James Buck Bailey was born four months after his father, Buck Elam Bailey, died in a mining accident in West Virginia.
His mother was Elizabeth "Lizzie" Moore Bailey Thompson. She died in 1931 in Logan County, WV. She married Charlie (or Charley) Thompson sometime after James' birth. Her parents were John & Elizbeth Newsom (or Newsome) Moore of Lawrence County, KY. In 1920, a son "Elam Bailey" was with them - this is most likely James Bailey Moore.
It's a mystery why or when James began to use the surname Moore.
With first wife Julia Louise Hale, he had sons Billy and Bobby. With second wife Alma, he had a daughter, Ladonna. He also had a son James Buck Moore, Jr., presumably with Alma.
