Notes for John Henry Moore:
John Henry Moore aka Jules David Bridgewater.
John Henry Moore left home at about 17 or 18 because he got into trouble writing hot checks.He left his family a suicide note because he thought it was the only way out.Years later at a fair in Shreveport, LA., his father - James Harvey Moore & his brother, Robert Lee Moore - ran into him and of course, they recognized him.He first tried to deny that it was him, but then he admitted that it was.He was married and already had several children.He'd changed his last name to Bridgewater.Supposedly, when he was contemplating suicide - he was standing on a bridge, and he got the idea or changing his name and disappearing - that's how he came up with Bridgewater.Anyways - he and his family moved back to Texas - later residing in Mt.Enterprise, Rusk, Tx.- and he changed their name back to Moore.
John Henry and his wife, Fannie Mae Hudman later divorced, and she remarried to Ed Gatlin.I'm told by Gayle that she and Ed let John Henry live with them.Fannie Mae is buried next to John Henry at Shiloh Cemetery in Rusk County, Texas.
