Notes:

Related in the journal written by his granddaughter, Mary Ann "Nona" Stricker, "Texas Girlhood, she writes, "Years earlier her father (Runie, her mother) had returned home to Alabama from four years of fighting for the South to find his wife dead and his children scattered - he long knew not where. A lasting injury, suffered when his abdomen was pierced by a saddle horn during a cavalry charge, added to his woes. But he gathered the pieces of his broken heart and health, and with a characteristic masculine capacity for recovery rushed off to Texas and into a second marriage. Soon he had added to his adventure two more children and a divorce."

Note, no census records record him in Alabama. His first wife did die, and from census records, it appears he was in Texas. He did remarry and lived in Harris County near his 2nd wife's extended family, along with children from the first marriage. Unknown where this misinformation generated.

The journal continues...
"Undaunted either by age, ill health, or by previous matrimony catastrophe, and perhaps impelled by a fear of an approaching old age unsoftened by feminine companionship, William Moore went in search of a third wife. It wasn't long before he met and married Grandma (Mary Madden Jones Norton),a childless widow of thirty-six who had spent the Civil War years mothering several orphaned brothers and sisters."

I think I may have a breakthrough on William Calhoun Moore's ancestors, too, using some of the information you had sent to me. I eliminated the notion about Zachary Taylor this afternoon, but used his supposed kinswoman to find the proper family for her. Phillis Taylor, born in 1754, married Joshua Moore, and their son Samuel is William Calhoun's father, it looks like that at any rate. The family was all born in Delaware, then packed up and moved to Georgia. Phillis' grandfather was William Taylor of Somerset, Md. (died by Oct. 1773); Joshua's parents are Joshua Moore and Temperence Wailes.

At least, that's what this more plausible genealogical chart looks like. It comes with copious notes, and the notes are very confusing and use several varieties of enumeration, and I'm still trying to sort that out. These charts don't PROVE anything, of course, but is makes no claim to important people, includes much of a family that was already in that Rogers family tree on rootsweb (but the date errors are gone). Nothing has been proved, with this new genealogy, but one census record for William C. Moore did indicate that his father was born in Delaware. That sounded like a mistake to me, but I tucked it into a cubby hole in my brain as a possible clue. :)

Here is the web page. I'm sure you want to see it!

Hi Sherry,

(from Paula)
His wife had died in '64, she was last known to be in Texas, having had a child in 1863 in Texas. Had she moved to Alabama with the children while he was in the war? What was the connection to Alabama? He was from Georgia and she from Mississippi; but their first child was born in Texas 1851.

Whatever the facts that had played out about 'Alabama' seem to not be known now, but he obviously did find his children as they were all livng with him and his 2nd wife by the 1870 census in Harris county. He had married her in 1866.

Subject: sleuthing

Dear Sherry,
I have been doing some more sleuthing around the subject of what happened to the children of William Calhoun Moore and Eliza Green Moore during and just after the Civil War. You may recall that I am the great great grandaughter of them, and the great grandaughter of Stella Moore. I have never been able to find Stella on a census after 1860 (when she was almost 1) and before 1900.

I know that William was living with his sister, Ann America Moore Kelly, in Grimes County, Texas in 1850 as he appears on that census.
I know that Eliza and William were married in Matagorda Texas in 1851, and I have obtained a copy of the not very informative marriage license of theirs.
I know that they were living, with 4 children, in Marlin, Falls County, Texas for the 1860 census.
I know that William Calhoun joined the 13th Texas Cavalry (Edwin Waller Jr) and Company B (Hightower) of the CSA, and that when he returned to Texas after the war, his wife, Eliza, was dead, and his children were scattered around.
From Runie's writing, we know that he went to look for them in Alabama, even though he was from Georgia and Eliza was from Mississippi.
And we know that he found them somehow, and brought them back with him and a new wife to Marlin.

Well, I was working on my grandmother, Stella's daughter, and uncovered a marriage license for her, where Stella's maiden name was listed as Taliaferro. My grandmother had always told me that 'we were Tolevers', but I could never figure out why she thought that. Tolever, of course, was an Americanization of the Italian name Taliaferro, and no one had ever said we were Italian. My grandmother staunchly believed we were Irish and German (the German being Olenbush, my great grandfather).

So how, then, could Stella have had a maiden name of Taliaferro? Well I found a census from Navasota, Grimes County, Texas (see above), listing a Taliaferro family with a daughter named Stella, who was the same age as my Stella would have been. That was the census of 1870. She was not with the family in 1860, nor in 1880, and I can't find a record of her birth or death as a Taliaferro. So I am wondering if that might be my great grandmother, and perhaps she was 'adopted' during the war years by a family near to William Moore's sister's place in Grimes County.

Of course, I will have to keep sleuthing and uncover some more sources that point this way. It may all be speculation on my part, but it's the closest I have come to an explanation of the mystery.

That is my update for now. If you have any information or thoughts about how I can cross-verify or disprove this, do let me know.

And have a wonderful summer!
Best,

Hi Sherry,
I have been communicating with a fellow named Scott. He gave me access to his family tree, where he had Stella Taliaferro listed. I found this message in his records. It dates from 2011:

"email from Aunt LaDoris..... I recently discovered that Stella Taliaferro, was the adopted daughter of Cowper Shelton Taliaferro and Anna Rebecca DeBerry. Her name prior to adoption was Moore. 1870 census indicates she was 10 years old, indicating her probably birth as 1860. This information has not been documented by me. Do you have additional information to share on Stella Moore-Taliaferro?"


and I just responded to him with this information:

"Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for allowing me access to your family tree. I have been researching tonight and found this old message there:

"email from Aunt LaDoris..... I recently discovered that Stella Taliaferro, was the adopted daughter of Cowper Shelton Taliaferro and Anna Rebecca DeBerry. Her name prior to adoption was Moore. 1870 census indicates she was 10 years old, indicating her probably birth as 1860. This information has not been documented by me. Do you have additional information to share on Stella Moore-Taliaferro?'

Since my great grandmother, Stella, was the daughter of Eliza and William Calhoun Moore, I think we have a fit! I am so excited, and hope that we might work together to piece the story of her life together. She was born in 1859/60 to Eliza Green, about whom I know little, and William Calhoun Moore, who came from Georgia. His sister, Ann America Moore, had married a Kelley also from Georgia, and was living in Grimes County. William went to live with his sister when he was 19, in 1850 and was recorded on the census then in Texas. In 1855 he married Eliza, and they moved to Marlin, Falls County, where they had 4 children and were living in 1860. He mustered out of Marlin, leaving his wife and children behind. He fought in Hightower's Company B of Waller's 13th Texas Cavalry on the western bank of the river in Louisiana (battle of bonne carre, for example). When he returned to Marlin, his wife had died (I don't know how), and his children had been scattered. He found them, and brought them back to Marlin, where Stella was married in 1879 to Hiram Hunnicutt. Hiram died about 2 years later, but not before Stella gave birth to a son, Hiram Lee Hunnicutt. Stella then disappeared for a few years, and eventually married my great grandfather, Rudolph Olenbush, in Waco. They moved to San Antonio, where they lived, and then Houston. They had four children. Hiram Lee left the household to fight in the Sp American war, and changed his name back to Hunnicutt from Olenbush. He seems never to have returned. There is an Albert Olenbush buried in Marlin, who died in 1892, and lived for only 4 years...I assume that was another of Stella's children. My own grandmother, Nina, was an accomplished musician and seamstress, and I understand that Stella was an excellent dressmaker.

If you have other information about Stella, I would be so very grateful to learn of her years with the Taliaferro family. Thank you so much!
Best,
Roccie Hill"

Notes:

Died:
Might have died before 1920 as he was not listed in the 1920 census record. Would have been 13, a bit young to have left home.

Notes:

If dates are entered correctly, Walter is too old to be the child of either Henry or Runie (census transcribers say "Rosie). If Walter is indeed 9. Henry is 20, and Runie is 19. However, Runie does list one birth, one living, but no child is listed that would fit.
This record has set him as "adopted" until something clears this up. perhaps they meant 9 months?

Birth:
Census record shows born in 1890 (or 1891 as scratched thru) and age 9 in 1900; however both parents would have been about 10 yrs old. Surmised that "9" meant nine months.
A note from Paula Deming, whose husband Kris Banard descended from this line, contacted me (13 Apr 2011) and stated he was born 1900 and died in 1902. So, the "9" was nine months.

Died:

Written of little Walter Stricker by his sister in her journal, "Before little Walter was three, his tiny life was snuffed out by diptheria. There were no antitoxin in Calvert, nor any infallible medical diagnostician. So, after three weeks of "sore throat and tonsillitis," as he lay in Mama's arms one early morning just before dawn, death took him from her."
