I'm in catch up mode this weekend Bill. Not sure how I got left behind with your family story, and what a story it is. It would have been a lovely surprise to find Clement as part of his family. I would love to think that children might gather around my grave after I've gone. He left a great legacy.
I’m with you - our tattered copy says it was written by your kin, and I’ll stick with that hehe tho the other poem is charming, as well. 🎅🏻
Thanks for sharing this piece of your family history. I think a lot of us have stories about connections to famous folks that we sort of wink and nod away rather than track down, one way or the other. I’m glad you were tenacious!
Thank you. This is a recent discovery. We had joked that he might be related, but there are so many people with Moore as a surname that we didn't think it would ever be proved.

What a fabulous legacy that is. Nice to see the portraits of Clement and Catherine as well.
Love the poems Bill!
Our ancestors were much more creative than we are. Possibly because they didn’t have television or computers.
What a fun legacy and a story to tell the kids every Christmas! 🎄
