Hi, Alexander MOORE (AKA A. D. Moore) and wife Keziah came to the Whitesboro area in Grayson County shortly after1850. The first recorded bond that I found in his name in Grayson Co. was in 1852. I couldn't find them on the 1860 Census but I know they were there as there were many deeds recorded during this time. I did find them in the 1870 Census. The last deed that I found bearing both names was in 1874 and there was one bearing only his name in 1876. He is found, a widow, on the 1880 Census in Young County with the youngest two children; a son Hugh, age 18, and Benjamin, age 14. Their data: Alexander D. Moore b. 1814 VA, d. ? probably Young Co., TX Keziah (Barnett) b. 1825 MO, d. 1874-80 probably in Grayson Co., TX Daughter of Hugh Barnett III and Mary Cox) Children: Mary Ellen b. 1844 MO d. ? Helen Isabel b. 1847 MO d. ? Francis H. (f.) b. 1848 MO d. ? Charles Wm. b. 1849 MO d. ? - - BIG Gap -- (The 1860 Census data would sure help!) Hugh b. 1864 TX d. ? Benjamin Marion b. 1866 TX d. 1941 Sanger, CA (All birthplaces from Census data) Questions: 1. When did Keziah die? Where is she buried? 2. What happened to all the girls? 3. Were there other children born between 1849 and 1864? 4. Finally...What about Charles Wm.? There are indications that Charles Wm. married an "Elizabeth" (M.E.) and that he stayed in the area when his father and brothers moved to Young Co. Does anyone recognize this family?
