All of the information that I found of Elvira Moorer, wife of Thomas Humphrey Snow, gives her burial at Braggs, Loundes, Alabama in 1893.

The problem that I have found is that this Elvira's father is listed as William Henry Moorer and that she and Thomas Snow had only one child, Eugene Henry Calvin Snow.

So either Major JJ Moorer is not the father or Thomas Humphrey Snow is not the husband.

Best of luck Barbie.

Elvira Orville is not the Elvira that I am searching for.

Elvira (Moorer) Snow's father was Maj. John Jacob Moorer 1784-1851born in South Carolina.

Elvira (Moorer) Snow who wed Thomas Humphries Snow was born 1824 in South Carolina.

I do see a census for1850 in SC.

John Jacob Moorer will on on Find A Grave , states his daughter was married to Thomas H Snow, and daughter Orinda was married to Elijah H Snow..
