e-mail from Michael Cotten 5/31/01 -I noticed that you don't have much on Cullen
Cotten, Arthur and Elizabeth Cotten's eldest son. A couple of months ago, I saw
a posting on Genforum from one of Cullen's descendants, Lewie Dunn [
see]
. ... He says that Cullen married Helen Moore, daughter of Aaron Moore, and that the family settled in Edgefield, S.C.
He also mentions a will. It appears that Cullen may have had sons named Josiah and Jonathan and probably a number of daughters.
note: in the Feb Ct 1832 records of Hertford Co, NC
appears this entry: a paper purporting to be the Copy of the Last Will and
Testament of Aaron Moore, deceased is exh. and the Ct being satisfied as to
its authenticity ordered it to be recorded [as the Ct House had
burned] [this may have been son of the man that died in 1811]

2/24/06 e-mail from Roger and Joy Atkins
re Moore Cemetery on Dead Fall Creek, Anson Co NC
Hugh and I got a wild hair
last weekend and decided since the weather was cold but sunny, we
would go get the inscriptions off the grave markers at the Moore
Cemetery in Anson County, NC.
We were able to confirm our
suspicions that there are only 5 stones there. We poked around
a good bit looking for fallen stones that had been covered with
undergrowth. In doing so, Hugh discovered what looked
like a small trench around those 5 graves. Probably put there
to discourage water from standing on the graves. Anyway, we
believe that's all the graves.
Of course the stones were worn
and almost unreadable so we used plain flour to bring out the words,
making it possible to transcribe and photograph them.
Now, before anybody freaks out. This procedure is harmless.
We brushed the excess flour off and then rinsed the stones
with water. I used this procedure on the stone of a Civil
War veteran about 4 years ago for his descendant who lives in Texas.
His stone is still fine today, I checked on it again this
morning.
The cemetery is laid out as
follows:
Napoleon
Bonapart
Elizabeth D. Chapman
Mary Moore
Dickinson Moore
Rosannah Moore
Below is how the inscriptions are on the
stones.

ROSANNAH MOORE
Died Feb 23rd 1860.
Aged 67 y'rs
3 mon' 15 da's
At an early age
She embraced the
Christian Religion
And was baptized
Into the fellowship
Of the Baptist Church
Of Christ Nov 1830.
___________
Her life was beautified
By the graces of Religion
And adorned with
The excellencies of
Consistent piety
She died deeply lamented
By this Community
Whose confidence and
Esteem she enjoyed in
An eminent degree.
Her death was like the
Setting sun in a clear
And unclouded day
Reflecting a radiant beauty
Up the path she had walked
She gently breathed out her
Meek and quiet spirit
And a serene and heavenly
Smile rested upon her face
As if to soothe the sorrows
Of the bereaved ones
Who wept around her bed.
___________
"Dearest Mother thou has left
us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But 'tis God that has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
___________
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled
There in Heaven with joy to
greet thee
Where no farewell tear is
shed."

Dr. Cornelius Godwin Cotten Moore and wife Ellen
Britton
Dr. C. G. C. Moore's medical office
when he lived in Rich Square.
It has been moved to Jackson, NC
e-mail from Alan: Due to her father's death in 1789, siblings Sarah Dickinson, and brothers John
and Laurence Dickinson, became wards of Laurence Moore. This was recorded in
Northhampton County, North Carolina, Guardian Accounts, Book A, 1781-1802, pgs
101-102. In 1789 (Time of death of Father), Sarah Dickinson would have been @ 11,
followed by John Dickinson @ 9, and finally, Laurence Dickinson, who would have
been @ 7 years of age. Evidently, the children's mother, Martha Laurence was
deceased prior to John Dickinson's , Sr. death, presumably @ 1784. This is when
another child, Abagail Dickinson, evidently died.
Although Elizabeth (Dickinson) was Laurence Moore's 1st wife, by 1801, his 2nd
wife, and her sister Martha (Dickinson) is also believed to be deceased. By the
end of 1801, Laurence Moore was married to Tabitha Lockhart Moore (his cousin,
through Moses Moore?). Tabitha was Laurence Moore's third, and final wife.
I attended a "dedication ceremony" in 1998 for the discovered gravesite of Laurence Moore & his third wife, Tabitha in Polkston, Anson County, NC. NH
