Moore in my database file of people who worked at Oakdale Cotton Mill in Jamestown, N.C. This Wm. Moore was born about 1825 and was employed as working here at Oakdale in the 1870 census records. I think that this Wm. Moore who worked at Oakdale, may have been your Wm. Moore's father. I found Wm. Moore living in Guilford Co., North Carolina. Wm. was age 45, his wife was Adeline and she was 36, they had three children, Martin, age 15, who also worked in the mill and Cyrus? age 14,and a William, Jr. who was age 7. They also had a man named Adam Ward who was age 17, who, also worked in the mill. Your Wm. was born about 1823, but, I have had not any luck in finding out if and he ever did work in the cotton mill. Best of Luck, Bryson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
