Listers, i'm a MOORE-MAYES decendent. my brickwall is great gramp's JACK MOORE. all we have is he was from TX. but we doubt that. there was bad blood as a result of his leaving the family of 6 kids. the kids grew up saying their mom was NANCY MAYES. 1 son HOUSTON MOORE of KNOXVILLE says NANCY was b. in RAY Co.MO. the only 1 i've found is the 1 in my home county of CLAIBORNE Co.TN. we pretty much except her. now why post in GIBSON?. ok in my MAYES info is the marriage of RICHARD MOORE to ELIZABETH MAYES in GRAINGER Co. my MAYES main TN County is GRAINGER.
