I am trying to collect information on the ancestors of one Sidney Roy Moffett. He was originally from La Salle County, Texas. He married Alma Tarver and they moved to Dilley, Frio County, Texas. They had two sons:
Sidney Roy Moffett, Jr.
Clyde Tarver Moffett.
I would appreciate any information that anyone might have.

I was reviewing some geneaology sites and noticed your
question. As it happens, my mother, whose Uncle is the
Sidney Roy Moffett of whom you wrote, is visiting me
this week. So she and I will answer your question.
Sidney Roy Moffett, better known in the family, as
Sid or Big Sid or Uncle Sid, was the fifth child of
Franklin Sims Moffett and Louella Jacobs Moffett. He had
4 brothers, Arch Alonzo, who was my grandfather, Rev. William Charles Moffett, A Baptist Minister, Jesse Franklin Moffett, and Theodore Edwin Moffett; He also had one sister,
Rosa (Mrs. J.H. Baugh).

His father, Franklin Sims, was a native of Missippi, who moved to Texas at the age of 14. In 1881 he married Miss Louella Jacobs, for whom both my mother, Louella Grace Moffett Vine and myself, Louella Grace Vine Wetherbee, are named.

In 1886, he established a ranch on the Cibolo Section of LaSalle County. He was a leader in his community and was founder and trustee of the Moffett School District created for the Northwestern section of LaSalle County in 1927.

Uncle Sid was educated, according to my Mother, at the ranch. He served in the armed forces in France during World War I. He married Alma Tarver, from Cotulla, LaSalle Co., daughter of W. A. and Mattie Tarver, in 1923. They had two sons, Sidney Roy, Jr., and Clyde Tarver. Tarver was killed in Mexico in an auto accident in the late 40's or early 50's. Sid Jr., died in 1992 (we think that is correct.)

He was engaged in farming and ranching in LaSalle County for his entire life. He and Alma moved into Dilley and lived there until he died in the early 70's. Alma, who taught school for 50 years, dies in 1983.

We hope this information is helpful in your geneaological research.
