His father, James Moore, came to Logan Co. in 1805, and bought the farm wh ich Isaac N. now owns. It was then all a pathless wood; the Indian camp fi res gleaming along the banks of the Miami was all that could be seen of hu man activity. One evening he counted thirteen from his cabin door.

He also built the first grist mill in this part of the county, where the I ndians often purchased flour, often as high as a thousand pounds atone tim e. James Moore died when his son Isaac was 11 Years of age. He and his t wo elder brothers carried on and improved the farm. They bought out the ir sisters' interests and supported their aged mother. When they divid ed up Isaac N. received for his share 105 acres.
