Hi Guys,

Just a little more info on these folks. As you guys know my Moore line is
from Orange Co,NC and the Virginia border area c.1700-1840+. I know have
documentation where my Moore line runs from our Martha Moore b. 1840 to her father
Valentine Moore Jr b. c. 1810 married c, 1839 to Louisa Ward to Valentine Moore
Sr. b. c.1775 married Nancy L'ashley (Lashley). Valentine Moore Sr. is the son
of James Moore b. c. 1750 and Mary ? and James Moore is the son of Robert
Moore b. c.1725 . Nancy L'ashley is the daughter of Barnabas Lashley Jr. b.
c.1795 and obviously son of Barnabas L'ashley b.c.1765. Louisa Ward b. c. 1820 d/o
Joseph Ward and Charity Low(e). Joseph is the son of John Ward. Charity Low(e)
is the d/o Stephen Low(e) and Betty ?. Stephen Low(e) s/o Samuel Low(e) and
Anne ?.

These extra surnames may assist you guys in narrowing down the folks you are
looking for. I have been to the website that has alot of the Martin family
info and it mentions our Valentine Moore Sr. transacting business with a William
Martin. My great great grandfather was named William Martin Smith so I always
thought that was very coincidental so I figured the Moores and Martins may
have known my Smith family from somewhere along the line to have a name so close
to an aquaintence and the Moore family marrying into our Smith line.

Just thought I'd give you uys what I had to date,

Ernie Smith
