[109]. From Risdon Marshall Moore of San Antonio, Texas, the following information is gathered: His father, Jonathan Moore, a brother of the Captain, was a private in this company. The grandfather, Risdon Moore, was Speaker of the Territorial Legislature of Illinois in 1814 and in 1822 signed the celebrated protest against slavery.
Capt. William Moore, besides being a member of the Ninth and Tenth General Assemblies, occupied many positions of prominence. See also “Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois.”
[110]. This roster will be found to materially differ from the “Record of the Services of Illinois Soldiers,” published by the Adjutant General in 1882, which is shamefully inaccurate in many particulars. I fortunately came into possession of the original “rank roll,” so called, made by General Whiteside and Maj. Buckmaster, which has permitted me to be accurate.
