- Zeba Clark MOORE, the ninth child of Phila (WRIGHT) MOORE
- and her husband William MOORE, was born in Jefferson, Erie
County, New York on February 29, 1836. As a young boy he manifested
an appreciation of those qualities of heart and mind that go
to form a manly character. This standard of rigor seemed naturally
to be based upon the Golden Rule. All with whom he associated
loved him as a friend, knowing that they could trust him as an
honorable character. He was a serious man of a talkative, argumentative,
thinking mind, a man of steady purpose and calm judgment. In
politics Zeba MOORE was a Democrat. He went to Wisconsin and
settled in the vicinity of his older brother's homes on a farm.
He made the acquaintance of Rhoda RODD, a native of Prince Edwards
Island, where she was born January 4, 1846. She moved with her
father to Wisconsin where she met and married Zeba MOORE on January
1, 1868. This was a happy marriage and Mrs. MOORE was the "bright
particular star" of this harmonious household.

discharged from U.S. service July 10, 1865 at Louisville, Kentucky,
