Township, is the son of Joseph P. and Matilda C. (Abbott) Moore, both natives

of Tennessee, the father born in Sumner County in 1806, and the mother in

Rutherford County in 1813. They were marri11d in 1832, and after living in

Rutherford County until 1837 they moved to Washington County, Ark., and

settled near Fayetteville. While living in Tennessee the father made spinning

machines, though after coming here he followed farming. He was a Democrat

until President Jackson vetoed the banks, and was afterward a Whig. He died

in 1850. The mother is still living, and is a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Their family consisted of seven children, all boys, and only three now living.
