General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Moore
He was the last of his siblings to marry, on account of remaining at home to care for his aged and feeble mother. In 1846 he removed to the old Blackstone farm in Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. His wife had an inherited interest in the farm, and he bought the interests of the other heirs and added to the farm by purchase one hundred and fifty acres of adjoining land. These two farms were heavily underlaid with coal, and it was here that the coke interests were started which were developed by his two younger sons, J. W. and P. H. Moore.
Ebenezer Moore was six feet in height and weighed one hundred and ninety pounds. He had a strong frame and a large, well-shaped head. He kept his face smoothly shaved, was always genteel and respectable in appearance and was a fine-looking man. Better than this, he was a man of sterling integrity, was strictly honest, fair in his transactions, and was a man of great kindness of heart, while his tenderness of feeling was one of his distinguished characteristics. His attachments to his home and family were very strong and he loved them with the greatest devotion. As a business man, he at times appeared rigid, though always just, and seldom made mistakes. He was modest, unassuming, possessed a high regard for men, and was a member of the Presbyterian church in which he was twice chosen elder. He did not accept, however, on account of his lack of self-confidence, yet he had mental power that with more self-assurance, would have given him a high position in the church. Withal he loved to converse on Christian topics, and at his home ministers of the gospel were often found, who were always welcome, and he loved their society. In politics he was a democrat and was positive in his faith. He was an intelligent reader and took a deep interest in the passing events of his time. He conversed with great earnestness upon the political as well as upon religious issues of his day. In 1844 he represented Westmoreland County in the Legislature, and it is an interesting fact that he received all the votes except five that were cast in his own township.
He represented Westmoreland County in the Pennsylvania State Legislature of 1844, and it is a commentary upon his popularity that he received every vote with the exception of five cast in his own township.
