Matthew A. and Henrietta (Huddlestone) Moore, natives of Alabama, moved to Wharton County, Texas, in 1852, and later to Fort Bend County. Matthew was a physician, practicing both in his native state and in Texas, and also interested himself in farming. A farm of 350 acres on Oyster creek, about four miles from Richmond, originally purchased by him, is now part of the extensive landed estate of Congressman Moore. On this family home stead, before the war, were employed numerous slaves, owned by Dr. Moore. The latter saw active service during the war, being one of the first to enlist, and fought at Shiloh and other hard battles before his health failed. His death occurred not long after the war, and his large property was badly managed during the minority of his children. His wife died July 3, 1887. Their children, five in number, including John M., were: Emma, who married John E. Newell; Lydia, deceased; Ada, who married Alexander Anderson; Etta, who married J. G. Pleasants.
