Jackie,
I would like to know if you have run across any baptism listings including John Moore (could be spelled Mooers also) and his daughter Fanny (or Fannie). Rev. John P. Williamson made reference to that they were previously bapized in "Personal Memorandum, by Rev. John P. Williamson, Late Missionary to Dakota Indians". His entry of Oct. 13, 1871, Wakpaipaksan, states,"On the same day John Moore and daughter, both formerly bapized, the former by profession of faith and the latter in infancy, were received to the church."
Thanks,
William Beane
Flandreau

On page 216 of through Dakota Eyes, is mention of a John Moores who was a friend of thomas Robinson(h/o Mary jane Wakute), and they were neighbors farming in Hope township, Lincoln County(the book doesn't say if this is in Minnesota or south Dakota or where).
Is this who you are looking for?

The John Moore mentioned in "Through Dakota Eyes" on page 216 and married to Thomas Robinson's sister is buried in the Flandreau Indian Cemetery a little north of Flandreau, SD. They lived in between Lake Benton and Tyler, Minnesota in an area called Indian Grove. I have a pcture of his headstone that states he was a US Scout born in Minnesota in 1828. I also have a picture of Thomas Robinson's headstone. He was buried in Indian Grove on a farm. His headstone is in a cornfield between Tyler and Lake Benton. John Moore's died from blood poisoning from an infected tooth (History of Lincoln County). His daughter Fanny was said to have been married 11 times. (History of Lincoln County). I have hard copies of these references and you can email me at iowan1999@yahoo.com if you would like me to send you copies.

Thanks, William Beane Flandreau I am thinking this John Moores is the son of Hazen Moores and the step brother of Jane Robertson. Although the Robertson children refer to him as Uncle John and they lived very close with the Moore family, he was not blood related to them. If I remember correctly in through Dakota Eyes it says that he married the sister of his friend Thomas Robinson. Therefore I "without proof" believed that when Samuel Robertson/Robinson/Hoffman, showed in the household of John Moores as a nephew it was as a nephew of his wife. |

www.mooers-law.com/MooersMemoirsAutumn1998.pdfmentions the mother of John Moores. this is a great find Tamara. Yes you are right, that the John mentioned is the son of Hazen Mooers and mary Wakanhditowin. John's wife's name was mary Nagiyhewin. He did have a daughter named Fannie, a grandchild named Oliver Henry aka Wicayahdetowin, and granddaughter Lucinda Henry. He also had a cousin named Sam Robertson. John Mooers was born @1828 in Minnesota. According to Minn. Hist. society handout, his half sister Jane Ann Mooers(1836-1864) lived with him at the Lower Agency.
