- Father: Richard A J Moore, deceased

- What was her name? Lydia Tubb, married a Moore

- Do you know whether any of your ancestors were ever recognized members of the Choctaw tribe of Indians? Well George Tubb was, from the records handed down from my generations; I have an uncle who is eighty years old, and he knew George Tubb and he said he knew him to be a part Indian, and that he knew his Indian name.
- What is the name of that uncle? Aaron J Moore
- Is he the identical A J Moore whose affidavit was submitted here yesterday in the case of William A Moore at all? Yes sir.

- Do you speak or understand the Choctaw language? No sir.
- Any further statements? I want my case consolidated with the Ikard case.
