F./Moore Film Number: M227 roll 26 Hope this helped a little bit. Is it possible that he lived to at least 1929-1930??? I ask because I found the birth of a Daniel Bonner Morpe in Palo Pinto County (Mineral Wells is in this county), Texas in 1930. His father was Daniel Fitch Moore and his mother was Grace Bonner. Perhaps the father mentioned above is the son of the Daniel Fitch Moore you are searching? According to the Social Security Death Index, there was a Daniel Moore (no middle name or intitial given) who was born in 1902 and died in Mineral Wells, Texas in December of 1984. Does this ring a bell? If you know 1) His wife's first name 2) a couple of kids' names and birth years, 3) What county Mineral Wells is in We could try to find him in 1910 for you. You'd have to share those facts with us, of course. Texas has a lot of small counties and people have been known to move. His wife's name and a couple of kids would pin him down no matter where he was in 1910, maybe. Like as not he's hiding out as "D F" and his kids are "R L", "J D" and "G W". Anne Louise, his wife, will be Louise Ann or A. L. But we can try. Have you tried for his obituary, death certificate, cemetery records, funeral home records? http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/... according to this file, he died in 1887 in Bridgeport, which is Wise county. You may want to survey this file and the notes. If he was in Wise county, their genweb site is among the best on the internet. However, what I see in the notes is that the youngest children were born in Hunt county. I would expect any probate files or such to be there. |
