  Notes	Moses Nowland was a lawyer, storekeeper, and a member of the State Legislature 1865-66. His 2nd wife Elizabeth had been his housekeeper. (CWW) In 1860, Moses Nowland was 31, a merchant in Huron, Wayne Co, with $1500 in real estate and $1000 in personal property. His wife Louisa was 23, and their three children were Ada 5, Ella 4, and Almon 11 months The 1870 census of Huron Tp listed Moses R. Nowland as a merchant with $6000 in real estate, and $6000 in personal property which undoubtedly represented the merchandise in his store. (Perhaps some of his real estate was inherited from his father who had died two years before.) He was 42, his wife Louisa was 35, and with them were "Ida" 15, Ella 14, Almond 11 & Eliza Jane 7. In 1880, Moses R. and Loisa Nowland were alone in the Village of New Boston, Huron Tp. He was a lawyer aged 52, Loisa was 45. In the 1900 census of New Boston, Moses Nowland was again listed as a lawyer. He was now 72, and his new wife Elizabeth was only 21, her father born in England, her mother in Germany. They had been married 4 years and had two children; Golday who was 3, and Moses R. who was not quite 2 years old. They had two boarders - a 50 year old widower named Thomas Wells, who had come from England as a boy in 1859 and was listed as a day laborer. (Probably Elizabeth's father, though not so designated.) The other was a 15 year old Michigan boy. [4]
