North Carolina State Archives,James Iredell Waddell Family Papers <br /> 1762-1919,PC87.4.2 <br /> Per gravestones in the Moorefields cemetery, the Cameron-Moore-Waddell allied families bore <br /> several losses in the two decades leading up to and through the Civil War.74 By 1870, Francis <br /> Nash Waddell, recently widowed, still presided over Moorefields. His household included Sarah <br /> "Sallie" Moore (aged 74 years) and his younger sons Frank, Jr. and Guion. Also living with him <br /> in 1870 were two of his granddaughters, the only surviving children of his daughter Rebecca <br /> Christina, who had died in 1861: Catherine "Kate" McQueen Cameron (1855-1950) and Mary <br /> Rebecca Cameron(1859-1952). By 1880, Moorefields included the elderly Waddell, described as <br /> a widower and retiree aged 83; Sallie Moore, described as Waddell's cousin; Guion; and Frank Jr. <br /> with his wife, Ivie, and their son, Charley.75 The second and third generations of the Moore- <br /> Waddell family finally succumbed in this decade. Waddell died in 1881 at the age of 85 and was <br /> buried at Moorefields. Sarah lived until 1888, achieving 93 years by the time of her death. With <br /> Section 8 page 32 <br />
