Moore Cemetery is the final resting place for thirty-seven members of the Moore family. John Moore, son of American Revolutionary War patriot and Battle of Charleston POW Obadiah Moore, purchased this land on September 4, 1834. The Moore family migrated from Princess Anne County, Virginia, to Pitt County, North Carolina, and then to Columbia and Jasper Counties in Georgia, where they lived about 30 years before settling in the Chestnut Creek area of Autauga County in 1819. These early settlers served their community as ministers, postmasters, and a justice of the peace. Obadiah Moore is buried here along with Civil War veterans Moses Moore and Hansford Chitty, who both served with the CSA 59th Alabama Infantry.
