This is the family of the sister of my great-grandfather Harlston Perrin Moore. Anna Jerusha Moore’s parents were William Spencer Moore and Emily Tarrant. William Riley Cartee’s parents were William F. Cartee and Sarah Fleming. You can see a picture of one of the children of this family, Nora Kate Cartee, in Smile for the Camera: Wedding Belles.

The expert on this family is my third cousin, Jo Ann S. As a matter of fact, she has done such thorough and careful work on this family, the only additional “basic information” I would like to find on this family would be more information on Charles Hubbard Cartee’s two wives. Jo Ann was the first “genealogy cousin” I met after getting started on genealogy and provided a wonderful research model to emulate. I have used her research as a guide for this family, although I have also pulled and transcribed census, cemetery, and obituary information on them since they are included in my “Descendants of Samuel Moore” project.

And I will make my usual plea for this family in my effort to contact fellow researchers: If you are reading this and believe that you are related to this family I would really like to hear from you (you can find my e-mail if you click on View my complete profile under the section at the left entitled “About Me”).
