Moore Farmhouse, Double Run

Leon Calhoun writes: Herman Moore & later his son Jack Moore lived in this house in the 1940’s & 1960’s. Diane Gilbert confirms: This house did indeed belong to Herman Moore (my Grandfather…..aka “Bigdaddy”). In the early years, he lived there with my Bigmama….. aka Beulah Moore, and their 3 children…..Jack, Leo, and Mogene. Later on, he built and lived in the house shown and titled as “Abandoned Farm Truck”, and my uncle Jack lived in this house until his death.

The house also has a very nice vernacular fireplace surround and mantel, probably built by Mr. Moore.

Where some may pass by and see an old shack, I see the home it once was.

    Yes, the above info is correct. This house did indeed belong to Herman Moore (my Grandfather…..aka “Bigdaddy”). In the early years, he lived there with my Bigmama….. aka Beulah Moore, and their 3 children…..Jack, Leo, and Mogene. Later on, he built and lived in the house shown and titled as “Abandoned Farm Truck”, and my uncle Jack lived in this house until his death.

    Hi Brian,

    I am a genealogical researcher and was intrigued by a show on AHC regarding the Honjo Masamune sword. The sword was given to “Coldy Bimore” (phonetic spelling), and a potential identification of this person is D.B. Moore, of Wilcox County Georgia. (See Wiki entry for Coldy Bimore.) Census records identify as D. B. Moore (also Dave B. Moore) from Double Run. Maybe this house is attached to a potential treasure hunt for Japan’s greatest sword?

      I believe the D.B. Moore you are referring to may very well be my great uncle whose name was David Moore, but was known as “Hank Moore”. I have no knowledge of any sword, but I do know that Uncle Hank was a soldier in WWI….I heard him speak of it many times.
