I've been overwhelmed with responses about Moores. Felt I should put
on the network and hopefully they will help someone.

*DAVID H. MOORE, born July 10, 1832, was the second white child born
in Dunklin County. His parents were Howard and Mary Welch Moore,
natives of Virginia. They emigrated to Dunklin County in 1829 and
were the first white settlers to located within the limits of this
county. They also built and lived in the first white man.s cabin,
stopping at first about four miles south of Malden, Missouri. Mr.
Moore afterward bought the log cabin and improvements of Chilleticaux
near Kennett, and it was he who established the first grist mill at
that place in pioneer days. He lived to a good age and at his death
left each of his eight children forty acres of good Dunklin County
land. Davis H. Moore was partly reared in Chilleticaux Cabin, has
eaten many of the big Indian peaches grown on the trees planted by
that chief. He also, when a lad, helped to grind corn on one of the
first grist mills in the county, and prior to that time pounded corn
and coffee in the mortar made by Chilleticaux in the latter's kitchen,
which the chief said was "all built of cypress but one log, which log
was of wood."
"Uncle Dave," as he is familiarly called, was first married to Claircy
spurlock; she died leaving two children, Wesly and Mary. Mr. Moore
has lost four wives by death, his fifth wife being his present
companion. She has had three husbands, her first being a Mr. Bird,
her second a Mr. Jordan; her maiden name was Ouva Haggard. she and
Mr. Moore have two children, Samantha and (blank).
There are but three other persons who have resided in Dunklin County
longer than David H. Moore. He lives in Kennett, Missouri, and is the
oldest citizen of that place. He is a democrat in politics.
