List Members, Does anyone know the family history of the MOORE family in Blue Stocking Hollow? The Moore Chapel Cemetery would probably be named after this family. Some members of the old BLEDSOE family are also buried there. I believe I have also read that there was a church located there at one time. It seems that it may have been a Methodist Church. There are also two other cemeteries within the area. Bradshaw Cemetery is within a quarter mile of it and it was the site of the old Blue Stocking or New Providence Presbyterian Church. Also close on Sandusky Road is Evans Cemetery. In identifying the location of the cemeteries they are identified as being within a certain distance of Moore Chapel. Was Moore Chapel a community also or is this within distance of Moore Chapel Cemetery / Church? I would like to know more about the MOORE family, particularly J. H. MOORE and his wife Frances. Was her maiden name BLEDSOE? Thank you for your time? Bobby Prosser Dickson, TN. prossergenealogy@comcast.net www.chestnutridgecousins.org -------------------------------
Bobby, What was the J.H. Moore name? I think we have spoke about this before, but can't remember. My John Allen who was married to Nancy Carr or Karr, lived in 1840 Blue Stocking area. Their daughter Nancy Allen married Thomas Moore. Another daughter Mary S. Allen married Nathaniel White. From what I understand Nathaniel White and Robert Bradshaw gave the land for the Blue Stocking Hollow Presbyterian Church, which is the same as New Providence Presbyterian Church of Bedford County, Tenn. Thomas Moore's father was Randolf Moore and Elizabeth Stansill of Johnson Co, N.C. Their children were: Elizabeth, Stansill, Nathan, John, James, Thomas, Silpha, Celia, Rebecca and Piety. My Peterson Epps family went to the same church where he married Abegail Allen another daughter of John and Nancy Allen. Peterson and Abegail Epps had daughter Mary S. who married William M. Nichols, from the Moses Nichols line. Gay Nix prossergenealogy@comcast.net wrote: List Members, Does anyone know the family history of the MOORE family in Blue Stocking Hollow?
