The story is that they were killed on their honeymoon in Georgia.
Charity Gore was the sister of John Bunyan Gore of Columbus Co. NC (great-great grandfather of Peggy Callihan and Beverly Cole).The following item was published in "The North Carolinian", a weekly newspaper in Fayetteville, NC, in an issue dated 11 January 1851. The article reports the apparent murder of Charity Gore Moore, wife of Duren Moore, of Brunswick County, NC. The Fayetteville paper reprinted the item from "The Augusta Chronicle" of Augusta, Georgia, issue dated 15 Dec 1850. Reference to the date "about the 1st instant" would be 01 December 1850."A Most Cruel Murder ----- A man by the name of James Williams of notoriously bad character, was today arrested in Hamburg, South Carolina, at the instance of two citizens of Thomas County, Georgia, McLendon and James, charged with the murder in Thomas County, about the 1st instant, of a young man and woman, supposed to be husband and wife, and from papers found about them, to be named Durin Moore and Charity Gore, (probably her name before marriage,) from Brunswick County, North Carolina, who were moving to Florida in a one-horse wagon, with a white cover, drawn by a fine gray mare.Williams was immediately after his arrest delivered to the officers in this city, and taken before Justice Allen, who committed him to jail to await his trial.From the evidence before the magistrate and other sources, we learn that Williams left Hamburg some weeks ago, and passed through this city with them; was seen with them in Thomasville, Thomas county, on their way; and a day or two after they passed through Thomasville, he returned there in possession of the mare and a double-barrelled gun, which he there swopped off. A few days after, persons answering their description were found in their night clothes in the wagon, about half a mile from the road, murdered by blows on the head --- probably inflicted with an axe. The motive for the act is supposed to have been to rob them, which was done.The citizens of Thomas county, immediately after the discovery of the dead bodies, promptly raised a fund, and dispatched Messrs McLendon and James in pursuit of Williams, who traced him to Hamburg.Augusta (Ga.)
