Descendants of James Moore?




Researched and Compiled by Adina Watkins Dyer

First Generation



It is pure speculation at this time that the father of the Second Generation children was this James Moore.  Further research definitely needs to be done. If anyone can shed any light on this, PLEASE let me know!

1. James MOORE? was born on an unknown date and died on an unknown date.

General Notes:

From ""Newport and Vermillion Township...The First 100 Years" by HaroldO'Donnell" - pg. 118
Chapter: Cemeteries

"Walnut Hill Cemetery is quite small and, in the years before the Wabash Ordnance Plant bought the land, it was almost farmed out of existence. It has been known also as Little because of the pioneer CHARLES LITTLE family, who entered the land. It was later owned by John Fortune and last by Owen Downs. There is a large stone in the center of the plot erected to RACHEL LITTLE 1800-1881. There must be more LITTLE graves, but if so the stones are gone. There is a stone to JAMES MOORE 1774-1848, which means he was born two years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence."

One of Vermillion Township's most honored citizens, William L. Little, who held many positions of trust for whose family the Little schoolhouse was named, told of his grandfather, Charles S.
