I'm allowing my cousin Millie Moore to make a bio for Achsah because I believe it is her place to do so. She is best fit to write something about Achsah. Millie's father Cheston John Moore I was Achsah's grandson.Cheston was born in 1891 and spoke of his grandmother often. He was an adult when she passed so he knew a lot about her. Thankfully Millie listened to what her father told her and has passed so much information on to all of us.

Millie is her families historian and has collected so much information on her family over the course of her life. Thankfully we still have Millie to learn from. Almost everything recorded on ancestry.com about the Moore family line from Burlington county, NJ can be credited to Millie.

I have only been working on my family history for about 3 years now but I have taken a special shining to Achsah Moore from everything I have learned about her. She was a strong woman. A very caring person who was admired by probably everybody who knew her and especially her 13 children. My great-great-grandfather Andrew J. Parks Sr was Achsah's next door neighbor in 1910 according to the census. His son Wilbert (and my great-grandfather) married Achsah's granddaughter Mary Ann Moore in the year 1898. I'm positive that our families connections started long before Wilbert Married Mary Ann. I feel strongly that the Moore family helped my g-g-grandfather Andrew fit in after Andrew deserted the confederate army during the Civil War and left Georgia for good to start our family line in Burlington County, NJ.

My Parks family is a strange kind of family. My grandfather paul (son of Wilbert and Mary) kept to himself and really never introduced my father or us to his mothers people. I sometimes feel like we missed out on a lot but thankfully I found my cousin Millie and she kindly took me under her wing and taught me a lot about the family that I never knew. I consider myself to be a spiritual type of person and somehow think that my family that lived in Burlington County, NJ so long before I did had a little something to do with connecting me to Millie so that I could learn more about the family other than the things that you learn from newspapers and public records.

I anxiously look forward to Millie's biography for Achsah's memorial. I know it will be most fitting. She is preoccupied for the time with other commitments but I promise it will be worth the wait.

Achsah if I could choose just 1 person to bring back from the great beyond and learn from, It would be you. I was born too late to know you but I certainly admire everything about you that I have learned and I believe that everything we do that is considered to be positive was a trait that you passed on to us.
