William MOORE was born abt 1767 in New Jersey ?, or South Carolina ? (different census records show different information), and died abt 1850 in Engin Creek, Unicoi County, Tennesee. He married Nancy COPES abt 1807. He was in his forties when he married Nancy and it is believed that she was his second wife; nothing has been found to prove this yet. I am relying on the approximate dates of birth of most of his children which came from census records.
