more work needed

I couldn't find him in the 1850 census, in part because of his common name and censustakers often not mentioning middle initials. Plus, he was away at school, though I did find George and Frances Moore in the indexed 1850 Mason County federal census (I don't know whether Frances was his sister or George's wife). Basically, an entire decade of what for most men of his generation was the most important of their lives is missing--C.P.T. Moore started 1860 winning election as the local commonwealth's attorney, had his first child after the Civil War, and in 1870 defeated a Republican for the legislative seat. I was only briefly able to stop at the WV archives on my latest trip through West Virginia. The local Northern Virginia regional library does have a copy of a typescript a history of Mason County from 1961 which includes a brief bio but also omits this era. For what it's worth I failed to find him in the different volumes of West Virginia confederate and union soldiers at the West Virginia Archives, and don't know if I'll have time for this at the Library of Congress tomorrow after I take care of other obligations. Of course, not everyone fought, and CPT Moore was in his early 30s during the conflict. I thought he probably sympathized with the Confederacy, but no Moores enlisted from Mason County. According to Virgil A. Lewis's Soldiery of West Virginia (1911, 1972 reprint) p. 223 (and Lewis was from Mason County as well as the state's earliest historian), Mason County sent more than 1000 men to the Union army and one company of 61 men to the Confederate Army (almost the exact opposite of Hampshire County).Jweaver28 (talk) 00:10, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
