I do not know if this Loudoun Co, VA list has heard the sad news about Bob Moore, the Genealogist, in Lexington, KY who passed away on May 27, 2005. He worked with so many of the families that were from VA and migrated to KY and always willing to take time to help everyone. If this list has not received the information, look below and you can read his nice obituary As many of you know, Robert Moore is also the man who wrote the great book BLOOMFIELD, CHAPLIN AND FAIRFIELD (KY) A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF NORTHEASTERN NELSON CO, KY. See below my email to the Nelson KY list.

I downloaded my emails and noticed subject Robert Moore and looked at it. Like everyone, I was deeply grieved to find out that Bob had passed away and tears ran down my face. He was such a good and kind man, a wonderful Genealogist that went out of his way to help everyone with ancestors in Virginia and Kentucky. We, too, had never met, but I was hoping for that opportunity this summer as he wanted to get over to Madisonville, KY to look for some more information on the Porter family. We met on the internet over a year ago when I sent in an inquiry about my ggg grandfather Philip Porter b abt 1754 in VA and wife Nancy Ann Brent from Virginia that migrated to Shelby Co, KY, and later to Spencer Co, KY. Some of Philip Porter's children lived around Bloomfield and one was written up in his marvelous book about Bloomfield, KY which I am so happy to have. He helped me immensely with new information on the Duncan, Peyton, Russell, and Porter families that gave me so many clues to maybe one day to be able to find Philip's parents in Virginia. We also found out with sharing that we were cousins through the Vowels and Hutchins families. Bob told me about his struggle with cancer, and my prayers went out for him daily. He was such a positive man, and felt that he had beaten the cancer, never complained, and never stopped helping everyone with the vast knowledge that he had about VA, and KY and all the families. It was just a few weeks ago, that I got his last email verifying some information that I had sent on the Porter Family. My sincere sympathy goes to his wife, Ann, which he talked about lovingly. We will all miss Bob Moore, each in our own way, and miss all his emails with a history lesson in many of them. May he rest in peace.
