Question

do you have acess to Henry C. moore's wife name and children names?

Answer 1

1850 US Census: Liberty, Clay Co., MO with father James and James' wife Frances (not Catherine). Also with siblings as on the profile, except that brother Zachariah was born 1848, not 1825 as claimed in the wikitree profile.

1860 US Census: He's 17, as Henry Moore (without middle initial) with father and father's wife Catherine, and many other siblings. In Dardenne, St. Charles, MO

1870 US Census: Not sure where they are, but most of the Moores in Dardenne are enumerated as More. I think James is enumerated as John D. 67 with wife Catherine. No Henry with them. 

1880 US Census: There is a 35-year-old Henry identified as son, living in the house of D. James and Catherine Moore in Dardenne, St. Charles, MO. Enumerated immediately below him is Emilie Moore, 29, "daughter" also married. Note: not "daughter-in-law". There then follow a number of very young males identified as sons of James but who seem to be too young to be James' and Catherine's children-- both of whom are 77. More likely these are the children of Henry C and Emilie Moore, mis-recorded as the children of their grandparents; they are:

1. Alando, m, 11
2. Charles, m, 9
3. W. Edmund, m, 8
4. William N., m, 4
5. Selaste?, m, 1

Running out of steam. Maybe someone else can check 1900.

did a quick search of familysearch.org and it looks like after 1880 Henry C moved to Visalia, California. Wife Amelia (a variation of Emeline).

Thank you Jillaine!  I have opened the privacy for anyone that wishes to contribute to Henry C. Moore.

I will check and see if I have any more information on this family.

I've been doing on-line research this afternoon, so I have been to many web sites, including Ancestry.com and familysearch.org.  

While I don't have proof of this information, this is what my information looks like at this point in time.

James Duke Moore, son of Zachariah Moore and Alice Elsie Bourne, was born on Mar 15, 1802 and christened on Oct 16, 1803 in Harmony, Woodford, Kentucky.

On April 4 1821, he married Catherine Ward, the daugher of William Ward and Catherine Fraser.  Catherine Ward was born in Jan 31 1802 in Bedford C., Bedford, PA.  

This list of their children comes from Ancestry.com.

1. Mary Jane Moore, 1822-1823.  

2. Zachariah Moore, 1825-?  (It was the custom to name the first son after his grandfather.)

3. Joseph Ward Moore, 1826-1859.

4. Eliza Jane Moore, 1829-?

5. Sarah Y, born April 19, 1833 in MO

6. William W, 1835

7. James Duke Moore, Jr., 1839-1905

8. Henry C., Feb 17, 1843, St Charles Co., MO

 

Catherine Ward Moore died on August 1, 1892 in St. Charles Co., MO.  James Duke Moore died on May 19, 1896 and is buried in Old Dardenne Cemetery in St. Charles Co., MO.

The 1860 US Census lists a Zachariah B Moore living in the 5th Ward of the City of St. Louis.  His household includes Margaret, age 32 (his wife), Josephene C Moore, age 4 (their daughter), plus two young women from Germany, Margaret Horseman, age 15 and Lizzie Hurst, age 17.  There is also an older woman, Margaret Balridge, age 75 from Kentucky.  (Could she be the mother or aunt of Margaret?)  Plus 17 year old Henry C Moore.  If Henry was born in 1843, he would have been 17 in 1860.  

After this point, it gets more confusing.  The 1900 US Census lists two men named Henry C Moore living in MO, neither one with the correct birthdate.  And I'm not sure if either of them are the Henry C Moore we are looking for.  

I think this profile needs some more work.  I think Henry is with his brother in St. Louis by 1860.  Would he have been counted twice?  Once with his parents and again with his brother?  

We will need to continue working on this one.

More information on the Moore family.  Ancestry.com does have sources for the following information about Zachariah Bell Moore.  He was born Dec. 10 1825.  In 1846, he married Francis Margaret Baldridge.  

In 1860, he is living in St. Louis; his occupation is listed as cattle dealer.  By 1870, he has moved to Dardenne, St. Charles Co., MO.  By 1980, he has moved to
Clinton in Henry Co., MO.  In the 1990 census, he is listed as living in St. Charles Co. again, in Calloway.  Sometime after 1900, he dies in De Witt, Arkansas.  

The 75 year old female named Margaret Baldridge who is listed as a member of his household in 1860 is his mother-in-law.

One more tidbit.  In the 1910 census, Francis Margaret Baldridge Moore is living in Ward 19 of St. Louis.  She was 88.  It would appear that Zachariah died between 1900 and 1910.  Perhaps I will find more information.

Answer 2

I think this is the information you are looking for.  I found it at Ancestry.com, and they do have sources for all of the information.  

Henry Clay Moore, son of James Duke Moore and Catherine Ward, was born Feb 17 1843 in St. Charles Co., MO.  In 1860, he listed as a member of the household of his oldest brother, Zachariah, in St. Louis.  

On March 1, 1868, he marries Amelia Reynolds, daughter of James Reynolds and Nancy Rice, in Visalia, Tulare County, California.   She was born Feb. 14, 1851 in Pleasantville, Marion, Iowa.  They are the parents of five children.  A son, Orlando, born in 1868, a son, Charles, born in 1870, and son, Valentine, born in 1882, a daughter, Carrie, born in 1885, and a daughter, Gertrude, born in 1886.  All of the children were born in California.  

Henry Clay Moore died in 1926 and Amelia died in 1934.

There is an interesting oral history transcript of Ralph Moore, son of Orlando for the purpose of recounting an early flood of the area.  He mentions his grandmother and several other family members. I added this under sources.
