Barbour, WV 1850 Federal Census
I have a photograph of Barbara Blankenship Anderson standing next to Alpheus and Lucinda's gravestone in Belington, WVA in 1993. Also standing beside the stone is an Elizabeth Moore, older than Barbara. She must be a younger sister to Albina...or a niece of Albina's. Nah...must be a niece. She looks about Mother's age....which would put her two generations away from Alpheus and Lucinda. (e-mail from Cindy Perry, Sept. 11, 2007)
========================================
Alpheus Moore has been a farmer, and still resides in Barbour County, where he is held in high respect. The Moore family was one of those who remained loyal to the Union during the war between the states, William Randolph Moore and his eldest son, Silas Moore, serving in the Federal army as soldiers. Therefore it was quite con- sistent that Alpheus Moore should be a life-long republican, as the principles of this party are in accord with the teach- ings he received in his boyhood and youth. He and his wife joined the Baptist Church in early life and have con- tinued to give it a generous support and to carry into their every-day lives the Christian virtues they have so long pro- fessed. They reared nine children to useful maturity, giv- ing them the benefit of a real home atmosphere, and in- culcated from the beginning of their understanding lessons of right living, and taught them habits of industry and thrift which will remain with them throughout their lives. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of early teaching. As a child is taught, so will the mature man act, and Doctor Moore and his brothers and sisters realize that they must attribute much of their present pros- perity and standing in their communities to the watchful care and earnest efforts of their noble Christian parents.
