The paternal ancestors of Mr. Moore came to America from Dalkeith, Scotland, the first settler being Samuel Moore, who lived in New Jersey as early as 1760. Evidence is given that the family later moved across the line to Pennsylvania, as family records show that in 1814, David Moore, son of Samuel, moved to Ross County, Ohio, from Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The Moores came to Sandusky County in 1818 and David Moore built a log cabin on the west side of the Sandusky River, about half a mile southwest of the village of Ballville. He was one of the enterprising men of the time and place, for he built a saw-mill and also a grist-mill. both very necessary conveniences for the pioneers. His death was caused by falling in his mill, December 24, 1829. He had married Elizabeth Davis, who died July 1, 1826. Their children were George, James, John, Mrs. Eliza Justice, and Mrs. Sarah Fields. All came to live in Sandusky County, but George subsequently returned to Ross
County, where he died in 1850. John Moore was a miller at Ballville for many years and died there in 1876.

James Moore. (father of Charles) was born in 1809, in Huntingdon County. Pennsylvania, and accompanied his father to Ross County and later to Sandusky County. He assisted in the mill and after his father's accidental death, he conducted it for a number of years. He was a man of sterling character and of great enterprise and public spirit. He contributed largely to the construction of the Fremont and Fostoria Plank Road. realizing the great importance of this highway, and also to the building of the Lake Erie & Louisville, now
the Lake Erie & Western Railroad. During the Civil War he was liberal in his contributions to assist in putting down the Rebellion and was particularly interested in the noble charity which established permanent help for the widows and orphans of soldiers. James Moore died December 6, 1873, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery. In 1832 he married Harriet Patterson. who was born May 17, 1810. at Syracuse, New York. She was a daughter of Reuben and Eunice (Danforth) Patterson. Harriet Patterson Moore was but six years old when her parents came from New York to Sandusky County in 1816. She was remarkably active in mind and body, very intelligent, charitable and self-sacrificing wife and mother, and lived a long life of good deeds. She died in her eighty-ninth year.

To James Moore and wife were born the following children: Orvin, born January 1,1833. Little Orvin drowned in the Sandusky River in 1838: Juliette. married William Rice, a merchant of Fremont in 1858: Leroy born December 28,1836. Leroy married Mary J. Dawley in 1869 and died July 20, 1888; Celiette, born January 16. 1838, and died July 11, 1854; Manville, born in 1842. He was wounded at the battle of Gettvsburg and died from the wounds received July 12,1863; Charles T. is the subject of this sketch; Celia Fisher, born in 1848; and Oriette Speller, born in
1850.

Ballville Township. Mr. Moore married Miss Jennie M. Huber, daughter of Lewis and Mary Jane (Fleming) Huber, of Pleasant Plains, Illinois.

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Moore were three in number;
Julia, Huber, and Mabel. Little Mabel died when one year old. Mr. Moore took no very active interest in politics, but all members of his family have been good citizens and promoters of all that tends to contribute to the general welfare.
