Perry County

Researching Silas MOORE b. 1851-2 in Alabama. By 1874 Silas was in Putnam or Jasper County, GA. He married Ella BURNEY from Putnam County about 1874 and by 1880 they lived in Jasper County. He died between 1910-1920 Jasper County, Ga and no record of death was filed.

There are a few possibilities that are close matches in the AL 1870 Census:
1. Silas Moore age 19, Perry County, AL...
....Millie, 20, Winnie, 10, Emma, 08 and Wesley 21
2. Silas Moore, age 24, Dallas County, AL
.....is living in the household of Ellick REESE w/wife and children and a lady and her baby surnamed CHESTNUT.

The 3rd Silas Moore Silas Moore was the son of Cupid and Whinny of Jefferson County (former slaves of John B. Moore>James B. Moore). He is ruled out because he is still in Jefferson County and married in 1880.

A descendant of one of the slave owners I was interested seen my post on the Yahoo group MOORE-SOUTH and offered to see what he could find on him but never got back to me. I'm assuming he never made any discoveries, but I will check into that to be sure.
