He was born into a family of Scots-Irish Presbyterians, the third son of Anthony Moore and Nancy Paxton Holt. During the Civil War, Joseph, his brother, Jeremiah, and their father stood with the Union, while two other brothers, William Smith Moore of Arkansas and Charles Moore of Tusculum, chose the South.
The family included four sisters--Lucy Jane, Elizabeth (Betsey), Margaret, and an earlier Elizabeth who died at twelve months. Charles also died early, the result of a mortal wound at Chickamauga.
Like his father and other ancestors, Joseph became a farmer and, in 1873, he married Martha Jane Ross of Tusculum. They had four children before moving to Canehill (first known as Boonsboro and finally as Cane Hill), Arkansas, where five more children were born.
Their home, known as the Joseph Holt Moore House, remained in the family for more than 125 years and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with historic Cane Hill itself.
