- Joseph Moore was a cousin of Scienda Moore, the wife of Isaac Newton Bassett.
Joseph and Margaret Moore had a farm in Kentucky near the Ohio River.
Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
My Aunt Sarah was married to Mathew Thomson and settled on a farm just west of my father's adjoining it and extending to Kinniconick west. The Thompson family was an old Virginia family. There were, besides Matthew, four brothers, John, William, Alexander and Milton, all who lived not far from my father's in Kentucky. My Aunt Sarah had a very large family. The oldest was Margaret, who married Joseph Moore (a cousin of Scienda Moore, my first wife). He had a very good farm in Kentucky on the Ohio river, west of my father's farm, two or three miles. Joseph Moore and Margaret died there, the latter about 1870, the former about 1883. But the exact years I cannot state. They left one son, Foster, who is living on the old farm and has a very nice family of daughters some of whom are married. They - Margaret and Joseph - left one daughter who married a man named Honecker and who lives in Greenup or Carter, Co, Kentucky.
