    Dora Moorman and Della Higgs were the forebears of a family that now numbers in
the hundreds, if not the thousands.  
    Most of what we know about them comes from census records, the death records of
their twelve known children, from other family histories and, more recently, from
DNA testing which proves conclusively that Dora is the grandson of James Haden
Moorman and his second wife, Nancy Ann Owen, most probably through their son, Silas
Mercer Moorman.
    Dora was born and raised on the Moorman family farm located in the Planters Hall
area of Breckinridge County, Kentucky, about seven miles due south and a little west
of Hardinsburg.
    Some time before 1870, Dora and Della Higgs moved to Daviess County and
purchased 274 acres in the southwest section of Murray's Precinct.  Dora sold or
transferred portions of this property to his sons before his death, including:
3 acres to Henry E Moorman for $1; 63 3/4 acres to Thomas Moorman "for love and
affection", and 63 3/4 acres to Luke A Moorman "for love and affection".  
    Dora died in August of 1894 and is buried in the Bethlehem Baptist Church
Cemetery in Utica.
