Daniel and William and Sarah Moore Beck moved out of Westmoreland prior to the Civil War. Daniel and William went to Illinois and both enlisted in the CW in IL. Sarah lived in Wisconsin until the Civil War where her under-aged son enlisted, then the Beck family moved to Lancaster Co., NE. Alex, George, and Neil moved from Westmoreland Co. after the Civil War. Alex to several places, ending up in McGregor, IA. George in Clinton, IL. Neil in Elgin, IA. The other siblings remained in Westmoreland. Margaret, Sam, Koon, Jim. Margaret's husband, Jim Brown, also served in the CW as a ship's carpenter. So only those states mentioned for Johannes' children would have any Moore connection until the later generations, when Johannes' grandchildren and great grandchildren began to scatter. Even then, they migrated across the northern states, .Exception was the child veteran, John Conrad Beck, who went to Oklahoma I also have Civil War applications for pension and widow's pension for these people, that tracked their movements, so I'm very sure of my MOORE's migration trails.
