John Moore owned land that was located in the western part of Mobile County near the present day Tanner-Williams Rd. His original land claim which was legally purchase was disputed by the railroad and was subsequently part of litigation which saw his living heirs receive payment for the homestead of 1846. His land, was not "returned" to his heirs until 1895. Additional Information: William Deakle that J W. Moore mentions in the letters from the battlefield was his neighbor.
