Ray - I took a look at your site, but didn't see anything on Moore that might help me. It is interesting, though, that the names Townsley, Mayes, and Whitaker are also old Hays County TX names. And that's back when Buda's population was barely over 100! When I say Hays County, I mean Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos primarily. I don't think there are any Whitakers left in Buda, but there are some in Kyle -a cousin married one of them. I don't know about Townsley, either, but there is at least one Mayes - that being John Wayne Mayes, son of J. W. and Shirlene Satterwhite Mayes or at least, I saw John Wayne Mayes there about a year ago. And, there were Moore's in San Marcos, and in Dripping Springs. The one in Dripping Springs was a County Commissioner and was killed by Indians while he was horseback and on his way to a Court meeting in San Marcos. Thought I'd tell you this before I forget it. I learned long ago that there is just no guessing where useful information might come from, or just how we come to be in the right place at the right time. It may not be a coincidence that four of your names were located in the same area of TX. Buda is located about 15 miles South of Austin and about 60 miles North of San Antonio, off I-35. Betty B.
