Notes:

Hi James and Michael,
I have often wondered if Lemeul Moore was married to a Biddy Brasfield. In
a book of Wake County Marriage 1770-1868 there are 3 Lemuel Moore's listed.
Page 211.

Moore, Lemuel an Elizabeth Warren 6 Jan 1823; Isaac Dawson, bm
Moore Lemuel W. and Biddy Brasfield, 21 Jan 1815: John K. Moore, bm

I am guessing but I think bm may mean best man.

The other Lemuel Moore was married 16 Oct 1851 to a Mary Ann Wadford, I
thought this date was way to late.

What is interesting to me about this is: Lemuel Moore has a 2
ggrandaughter, Nancy Ada Brooks and guess what she went by? Biddy!!
I have always wondered if she got the nickname from the Biddy Brasfield.
Where would Biddy come from Nancy Ada?? Aunt Biddy lived in Louisiana, I
got to meet her once, she died in 1996.

I am not going to put him with her though until I have absolute proof.

Things are looking like we might be getting a little closer. Let me know
what you think.

Rhonda McDonald Redding
4th ggrandaughter of Lemuel Moore

J.W.Moore(?) -

Most of the information that I have posted originally came from the 1959
book "Brasfield-Brassfield Genealogies" by Annabelle McAllister on page 200.

"Beddy Brasfield, married ____ Moon (or Moore), before 1817. Received
bequest in will of Wm. Parsons. Biddy Brasfield and Lemuel W. Moore,
Marriage Bond, Jan. 2, 1815, Wake Co., N.C.; John K. Moore, bondsman."

The refinements on the website came from various genealogy files on the
internet. My birth date for Moore (abt. 1795) was only my estimate,
assuming he was at least 20 when he married. More than likely he was older
than that, which would correspond with your date of 1785. Although that is
the sum and substance of my information, it would seem likely that they are
one and the same, possibly an earlier marriage that produced Allen Moore?

Have you been in touch with James W Moore who decends from Hardy Lemuel Moore? His email is jwmoore@ipa.net. He feels that Hardy Lemuel Moore is a son of Matthew Moore of Cumberland Co.NC, but I have been in touch with another Hardy Moore who is Matthew Moore's son. Hardy Lemuel could be the son of one of Matthew Moore's brothers, William, John, or James. Just thought I would lpass this information along.
