Samuel Moore married Alice Mendenhall, a Quaker, on May 25, 1802 in Grainger County, TN, moving to Ohio by 1804. Unlike his siblings, Samuel settled in Clinton County, near Todd's Creek near his in-laws, and helped to build the first cabin where Wilmington now stands. Two years later he removed to Miami County, and lived there during the War of 1812. He was personally acquainted with General William Henry Harrison, and was employed in transporting provisions to the army stationed in the northern part of the state, and was familiar with many of the scenes that transpired during the campaign. He removed to Wayne County in 1816, and resided in the vicinity of Economy nearly forty years. During the 1850-1852, Samuel moved to Grant County. He is noted in Quaker records as the father of Anderson Moore who married Rachel Lee in July 1852 at Back Creek MM in Grant County. Alice Mendenhall Moore is noted as deceased in the Back Creek MM notes. Samuel's Will states "I, Samuel Moore, of Grant County". Samuel apparently moved into Henry County by 1859 as New Castle, Henry County, IN, is where his Will was registered and probated.
