Introduction /Section 1 / Justine Moore Chance I grew up along with my seven siblings on the Alfred Moore Land Grant and cherish my days on that land: land which was never trod on, as my husband Jerry says, by anyone except the Indians and the Moores. I never really thought about broader kinship until I retired from teaching, lost a son and felt a strong urge to make connections. Sometimes, when tired and discouraged about finding descendants from Nathaniel and Margaret to the present, I think of those who have gone on (Pete Chance included), I feel a tug at my heart and bravely pick up my phone and dare to call my unmet kin and ask personal questions.

Special thanks: The Bedford Moore Family Bible’s recorded dates were used (preserved by Pleas Moore then Alma Moore Montgomery) courtesy Velera Montgomery Milam, present holder. Thanks go to her and to Mildred Moore Crosby, holder of the Alfred/Charity Moore Family Bible (preserved by Thomas Judston Moore then James M. “Jim” Moore) which was also used as confirmation of dates of birth for their family.

Other contributions include materials collected by Vernon Striegel; Zula Moore Readey, History of the Moores found in Lilly Younger’s History of Decatur County; David Donahue, website and Yesterday’s Tennessee, (now manned by Jerry Butler). All of those, excluding Jerry of course, are now deceased.

I especially want to thank family members from the Pleas Moore family, Velera Milam and Betty Ruth Mangum for sending letters, pictures and offering their help in any way possible. Thank you, Elmeda DeLong Hudson for packets with history and pictures of the Glendora Swafford line. Thank you, Helen Humphreys for the package of interesting materials from the Francener Moore Striegel branch of the family. I have gotten to know Jay T. Moore’s daughter, Janice Griggs, Decaturville, and TN. who also sent pictures via email and introduced me to the Huddleston web page. Thank you, Janice. Thanks to the some authors of books: Norma Pauline Moore submitted It’s a Dog’s Life and poems, My Life. I still have a copy of my brother Rex’s book, Bunny’s Journal and I was recently gifted with a copy of LeRoy Moore’s entertaining read, The House of Moore. So added to their efforts, I hope this attempt at filling in some gaps and making some connections will enlighten and give added insight as to who we are.

NATHANIEL MOORE (Some History) Nathaniel Moore b. 7-3-1787 d. 9-1871 married Margureth Phillips b.6-4-1788 d.3-19-1867 He was a blacksmith and died away from the Perryville area, place unknown. He is listed in Lilly Younger’s Decatur County Tennessee County History Series, Memphis State University Press, Memphis, Tennessee 1979 (vol 20) in the 1850 Census as a 62 year old blacksmith from North Carolina. His son Alfred was listed in that publication on p. 10 as a carpenter, 34 years of age, from North Carolina. On page 19, Claude Dillinger (Mittie Moore’s husband) was recorded as having moved from Indiana to Perryville where he established a blacksmith shop in 1897, in addition to the Moore’s shop at Sardis Ridge . Government land grants 8623 and 11715 are noted in Zula Moore Readey’s sketch of Nathaniel in Lilly Younger’s History. Nathaniel Moore signed (#117) a petition for division of Perry County, and was listed on the Perry Co. tax list of 1837 as Nathaniel Moore, Dist.4 (p. 90).

Other research: Nathaniel Moore b.7-3-1787 was a descendant of one of the original Moore brothers who came to this continent from Glasglow, Scotland probably in the mid to late 1700’s. Nathaniel married Margureth Phillips b.6-24-1788 and they were residents of Surry Co. when they and their four children when they set out for Perry Co. TN. Their children were Alfred Lynch b.5-1-1816, Margaret “Peggy”, Tennessee “Tennie” and Mary Moore. Their wagon train was delayed in Bedford Co. TN. for the birth of Bedford William Moore (9-5-1928) before proceeding to their destination. (A different story has been told that this group traveled down the Tennessee River on a flatboat, by way of Muscle Shoals, to the Perryville area.) When the family arrived in Perry Co. TN. in 1928, Nathaniel entered a land grant, for land near Perryville. Their first home was built near a spring. Later in 1850, Nathaniel entered a second land grant, on December 10, 1850 for100 acres. Nathaniel was a blacksmith and he was away from home, working at the time of his death. Due to a horrible snow storm, and weather unfit for returning his body to Sardis Ridge Cemetery, he was buried in the area of Mifflin TN. where his daughter Mary McGlothlin lived. (See Yesterday’s TN. for different version)

Going Back The following is information I attained from Margaret Ballard Moore, wife of Ruben Moore, Jr. They own and reside in the old Alfred Lynch Moore home place on McKenzie Road in the Sardis Ridge community. >David Moore arrived in Philadelphia, PA. in 1739 along with his 7 brothers. They came from Ulster, Ireland and their names were listed in the ship’s manifest as: David Moore, Andrew Moore, Alexander Moore, John Moore, James Moore, Samuel Moore, William Moore and George Moore. (The Mother’s maiden name was Baxter, as listed in Londonderry in 1689.) >Benjamin Moore b.1766 was the son of David (our direct line). His son was Nathaniel. ******** Note: This writer found some interesting facts while researching the Moore’s in the Decatur Co. Library in Decaturville, TN. in August 2005. The name John Moore was also listed in the book, Heads of Families-North Carolina, Salisbury District, Surry County pp. 185. (Our ancestors lived there at the time of this census.) ******** The following information was gathered by Mildred Moore Crosby from our Aunt Zula Moore Readey. Aunt Zula died in 1989, a few years after my father, her brother, Jim Moore died. .. So all of Tom Moore’s children are deceased. This document goes back to the days of my great, great grandfather, Nathaniel.

Text: My grandfather, Thomas Johnston Moore (Tom Moore) told us that the Moores came from Glasglow, Scotland. He said people referred to his grandfather Nathaniel as “Nattie”.

According to a historian named Hanna who wrote a book called “The Scotch Irish”, the Moores moved from Glasglow Scotland to Ireland because an Irish clan leader named O’Neil got into trouble with the government of the English Queen Elizabeth.

Con O’Neil was chieftain of the northern half of Ireland County Down, just across the north channel of the Irish Sea from Scotland. The English queen’s minister was preparing to hang O’Neil when his wife made a deal with two Scottish lords that were to save his life. The lords were Hugh Montgomery of Braidstone and Sir James Hamilton, both living in Northern Ayrshire. Montgomery and Hamilton and their followers crossed the channel and rescued O’Neil as they had promised each man received a third of O’Neils land. O’Neil later “ran through” his share. The rights of Hamilton and Montgomery to hold their portions later were confirmed by King James with the provision that the lands be resettled with people from Scotland.

The Moores were among the families who resettled from Scotland in county down Ireland. The resettlement took place in the early 1600’s, mostly 1606. The Moores of Ayrshire were by no means the first Moores in Ireland. There had been Moores in Ireland since the Celtic wave of immigration in pre- Christian times. The Ayrshire Moores are credited by historian Hanna with having fought gallantly in the siege in Londonderry which was a part of a conflict between the Protestants of Northern Ireland and the Irish Catholics. It is an argument that is not settled.

In the year 1739 there were 9 sturdy Moore brothers who came ashore in Philadelphia from a ship newly arrived from Ulster in Northern, Ireland. They were part of the Moore Clan that came to Ireland from Scotland. Tradition says they stepped into a tavern and ordered a jug of whiskey. They toasted a colorful past, they toasted a promising future and then they started down the Appalachian Trail to the Carolinas and opportunity.

One of the Moore brothers next appeared in Borden’s Grant permanently and reared a family there. The other brothers stayed for different lengths of time then moved south as they pleased. The doings of the Moores in Bordon’s Grant are discussed in historian Waddell’s “Annals of Agusta County”. One of David Moore’s sons, Benjamin, was born in 1766. Benjamin moved to North Carolina in what later became Surry County where he reared a family. One of his sons, Nathaniel (Nattie) was born July 3, 1787. Nathaniel married Margaret Phillips who was born in North Carolina June 24, 1788.

In the early spring of 1828, Nathaniel and his wife Margaret along with his son Alfred and daughters, Margaret (Peggy) Tennessee (Tennie) and Mary joined a group of families who were headed west into Tennessee. They slowly made their way through the Piedmont section of North Carolina and on to the foothills before reaching the Smokey Mountains. They crossed the mountains and made their way through the deep silent forests of ash, elm and hickory on trails cut by the Indians.

The men rode on the flanks and at the rear of the caravan, protecting the women from raids by savages and bandit outlaws who preyed on the unwary. The women rode in the carts piled high with their household goods, treasured heirlooms, frying pans, bedsteads, medicines, bolts of cloth to make new clothes and the tools the men would need to carve new homes out of the Wilderness.

Margaret Moore was pregnant when they started the trip and when the wagon train reached Bedford County, Tennessee they made camp while she gave birth to a son on September 5, 1828. They named him Bedford William Moore after the county where he was born. The family remained there until the mother was able to travel and they proceeded on to Perryville Landing on the west bank of the Tennessee River. At this time the territory was in Perry County, Tennessee and Perryville was the county seat. No Decatur County at this time.

When they arrived, they entered a tract of land about one and a half miles from Perryville Landing near the location of the Sardis Ridge Church today. They built a log cabin near a large spring. The cabin was built with logs from clearing the land, fitted together and fastened with wooden pegs instead of nails. The roof was made of wooden shingles. The only tools available were axes, augers, and possibly a cross-cut saw.

Crude indeed were the first log cabins with their puncheon floors, wooden shutters for windows, leather latch strings to fasten the doors, stone and clay chimneys, clay hearth stones. Primitive was the homemade furniture within them. A table split from a large log, a bedstead made of poles interlaced with bears skins, They used the old spinning wheel, hung their rifles in forked cleats over the door with powder horn hung beside it. There were three legged stools, split bottom chairs, cast iron spiders, long handled frying pans and a movable Dutch oven. All cooking was done on the fireplace. The Land Grant # 8623 shows this occurred in 1828. In 1832 Nathaniel Moore and his family moved into a larger two story log building which he built and there he reared his family. While Nathaniel (Nattie) Moore was a carpenter and blacksmith and part time farmer, he spent most of his time as a blacksmith in his new home in Tennessee. His old anvil, bellows and other blacksmith tools were handed down from generation to generation and are now in the possession of Thomas (Tom) Johnston Moore heirs. ******** End of Transcript **********

The Civil War Era The following is an article published for me in Renae Burkholder’s webpage on the internet: Civil War Stories. I had heard the story all my life from a sister, Mildred Moore Crosby. She lived in the Nathaniel Moore log house for a couple of years while living with her in laws, George and Bessie Crosby, while her husband Frank was away during WWII. At that time her son Gerald was a baby. Mr. George and Mrs. Bessie as we called them, were our neighbors and owners of the house, pictured . (East end porch)

The Fat Calf It was back some time during the Civil War when fast horse and many soldiers raced to the front of the log cabin belonging to the Nathaniel Moore family. The commander was Nathan Bedford Forrest. He set up camp at the foot of the hill, below the cabin, and beside the family spring. He then walked up to my great, great, grandfather, Nathaniel and said, “Old Man, we’re camping here by your spring tonight and we are taking your fat steer for food”.

My Great, Great Grandmother had heard and turned to her husband pleadingly. “Don’t let them take my fat steer!” “We’ve fed it and fed it, just waithing for the right time for the slaughter,” she protested vigorously. Great, Great Grandfather Moore shushed her quickly and said sternly, “Woman, get back in the house!” The urgency in his voice told the family of the present danger in no uncertain terms. The soldiers were starving and so the steer was butchered, carved up and cooked in the Moore’s big black wash kettle. The meat was thoroughly utilized by the traveling group of soldiers. Great, Great Grandma’s steer was gone.

{The Moore’s house that had been built by Nathaniel himself was the typical log cabin put together with notched logs. The pine floors were nailed to the supporting beams with wooden pegs. The logs had mud daubing between them and the stairway led to the loft where the chimney continued and extended through the shingled roof. I, (Norma Justine) remember a favorite place as a child was to sit on the bottom steps of the stairway by the big fireplace. I would climb the steps to the loft where the family beds were spread out. This place was at that time the property of our neighbors George and Bessied Crosby and we visited them regularly.}

Nathaniel Moore was a wood craftsman as well as a blacksmith and had built all of his family’s furniture. When the officer in charge realized that Nathaniel’s son Alfred was also gifted at that craft, he was drafted to do work for the military unit and he was sent to the Tennessee River camp (near Camden, TN.) where help was needed in wood crafting and other specialized engineering. That spot on the Tennessee River is designated today as Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park.

My grandfather, Tom Moore, was around 6 years of age at the time of the war and he remembered hearing the booming sounds of the cannon as he sat on the front porch of Alfred and Charity’s home. Sis Mildred says Dad always told the story and said the cannons’ sounds were coming from the Battle of Shiloh. She thinks that would have been too distant for the sounds to reach Perryville, TN., several miles further down the river, and it would have to have been happening at the battle at Old Johnsonville , near Camden. Sounds do carry well over water though, so maybe the older ones had it right and Shiloh cannons it wa

The original old Nathaniel Moore home in 1940 after many years wear and some added construction. At this time it was owned by George and Bessie Crosby. Their home was a favorite place for gatherings after Sunday services at Sardis Ridge Baptist Church. Note: The original cabin and chimney still stood then.

Nathaniel Moore/Justine Moore Chance, writer

NATHANIEL and MARGARET’S DAUGHTERS *DD (It is too bad that the daughter’s families have a way of disappearing in the mix. Maybe some news will be uncovered through this publication and missing names can be added to this list.)

*DD TENNESSEE ’TENNIE’ MOORE b. Surry Co. North Carolina m.____ Scott. The Scott family moved to Kentucky and nothing more was heard of the family. She is believed to have died in Kentucky in 1877 or 1878. (note) This writer found a name listed in Vol. 2 of a book by Byron and Barbara Sistler Early West Tennessee Marriages (Brides) page 206 : Moore, Tennie M. to John H. Walker 12-25-1848 Cr. Since the name Tennie would be rather rare, there may possibly be a connection.

*DD MARY MOORE b.1816 Surry Co. North Carolina m. Samuel McGlaughlin b.1814 farmer Mifflin, Henderson Co. Tennessee. (Henderson Co. 1870 Census) It is said that Nathaniel was visiting Mary at the time of his death. No record left as to burial site. James LeRoy Moore in his book, The House of Moore, has a sketch of a blank headstone and describes it as Nathaniel’s gravesite in the Mifflin Cemetery, located between Luray and Jackson.

Writer’s note: Alice Faye “Johnny” Hanna cites an error in the first printing, stating that Buel Achilee Montgomery did not descend from the Lucy Margaret Moore line but from a different Montgomery group. Hence, his line has been removed from this second printing. Buel’s brothers, Robert Nelson and Jess Harrison have also been excluded from this printing. It was a pleasure talking to that line of Montgomerys. ( Alice Faye is related to these Montgomerys also but not through the Moores. ) It gets to be a bit confusing so no wonder the error did occur.

Writer’s note: In 1954 I was a student at Union University in Jackson, TN and dropped out a year to attend to my arthritic mother, Verna Moore, and also to work at the Parsons Salant and Salant Shirt / Pants Factory. I drove the old Desota from Sardis Ridge to work for awhile then heard of a taxi service going to the factory, daily. I joined the group of Perryville workers and paid the driver, J.T. Moore (see above) my 25cents for the five miles there and 25cents return home. Mrs. Lockie Allen and Mrs. Alice Gregory of Perryville, were 2 of the women I remember being in the car-pool. Incidentally, J. T. was appreciated by us all and he was a great country road driver. I did not realize then, that he and I were both descendants of Nathaniel and Margaret Moore!

This information given to me by Paul Striegel, former boat captain then marina owner, Paducah, KY.) Helen Hicks Humphrey says that when Frank moved to Perryville with his team of mules he took to boarding with the Bedford Moore family. When he was asked to say grace at the evening meal he was stunned and muttered: “Dear Lord, Put my hands behind me, chastise and bind me, throw me in the woodpile, where the devil can’t find me. Amen.” Helen said that the Moores were mortified and then Bedford told him ‘ “Young man, you will never make fun of God in this household“. Frank told others later that he thought the older man was going to kick him out of his home, though he did allow him to stay. Later after he and the young Francina married and had children, he said, “By God, Francie, my children gotta have church. He gave the lumber, went to Paducah and bought the church bell and helped the people get a pastor for the first church built at Perryville, TN.

The Alfred and Charity Bussell Moore Homeplace

Rueben Moore and family moved to the Alfred Moore home place in 1940 when Tom’s son John sold out his share of that farm and he and his family moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas. The present owner, Rueben, Jr. has re-furbished the place and thank goodness never saw fit to tear it down.(family pride) His wife Margaret is doing research on her family as well as the Moores.

When Jerry and I went by their home a few years ago for a short visit, Bill Moore (now deceased) was there that day and he allowed us to peek underneath the building to see some of the original logs put there by the hands of Alfred Moore in early1800. The house has been taken care of even though siding has been added, the old porch surrounding the well has long been torn away and modern water pump installed. The huge barn is also gone as well as the various outbuildings used for storing potatoes, smoked meat, etc. I do wonder what happened to the old grinding stone and other tools. I know that Nathaniel’s old blacksmith anvil is still in the family and the corn shelling tool is held by Gerald Moore Crosby.

My sister Mildred told me once that she can still visualize Grand Pa Moore “Tom”, with one unfastened gallous hanging from his overalls, walking around the kitchen with it’s huge fireplace, while chewing on a salt pickle from the big crock where Grand Ma Minerva put up her garden cucumbers each year. (Her trademark was the gold hoop earrings she always wore.) I have her recipe and have made those same pickles, and I like my hoop earrings but I can’t remember either of my paternal grandparents.

Mildred says that Grand Pa had an apple orchard and she remembers when the wind blew apples from the trees, but not until, Jim’s and John’s or any of the grandchildren could eat all they wanted. (The firm apples stayed on the tree for drying or canning.) She also remembers Uncle Lewis, Aunt Lucy and family coming from Perryville by wagon and how she other children would race to get the fallen apples before the Perryville grandchildren arrived.

In later life, according to my sister Lola, Grand Pa and Grand Ma had a truly modern clapboard home with gas lights, fancy wood-burning cooking range and of course beautiful pieces of furniture hand crafted by his father the carpenter, Alfred Moore. Tommie Readey Alexander has the bookcase. A table and the family portraits are also being taken care of by someone in Aunt Zula Moore Readey’s family or possibly by Lynn McDaniel grand daughter of Aunt Dutch Davis. Note Doris Moore Barton (Uncle John’s daughter) confirmed what my brother Rex Moore said about our grandfather. It seems that Tom, being a squire and having a giving disposition, managed to co-sign several notes for people who needed loans during those hard times. Grand Pa ended up selling off some of the land grant in order to pay off some of those notes that he had co-signed, so the original acreage was around 300.

When we got the call that Daddy had a stroke and was hospitalized in Parsons, Jerry, our children and I left our home in New Orleans for the little house at 311 W. Second St. not knowing how long we would be there. Dad’s home could not accommodate everyone so some of the family had already arrived and were settled in at Aunt Zula and Uncle Jesse Readey’s home, located on Main Street beside their grocery store. Uncle Clarence and Aunt Earline then invited my family to come stay with them. They put us in an upstairs bedroom there in that big white house on Peaveyhouse Avenue.(plenty of room for Diane and Pete’s games and books) Earline and her Mother were very gracious and provided breakfasts for us each day before we left to sit at Dad’s hospital bedside.

Then at one point I was a bit shocked when Uncle Clarence came into the hospital room, went over to Dad and while leaning over him, literally yelled into his ear. In his big booming bass voice he shouted, “Jim, they’re all here, every single one of your kids, all eight of them. They are all here with you!“ There was no response of course and we all continued the silent vigil.

Later that week I remember seeing Billy Pinkney, M.D. and others while working over my dad,

16 and trying to revive him from a final stroke, scraped a wooden paddle across the sole of Dad’s foot and got no reaction. Daddy had gone to join his wife Verna Belle Gilbert Moore, our mother.

I never thought to say to Uncle Clarence, “Thank you for giving that brotherly message of love to my dad.” I think now that Dad heard it and I think he went a little easier because of it. My Uncle Clarence, “LeBob“, also rests there now, in the Sardis Ridge Cemetery with his siblings, his parents Minerva and Tom and their parents, Alfred and Charity; all in the Moore row.
