     WILLIAM S. MOORE, a highly esteemed and eminently successful
business man and representative citizen of Paducah, Kentucky, was born
in McCracken county, Kentucky, in 1838, and is a son of Duncan James
and Susannah (McNeill) Moore, the former of whom was born in Hopkins
county, Kentucky, and the latter in Muhlenberg county, Kentucky.  The
paternal grandfather, Austin Moore, was a native of North Carolina, of
Irish descent, while the maternal grandfather, Hector McNeill, was born
in Tennessee and was of Scotch descent.  Duncan James Moore was a very
successful farmer, was a Democrat and became very prominent in his party.
 In religious matters he was a Baptist, dying in that faith when
sixty-six years of age, in 1875, while the mother died at the age of
eighty-nine years, in 1901, she then being the second in point of years
in the county.  The children born to these worthy people were as
follows: Nancy Jane Spence, Mary Ann Spence, William Samuel, Amanda M.
Gilmore, John, Joseph F., James Louis, Martha Susannah Houser and Louise
Joanna, and all were reared and educated in the schools of the county.
     William S. Moore is a potter by trade, but for some years has not
followed his calling, he having been called upon to represent the
Democratic party as county trustee of the county.  His religious
affiliations are with the Baptist church, in which he is very active.
     In 1863 Mr. Moore was united in marriage with Satynah Augusta
Morrison, who was born in Montgomery county, Tennessee, in 1846, and
she bore her husband the following children: John Lloyd Norton, Robert
Emmitt, Clara Susan, Virgil Franklin, Henry Davis, Aubry Arlando and
Lucie, all of whom were reared and carefully educated in McCracken
county, Kentucky.  Mr. Moore enjoys the confidence and respect of his
fellow townsmen, and has many friends, not only in Paducah, but
throughout the surrounding county.
