Notes for Moses Kanouse
Aaron Kanouse letter mentions Uncle Mose, who moved to KS.
From Ancestry.com, U.S. Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles 1861-1865:
Enlisted in Company C, Michigan 5th Cavalry Regiment on 07 Feb 1865. Mustered out on 02 Jun 1865. Transferred to Company F, Michigan 7th Cavalry Regiment on 02 Jun 1865. Mustered out on 15 Dec 1865 at Fort Leavenworth, KS. [Note that these dates and companies are exactly the same as for brother Michael.]
Roy Oehler had his birth date as 11 Dec 1848, but Find A Grave (listing for Pvt Moses Michael Kanouse) says 15 Apr 1846. The 1846 date fits with him being 18 at enlistment (date shown in the above Ancestry.com record), so I will go with it. However, the gravestone shown on Find A Grave indicates 1845 and the 1900 census shows his birth as Apr 1845, so it's questionable.
Find A Grave and the new Master Knauss Descendancy list call him Moses Michael. I'm not sure if this is right or if they are mixing up him and his brother Michael.
From Find A Grave (listing for Pvt Moses Michael Kanouse):
Moses Michael's wife was Kate Carr, born Ireland, previously married to John Carr and David Osborn per contributor jaknouse
From Find A Grave (listing for Catherine "Kate" Carr Osborn Kanouse):
She married Moses Michael Kanouse, her third husband, in Corning, Iowa on December 11th, 1884.
Their daughter Pearl Kanouse married Irving W Brown in Omaha in February of 1908.
After Kate passed away Moses lived with Pearl and her family for many years.
