History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 543. [Bourbon County] [North Middletown Precinct] JAMES S. MOORE, farmer, P. O. North Middletown; son of Elisha and Elizabeth (Money) Moore, and was born Sept. 20th, 1820 in Montgomery Co. His grandfather was a native of Scotland and emigrated to Virginia prior to the struggle for independence. He was killed in the revolutionary army under General Washington. His (subject) grandmother was of English birth. His father, Elisha Moore, was born in Virginia and came to Kentucky about 1809. He married Elizabeth Money, of Fairfax County, Va., by whom he had seven sons, and three daughters. The fourth son, James S., who is the subject of our sketch, was married Feb. 10, 1842, to Martha A. Bibb of Montgomery. By this marriage there are six living children. Three sons, viz: George A., who is a graduate of the Kentucky University at Lexington, and was honored with the valedictory address on that occasion. He is now a popular teacher Clintonville. James M., the second son, was obliged to leave the above University, before graduating, on account of failing health. He subsequently regained his health and married Maggie Frazier, and is now one of the enterprising farmers of Clark County. The third son, W. L., married Annie King, of Clark, where he has also engaged in agricultural pursuits. There were also three daughters, viz: Matilda F., wife of J. G. Salmons; Mary E., wife of Thomas Hall, and Martha A., wife of Wm. Rion, of Paris. Martha A. Moore died August 24, 1854. Mr. Moore was next married to Martha A. Crouch of Bath County, the 28th of Aug., 1855. This union is blessed with five living children, two daughters, viz: Minnie J., who is a graduate of the K.C. & B. College at North Middletown, and now controls one of the best disciplined schools in Montgomery County, and Rosa E., who is a student at her sister's school. The eldest son, Sherman B., is now in the Bible Department of Kentucky University where he will probably graduate this year; after which he expects to make a preacher of the Gospel. Allie R. and CLarence E., the two youngest sons, are now students of the K.C. & B. College. Mr. Moore, through the whole course of his life, has been a very active and industrious man, and always place a very high estimate on education as the above record will testify. He began life in moderate circumstances, reared and education a large family, has contributed liberally to all charitable institutions that were presented to him, and now owns a nice little farm of 166 acres. He and his entire family are members of the Christian Church and he is a Democrat in politics.
