     Priscilla Sophia Moser was born circa 1829.² She married Edward George Woodin, son of William H Woodin and Margaret Price, on 24 December 1887 at Halifax, Nova Scotia.³

     Johanna Moser was born circa 1807 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada. She married George Harvey on 14 April 1857.¹
      The identification of Johanna Moser, second wife of George Harvey, with the daughter of Henry Moser and Mary Henneberry is unproven. Similarly it is only a plausible assumption, for now, that she is the mother of Elizabeth Martha Moser, wife of John Harvey.

     Susanna Moser was born circa 1819.

     Matthias Moser was born in 1802 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.¹ He married Margaret Sophia Matilda Moser, daughter of George P. Moser and Sarah Margaret Irwin.

     James Moser was born circa 1804. He married Margaret Woodin, daughter of William H Woodin and Margaret Price.
     
     I have included the children William, Charles, Alice, and Enos found with James and Margaret in the 1871 Census (Necum Teuch) along with Edward. Charles, who never married, is still with his parents in 1881, and with his widowed mother in 1891 (e.g. see my online transcription of the 1891 Smiths Cove Census).

     It seems quite likely that this James and Margaret should be identified with James Moser, son of Henry Moser and Mary Henneberry, and his wife Margaret Woodin; however, I have not yet taken this step.¹
     There is some doubt as to whether the James Moser who married Margaret Woodin is the James Moser, son of Henry Moser & Mary Henneberry.
     
It is also unclear whether this is the "James and Margaret Moser" couple who appear in the 1871 and 1881 Censuses of Necum Teuch, with son Charles. Charles also appears in the 1891 Census for Smiths Cove with his widowed mother Margaret (household #55 in my onlin transcription)

     Update: I have now (5 July 2008) identified the two "James and Margaret" couples. The primary reason for making this assumption is that Charles's mother is reported to be Margaret Woodin on his death certificate in 1935. Charles appears with James and Margaret in the 1871, 1881, and 1891 censuses (only with widowed mother Margaret in 1891).¹

     Philip H Moser was born in 1815 at Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada. He married Susanna Moser, daughter of Leonard Moser and Mary E. Currie, on 9 January 1845 at Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada.¹

     Anna Maria was born in 1713/14 at Bern, Switzerland. She married Hans Jacob Moser before 1731/32 at Switzerland. Anna Maria died on 28 April 1771 at Kingsburg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia.
     
     Anna Maria is often listed with the family name Zuiflower, or Zuifower, but I know of no evidence to support this.

     Anna Maria LaGarce was born in 1735 at Montbeliard.¹ She married first Casper Schauffelberger on 13 October 1752.² Anna Maria LaGarce married second Johann Jacob Hirtle, son of Michael Hirtle and Maria Bartin, on 11 May 1756 at St. John's Anglican, Lunenburg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Anna Maria is the widow of Casper Schauffelberger, Jr., who d. only a little over 3 weeks previously, according to Bell (Vol II, p. 691). Anna Maria LaGarce died on 7 July 1777 at Mahone Bay, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. She was buried on 9 July 1777.³

     John Henry Moser was born on 9 January 1817 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. He married Margaret Ann MacDonald, daughter of Daniel/Donald McDonald and Elizabeth Haddy, on 11 January 1858 at St. James Anglican Church, Port Dufferin, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.¹ John Henry Moser died on 28 January 1891 at Nova Scotia at age 74.

     Mary Henneberry was born circa 1778 at Eastern Passage, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. She married Henry Moser, son of Heinrich Moser and Johanna Maria Hirtle, on 15 April 1798 at St. George's Anglican Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Mary Henneberry died after 1851.

     

     Margaret Ann MacDonald was born on 26 December 1835 at Jordan River, Shelburne County, Nova Scotia.^1,2 She married John Henry Moser, son of Henry Moser and Mary Henneberry, on 11 January 1858 at St. James Anglican Church, Port Dufferin, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.³ Margaret Ann MacDonald died on 14 May 1908 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, at age 72.^4,5
     

     George Richard Shellnutt was born on 4 November 1863 at Nova Scotia.¹ He married Elizabeth Jane Nelson, daughter of Robert Nelson and (?) Frances, on 12 September 1889 at Onslow, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. George Richard Shellnutt married Margaret Priscilla Moser, daughter of John Henry Moser and Margaret Ann MacDonald, on 30 March 1921 at Necum Teuch, Nova Scotia. George Richard Shellnutt died on 13 January 1941 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, at age 77. He was buried at St. John's Cemetery, Necum Teuch, Nova Scotia.

     Martha (?) married Silas David Moser, son of John Henry Moser and Margaret Ann MacDonald.

     Margaret Riley was born on 9 January 1874.^2,3 She married Daniel Henry Moser, son of John Henry Moser and Margaret Ann MacDonald, on 5 January 1894 at Flat River, Prince Edward Island, Canada.¹ Margaret Riley died in 1960 at Prince Edward Island, Canada.⁴

     Margaret Jane Jewers was born on 22 January 1868 at Ecum Secum, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. She was christened on 21 June 1868 at St James Anglican, Port Dufferin, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. She married Albert Wesley Moser, son of John Henry Moser and Margaret Ann MacDonald, in 1894. Margaret Jane Jewers died on 22 March 1898 at age 30.

     Thomas Edwin Powell was born on 21 September 1871 at Windlesham, Surrey, England.^1,2 He married Johanna Maria Moser, daughter of John Henry Moser and Margaret Ann MacDonald, on 21 September 1897 at Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada.³ Thomas Edwin Powell died on 10 February 1949 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 77.⁴

     George Cherry Moser was born in December 1901 at Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada.² He married Dorothy Maria Powell, daughter of Thomas Edwin Powell and Johanna Maria Moser, on 21 November 1942 at St. Giles Presbyterian, Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.¹ George Cherry Moser died on 28 August 1986 at Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 84. He was buried at Old cemetery, Moser River, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.

     John Urban Smith was born on 9 November 1896 at Necum Teuch, Nova Scotia.¹ He married Mary Margaret Powell, daughter of Thomas Edwin Powell and Johanna Maria Moser, on 14 January 1925 at The Manse, Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia.¹ John Urban Smith died on 25 March 1960 at age 63.
     

     The identification of this John Urban Smith, son of Thomas and Margaret, as the John Smith who married Mary Powell is somewhat speculative and needs verification.
