General Notes: Husband - James Moore

---

He was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, on his father's farm, and received a preliminary education at the primitive schools of the day. He intended to prepare for the ministry, but the death of his father changed his plans, making it impossible for him to finish the course which had been mapped out. However, he attended the West Liberty (West Virginia) Academy, and being an apt and intelligent student, acquired a considerable amount of information during the short time he remained in the school. After abandoning his former hopes he learned the trade of a millwright under B. Mayhall, assisting in building the old "Waugh Mill" of Brooke County, West Virginia.

For some time after his marriage he lived in Brooke County, West Virginia, at the home of Richard Waugh, where he superintended a "fulling-mill." In the spring of 1828 he purchased the "John Thom farm" in Independence township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, onto which he removed, and divided his time between farming and performing the work of a civil engineer, being very skillful and efficient in the latter vocation. He was naturally of a mechanical turn of mind, and was also a good financier and business manager. He was fond of reading, and was well informed on general topics. Politically he was a Democrat.
In the fall of 1892 his remains, with those of his son Richard, were removed from the old cemetery to the new one at Independence, where a monument is erected to their memory in the center of the four lots owned by William S. Moore.
