Son of Jacob Moore (my GG Grandfather) who was born in County Wicklow, Ireland and served as a volunteer in the Union Army; Company H 1st Regiment West Virginia Light Artillery under Captain James Holmes' command. Jacob enlisted on 25 Aug 1864 and was discharged on 9 May 1865, during that short time he certainly witnessed more than his share of history! On 28 Nov 1864, he was captured at the battle of New Creek, Virginia, force marched and confined as a prisoner of war at Pemberton House (an abandoned tobacco warehouse) in Richmond, VA on 7 Dec 1864, awaiting transfer to the infamous Andersonville prison. He was still in Richmond when it was burnt by fleeing Rebels and townsfolk just before being captured by the Union troops.
Discharged back to Wheeling, with a great deal of difficulty walking due to bi-lateral vericose veins, he lived there until he could no longer be cared for at home, he was moved to The National Soldiers Home for disabled volunteer soldiers in Hampton Roads, Elizabeth City, Virgina (a distance of at least 250 miles) where died on 12 Oct 1890. He was one of the first burials at the new National Cemetery at Hampton Roads, VA. that is filled with Union and Confederate soldiers.
His wife was Blandina Reich who immigrated from Wurtenberg, Germany during the time of great unrest and poverty there.
