I read your query regarding Benjamin Moore with interest. I believe him to be my
gggrandfather. I have no actual date of his death, however, I do have a copy of a notice
in a Rockport (Spencer County) IN newspaper, dated Oct. 26, 1889, that reads: "Mr.
Benjamin Moore, said to be the oldest citizen of the county, probably the oldest in the
State, died at the residence of his son in Grass township last week. He was in the 107th
year of his age." Info regarding his actual age is iffy. I am searching for info
regarding his second wife, Elizabeth Dollins (my gggrandmother) and his parents. Thanks
for any info you can share. Betty Boone
