WILLIAM MOORMAN:  William Moorman, a brother of James H. L. Moorman, was
set apart about the same time as his brother to the work of the ministry by
Little Otter Church in Bedford County, Va.  He emigrated to Kentucky about 
1808 and settled in what is now Hancock County.  He aided in organizing 
several churches in the Goshen Association.  Among these were Blackford, in 
Hancock County, in 1825. He assisted Thomas Downs, Ancil Hall, and D. J. 
Kelley in constituting this church of 21 members.  He also assisted his 
Brother, James H. L. Moorman, Ancil Hall, and D. J. Kelley, in constituting 
Bethabara Church on October 5, 1825.  He served as the first pastor of 
Blackford Church until the time of his death in 1834 - the same year his 
brother went to his final reward.  At his death he was about 62 years of 
age, having been born about the year 1772, and had been in the ministry 32 
years.  Although not so gifted as his brother he was an interesting preacher 
and the Lord wrought a good work by him.  An exceedingly sad circumstance 
occurred in the life of this good man in that he accidentally shot his wife 
through the head causing instant death.

Records show that he performed marriages in Daviess County from 1829 to 1834
the year of his death.
