Comment by Paulette M. Switzer-Tatum on October 7, 2014 at 7:37pm: I descend from Anthony Moore and his wife Zilphia/Zilpha/Zilpah Haines. I'm learning a lot about my Richard Haines ancestry on this website and through other books and records, but I know little about my Moores, other than that they may have come from Ticehurst, Sussex, England to Virginia and were at one time Quakers in Frederick, VA. Anthony's father seems to have been David Moore whose father was William Moore. I descend from Anthony and Zilphia's son David and his wife Margaret Sherman of Blount County, TN. Anybody connected?

Comment by Jo Spencer on October 6, 2014 at 12:10pm: My daughter's father is Jimmie Moore, son of Dewey, son of John. On the 1860 census, Morgan Co, KY, John is 6. (And I have not exactly proven this is her line; but I believe it is.) Nancy is 38, Henry 15, Cynthia 13, Mary 10, Eliza 8, Anna 3, Emily 1. At Family Search, Eliza and Anna's parents given as James Moore and Nancy McClain. I then traced Nancy; she is with her grand-parents, John and Elizabeth Sexton in 1850 Morgan Co. Nancy 28, Melvina 6 (this might be Cynthia), Mary 1. She may have had those daughters out-of-wedlock, then had the other children by James Moore, and Henry 15 of the 1860 census is probably James' son who is with her. 1860 Galatin, Clay Co, MO; James Moore 60 b. KY Zachariah 11 b. MO, Hariet Herndon 47 b. KY, William 12 b. MO. Could this Hariet be Frances Herndon? He obviously had two families going in KY and MO. 1850 Liberty, Clay Co, M); James S Moore 50 b. KY, Francis 43 b. VA, James W 11 b. MO, John W 8 b. MO, Henry C 6 b. MO, Zachery 2 b. KY.

Comment by Tammy Jones on October 6, 2014 at 11:50am: Hello Jo,

I have spent the past two years searching for James S Moore, and where he

came from. If you have any further luck, please let me know, He was married before his marriage(s) to Francis and Nancy. Two if his daughters married the same Cinnamond, and Francis was the widow of Marcus Cinnamond.

Please contact me if you make any further discoveries. Tammy

Comment by Jo Spencer on October 6, 2014 at 8:59am: I have just joined this site, so it may take a awhile before I learn how to use it. I am researching my daughter's paternal great-grandfather, John Moore of Morgan and Wolfe Co, KY. I knew his mother was Nancy, but until I saw your posts here, couldn't get any further. Now, I have traced James S Moore. I did find him on the census in Clay Co, MO. He married Frances Herndon, before he married Nancy (McClain.) He had children by both women and I am now sorting out the children. He married Frances in Shelby Co, KY. Thank you for helping me over this brick wall.

Comment by William J Moore on August 19, 2014 at 6:09pm: I am looking for any information on John Moore and his wife Margaret McCullough. He was born around 1806 in the western part of Pennsylvania. Margaret was born in 1808 in western Pennsylvania also.

Comment by Tammy Jones on July 30, 2013 at 4:04pm: I did some looking after I heard from you, and the only William Rose I found was married, and much older than Eliza. Do you know anything about him?

Comment by Tammy Jones on July 30, 2013 at 4:02pm: I am not related to the Moore's at all, my husband is. He is:

Michael Jones, his mother was Loretta Moore, her father was Stanley Moore, his father was John H Moore, his father was John W(Dee) Moore, his father was James S. Moore, or Jimmie. We have bunches of family pictures, is your family from Wolfe County?

I started making a family tree in December, and was hooked within days, I still haven't done much on my family, trying to connect all of the dots on his ancestors. Have you been searching long?

Comment by Dolly C. Bair on July 30, 2013 at 2:59pm: Tammy, How are you related to Jimmie Moore?

Comment by Tammy Jones on July 30, 2013 at 7:15am: I have found some new info on James Silas Moore b 1800, Kentucky.

I believe he married a Frances Herndon Cinnamon, in Shelby County, KY and went to Clay County, Missouri. He then traveled back to Kentucky, between 1850 and 1860, married and had children with Nancy McClain, left her, along with his son Henry, and went back to Clay County, Missouri. Where he died sometime between 1860 and 1870. Can anyone identify this James Silas Moore, now that I have found more information? Thanks, Tammy Jones
