I have been trying to piece together the families of James Francis Moore and his brother, John Gay Moore. John Gay Moore is an ancestor of my neighbor who does not use a computer--yet. I found a copy of abstracts of early Jefferson Co. Wills at the Louisville library, which coupled with marriage records, presents a slightly larger list of children of James Francis Moore of Fish Pools Plantation. Will of James Francis Moore Written 7/18/1807 Recorded 1/8/1810 Will Book 1 page 228 Mentions wife Elizabeth, daughters Elizabeth Pendergast, Cassandra Miller, Zeruiah Jones, sons Hector Moore, Nimrod Moore Will of Elizabeth Moore, widow of James F. Moore Written 2/12/1833 recorded 4/7/1834 Will Book 3 page 10 Mentions sons Robert K. Moore, Joseph Moore, James F. Moore Will of Robert K. Moore Written 3/24/1838 recorded 9/3/1838 Will Book 3 page 160 Mentions sister Cassandra Miller, brothers Hiram W., Joseph Hamilton David Moore, Nephew Robert K. Moore If all of this is correct, then the children of James Francis Moore based upon wills are: Elizabeth m. Jesse Pendergast Cassandra Moore m. Robert Miller (not to be confused with John Gay Moore's daughter Cassandra Moore who married William K. Miller) Zeruiah Moore m. John Jones Hector Moore m. Elizabeth N. Luckett, mother Molly A. Luckett Nimrod Moore Hiram W. Moore Joseph Hamilton David Moore James Francis Moore Jr. There are a few other Moores that pop up that may tie into this family as well: Peter Higgins m. Maria W. Moore, father James Moore deceased, 8/28/1819 (since James Francis Moore's second wife was Elizabeth Higgins, this seems really likely to be a daughter.) Harrow D. Moore m. Rebecca Burge, father deceased 4/26/1820 Francis A. Moore m. Sarah Ferguson, father David Ferguson 5/9/1820 George W. Moore m. Mary C. Shively, father Philip Shively, guardian William Shively 7/12/1823 Alexander Moore m. Mary Kuykendall 3/5/1793 (More MOORE Marriages to follow in another message)

Alex- I have Moores in Jefferson County also, and there may be connections. I'm pretty sure that the one in this record you mentioned, is one of "mine:" Francis A. Moore m. Sarah Ferguson, father David Ferguson 5/9/1820 What is the source of that record by the way? Was that in Louisville or Jefferson County? Here are the top three generations of my Moore family.
