Hello Robert,
It’s great finding out I have relatives out there. My father was Robert McKinney Moore , Jr.
born in Illinois on January 4, 1923. He passed on February 21, 1986. His father was Robert McKinney Moore, Sr. I called my grandfather PeePaw. My fathers mother was Beulah Mabel Johnson. His brother was William Thomas Moore.
I was an only child, born on May 29, 1944. My parents and grandparents lived in Hillcrest Heights, MD. I am now living in Waldorf, MD . I have three daughters, Debbie, Shelly and Christie, eight grandchildren, five great grandchildren, with another on the way in April. So, you have a lot of cousins at this end.
It would be nice if we could get together sometime.
I have pictures of my mom and dad and grandparents. I recently moved so it will take me some time to locate them.
I will keep intouch, cousin.
Sharon

I left this message also on Capt Richard Stewart Parks findagrave profile:
Regarding Capt Richard Stewart Parks (Find A Grave Memorial# 8423674). I found a few years ago in my grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s things a type of memo book, kind of like a high school year book, but spanning more time, written by Richard Park’s wife Elizabeth Malvina (Grayson) Parks. The entries started when she was young, then included when she was in high school, which also had entries by some of her friends and classmates. It also had entries from her parents, as well as her husband and children. Her husband Richard Parks wrote before he was going off to fight in the Civil War, that “I go off to fight for God and county”. There was even at least one sketch drawing in it, maybe done by Elizabeth Grayson herself.
How it ended up in my family I do not exactly know. I believe the the daughter of Elizabeth Grayson and Richard Parks, Emma Parks Morris, left this in Atlanta, GA sometime in 1939-1941. My grandmother and her half-sister owned a boarding home in 1940 and Emma Parks Morris listed as a boarder in a boarding house in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1940 US Census. It may have been the very boarding house that my grandmother operated.
I believe somehow she left that book behind, and maybe it was the idea that they would try to locate her but could not. I tried over the years to locate her descendants or family in Luray, Virginia but I could not.
Just two weeks ago I finally shipped it back to Luray, Virginia to a Rod Graves that operates a museum. After about 78 years Elizabeth Grayson’s personal book has made it back home. I did not think of posting a message here to try and locate any of her descendants, but nonetheless the book can now be found in her home town of Luray, Virginia. Anyone wishing to reach me can e-mail me at wsmclaughlin@hotmail.com
