By Capt. J. M. Moore

Reminiscences of the Moore family, descended from James Moore, who settled in Belle Fontaine, in the State of Illinois in 1782. Written by one of the oldest survivors of the Moore name, at the centennial anniversary of the first settlement of the ancestors in southern Illinois. They were natives of Virginia and Maryland and settled in what was later Monroe County, near Waterloo, in the spring of 1782, when the country was wilderness and inhabited by native Americans.
