The below was provided by Len Moore, Wilkes County, North Carolina:
There has been some disagreement over whether Wesley Moore's first name was John or James. Census records list him as James, while both his death certificate and his obituary use the name John. Regardless of his true first name, he usually went by his middle name, Wesley, and that is the name that will be used in this history.
Wesley Moore grew up into manhood in Wilkes County at the Brushy Mountain Township, and he became a farmer, like his farther and grandfather before him. His military records describe him as 5' 10" with fair complexion, blue eyes, and black hair; in 1862, he could not write, as he signed his name with an "X" on a military document. On June 12, 1861 at the age of 20, he volunteered for the Confederate Army at Wilkesboro (Wilkes County) to fight for the south in the Civil War, enlisting in Company C, 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment. The sate of North Carolina was the last of the states to secede from the Union, on May 20, 1861, and Wesley promptly joined, just 23 days later.
Company C, known as the "Wilkes Volunteers", was raised in Wilkes County and enlisted at Wilkesboro, departing from there on July 8, 1861 and arriving in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 12; there, the company was ordered to the Crabtree instructional camp (3 miles west of Raleigh) called Camp Carolina, and formed into the 26th North Carolina Regiment under General Lawrence O Bryant (a former North Carolina congressman, later killed by a sniper at the Battle of Antietam), with Zebulon B. Vance (later, in 1862, to be elected the first and only governor of the Confederate sate of North Carolina) and Henry K. Burgwyn (at the age of 19, the youngest colonel in the Confederacy; killed at the Battle of Gettysburg in July, 1863) as the Regimental Colonels.
After leaving Raleigh on September 2, the regiment marched to Morehead City and then to the barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. The regimental camp, named Camp Burgwyn in honor of its youthful colonel, was set up six miles from Fork Macon on the long, narrow barrier island (Bogue Banks, south of Cape Hatteras) on the Atlantic Coast; later, on October 6, Camp Wilkes was established two miles from Fort Macon.
The regiment stayed on Bogue Banks through October and during most of November, the new recruits keeping busy with constant drill and guard duty. Outbreaks of measles and typhoid fever erupted in the wet, swampy, unsanitary camps, and many men died that winter, especially from the typhoid fever. The only incident worthy of note during that time was on November 3, when a Union steamer ran aground off the coast. Some of the men of the 26th North Carolina were sent out to salvage supplies from the wreck and were met with some shelling from nearby Federal gunboats; no casualties were sustained, but it was the green recruits' first taste of enemy fire. On November 28, the regiment moved back to the mainland and established winter quarters at Camp Vance, near Carolina City. They left there on January 26, 1862, and traveled by train to Camp Branch, four miles below New Bern, North Carolina, near the Neuse River. They pitched their tents and stayed until March, when the Battle of New Bern would force them out.
The 11,000 man Federal amphibious force under Union General Ambrose E. Burnside had assaulted the islands of the Outer Banks area in February and had taken Roanoke Island. Now, in early March of 1862, they were advancing up the Neuse River toward New Bern, intent upon taking that city and thereby controlling all of Albermarle Sound and the rivers that empty into it, plus the railroads nearby at Kinston. The Confederates were under the command of General Branch, and all he had at his disposal was 4,500 green troops, including Wesley Moore. Branch, in an attempt to prepare for Ambrose's coming assault, placed torpedoes (as floating mines were then called) in the river, as well as various sunken obstructions. But the Federal gunboats made it through with little difficulty, and Ambrose's troops landed just below New Bern and prepared to attack the entrenched Confederates in front of them.
But instead of experiencing his first Civil War combat, Wesley Moore was discharged two days before the battle, on March 12, 1862, "by reason of disability", according to his military records. It is not know for certain what his disability was, but it very well could have been a result of all the diseases spreading through the damp, filthy, swampy camps that winter, most notably typhoid fever (contaminated water was another health problems in the camps) and measles. Wesley's military records indicated that he had been "absent on sick leave" in August of 1861, so he must have caught one of the diseases around that time. Later, he was "absent without leave" from September 28 to October, 1861 and again in November and part of December of that year. One reason may have been that he had not yet been paid for his service from the time of his enlistment to September28, 1861 (his pay stopped when he was reported absent without leave); another may have been the illness that might have eventually led to his disability.
Whatever the case, Wesley was discharged from the Confederate Army on March 12, 1862, appearing "on a Roll of Honor" from the 26th North Carolina Regiment, which apparently was an honorable discharge. He was paid $38.86 for the three months (at $11.00 per month) owed him for 1861 and for "traveling allowance ... being furnished in kind" to Wilkes County.
In the Battle of New Bern that Wesley narrowly missed, General Branche's troops were routed by the Union forces and sent in a disorganized retreat through the town of New Bern. The 26th North Carolina later distinguished itself as a part of the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee in battles at Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and in the South's final hour at General Lee's surrender at the Appomattox Court House.
After Wesley returned home, four of his brothers, along with his cousin, Robert (son of Robert "Robin" Moore), enlisted in the Confederate Army.
Although Wesley returned home early in the war with his disability, life had to be difficult for him and his family as it was for most civilians in the Confederacy during the Civil War, in fact, that difficulty might have been the reason both he and his brothers had deserted to come home, as their families as well as their property was in dire need of protection. All semblance of Confederate government control had disappeared in the mountains of western North Carolina by 1864, most of the men of military age were either in the service or in hiding as deserters, So, in addition to plundering and raids by union troops moving through the area, "robbers and bushwhackers" became more violent and aggressive. The infamous Church brothers committed every type of crime possible, roaming almost at will in Wilkes County, and killing became frequent; it was reported that a state of anarchy existed in Wilkes County toward the end of the war.
As if the brutal harassment by the Union troops and outlaws was not enough, the Confederate War Department had men on horses from Longstreet's command "eat off the country". There were complaints from Wilkes County in 1863 that soldiers were "frequently plundering everything, driving off cattle, breaking open granaries, drinking, insulting citizens, and making themselves a terror to the whole population. " One resident wrote Governor Vance that the countryside was overrun with artillery and calvary horses, "consuming what little provisions are left. Scarcely a week passed without a new and hungrier group showing up." A witness described the movement of one particular calvary unit through western North Carolina: "The whole command (some seventeen or eighteen hundred men) just disbanded, and turned loose, to pillage the inhabitants, and thoroughly did they perform their work. It was nor merely stealing but open and above board highway robbery. They would enter houses, violently breaking open every door, and helping themselves to what suited their various fancies; not provisions only, but everything, from horses down to ladies' breast pins." The commanding officer reported that he did indeed regret the actions of his men, blaming their excesses on "the brandy which they found in many homes."
In March of 1865, as the Civil War was winding down to an end, Federal General George H. Stoneman's calvary left Tennessee for a raid through southwest Virginia and western North Carolina, his mission being to disrupt the railroads and supplies of that area while General William T. Sherman marched through eastern North Carolina and destroyed everything else. On March 29, 1865, Stoneman's calvary troops arrived at Wilkesboro, "carrying off all the horses and mules, and burning the factories." Several houses were seized as headquarters for the offices, and widespread stealing and plundering of the town and surrounding area began once again. Some Union calvary deserters stayed active in the area even after the war, forming outlaw gangs that continued to harass the local citizens. In Wilkes County, a lawless band led by two desperate men named Wade and Simms terrorized the countryside for some time after the Civil War had ended.
Life was not to be much easier after the war. As a part of the Reconstruction policy following the Civil War, and as an attempt to severely punish the states for seceding from the Union, a new tenancy system was initiated in North Carolina, whereby farmers were forced to give up their lands to tenants, many of them newly-frees slaves. So it is probable that Wesley, his father, Jesse, and the rest of the Moore's lost what was left of their property (and what had not been destroyed) in Wilkes County in the late 1860's. They most likely could continue to make their livings as farmers, but not on their on farmland, which had to be humiliating and demoralizing for them.
Either because of their loss of land, or because of the destruction of the area by the war, or because the simply wanted to move on to new opportunities, Wesley and his brother Riley, moved to Saint Francois County. Missouri, in the late 1860's. Riley settled down in Knob Lick (near Libertyville, where his uncle James Wesley Moore, had been established since 1820's), while Wesley farmed in the Hazel Run area east of Bonne Terre.
In August of 1869, Wesley married Eliza Olivine Blankenship. Eliza's father, Hampton, a farmer, was born on August 6, 1827 in Rutherford County, North Carolina; Hampton married Sarah "Sallie" Taylor on May 22,1847 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Sarah was born on September 22, 1827 at Golden Valley (20 miles southeast of Rutherfordton in Rutherford County), North Carlina. Her father Joseph Taylor, was born at Golden Valley on July 25, 1791; he died at Doe Run (Saint Francois County), Missouri, on March 6, 1859, and was buried in the cemetery at Doe Run Baptist Church.
Wesley and Eliza Moore may have lived in Mine La Motte (Madison County), Missouri, for a while, but they ended up living in Boone Terre in the Hazel Run area.
Wesley Moore, in addition to working as a farmer, was also Justice of the Peace and Overseer of Roads in Saint Francois County. Eliza died on September 5, 1907 in Saint Francois County. probably at their home near Bonne Terre, Wesley died in his sleep of heart failure on February 13, 1917 at the home of his son, Joseph Perry Moore, at Elvins (Saint Francois County, now incorporated into Park Hills, along with Flat River), Missouri. Both Wesley and Eliza Moore are buried at Marvin Chapel Cemetery, six miles east of Bonne Terre.

PIONEER CITIZEN DIES AT ELVINS TUESDAY
John Wesley Moore, aged 76, one of the pioneer citizens of St. Francois county, died suddenly from heart failure at the residence of his son, Perry, at Elvins Tuesday. He had been in his usual health at the time he retired, but when Mrs. Moore went to call him Wednesday morning, she was horrified to learn that he had passed away. An inquest was conducted by Coroner Prather, the verdict of the jury being that death was due to heart failure.
Mr. Moore was born at Wilksborough, North Carolina, but moved to this county when only a small boy. He had lived most of his life in the Hazel Run neighborhood, but was widely known throughout the county.
The funeral was conducted Wednesday. Interment was made at Marvin Chapel cemetery. He is survived by six sons and three daughters, William, Lee, Perry, Eck, James and Kennett, Mrs. Richard Eaton, Mrs. J. W. Wallace and Mrs. T. L. Rogers.

By: Steve Dalton
Charles Lee, (or Lee, as he was known) Moore worked as a mine supervisor for the St. Joseph Lead Company. On July 24, 1892 he married Attie Viola Calvird at Flat River. Attie was born near Stanton (Franklin County), Missouri; it is said that she lived near Meremec Caverns and often played in the caves as a child.
Lee Moore went blind after his retirement from St. Joe Lead in the late 1920's or early 1930's, and he stayed that way for the last 30 years of his life. In the 1950's, Lee and Attie moved to Ecorse (Wayne County), Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, where their surviving children had moved earlier. There they spent the last days of their lives, living with their daughter, Laura Mae. Attie died on July 4, 1960 at Ecorse, while Lee died on December 7, 1960, also at Ecorse, just five months later. Both are buried at St. Francois Memorial (Gossoms) Cemetary just south of Bonne Terre, Missouri.
