It’s late on Friday night, so I am not going to write in great detail about this family tonight; I’ll have more to add tomorrow.

Bud Mathis Moore was the brother of my great-great-grandfather, William Spencer Moore (for whom Bud Mathis Moore’s son William Spencer was apparently named), so his descendants form the other main family line in my Descendants of Samuel Moore (d. 1828) of Greenville County, South Carolina project. That I know about this family and have been able to make the connection to my branch of the Moores is all thanks to Mary Newton, my fourth cousin. Through her I have also been in contact with other members of this branch of the family. She provided me with a copy of the family history written on this branch by Furman Moore, son of William Spencer Moore (the one who was B. M. Moore’s son) which is the source of much information and the starting point of my research on this family.

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”).
