Judy, I can't say with certainity but can take a very good guess. As you probably know, William T. McCauley was the s/o John Henry McCauley and Sarah Cheatham. John Henry McCauley had two children who married into the Moore family. --Sarah Ann McCauley married John F. Moore March 8, 1858 Randolph Co., AR --James Robert McCauley married Mary Elizabeth Moore abtout 1864-1867 *Now John F. Moore died in the civil war about 1862-1863 and Sarah Ann McCauley Moore remarried 2) Crocker K. Ponder and later married 3)James Henry Vester, Sr. Jan 19, 1869 Randolph Co., AR. Now both Joseph and Ellen 'fit' with ages, location, etc to be children of Sarah and John. This would also agree with nephew that Joseph has. Has anyone found this Joseph and Ellen on the 1870 census? *My interest to this family is that several of the Moores and McCauleys married into my Wright family in Randolph Co., AR.

Ann, thank you so much! I'm pretty sure you have helped me knock a hole in my brick wall!!! Last night, I started looking for a John Moore in Arkansas in 1860 and a Joe Moore in the same place in 1880 on familysearch.org. The Joseph A. Moore in Little Black (is that a town or a township?), Randolph, AR is listed as 19, a year older than he's "supposed" to be, but I think he is mine. My aunt has told me two or three times that Joe's father was John Moore and that he was killed by raiders in the Civil War, when Joe was 2 years old (2 months old?), "because the jayhawkers thought he had money because he lived in a nice brick house." She didn't know if their were siblings, or anything about his mother. Joe may have even been wrong about his own birthdate by a year. Since I had just hit upon these people last night, I know almost NOTHING about them, except what I found on www.familysearch.org and what you have told me. I certainly will appreciate any information that you or anyone else can help me with. What books about Randolph County are available? Is there documentation of John Moore's death, marriage to Sarah Ann McCauley, Sarah's other marriages, other children, etc.? Wow! I'm going to wear out my carpet doing the happy dance! Thanks, Ann!

Judy I just checked the Randolph County, AR marriages and found John E. Mcculley married Sarah A McCalley 1858 Book1 page o313 and Joseph A. Moore married Elizabeth E. Fowler 1880 Book5 Page 0172. The 1880 census shows Joseph A nephew and Ellen sister-in-law living in house with William T. McCalley Joseph being 19 and Ellen 18. This is Little Black Township. Have you tried the Randolph Co. Library? http://www.eootsweb.com/~aarand/ Happy hunting Freeda
