Back into the Past.....

At the bottom of this page are family photos supplied mostly by Pete Moore to daughter Barbara Moore Bowling. In the interest of avoiding further confusion I will upload the older family pics onto a new site dubbed Aldersons of North Carolina and Virginia, although I also have information on Cheneys, Whites, and more. Check the link for the older pix....

Of the below, I personally remember "Grandma" Inez very clearly. After a stay in the hospital in Danville, where I was allowed to visit with Daddy, she died of heart disease, having also suffered from adult-onset diabetes. She died in 1966 and is buried in Danville in Mt. View Cemetery.  Nannie Cora died in 1947, also in Danville. It would be interesting to check cemetery records there....

Photos of Harold Sims Moore

I would like to get any additional information about these photos as possible. Please note questions at photos. It is a nuisance that posted photos enter in an "update" form with last entered showing up at the top. Also, if any more computer-literate person would like to suggest a more organized or accessible way of posting/publishing these, I would like to know......thanks!  Photos show up at the bottom of this page, just scroll down. For now, moving on to the older photos......Barbara Moore Bowling

Kermit Lee Mayberry contributes Family Files and Photos

Thanks to Uncle Lee we now have many new family photos and genealogical information on the Aldersons, Chaneys, Whites, Sheltons, Donelsons, and Morrises who all seemed to live in the Laurel Grove area northeast of Danville, Virginia from the 1750's onward. These families lived and intermarried in the area for generations. The files include land grants, wills, census reports, and pedigrees. Lee was given much of the genealogical material by Fay and Albert Taylor (?), perhaps from the Mayberry side of the family. Fay has sadly died. She reported to Uncle Lee that the library (?) has a lot of info. Visitors can see more genealogical information which is kept in a locked  genealogy room there. Among other information, the record of where Jerri (Jeremiah?) White, Abraham White's (born 1794) son, is buried on the old plantation land, marked by a stone. Jeremiah Sr's will bequeathing slaves ( a horrifying discovery) and property complete with a list of all  properties down to the silverware, is included in the material Lee sent me. Some of the land deeds also mention Birch Creek and Sweeting Fork, also in the area. This is an introduction; much more to follow!
If anyone can add information to the above, there is room for comments below. For a start, how old is Daddy in the wonderful portrait on this page?
