John Moore came to Perry, in 1834, from Wake county, North Carolina, when four 
years old.  His father was a planter in this county for a number of years.  He 
was graduated at the State University, and read law under Gen. Garrott.  He was 
a lieutenant in the Fortieth Alabama regiment, and was captured near Marietta 
in June 1864.  Exchanged in October, a want of health cut short his service.  
In 1865 he represented the county in the legislature, and in 1866 he was 
elected to the circuit court bench by a large majority over Hon. B. F. Safford 
of Dallas.  Removed from the bench in April 1868, he has since practiced law, 
and is now associated with Mr. P. B. Lawson.  Judge Moore is mainly both in 
appearance and nature, and reserved in demeanor.  He married a daughter of Dr. 
Clement Billingslea, who represented Montgomery in the legislature of 1845.
