Capt. John A. Moore, a veteran of both the Mexican and Civil Wars, was born 25 Oct 1821, the son of William F. and Elizabeth (_____) Moore of Bedford County, TN. He married 11 Sep 1858 in Rutherford County TN to Mary Amanda Adams. They had no children. Capt. John was Clerk of the County Court of Coffee County, TN before his death on 23 Oct 1882.
Both he and Amanda are buried in the City Cemetery in Manchester TN.
In order to settle his estate, it was necessary to locate his siblings, all of whom had moved from the area. The above letter to Mr. Vannoy (a Coffee County attorney and the administrator of the estate) from Capt. John’s youngest brother gives the names and locations of the family of William and Elizabeth Moore in 1883.
