Part of this McDowell family moved into Harper Co. Ks, which is where I grew up. My great great grandfather, Isam Moore (son of Jonathan Moore) raised his brother John's children, one of which married an Anderson in Indian Grove. They too, moved to Mount Hope, Ks. I have the privilege of visiting with one of their descendants last year and gathering more information on this family and obtaining some pictures of various members of the older family. To my great sorrow, this person is now deceased. There were also Travis's that migrated into Ks. that are mixed in with this family. I have nothing further back on the Moores that when they first came into Ill from Tn. and the Carolinas. Would like to get a direct lead to go further back. Marilyn Krug
