Family lore suggests that Shadrack Stanley is the father of Elizabeth Moore's children. No evidence has been uncovered that substaniates this theory. One bastardy bond in Wilkes Co., NC was found which pertains to Mary (Puggy) Moore and it states that the father of Mary is Pleasant Becknell - 5th Nov, 1822.)
