SIDNEY CARTER MOORE, Webster County, was born September 25, 1826, in Person County, N. C., where he was reared to manhood; he removed to Hopkins County, Ky., in 1850, and in 1852 came to Webster County, where he now resides. His father, Richard R. Moore, a native of North Carolina, died about 1836, at the age of forty-five years. He was the son of John Moore, of North Carolina. Richard R. married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Evans, of North Carolina, and to them were born David R., Thomas E., subject and William P. Subject's mother subsequently married Samuel Yarbrough, and to them were born DeWitt C. and Elizabeth (Jones). October 21, 1847, our subject married Miss Ann J., daughter of John and Sarah (Davies) Lunsford of Person County, N. C., (born August 14, 1831); this union has been without issue, but Mr. Moore is rearing two orphans: Mary Adelia and Irwin M. Vaughan. Subject followed farming very successfully until 1863, since that time he has found profitable employment as merchant, broker, general trader and real estate agent, all of which have contributed to a handsome competency. In politics he is a Democrat, and the family are members of the Christian Church.
