Marriages Page
Note Asa and Elizabeth's marriage is recorded at the very top. Only one child's marriage is recorded. I wonder why? Rosan(na) was the first to marry. There is a piece of hair saved in the Bible at this point. No one I have asked knows whose it was. If you have any idea, please let me know.
One the left and part way down the right side, Asa Moore listed the births of his 11 children. Below, on the right, his granddaughter, Angelina Moore Moore lists the births of some of her siblings.
On this page are listed the children of Asa Moore's son, Richard MOORE and his wife Jennie G. VOIGT. This is a more complete list that includes their 2 sons.
