Second generation of Moores in America
Glenwood, Iowa, Feb. 3, 1908
TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES,
Whoever you may be:
This letter may come to you as a surprise but it contains nothing startling and may be of some interest to you, so please read it through before casting it aside. It is intended as a greeting, a bit of family history, and a suggestion, and is sent with the hope that you will accept the greeting, find some interest in the history, and act upon the suggestion without delay.
If you are a representative of the Moore family that a few years ago lived in the vicinity of Villisca, Iowa, this is intended for you whether your name is Moore, or Less, or something else, and its purpose is to hunt out all the relatives of that family and ascertain, if possible, who and where we are today.

The family is of Irish descent and the name Moore was derived from the word moor and came into use as a family name to distinguish a family that lived upon the moor from one of the same name living upon the hill or in the woods. We know but little about the early history of the family and even that has come to us in somewhat of the legendary form. We have heard of one James Moore, the young of two sons of an Irish nobleman As the elder son inherited the estate and title of the father, the young son was placed into the army, as was the custom in that country. Having some trouble with his superior officers, he deserted and came to American. This was prior to the Revolutionary war, and we have heard that he took part in that struggle for l;liberty. he had but one son, also named James, who .....
