He is NOT the son of James Walker Moore. He is the son of:
Andrew Moore
b.1780 Burke Co., NC [Burke Co. created 1777 from Rowan Co.]
d.1830 Gun Powder Creek, Burke, NC
and
Eleanor 'Nellie' Martin
b.1786 Burke Co., NC
d.17 Apr 1870 Caldwell County, NC. [created from Burke Co.]
Confusion as to where he was born could be found in searching the Orphan Strip & Walton County War.
John R Moore was said to be born in Asheville, Buncombe, NC. Buncombe County was created in 1791 from Burke County, NC. The land was disputed between Georgia & NC around 1803, but eventually became Walton Co., GA. in 1818. So, technically he was born in Buncombe Co., NC which is the jurisdiction when he was born 1812.
He m]Mary Worth & had Andrew 1843, Mary 1846, Elizabeth 1851, and John 1866.
According to the Estate Papers of James Walker Moore, Dr. John R Moore was his family's personal physician as they both lived in Gwinnett County, GA. This is probably why there is some confusion as to his relationship. According to the Moore DNA Website this Moore family does share DNA with the JWM family, but I'm not sure yet how. It doesn't seem to be through the Moore line.
Below is a comparison of JWM's daughter's births & John R Moore's birth.
JWM --Athelia Moore was born 9 Dec 1811 in SC
AM -----John R Moore was born 29 Aug 1812 at Burke Co., NC
JWM ---Madeline Moore was born 18 May 1813 in SC
Athelia's birth...8 months later John R is born...then another 8 months later & Madeline is born. Unlikely they would be born that close together.
