== Summary ==

The 1850 federal census has an implied birth of 1781; however, [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9950589/samuel-moore-echols findagrave] lists a birth at 1816. If he had been more in 1816, then his father would have been 80 so I find this unlikely.

He may also be listed in the [[1830 Federal Census, Alabama]].
