Moore County was created by an Act of the Tennessee Legislature
December 1871, and was named to honor General William Moore.
Born in Kentucky in 1786, he settled on Mulberry Creek circa
1806. Captain in the War of 1812 and the Creek Indian Wars, and
Militia Major, Moore served four terms in the State Legislature
and was named State Adjutant General in 1840. He died on 10
March 1871, and was buried in Moore Cemetery, in Lincoln
County.
