Tim, If you are seeking to nail down your Moore ancestral land, definitely spend some time in the courthouse getting copies of the deeds of your ancestors buying/selling land. And BEFORE YOU GO TO GREENVILLE, find copies of the Abstracts to Pitt County Deeds in a local library and look up your ancestors in the index and make a list of all deeds they are mentioned in, so when you get to the courthouse you will already know which deeds you want to copy. Since so many other records were destroyed in courthouse fires in Pitt, sometimes the information in the deeds is the ONLY documentation left, so it is especially important to use the deeds to figure out genealogical questions regarding Pitt Co. families. Margaret Hoffmann's Short Intro Course on NC County Records book I have found very helpful in teaching how to use deeds and other courthouse records, if you are new to this area of research. Also, I have a potential Margaret (possibly MOORE?) b. circa 1775-d.Aft. 06 Jun 1837 married William KNOX b.circa 1765-d. June 1837, and I think their son was the Reddick KNOX, who moved to GA from Pitt Co., mentioned below. Would be very interested in hearing from anyone who can establish ties with this Margaret (MOORE?). SOURCE: Pioneers of Wire Grass GA..Folkes Huxford states that Caleb Moore was born in Pitt/Beaufort county, NC in 1760, the son of John Moore and a brother of Moses Moore. He is also thought to be a brother of Cason Moore. Caleb Moore m. Unicy Briley b. 1765, the daughter of Solomon & Betsy Tyson Briley. NOTE: On October 4, 1822 Wayne County, Georgia, Unicy Moore issued a document that Lovey Noble, Elizabeth Raulerson, John Moore, Benjamin Moore and William Moore were all heirs of her husband Caleb Moore, deceased. It gave Reddick Knox, power of attorney, to collect all monies due them from the estate of John Moore, deceased of Pitt county which was in the hands of Moses Moore, Administrator. (this is also recorded on a deed in Pitt Co.)
