Anderson Moore born (September 1836-March 16 1901) in Washington County Tennesee to William and Hannah Moore. Born of two Indigenous parents, Anderson Moore and his family migrated from Tennesee, into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, finally into Henderson County Texas to make their home sometime around the late 1850 to early 1860.

William Moore was born in 1798 in tne Watagua Settlements of North Carolina, his wife Hannah Moore was born in 1802 in tne Watagua Settlements as well. It is not known what happened to William Moore, during the migration out of Tennesee, but we see through records that Anderson, his mother Hannah and his Sister Susan are the only one to show up on any records in Henderson County.

Not much is known about these early pioneers of East Texas or why they chose to migrate to Texas. Their history is lost, thier stories are lost and other than the records left behind, we have no other way to tell thier stories. It is not known whether his wife Lucinda Adams came along with him during his migration to Texas, or if they met in Texas. We do know that they were in Texas in early 1862, because we have record of their marriage in the spring of that year in Henderson County Texas.

Also we know that by 1870, Anderson Moore acquired over 160 acres of land, and began to farm.

It is not known how Anderson acquired his acreage, but we do know through the Henderson County Tax Rolls, that he continued to pay Taxes on this land up until the early 1880's.

Anderson and Lucinda Moore are known to be the founders of what is now called Moore Station. These two early pioneers after the birth of their third daughter Joesphine, in the year of 1876, decided to donate a parcel of his own land, for the purposes of worship and education. This plot of land became a Methodist church and a school, and this church and school is what made up the whole of Moore Station in 1876. ] Texas, Land Title Abstracts,1700-2008
