Hi Bill and Ann, I'm researching Bell County Moores as well: Bedford (BF) Moore who married Texana Powers around 1880, and lived in the Holland, TX, Bell County area. They had a daughter who married Israel Cockrum. Bedford was killed digging a water well over by Granger- in the 1910-1920 period- he hit a gas pocket- He had several brothers: Homer, Gene, Claude and Curtis- Thanks!
