My GGG Grandfather, Walter Overton Moore was brother of Gov T.O. Moore and lived near Murfreesboro, TN,
I have seen correspondence between these brothers as well as their cousin James Moore King. J.M King and T.O. Moore wrote specificly about slaves and farming conditions and business. You may try cross referencing these two names. All I have seen has been packed away for years, but I will look around and let you if I find anything. Personally, I admire your interest and from what you've written here assume that you feel a familial connection to your ancestors' people. I think that was more often the case than the exception, as is the popular notion.
