<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">I'm reminded
of two friends who "collected" unusual first names, before
they had home computers. They hand wrote all the names
alphabetically in pencil, so they could erase & add more names.
When that got too messy, they'd rewrite the whole list. I didn't
believe them until they showed us their lists at the Family
HIstory Center.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Before
my PC & copy machine, I'd hand write family group sheets & ancestor
charts to share with relatives. Ooh! I was much younger
then. Modern technology can be frustrating at times, but I wouldn't go
back to the "old days" of genealogy. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Unusual
names can sometimes be a clue to ancestors but yes, names go in trends.
Just look at the names young mothers give their children today.
Pity the child who was named King Benjamin Peck - he went by K. B.
Sometimes when a person is named after a family member,
they use their middle name. Nicknames also make searching family
hard. Census enumerators had to guess how to spell illiterate
immigrants' names. Some names may have been the parents' idea of what
career she wanted her child to achieve - setting the goal. The Peck
family were in the wrong country to expect their son to become
"King" though. Oh well!</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

again I have to comment on the interesting names that people gave their
children back in those days. My James Ellison Howell who was born in
Tennessee had a brother names Squire Howell. He also named one of his
sons (a twin) Doctor Carswell Howell. When I was doing the genealogy I
couldn’t help think that these people had delusions of grandeur but now I
think they must have just been fad names at the time. Lafayette was
another common name at this time in history. I must have at least six
Lafayette’s.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Anthony
Moore married Zilphia Haines (daughter of Bethanah/Bethany Haines) in
Frederick, Virginia. They were Quakers. They moved to Tennessee. Their son
David Moore married "out of unity" to Margaret Sherman in
Tennessee. This was in the Lone Mountain area of NE Tennessee - near
Grainger, Hawkins, Greene, and Claiborne counties, TN. Of many kids, David
Moore had two sons I know a lot about : Squire Moore and Alfred Moore. Squire
Moore's first wife was Rebecca Capps. They are the parents of my great great grandmother
Lucinda Jane Moore Sumner b. About 1831 in TN. She married Samuel Sumner Jr.
(b. Abt. 1829 Clark Co., IN) in Linn County, Missouri. After Rebecca died,
Squire married again to Celia Catherine Anderson Curtis and had about 5 more
kids; his second wife already had many kids so there were about 15
altogether. <br>
<br>
Many of David Moore's children married the children of Fielding Lewis
of the Lone Mt. area of TN. For example, Lucinda Moore, the youngest sister
of Squire and Alfred Moore married Fielding Lewis Jr. They had moved to MO
and then left for Oregon in 1852. On the Oregon Trail, Lucinda and three of
her children died. Fielding Jr. and the other children settled in Oregon. I
have more details if you want them.<br>
<br>
Lucinda Jane Moore Sumner's favorite cousin was Margaret Melissa Moore,
daughter of Alfred Moore and Mahulda Bullard. They are buried near each other
in Etna Cemetery, Polk County. Lucinda's half brother James Robinson Moore
married Nancy Ellen McClintock and they came to Oregon as well and lived near
the Etna Church in Polk County. Nancy Ellen's sister Eliza Frances McClintock
married James Edgar, and they are buried in Etna Cemetery as well. Samuel and
Lucinda Jane Moore Sumner's son James Clark Sumner married Lucinda Frances
Tremain in Linn Co., MO; she was the daughter of John Hardy Tremain and Mary
Ann McClintock - a sister of Nancy Ellen and Eliza. These sisters were the
daughters of Findley McClintock and his wife Nancy Sumner. "We are all
related."<br>
