  [S100] Internet Source, http://www.hearthstonelegacy.com/william-a-moore-genealogy-jefferson-county-tennessee.htm. William A. Moore was born in Jefferson County, Tenn., near the French Broad River, December 25, 1815. He is the son of Elijah and Mary (McClanahan) Moore. The father was born in Mecklenburgh County, N. C, in March, 1792. At the age of seven his father brought him to Tennessee, where he gave him his early training on the farm. The father of our subject was a farmer and stock raiser. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and later a captain in the State militia. He died at his home in Jefferson County, Tenn., at the age of forty-one, in 1834. The mother of our subject was a native of Jefferson County, Tenn., born in 1794, and died in 1859, at the age of sixty-five. Our subject is one of a family of five brothers and one sister, and is the eldest. He was reared on the farm, and received such an education as his county could give. His father died when he was eighteen, and he took charge of the home farm, and thus began his occupation which he has followed all his life. On February 8, 1838, he was united in marriage with M. J. W. Rodgers, born May 16, 1819, and died August 24, 1854. To this marriage were born two sons and one daughter?one died in infancy, and the two yet living are Thomas E., born April 2, 1845, and Sarah I., born March 1, 1851. November 14, 1855, our subject married for a second wife Margaret A. Cowan. To this wife were born Andrew C, born July 6, 1858; Lucy D., born February 22, 1860; William A., born June 25, 1866. September 1, 1869, the son, Thomas E. Moore, was united in marriage with Martha E. Houston, and Sarah I. Moore was united in marriage with Robert A. Lyle, March 14, 1871. Our subject, at the time of his first marriage, had very limited means with which to farm, but by energy and skillful management he has been a successful farmer and business man. He has had many obstacles to contend with. He has been a friend to many, and has often involved himself greatly to favor others. He has ever been enterprising, and manifested an untiring energy. He has been a Christian man since early life, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is a Past Grand Master Mason. Our subject, before the war, had accumulated considerable wealth, but the war reduced him very much. Since the war he has been financially successful, and he is now one of the ablest men of his county, and is still an active and thorough farmer. [S160] Correspondence. Elizabeth Stein Hi Mary Frances, Thank you for your reply. I'm working on a currently unpublished tree on Ancestry.com My father did a lot of research before his untimely death in 1989, mostly on our Taylor line. My ancestor on your site that I can give you more information on is Mary (Polly) McClanahan (8 Feb 1795-4 Apr 1859--buried at McCorkle cemetery, Taylor's Bend, Jefferson County, Tennessee) who married Elisha Moore (1793-1834). Their daughter Sarah Ann Moore (1824-1893) married Parmenas Taylor (1821-1893), and their son Hugh Lawson White Taylor (1852-1928) was my second great-grandfather. As I said, my father did the most work on the Taylor line, which he traced back from Parmenas (1821-1893) to Willis (1798-1859) to Col. Parmenas (1753-1827) to William (c. 1730-1760) to Aaron (died before 1751) to Lazarus (b. 1667) to the immigrant John Taylor (born about 1627 in England-1702). John Taylor married Alice Gaskins, whose father Thomas Gaskins is included in Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia 1607-1624/5 (John Frederick Dorman, ed.). I don't think we share any DNA, but we definitely share some lines on our family trees! [S38] Headstone, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/62867531?search=true.
