SECOND GENERATION Amanda Arantha Eubanks was born to James and Frances (Massey) Eubanks on 12 Feb 1832 in Georgia. She was called Allye (prounced "Allie"). 1840 GA, Murray Co., living with parents; listed as female age 5-10. 1850 GA, Murray Co., living with parents; listed as Ally R., age 17, female, born GA. In 1854 she married Andrew Jackson Moore (born 1830 Tennessee), probably in Murray County, Georgia, as their first two children were born in Georgia, James William "Jim" Moore on 25 Sep 1853 and John William "Bud" Moore on 4 Oct 1855. Andrew Jackson Moore was a schoolteacher. He also was of a frail constitution. According to what Joseph Henry Clark of Greene County, Arkansas, told his daughter Golvia Lewis (of Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas) "Amanda (Eubanks) married Jackson Moore, perhaps in GA - lived on the place that we know as the old 'Sherwood Batey place' ", but the Moores likely were the original owners. A.J. and Amanda moved to Cache Township in Greene County, Arkansas between 1855 and 1858, where their third child, Frances, was born 1859. Frances apparently died young, as nothing else is known about her. 1860 AR, Greene Co., Cache Township, Dwelling 287, Family 283 Moore, A.J. 30 M Farmer TN Amanda 28 F House Keeping GA J.W. 6 M Farmer GA John 5 M GA Frances 1 F AR Another child was born to A.J. and Amanda, about 1862 in Greene County, Charles E. Moore. It is believed Charles died young, as no other information has been found on him. Jackson Moore died before between 1862 and 1863 in Greene County. According to descendant Jane Debenport, Jackson died of an illness contracted in Western Arkansas while in the Confederate Army -- probably Baxter county. He was brought home in a wagon. His family knew of his illness. Perhaps someone in Greene county had gone out to bring him home after it was known that he was sick. When the wagon approached, the boys went out to meet it, and to see their father who had been away from home for what, at least to two young boys, was a very long time, only to find their father had died on the way home--that he did not live to make it--but his body was in the wagon." Amanda married Jonathan "Jont" Futrell around 1863. Jont was born about 1834 in Kentucky. He was a widower and brought one child into the marriage, John D. Futrell born 1849 Greene County. Jont and Amanda had one son born 1868, Jeptha J. Futrell. 1870 AR, Greene Co., Cache Township, Dwelling 57, Family 57 Futrell, Jonathan 36 M Farmer KY Armandy 35 F Keeps House GA John D. 11 M AR Jeptha J. 2 M AR Moore, James 17 M GA John 15 M GA Charles E 8 M GA Jont moved his family to Comanche, Texas between 1870 and 1877, where he died 4 November 1877. Family sources say he died in a gin fire in Comanche County. According to the daughter of James William Moore, this family left Greene County 24 Feb 1877. Amanda lived in Comanche and Lampases counties, Texas. She was living with her son, James William at the time of her death in 1910. The Lampases Leader published this obituary on 5 January 1910. "Mrs A. L. Futrell, mother of J W Moore died Tuesday evening at 8:00 after an illness of some months, though it was not thought death was so near. She was more than 70 years of age and has made her home in Lampasas for a number of years. Her sons J W Moore and Bud Moore will be here to attend the funeral which will be held from the family residence tomorrow at 10 o'clock." She is buried in Lampasas, Texas.
