    1. [PACAMBRI] Moore Family (Bendon, Gainer, links)

    3. I have gotten my self into the weeds and I am hoping someone may be able to help me out.   I am researching Harry George MOORE (1894-1934) who married Beatrice Marie Myers.   As far as I have been told he was adopted by John Moore and Isabelle (Isabella, Bella Bendon)  I find John and Isabelle and the year of birth changes from census to census.  from John being around 1843 and Isabelle being closer to 1844-48  From the 1900 to the 1910 census for Tunnel Hill John goes from being 4 years older to 3 years younger than Isabelle.  In 1920 John is a year older.  (Still on Tunnel Hill.)    My Great Aunt (Harry's Daughter) still lives on Tunnel Hill and in speaking with her a few years ago she said that John and Isabelle had no other children.  But I stumbled upon a John R. Moore who seems to fit into the puzzle.  But he had a daughter Bertha Moore in 1876. He also had a number of brothers and sisters and I find some overlap but I am not sure if these are two different people.    As a follow up I was also told that Harry's birth parents were James Gainer and Sarah or "Sadie" She mentions that Sarah was married about 5 times, and it seems from my notes and the recording I took that her last names included Gainer, and it sounded like Crawford, and Weaver were two others.  (It was a quick laughing mention and I didn't realize at the time how important it would be -  Out of respect I didn't want to push on what used to be considered more family secrets)  At first I was told that James died by his own hand, but now it may be that it was some sort of accident. I have very few links or leads to go on.  I have searched Cambria and Indiana Counties, and don't see anything for them.  The only link maybe a Sarah Moore that would have been a niece of John and Isabella as it seems that family would take care of family, but other than seeing the name in the tree if I have the correct John Moore, it is nothing more than a guess.     If anyone has any overlap or insight into this, or even so additional avenues that may be work looking into I would greatly appreciate it.   Thank you,   James Clark
