"Elias Moore died in 1839 and for many years rested in an unmarked grave. When in May, 1887, John Hill had some building done in the rear of his house, No. 124 Main street, in Davenport, laborers excavating the ground came upon a tombstone about two feet below the surface of the ground. It was a plain marble slab and bore the inscription, "Elias Moore, died July 12th, 1839, age 53 years, 1 month and 13 days." Some supposed that there had been a burial ground in pioneer time, although none of the old settlers could remember such a fact. On the following day Mr. James Burnside came to town and hearing of the find stated that Elias Moore lived just below Rockingham, and was a neighbor of his in 1836 and later. After Moore's death an agent for a marble cutting firm in Ft. Madison came up and took orders for tombstones all through this region. The grave stones were brought here by steamboat. It was likely that Moore's never was called for, and in time it was taken from the steamer landing to the garden which occupied the whole space now occupied by the St. James hotel and the First National Bank, where a cottage stood. It was left there to sink and be covered with the accretions of many years to come. Elias Moore was born near Crawforsville, Ind.[was mostly likely born in NJ], and died from injuries received from a horse falling on him."
Elias is the son of Gershom Moore and Anna Liston Moore. In his widow's application for a pension for the War of 1812 from the National Archives in Washington, Elias's brother Lewis makes the following affidavit:
" I Lewis Moore of Butler County Ohio aged 77 years in August next…declare that I was the Ensign who served in said Company of Daniel Heaton from said March 27 to Sept (?) 1813- and that I know that the forgoing declaration is true, that the said Elias Moore was my brother and that he served as stated in the forgoing declaration…Lewis Moore"
Elias is believed to have been born in New Jersey and may have lived in Pennsylvania and Mason Co, Kentucky as a child. He was married in Trenton, Butler County, Ohio April 15, 1813, and lived in both Sullivan County and Montgomery County, Indiana, then helped to found Sugar Grove, Mercer County, Illinois and then finally settled in Scott County, Iowa, where he died.
Elias was my 4x great grandfather. Please contact me if you are descended from him as well--JJ Turner [email protected]
