Person:William Moore (234)

William Moore was born ca 1774/84 (based on 1810 census entry and assuming he was "under 16" back in 1790, or born 1774-1790), presumably in Burke (now Buncombe) County, North Carolina. He was mentioned in the 1903 letter as a son of old William H. Moore. It was stated that he moved to Missouri and raised a family there.

I don't have much data on William for there were several Williams in early Buncombe, and I don't know to be sure which was this one.

I believe that William was home with his parents in 1790, age "under 16" (born ca 1774/90).

He appears to still be at home in 1800, age 16-25 (born ca 1774/84).

William married someone in the 1800-1810 time-frame. The 1810 census shows several Williams, but one listed as William "Jr" was just a few houses from Thomas Moore, so it seems reasonable that this is the same William. He was also just a few houses from James Rutherford, his brother-in-law.

There was only one William Moore in Buncombe in 1820, but I don't believe it was this William, but I could be wrong. This probably shows that he moved to Missouri before 1820. I have no data on where in Missouri he moved to. There were over 40 Williams in Missouri in 1850, and I have not attempted to find out which of them (if any) is this same William.
