   AMOS MOORE, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, born August 15, 1807, in Fairfield County,
Ohio, is a son of John and Annie (Spurgeon) Moore, natives of Maryland and
pioneers of Ohio and of Hancock County. John Moore moved from Fairfield County,
Ohio, to this county in 1832, and entered land near the Limestone Ridge, called
"Ridgeville" or "Big Spring," where he resided until his death. Of his family of
seven children three only are now living: Rosilla (wife of J. Duddleson),
Elizabeth (now in Tennessee, widow of Stephen Lee), and Amos. Our subject
received his education in Fairfield County. Ohio, and there learned the
wheelwright trade, and engaged in the manufacture of spinning wheels, both large
and small. He carried on this business until some time after the breaking out of
the late war. He married, in 1838, Margaret, daughter of Robert Walker, a native
of County Tyrone, Ireland, who came to America in 1802, settled in Pennsylvania,
and afterward moved to Stark County. Ohio, where Mrs. Moore was born in 1815,
the sixth child in a family of ten children, only three of whom are now living.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore have been blessed with two children: Francis and George W.
Mr. Moore resides on his farm near Vanlue, this county. He is in good
circumstances, and is respected by his fellow citizens.
