I am trying to find the parents of Catherine Moore who married
William W. Carney in Bertie Co., NC around 1800. He is listed
in the 1803 tax book of Bertie along with Shadrach Dunning and
Cader Barnes. They all moved to Christian Co., KY in 1804 or
so. Shadrach Dunning and Cader Barnes are in the Christian Co.
tax book of 1805 and William Carney is there in 1806. They all
remained in the area for the rest of their lives. When William
Carney made his will in 1839 no wife was listed among his heirs.
When his son Wiley Moore Carney died on 15 Oct 1853 his parents
were listed in the Death Register as William Carney and
Catherine Moore. His sister, named Jennett Moore Carney,
married Levi Dunning, grandson of Shadrach Dunning.

William made a bequest in his will to his wife's neice Sally
Baker, daughter of Seth Baker. In the 1820s I found a deed
given by Seth Baker and his wife Rhoda. I am guessing that this
Rhoda is the sister of Catherine.

There are two large Moore families in Bertie Co., NC and I have
ordered a film from the NC Archives containing the estate papers
of the Moore name. I am hoping they will have some data on my
family. I will share research.
