Sheila, I just was going by some information I had got from a person. I just could not see them being divorced but buried side by side. However it does happen at times. Martha's tombstone is in good shape at Browning Hill. I cant say that for Calvin's. I found part of it but not the rest of it. I am not giving up. just takes time to go probe the ground looking for tombstones. Thanks again for the information. Just one thing where is Robert Moore buried? Thanks, Dale ----- Original Message ----- Dale, I found a footnote in Martha Browning Jones Moore's probate that she married Robert Moore after the death of her husband Calvin Jones. Then found the following: January 1851: Bennett A Browning petitions the court to be granted Letters of Administration on the estate of Calvin Jones, deceased, proof of having been made of the death and special right given to the widow and creditor having elapsed. In October 1852 the widow Patsy Jones is now the wife of Robert Moore, and is allowed $143. Probate Book ABC. Conclusion: Martha Browning and Calvin Jones were not divorced.

Dale, is this the right Robert Moore? Early Court Records Franklin Co IL 1836-1876 Vol I pg 89 (Pulliam) October 1873: Martha MOORE complains that on 1 September 1872 and at divers other times, Benjamin HARRISON sold Robert C. MOORE, her husband, intoxicating liquor and that by such intoxication, Robert MOORE has squandered all their money and property and has become greatly reduced, impoverished, and degraded in his mind as well as in his body as in his estate and neglected and ceased to tending his business and calling of a farmer and has neglected to provide in any manner a livelihood for her and that due to his intoxication, she has been deprived of her means of support and he has damaged, wasted and destroyed her property,l to wit: on horse, one cow and calf, alot of canned peaches and blackberries one bed and alot of clothing and has assulted and beat, bruised and ill treated the plaintiff t the damage of the plaintiff of $1.00. She states that she was and still is the wife of Robert C. MOORE. That due to Benj. HARRISON providing liquor to Robert C. MOOE, he has become an habitual drunkard. She further swears that HARRISON was the owner and occupant of certain buildings in Franklin Co. where, until the commencement of this suit, he permitted the sale of alcohol.
