QUERIES (SteinbachJ@aol.com) ****I have a query that maybe some one can help me with. I am looking for a Nancy Moore of Franklin Co Va. She is in the IGI listed with a Jacob Moore. Nancy was born in 1810 and died after 1880. She married Christopher Richards 9 Feb 1826, and they raised their big family in Franklin Co. Va . My question is: Who is Jacob Moore, father or brother or just who? Also, where did they come from, another state or from some place overseas? I have the family of Christopher and Nancy on down to the present. Any help will be appreciated. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RICHARD WHITT ( Whittrw@aol.com) *****Since my first query in MOORE NEWS, I have learned a little more about the Moores in my family. Wickcliff "Wick"Moor (later spelled Moore) was born in Wise Co., VA and Armina (Moseley) Moore born in Floyd Co., KY. They were married abt 1874 in Greenup Co., KY and their children were: Mary Belle Moore b. 1879 in KY m. David Daniel Whitt on Feb. 15, 1900 in Lawrence Co., KY Ellen Moore (my grandmother) b. Nov. 28, 1882 in KY m. Henry Clayton "Clay"Whitt on June 20, 1903 in Lawrence Co., KY Anderson Moore, Samuel Moore, Luanna Moore, Cleveland Moore, Rebecca Moore m. James P. Barker on Jun. 3, 1903 Etha Moore, Morrison Moore, William Moore b. 1894, Wickliff b. 1902 I would really appreciate any further information about this family of Moores. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAT (PWesterfie@aol.com) *****I found a cousin on AOL who is also looking for relatives of John Calvin Moore -Charleston and Ozark Arkansas. After doing a phone search, I found another cousin born in 1904. She said our grandfather's father came from Atlanta and was sent there to do business for England. I think it would have been more generations back, but does anyone have a Moore from Atlanta? I think they were very, very strong Methodists. Thanks. RESPONSES BONITA SHAFER (sidlee@ix.netcom.com) *****Reply for Mike Gotwalt: from the MOORE NEWS New Members, Vol. ll April 6, 1997. I do believe your Daniel and mine are one in the same. I grow up in the area listening to my grandmother tell beautiful stories about the canals and our Indian background. I wish I had had the insight then to write more of it all down. Daniel helped build the CO canal. The Old Moore family home is located close the canals on MT Lock Hill out side of Sharpsburg. You will find most of the Moore's are buried at Samples Manor Cemetery in the old Sandy Hook District 11 or Mt View Cemetery in Sharpsburg, MD. RESEARCH LAVERNE (Mar523@aol.com) ***NOTE #3a: "THE EARLY SETTLERS OF MARYLAND, 1633-1680, of Hall of Records, Annapolis, MD" by Gus SKORDAS. Note that the term "Transported" is used uniquely. It means for this book, "someone other than the person indexed paid for his passage" -- not involuntarily transported as it usually meant that time frame. "Immigrated" means the individual furnished his own transportation to Maryland i.e. paid for his own passage. Those who brought themselves or others into early Maryland received 50 acres of land per head, i.e. per "head rights." That ceased in 1683. [all listings are alpha order. I have put them into family groupings where it was obvious they were together and came at the same time, except for the James MOORE listings; he came alone. KMS] Liber Folio Remarks: Moor, Richard ABH 312 Immigrated 1652. Moor, Temperance ABH 312 Immigrated 1652. Moor, Jane ABH 324 Transported 1652-3. Wife of Richard.

The 1810 Barnet, Caledonia, VT Census shows a David MOoore with 3M under 10 - 1M, 10-16 - 1M, 26-45 - 2F under 10 - 1F, 10-16 - 2F, 16-26 and 1F, over 45. As Barnet is on border of NH, next to Lyman, am wondering if this is my David Moore's family. I'm looking for other Moore researchers in New England. MOORE MISCELLANY Literally for months, I've been hoping for the space to use some of the poetry of Thomas Moore. It seems especially fitting that it's Spring and MOORE NEWS has the space to plant new thoughts. The Irish poet Thomas Moore, b. Dublin, May 28, 1779, d. Feb. 25, 1852, wrote many poems to be sung to traditional Irish airs, published in ten volumes as Irish Melodies (1807-34). His other works--including romances, such as Lalla Rookh (1817), and satires, such as the comic Fudge Family in Paris (1818)--were also well received. Moore prepared an edition (1830) of the letters of his friend Lord Byron. Enjoy these lilting lines and play them to the rhythm of bright Spring day. ~~~ I knew, by the smoke that so gracefully curl'd Above the green elms, that a cottage was near; And I said, "If there 's peace to be found in the world, A heart that was humble might hope for it here." Ballad Stanzas. ~~~ Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time. A Canadian Boat-Song. Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast, The rapids are near, and the daylight 's past. Ibid. ~~~ The minds of some of our statesmen, like the pupil of the human eye, contract themselves the more, the stronger light there is shed upon them. [Ahem! In the early 19th century, too?] Preface to Corruption and Intolerance. ~~~ The harp that once through Tara's halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls As if that soul were fled. So sleeps the pride of former days, So glory's thrill is o'er; And hearts that once beat high for praise Now feel that pulse no more. The Harp that once through Tara's Halls. ~~~ No, the heart that has truly lov'd never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets The same look which she turn'd when he rose. Believe me, if all those endearing young Charms. ~~~ You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. Farewell! But whenever you welcome the Hour. ~~~ Oft in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears, Of boyhood's years, The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone Now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken. Oft in the Stilly Night. ~~~ This world is all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given; The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow,-- There's nothing true but Heaven. This World is all a fleeting Show. ~~~ This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas, The past, the future,--two eternities! Lalla Rookh. The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan. But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last. Ibid. There 's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream. [A lovely, melodic Irish song.] Ibid. Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon. Ibid. ~~ Alas! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love! Hearts that the world in vain had tried, And sorrow but more closely tied; That stood the storm when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off, Like ships that have gone down at sea When heaven was all tranquillity. The Light of the Harem. ~~~ When Time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures too, The mem'ry of the past will stay, And half our joys renew. Song.
