He eventually moved to Smyth county near Saltville and is buried there. Census data from his later life indicates that his mother's name was Marth(a). I suspect that he is the son of David Moore and Martha Shelton or Samuel Moore and Martha Harry but I have not been able to confirm either to my satisfaction using census data. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
