Facts and Events
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. H.
