Jesse and Amelia MOORE, both born in SC emigrated to Ky. in a very early day and in 1826 sought a home in Jackson Twp.  They started October 8, and arriving here leased 70 acres of the NE 1/4 of Sec. 9, agreeing to build a house, set an orchard, besides clearing the 70 acres.  They had the privilege of using the whole quarter. There were 3 families of them: the old folks, Jesse and Amelia; Naoma Pruett and husband with family of two children; Thomas Moore and wife, with one child; and Job, a single man.  Jesse and his son Joab worked one half the land, and Thomas and Stephen the other half.  Thomas is now the wealthiest man in Jackson Twp.  Taken from: The 1880 History of Parke County, Indiana.  J.
