Descendants of Mordecai Ornduff Generation No. 1 1. MORDECAI ORNDUFF He married FRANCES UNKNOWN. Children of MORDECAI ORNDUFF and FRANCES UNKNOWN are: 2. i. JOSEPH S. ORNDUFF, b. May 16, 1818, Virginia; d. September 21, 1904. ii. THOMAS ORNDUFF, m. ANN ELIZA MOORE, September 14, 1854. iii. JAMES ORNDUFF. Notes for JAMES ORNDUFF: James is the gr gr grandfather of Chris Knoble who gave me a big start on my Ornduff branch. Generation No. 2 2. JOSEPH S. ORNDUFF (MORDECAI) was born May 16, 1818 in Virginia, and died September 21, 1904. He married (1) CATHERINE HARTSOCK Bef. 1844, daughter of UNKNOWN HARTSOCK. She was born 1815 in Virginia. He married (2) SUSANNAH EVELINE MOORE March 22, 1854, daughter of ARTHUR MOORE and ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. She was born February 20, 1820, and died August 23, 1916. Notes for JOSEPH S. ORNDUFF: Surname could be Orenduff/Ornduff/Arenduff/Arnduff or other variations. Received the following from Chris Knoble: According to their marriage record of 3/22/1854, Joseph (widow) was the son of Mordecai and Frances Ornduff and his wife was Susannah Eveline Moore, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Moore. Joseph's first wife was Catherine Hartsock. Anne E. Ornduff (b. 2/4/1854) must be Catherine's daughter since the birth date you have for her is before Joseph's marriage to Susannah. She is probably the Elizabeth listed in the 1860 census as being 7 yrs old, which fits with middle initial E. you have for Anne. Joseph's other children by Catherine are Jeremiah, John B., and Susan. Your great-grandmother Jennie Ornduff would then be half-sister to Anne and the other children mentioned above. I believe your Jennie is the one referred to in the 1870 census as Macaler J. Ornduff, age 10. The other children of Joseph and Susannah that I have found are: Larenia A. (b. 12/31/1857); Virginia E. (age 9 in 1870); and Alice E. (age 6 in 1870). Alice E. is most likely the Alice ORENDUFF who married your Nathan Moore in 1883. Joseph's brother Thomas married Susannah's sister Ann Eliza Moore 9/14/1854. One of his other brothers, James, is my great-great-grandfather. That makes us 4th cousins. Please contact me if you need anything else. Also, I would love to have other data you might have on Joseph's descendants or any other ORNDUFFs. Chris Knoble Clifton, VA Isaac Hartsock and his family are in the 1850 Washington Co., VA Census living with Joseph and Catherine Oinduff. I am assuming he is a brother of Catherine since her maiden name is Hartsock. More About JOSEPH S.

MOORE: In the 1910 Census for Sullivan County he was listed as being born in VA. and his age was 58. Mother & father listed as being born in VA. Married 21 years. Occupation listed as Wagon Driver. In the "Sullivan County Tennessee Marriage Records 1863-1893" as transcribed by Shelia Hunt, There are two Nathan Moores. One Nathan T. Moore married Alice Orenduff on 9 Oct. 1883. The other Nathan Moore married Jennie Arenduff on 26 Dec.1888. The latter matches with the 1910 Census. I assume both Nathans are the same person.. Generation No. 3 3. MACALER JENNIE ORNDUFF (JOSEPH S., MORDECAI) was born Abt. 1862 in VA, and died Abt. 1925 in Bristol, Sullivan County, TN. She married NATHAN T. MOORE December 26, 1888 in Sullivan County, Tennessee. He was born Abt. 1852 in VA, and died Abt. 1900 in Bristol, Sullivan County, TN. Notes for MACALER JENNIE ORNDUFF: In the 1910 Census for Sullivan County I could not make out her name, it did not look like "Alice" though and it could have been "Jennie". She was listed as being born in VA. and her age was 48. She was the mother of 7 children with 6 living. There are 6 listed in the census, Claude may not have been born yet. Mother & father listed as being born in VA. I believe her surname is Ornduff and not Arenduff as transcribed In the "Sullivan County Tennessee Marriage Records 1863-1893" by Shelia Hunt and on their record of marriage at the County Clerks Office. 11/12/1999 Ray C. Moore Jr., s/o Ray Moore, s/o Nathan Moore, 401 Poplar St. Bristol, TN, said that Anne Landrum, buried in East Hill Cemetery, is the sister of Jennie Ornduff.

South, Jr., Bristol, TN, called me today and said that his 1st cousin Virginia (Blevins, Moore) Wyatt called him and relayed family bible data that she had copied before sending the bible to another cousin in Philadelphia, PA. Here's what is in it: Their grandfather is Nathan T. Moore died 10 May 1917, no date of birth. Their grandmother is Jennie Ornduff, no birth or death dates. Jennie's sister is Anne E.
