These excerpts from 266John Moore's will proves that 133Morning is his daughter. Full page.2

133Morning married 132Rice Price in Johnston County, North Carolina in 1795.3 For more information about their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since most of that information won't be repeated here. (In particular, though, notice that in 1805 133Morning was named as an heir of Edward Moore,4 whose relationship to 133Morning is uncertain.)

By 1850 133Morning was a widow in miltia district 92 (map), Washington County, Georgia. Her daughter Oliph, noted as mentally handicapped, was living with her, along with a few other people.1

I've found these probate records for 133Morning's (and 132Rice's) estate, all from Washington County:

•	Estate returns book G (1866-1878), page 113. I discuss this return at some length on their son 66 Moore's page.
•	Inventories and appraisements book A (1846-1862), page 408. Items mentioned include cattle, hogs, a blind mare, a grindstone, and a shotgun. The index claims that 133Morning's inventory is on page 308, but it's actually 408.
•	Sales book C, page 135 lists the sales of 132Rice's property. The sales included a loom, which I don't see in the inventory.
•	Vouchers book C (1858-1861), pages 131 and 132. Book B (1856-1859) doesn't have an index, and I haven't searched it.
