Charity Moore was born ca 1774/84 (based on 1800 and 1810 census entries), presumably in Burke (now Buncombe) County, North Carolina. She was mentioned in the 1903 letter as a daughter of old William H. Moore: "Charity, who married Jesse Ballew".

Charity was probably home with her parents for the 1790 census, however it is impossible to say for sure. The 1790 census did not list females by age category. William Moore had 5 females, 1 of which was his wife, the other 4 daughters, probably including Charity.

Charity Moore married Jesse Ballew (or "Bellew") in the 1790-1800 time-frame. Jesse was born ca 1765/74 (per census analysis). I don't know who his parents were. The 1790 census shows a Joseph, Robert, Stephen and William Bellew in Burke County. Robert was listed near the Moores, and had a large enough family to possibly include Jesse as a son.

They were listed on the 1800 census in Buncombe County. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical so I can't determine who their neighbors were.

I was unable to locate them in 1820. Someone told me this family moved to Missouri. I did not find them there in 1820, 1830, 1840 or 1850.
