My Notes

Cynthia Moore - two of them.

One (Cynthia) is married to Alfred Hale Slover. She is Zachariah Chaney Moore's daughter.

Zachariah is Martha and Cynthia's (the second one) brother.

All three are James Moore and Hanna Boring's children.

Research Notes

Jacob Slover and Martha Moore divorce - looks like it might be true. Information is bits and pieces I picked out from several "threads". Still needs more research. (1800s soap opera).

Abraham Slover and Martha Anderson are parents of Jacob Slover. Jacob was born 1780 Pennsylvania.

Jacob Slover married Martha (Patty) Moore in 1806. Her parents are James Moore and Hanna Boring. Jacob paid a tax on land in 1823 Goodfield Reah, Tennessee. Owned a store in Dandridge Tennessee, Effingham Illinois, maybe Dunklin Missouri and Wayne Illinois. Jacob's Military Service - War of 1812, Private Bunch's Regiment (1814), East Tennessee, Miland in 2nd Regiment, Mounted Gunman (Brown's) East Tennessee.

Jacob Slover and Martha Moore are parents of Alfred Slover. He married, Cynthia Moore (not the one that is Martha Moore's sister), Dandridge, Tennessee. She is the daughter of Zachary Moore and his second wife was Vandagriff Abelis (Abells). Alfred taught school, worked in his father's Dandridge, Tennessee store, hauled merchandise from New Orleans to Dandridge. He belonged to the Baptist church. Was Commissioner of Jefferson County Tennessee. He moved to Soddy Hamilton Tennessee in 1847.

Jacob Slover divorced Martha Slover on September 21 1827. (Book Tennessee Tidbits 1778 to 1914 by Marjorie Hood Fischer and Ruth Blake Burns). He was granted the divorce. From the testimony of Henry Price, Abraham Cox, John Taff, Miss Martin and James Wilson. It appears that the defendant (Martha Slover) has been guilty of adultery. (Rhe TN, Cir CT Min, B/131), page 34I.

To make our story better,

Grandmother Elizabeth Jane Slover Wallace, daughter of Albert Moore Slover, granddaughter of Alfred Hill Slover, and Great Granddaughter of Jacob Slover and the defamed Martha Moore Slover.

Elizabeth Jane Slover's husband is Samuel Wallace. His family was also from East Tennessee. His father, Rev Benjamin F Wallace (1807-1856) was the well known Presbyterian Minister, born in Blount Tennessee and died in Soddy Hamilton Tennessee. His father was Abraham Wallace and mother was Ann McCellan. Abraham's father, John, was killed by Indians, Heavy Horseman Creek (NC? TN?).

Love the fact that Martha Moore's own sister, Cynthia Moore (b 1801), was married to the John Taff, who testified against Martha. Martha and Cynthia Moore had a brother named Zachariah Chaney Moore, whose daughter is, Cynthia Moore (b 1815). Cynthia Moore (Zachariah's daughter) married Alfred Hill Slover (parents are Jacob and Martha Slover).

John Taff, had been executor of Jacob Slover's father's will.

Jacob kept a store in Dandridge and also in Effingham, Illinois. where his brother, Isaac had gone previously.

He wanted his son Alfred Hill Slover to follow him to Illinois to clerk in the store. Jacob would give him $600 a year and a child's part in all he had. Alfred remained near Soddy, Hamilton Tennessee. Upon his arrival in Illinois, Jacob bought out an Irish merchant who was far gone with TB. The Irishman gave Jacob $5,000 in notes to keep for him, saying he had no living relatives. If he did not come back, Jacob was to keep them. Irishman left and was never heard from again.

There were 9 children, Alfred being the 5th. Unfortunately, the courthouse at Kennett Dunklin Missouri was burned in the Civil War. In 1872, the newly-built courthouse was burned with all the records.
