Hi Philip and Bunny, Yes, Philip, yet another common name! I have Wallace A. Moore in my files as well, though I don't know if I am related to him or not. I have two Moore lines in western NC, and so I'm working on all the Moores in that area (there were a bunch of them!). First, thanks Philip, I didn't have Wallace's parents names. I knew he was from Lincoln County, but didn't track him prior to him arriving in Macon County (ca 1836). He was listed on the 1840, 1850 and 1860 macon Co, NC census, and in Towns Co, GA in 1870 and 1880. I have a Moore web site with genealogies for several Moore families, including my two ancestral lines, plus several others lines that may or may not be of interest. I've got a page for Wallace also. The address is below. Let me know how I can help (Bunny, I'm adding your name to the Researcher list for Wallace). Talk to y'all later. Marty Grant - (Marvin A.
