Aug. 20, 1895 Barry Co., MO |
SSW: Isaac Watts - Inscription: "His Wife" - Research Note: Daughter of Nathaniel Moore and Mary Charles. Isaac W. Thorn married Nancy E. Moore on Feb. 3, 1853 in Appanoose Co., IA. - In the 1840 Census, Davidson Co., NC - The female age 5-10 I believe to be Nancy E. Moore my great grandmother who was living with her grandparents . In Eli Moore's will in 1847 he mentions a granddaughter Nancy Moore which he left $5 to her for his kindness toward her. No other grandchild was mentioned in his will. 1850 Can not find Nancy in Census as Nancy E. Moore in Iowa or North Carolina. She appears in Iowa in 1853 when she marries Isaac Watts Thorn in Nathaniel Moore's home in Appanoose Co Iowa. I believe she traveled from Davidson Co., North Carolina to Iowa with Nathaniel Moore, her father, and her uncle Joseph Moore and his two daughters Nancy and Sarah Moore. Nathaniel had been in Iowa since 1848 at the time he married Elender Elam-Blaylock. His brother John Moore also had traveled with him to Iowa in 1848 and married Elender's sister Mary Elam. In 1851 Nathaniel then returned to Davidson Co., N C to sell 57 acres of land owned by John and Mary Moore and Nathaniel Moore to Alfred Hayworth. Then in 1852 Nathaniel loaded up the family and other relatives and headed northwest to Iowa. A familiar trail that he had traveled at least once before. - Another Photo - Another Photo | Family History Photos Elmer Thorn IA Marriage Index Phyllis Long Photo Ted Roller |
