George Washington and Frances Moore left Kentucky in 1875 to join his parents on the Pinellas Peninsula and built their home just east of Stevenson Creek beside his parents' land. George, a blacksmith and machinist, and Fanny raised five children while growing vegetables, cultivating citrus and other fruits, and keeping cattle and hogs that roamed freely. As cotton in Pinellas during the 1870s gave way to citrus groves, the Moores became among the first in the region to grow oranges and grapefruit, and after the Orange Belt Railway arrived in 1888 they could ship citrus quickly from their packing plants to distant markets. Their agribusiness prospered until they sold the land in 1910, and citrus continued to be grown there until the late 1970s. In 1887 George Washington Moore went to Tampa on business, contracted yellow fever, and died; the mosquito-borne disease devastated many Florida communities during the 1880s, though the Pinellas Peninsula avoided an outbreak because of its sparse population and geographic isolation. The family's legacy continued through daughter Effie, who married into the Duncan family of the Largo area, and through son Moffett, a prominent Dunedin businessman involved in ventures ranging from a feed store and ice cream shop to ice delivery, cemetery operation, cement block making, cigar box manufacturing, real estate, and local history. Their native pine house, originally a two-room farmhouse with full front and back porches later altered with added rooms, reflects the late nineteenth-century Florida Cracker style and the Gulf Coast Cottage tradition of the Deep South.
