I'm looking for the children of Jesse C. Moore. He was born in 1797 in NC, died March 6, 1859 and was buried at Cumberland Shed Cemetery. Jesse first appears in the 1840 Census for Polk Co. TN. Does anyone have an index of the 1830 census to see if Jesse is there? I know birth and death records and wills etc. are sparse prior to the Civil War, but I wondered if there are any land records from the time before the Civil War. I believe my gg-grandfather, George (or Governor) Washington Moore, who is also buried at Cumberland Shed might be Jesse's son. Thanks for your help. Kay E.
