**From notes by Mrs. Dealie Moore.....
David Moore was a hardworking farmer, honest and religious. He enjoyed taking care of the company from the Church Associations.. They kept seventy-five one night, also fed their horses.

When the war came up he had started to build a house, just had one room completed when he had to go. It was built of large split logs, hewn smooth with split planks over the cracks. He made the shingles to cover it. His wife, Mary, the children , and sometimes a hired hand had to make out for three years until the war ended.

Nancy was born a few months after he left. He came by one time when they were close enough, the only time they saw each other during the three years.

He bought their home place, the Mack Smith place, the Lonnie Maddox place, and I think the Oscar Belk place.
