Moore family of Upson County, found mostly in the Thomaston-Upson Archives in Thomaston, GA. There is an extensive Moore file researched and written years ago by Upson County genealogist and historian, Jack Morgan. I know of no connection of Charles to the Moore ancestry that I seek, other than geography, but perhaps many of the early Moore Upson County, GA pioneers were kin. My records have Charles W. Moore (b abt 1810) m Ann Elizabeth Harris. It seems that Charles was widowed before the 1850 census. For, at this time his household is listed as Charles W. Moore, saddler, age 40, Ann T 45 or 14 (probably his daughter), Charles J 13, Fran T 9, Margret 7. There is another entry for a Charles W. Moore on page 110 of the Early History of Upson County, 1930 by The Upson Co. Historical Soc. Charles drew land in District 561. The Listing is for "parties in Upson County who drew land in other parts of the state in 1827, and the Cherokee Lottery". I also found a January 19, 1856 deed record to a Benj. Bethel, where Charles W. Moore is named as trustee for his children. Since the 2000 RootsWeb postings, I have learned more about the family of my great-great grandmother, Mary Annie Moore (1827-1899) who m James Richardson Black. Mary Annie had siblings John Jackson Moore (1822-1887) who m first Mary Ann Trice and second Laurie Hightower, Obediah Franklin Moore (1823-1903) who m Frances Ann Trice; and Mary Elizabeth Moore (1831-1850) who m James Banks Colquitt. Their parents are thought to be James Howard Moore (b bet 1791-1800) and Jane Hollifield (b 1803 d Jan 19, 1864). The parents of James Howard Moore are thought to be George Moore (d 1855) and Rachel Williams. Rachel was the daughter of John B. Williams and Susana Mourning. Barbara McDaniel Ray Atlanta, GA
