Hello Melissa....
I am so sorry. I was writing so fast I mispelled his name.
SAMUEL HOWARD
MOOR. I did write it correctly in the subject line. I also
wrote you back
and gave you the page number I found it on: page 21649 of your GEDCOM
file
last uploaded April 28, 1998. Mary Elizabeth DEAL married
Daniel Howard
MOOR. Daniel Howard MOOR does not appear in your files because
you don't
have him there. But he was the brother of Jeff Davis MOOR, who
you do have
on your page. I apologize for not being clear enough on this.
Some of
what I do have on the MOOR family I sent you. Jeff Davis MOOR
had other
siblings whom you do not have listed. You do have Altha (I have
her as
Althea) and Mollie.
I have alot of info from the MOOR family's stay in Kansas and Missouri.
Below is the part of my original message to you stating that Daniel
Howard
MOOR, along with your Jeff Davis MOOR, was the son of Samuel Howard
MOOR.
Your gedcom file has Samuel Howard MOOR as married to Mary Karrot or
Karot.
I"d be happy to share what I have with you. This is the first
time I've
run into anyone with information on the Moor family.
Once again my apologies for my lack of clarity... I get a bit too excited
about genealogy sometimes and running into your MOOR information definitely
got my wheels running.
