Uncle Jack told us Philip St. John Moore fathered the boy who was born
of the family's cook in the office inside the yard at Maple
Lawn. The child grew up to be a noted colored preacher and educator in Washington, DC.
(Others have thought it might
be Jack himself who was the father as Jack was very proud of John's
achievements.)

& Elizabeth Parsons had no children.
Civil Engineer
Jack Moore was a mechanical engineer and one of the very first contract engineers in
North Carolina. He was noted for railroad construction in the mountains and highway
construction through the swamps. He worked on locating the Pacific end of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, a transcontinental railway in Canada. "On one day he would be driving
a Rolls Royce and on the next he would be bankrupt again," my father said. He
was involved in the construction of the highway from Winton to South Norfolk through the
swamps -- many sections were built on pilings. [It was when Uncle Jack
went bankrupt building this highway that Daddy obtained Uncle Jack's holdings of the farm
from the banks.] The later settling of the pilings gave one quite a wavy ride - but
most of his route is still in use today.

e-mail to Sally from James Moore 10 July 2003
-- Haven't you ever heard the tale about Aunt Irene's diamonds?
During the First World War, Uncle Jack and Uncle Godwin were living in
British Columbia lumbering and possibly building roads. Canada, as
part of the British Empire, got into the war long before we did.
The Canadian government commandeered all of the mules used by Uncle Jack's
outfit. Consequently, they couldn't work and couldn't fulfill their
contract. Supposedly some of the locals were coming after them with
evil intentions.
Uncle Jack and Aunt Bessie, and Uncle Godwin and Aunt Irene and their boys
jumped in their cars and headed for the border.
Bradley was left behind to pack everything.
Aunt Irene had rolled her diamonds up in a rug.
However, when the rug was unrolled in North Carolina, the diamonds were
nowhere to be found!
By the way, Buck was named Ernest Bradley for Uncle Jack's Bradley.
