Notes for William R. Moore
Note by Lavon Page (10 Oct 2007)
William Moore is the maternal grandfather of Albina Moore. Papers handed down from Inez May Perry Blankenship state that Alpheus Moore is born of the marriage between William Moore and Catherine Price. But none of Inez May’s information mentions a second wife for William following Catherine’s death at age 34 in 1854. (William lived an additional 53 years after Catherine’s death.)
The Chenoweth genealogy at the web site shown below includes the following note which not only exhibits a second marriage for William but also illustrates the division of families by the Civil War in western Virginia. Indeed, it was this division that led to the creation of the state of West Virginia: West Virginia broke away from Virginia during the American Civil War and was admitted to the Union as a separate state on June 20, 1863 (an anniversary now celebrated as West Virginia Day in the state). It is the only state formed as a direct result of the American Civil War. It is the only state to form by seceding from a pre-existing state - Wikipedia

(Excerpt from http://www.chenowethsite.com/ch1jw2w1.htm )
Jasper was the fourth child, but the first son of Ruth Chenoweth and Absolem Kelley. He died at age 27 near Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia, fighting for the North during the Civil War. Jasper had 2 other Kelley brothers in Union Army at the time, while most of his Randolph County Chenoweth cousins were fighting for the South. He was born in Randolph County, Virginia, now West Virginia and spent his entire short life there, except for his service in the war. He married Deborah Moore when he was about 20, and they had three young children at the time of his death. Deborah was the daughter of Samuel Moore and Elizabeth Right. Her brother William had married Jasper's sister Lucinda. Deborah died September 25, 1910 in neighboring Barbour County. Many of the descendants of this family still live in Randolph Co.
There can be no doubt that the “William Moore” referred to here is the same William Moore who married Catherine Price. Dates as well as names of parents match.
