MOORES IN BARREN COUNTY ORDER BOOKS 1799-1818 Compiled by Doug Moore I have copied all references to the name Moore (More, Moor, etc) from the four Order Book transcriptions published by Eva Coe Peden. I have copied verbatim from her books. I have used her index to find the Moore items. I have not searched the books for items that may have been omitted from the index. I feel that perhaps some of the names transcribed as Marrs or Mars should be Moore and perhaps vice versa in one or two cases.
