David Moore was a blacksmith and farmer from NewYork and Ohio. Mooers is the Scotch-Irish spelling.
MOOERS, DAVID, one of the most industrious and energetic citizens of Knox Co., and prominent for his skill in the business he conducts, is David Mooers. He is among the most thorough and adroit of his trade and calling, which is that of a blacksmith and farmer. This latter branch he conducts on section 9 of Rio Township, where his pleasant home stands.
The gentleman in question was born in Franklin Co, OH, May 8, 1820 from which part of the country he went, at the age of 15, to Genesee Co, N.Y. Here he lived for five years, with his uncle and others of his own blood, and from this point came to Licking Co, OH. In this section of the country he served as an apprentice to the trade of blacksmithing, which he has followed in connection with his agricultural pursuits, nearly ever since. On coming from Genesee County he settled in Rio Township, on land purchased in 1843, which included 80 acres, and was located on section 9. He is now the owner of 80 acres, besides a small timber lot of 5 acres.
Mr. Mooers, on the 3rd of Oct., 1844, united in matrimony with Harriet Bragg, who was born in Southern Virginia, April 25, 1820, and the result of this union was four children, all of whom are dead: Loammi, Mary A. Frances, and Elias B. Elias departed this life May 31, 1875, in the full flush and vigor of healthful manhood, having reached the age of 26 years. Besides his own family, he left to mourn his loss a wife, whose maiden name was Josephine Epperson, daughter of Samuel Epperson. Elias was the only one who lived to attain manhood, the other children all dying in infancy.
Mrs. Mooers is the daughter of Elias and Polly (Bryant) Bragg. They were natives of Virginia, as likewise their fathers before them. The grandfather of Mrs. M., Mr. Bryant, was in the War of Independence, under the immediate command of Gen. Washington, and for a time acted as his Private Secretary. Her father, Elias Bragg, was an officer in the War of 1812. He was a cousin of Gen. Bragg, of the late Civil War.
The parents of Mr. Mooers were Loammi and Maria A. ( Bartlett) Mooers. On the paternal side Mr. M., is of Scotch Irish origin, and on the maternal side of English ancestry. The father of Mr. Mooers, Loammi, was in the War of 1812, serving in the capacity of fife major. His father, David Mooers, was Inspector of the Springfield gun factory during the War of 1812. Jacob Swain, the great-grandfather of Mr. Mooers, was one of the Minute Men, of Revolutionary times.
Mr. Mooers, of this sketch, is a man of sound practical judgment and logical common sense, and is well liked for his straightforward and trite dealings with his patrons and friends. He is upright in business transactions and respected for his integrity and honesty of character. He is a member of the Odd Fellows’ Fraternity, and affiliates with the Democratic party, with which he is politically identified.
