Carry Amelia Moore born 25 Nov 1846, Garrard Co, KY, died 9 Jun 1911,Levenworth, KS in a sanitarium. Parents are George Moore and Mary Campbell. She wasthe oldest of four girls and two boys.
In 1855 George Moore moved his family to Cass Co, MO, near Belton. When the Civil War threatened, he moved his family and slaves to TX. George Moore was once a wealthy man. The move to TX, killed most his slaves with tyhoid and someing eles his horses and mules. He freed the remaining slaves and traded the carriage for supplies to return to Cass Co, MO, in poverty.George and Mary Moore are buried in Belton, Cass Co, MO.
Carry married Dr. Charles Gloyd in 1867. They had two daughters. One died as a
infant in Holden, MO., the other was Charlein. Dr. Gloyd died when Charlein was a infant, he was a alcoholic. He is buried in Holden, MO.
Carry was a teacher in Holden, Mo., for four years. She meet David Nation, he
was City Attorney of Holden 1868-1870. They were married 30 Dec 1877. This marriage
was for convenience for Carry, 30 and David 49. No children where born to them.
Carry belived the death of her infant daughter and Charlien’s affliction was due to
Dr. Gloyds excessive drinking. Charlien was in and out of institution in TX, she suffer
from mental illness. Charlien Gloyd did married Alexander McNabb in TX and had five
children.
Carry’s mother belived she was Queen Victoria of England and died 1893 in
mental institution in MO. One Aunt during certain lunar phases got on the roof and
thought she was a weather vane. One cousin at age forty returned to all fours. So I’m not
sure Charlien got this all from her father.
