The Moore and Grable families are one of the earliest settlers in rural West Bethlehem Township. 

Mary Moore (Grable) was born on May 19th, 1832 to parents Daniel Grable and Abigail McGinnis. Mary married Jonathan Moore in 1858. They had 5 sons and 3 daughters and lived in West Bethlehem township. Mary died in 1897 at age 65 and is buried at Highland Brethren Church. 

Jonathan Moore was born in 1832 to parents Abraham Moore and Susanna Moore (Garber). Abraham died in 1902. One of Jonathan's brothers, Michael G. Moore, died during the civil war at Andersonville prison, shortly after he married Lydia Ann Litzenburg; Michael is buried at Andersonville National Cemetery. 



More to come on this family.

 


Maybe our future doesn't have to be based upon the past.
