[Bourbon County]  [North Middletown Precinct]

JOHN V. MOORE, farmer and trader; P. O. North Middletown; was born on
Plum Lick, near the Bourbon and Montgomery line, on the 14th of February,
1822.  His grandfather was a native of Ireland, and emigrated to the
United States about the year 1770 and settled in Virginia, where he
remained about eighteen years.  He next came to Kentucky and settled near
North Middletown, in Bourbon County, where he spent the greater portion
of his after life.  He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order in
his day, and organized the first Masonic Lodge at the above town.  He
raised three sons and two daughters and died at the age of eighty-four
years.  His second son, John Moore, was married about 1808 to Mrs.
Mollie (Race) Fulton.  The result of this union was seven children--two
sons and five daughters.  John Moore was a volunteer in the war of 1812,
in Capt. Combs' Company, Col. Dick Johnson's regiment.  Participated in
the memorable battle of the Thames.  Saw and examined the body of
Tecumseh after he was killed.  Immediately after the war he returned to
his Kentucky home, where he passed the remainder of his life with his
family.  He was a man, being born in an honest period of our country's
history, was scrupulously exact in all his dealings and assiduous in the
discharge of every duty devolving upon him.  He attached himself to the
Christian Church when about the age of about forty-five years, under
the preaching of John T. Johnson.  He was a man of firm convictions, an
avowed Democrat through life, and died at the age of eighty-four.  His
second son, John V., who is the subject of this sketch, was married
January 2, 1844, to Phebe A. Combs, by whom he raised three sons:
Richard F., who was killed in the Morgan charge at Lebanon, Ky., on the
5th of August, 1863; Fulton R., who died at Camden, Mississippi, in 1870,
and Kelly P., who married Mattie E., daughter of Elder John B. McGinn,
on December 22d, 1880, and who still resides with his father at the
homestead.  Mr. Moore and family are all members of the Christian CHurch
and are Democrats in politics.
