He was born in Claysville, Webster County KY on 10/4/1885. His parents were "Dock" Moore (born in Kentucky) and Mary Willbright (born in Tennessee). Due my grandparents lack of education, accents and lack of contact with his mother, I believe the true spelling could have been lost. The Bible lists Mary as having a brother and sister, Jesse and Anghline. The spelling of the sister's name made me think that they were of German ancestry. "Dock" has a brother and sister listed Harve and Ann. "Dock" could have been a nickname - but rumor has it that he was a doctor and she was a missionary to the indians - or vice versa - who knows at this point. Mary was supposedly married twice and after the death of her second Moore husband she joined a wagon train, left Kentucky with her young son and moved to Northeast Missouri. We believe she died in or around Senath MO. John Ira was supposedly an only child - but the family Bible lists one brother Harve E and three sisters Fannie, Cora and Evaline. Also listed are Fannie's two children Nathan and Pearl. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there. I would appreciate any assistance. This branch of the tree just dropped off. Thank you.
