My
great-grandfather, Oglesby Moore, was born in January 1888 to a Thomas &
Isis Sweeney. When he was four years old, he was adopted by a Jackson Moore
along with his half-sister, Gertrude. That's why my Mom's maiden name was Nina
Moore.
Grandpa
Oglesby was born in Avoca, Lawrence County, Indiana, and my Mom & Dad were,
too. I was born in Dunn Memorial Hospital in 1941in Bedford, and spent
many summers there with both grandparents. My grandpa Moore worked in the fish
hatchery and my other grandfather May in the stone quarries. We lived in
Indiana until I was 6, but then moved here to PA. I have many cousins left in
Bedford, but, unfortunately my Uncles & Aunts are gone.
We
can find nothing at all about Thomas Sweeney except that he was born in Illinois
in 1848, making him 40 when Oglesby was born. The birth certificate says they
were married but we can't even find that! Can you help?
