OK my greatgrandmother was Nancy L Moore daughter of John W. Moore and Mary Susan Etheridge. The is my Moore line if anyone can help with this I would be grateful..
John W. Moore son of
Joab Moore and Martha Price daughter of Joel Price and Nancy Evans daughter of Abraham Evans
Joab Moore son of Theophilus Moore and Milly Robbins
Theophilus Moore son of Elijah Moore and Mary Sessums daughter of Culmer Sessums and Elizabeth..Culmer son of Nicholas Sessums and Rachel Sizemore..Nicholas son of Thomas Sessoms and Elizabeth Smith
Elijah Moore son of James Moore and Ann Ruffin
James Moore son of Joseph Moore and Ann Hodges
Joesph Moore son of Edward of Bertie County along the Cashie River wife unknown.
I’ve been told this is a family of mixed bloods what to you all think?
Just curious folks not having an identity crisis LOL :rolleyes:
LOL…yep, them Moores are a different bunch. Ken and I both have Person county Moores…I would have to pull up my research, but, I am sure some of it is still on here. Yep, they were mixed bloods although there are many people in our county that would not want to acknowledge that fact. But, you can’t change history, nor would I want to, necessarily. They were well respected and hard workers.
this is all the “whispers” I have heard in my Moore lines
Joel Price and Nancy Evans…well Price Saponi Evans Tuscarora
then there is the Robbins who descend from the Battle, Hunter, Bearse line and whispers of Narragansetts here
Then the Sessums were called to court in Bertie County to prove they were “white” LOL
Then the Etheridges have indian stories all over the place in this family….one of the Etheridges in Wilson County (our neck of the woods) has been fighting with the gov’t about his rights as a descendent of the Tuscarora Indians.
As you can see my Moore line is crazy full of indian stories and when I told my family I was going to look for the source of all the stories i was told to look at the Moores and Etheridges…will the Moores I can track the Etheridges (especially the wives) are very hard to track. My great grandmother Nancy L. Moore is said to have been nearly a full blood indian… her father a Moore her mother a Etheridge…. I have a lot of info about my gggrandfather John W. Moore and he was one heck of a man fought with Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg and managed the Poor House in Wilson for the poor infirm of the county. This is a real hard working family.
