New Information from my sister Martha in 2014.......about Thomas M. Moore
Baby born 1869, or early 1870. At any rate, she was pregnant when they got married.
As I recall, the 1870 census showed an infant boy, not yet named at that time. This in itself is strange.
Cynthia B. Harper, baby's mother, was born in York, SC.
