born about 1760, and who served as a soldier in the Revolutionary war, 
for which he was a pensioner of the Government up to the time of his 
death.  Wilson was reared by his grandfather, Thomas Moore, who was born 
in Pittsylvania County, Va., he was a son of John Moore, who emigrated 
from England in the latter part of the seventeenth century.  Wade Moore 
was married in the year 1812, to Meda, daughter of Clayburn and 
Elizabeth (Ray) Lightfoot.  Her family was among the oldest in Virginia.  
From this union sprang George W., Elisha C., John J., Minerva (Beed), 
Narcissa (Robinson), Samuel (deceased), and Henry.  Mrs. Meda Moore 
departed this life in 1845; her husband four years later.  Elisha C. has

and has, in connection with his farm work, engaged in carpentering, 
blacksmithing, teaming, and other mechanical pursuits.  He had to go in 
debt for the furniture with which to begin housekeeping, but by economy, 
and notwithstanding that he has paid nearly $2,000 in security debts, he 
has become the owner (including amounts settled on his children, and 
sold for their benefit) of lands amounting to 475 acres.  He was for six 
years a magistrate, and a member of the court of claims of Allen County.
