    William died in 1900.  Izella's application for a Confederate widow's pension also gives us her date of marriage to WIlliam Greenberry Moore and also basic vital information on William.  Since Izella married William Moore in August 1864, we can say that Robert Moore died between the birth of Mary in August 1861 and August 1864.

    In 1920 Izella was reported as head of the household withher sone C M in the home with her.  Her reported age matches her information, but son is reported here as age 34, which would mean he was born about 1885.  But in 1870 Calvin was already 4 years old.

    1920 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 28 January, Justice Precinct 1, District 60, page 7B, Hse #107, Fam #109
    Moore, Mrs I M  Head Owns F W 79 Widow IL AL AL No Occupation [b abt 1840]
    Moore, C M Son 34 TX US IL Farmer [b abt 1885]

    After locating this 1920 census, the 1910 turned up, and correctly reports Izella (Isilla) as a widow, age 68.  Here the matching indiviual to C M is named Charles, age 24.  Her son Calvin is the head of the household in 1910, age 44 (born about 1866) , with Isilla reported as his mother.  Charles was a later child,  The 1880 census has not yet been found.  They were in Elk, Beckham County, Oklahoma, probably with relatrives there after William Moore died in 1900.
