More Moores

The 1870 PA census is now every name searchable on ancestry.com, and I not only found Charles & Lucy MOORE with daughter Olivia, but found them living with Thomas & Susan MOORE. There is no relationship field in the 1870 census so I can't be sure Thomas & Susan are Charles' parents, but it is likely.

I then searched for Thomas & Susan in 1880. Enumerated with them is the single Elizabeth FLENARD who is listed as Thomas' sister-in-law. Both Susan and Elizabeth were born in New Jersey, and there is a small group of FLENARDs in Burlington county in earlier censuses, although I have not found Elizabeth anytime but in 1880 so far. I don't have immediate access to the 1860 or 1900 census. I'm looking forward to my next trip the local FHC to investigate further.

Good news / bad news

I found a new ancestor. Yay! He owned slaves. Boo! This is the first slave owning ancestor I have found. I suppose it was inevitable being of European descent and with so many of my lines reaching back to colonial days, but I thought the poverty of most of my ancestors would prevent it. Thomas Moore was the father of Charlotte Moore, wife of Howard Ogle.

It being Labor Day, I thought I would write a post about the occupations of my direct ancestors. I quickly realized it would become very long, and so have broken it down into my four main lines which I will post during this week. First, the Conrads.
