You know, Judith, you keep sending this stuff and, finally, something rang a bell. When I first began researching my MOORE line I only knew my ggrandfather, William Co. Moore (whose mother was Mary French sister of Lafford). At that time, of course, I didn't know who William's mother was. All I had was the family bible which gave William C. Moore's birth and marriage and says that William C. Moore's mother, brother, wife and sister all died in Cape Girardeau Co., MO in the year 1839 and all buried in the same place. Afterwards, William took his children back to TN. In searching the court records of Cape Girardeau Co., MO, I was able to find that William C. Moore was executor to the estate of Morgan MOORE and figured that he was the brother, however, no mention of the female deaths. However, William C. Moore was guardian to Seabring children. I could never prove the connection and if William's sister, Jane had married a Seabring, but it just now hit me after all those years. This is the French / Seabring connection that has followed them all that way. I must find time to dig out all those files. Julia

There are several Moore's listed on the same 1790 census I mentioned earlier along with what I posted too. One was a John Moore but the others I could not read very well. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FRENCH-L] William French/Sebring You know, Judith, you keep sending this stuff and, finally, something rang a bell.
