Is this the same man?

IDENTITY Unconfirmed Given name and surname as printed in Gold's roll of the Clarke Cavalry (printed p. 241). The compiled service record of a William Moore, sergeant, Co. D, 6th Virginia Cavalry, agrees on name, company and rank; no record read here ties either one to Clarke.

What distinguishes him: Given name and surname as printed in one roll entry (Gold, printed p. 241), which the locator places in the roll of the Clarke Cavalry; no second record has been read.

Clarke connection: Clarke roll: listed in Gold's roll of the Clarke Cavalry (printed p. 241), a troop that Gold's chapter XXV (printed p. 238) says went from the County of Clarke but was not composed wholly of residents of that county; the roll alone therefore does not show that he lived in Clarke. The roster is introduced on p. 239 and closed on p. 246, and the plate caption just before p. 239 names the company as Company D, Sixth Virginia Cavalry. No birth or residence record has been read.

What the source supports What Gold's roll prints for a William Moore: his rank, the wound and the date. Uncertainty As printed. The sentence can be read as giving April 2, 1865 as the date of the wound or of the death, and it is not checked against any other record. The reviewed crop does not show the roll's heading. The heading is on printed pp. 238-239 (with a portrait-plate caption between them), read in the separate statements on this page, which also record that the troop was not composed wholly of residents of Clarke County; the unit is the roll's and is not stated in the entry itself. The entry gives a given name and surname only; no record read here separates this man from others of the same name, and none is claimed to be related. Gold's preface to a different company's roll (the Clarke Rifles, printed p. 196) says that roll was rebuilt from memory and "may not be altogether right"; no such statement was read for the roll cited here, and none is assumed. Each cited passage was read twice, the second time independently: first as a rendered page image of a digital reproduction (a 300 dpi render of the stated PDF page), then on a cropped image of the same page.

What the source supports What Gold prints at the head and the close of the roll of the Clarke Cavalry in which the William Moore entry stands, including that the troop was not composed wholly of residents of Clarke County. Uncertainty As printed. Gold's chapter says the troop "went from the County of Clarke" and in the next sentence that it was not composed wholly of residents of that county, and that men from adjoining and distant counties and from other states enlisted in it. A man's place in this roll therefore shows a Clarke roll, under this site's rule, but does not by itself show that he lived in Clarke County; no birth or residence record has been read for him. His entry (p. 241) is not on any of the passages quoted here: the placement rests on the alphabetical list of enlisted men that begins under the p. 240 subheading and runs to the closing sentence on p. 246, which these passages bracket but do not show entry by entry. The heading is a run of pages, not one boxed heading on a roll page: the chapter opening (p. 238), the roster's introduction (p. 239, which says "the Company" and does not repeat "Clarke Cavalry"; it refers back to the chapter), the subheading and the closing sentence. The unit "Company D, Sixth Virginia Cavalry" is printed on the plate caption (a separate statement on this page), not in the roster itself.

The caption names D. T. Richards and the company and regiment of the Clarke Cavalry; it names no man of the roll, and it is the only page of the run that gives "Company D, Sixth Virginia Cavalry".

CHAPTER XXV THE CLARKE CAVALRY AMONG the military organizations that went from the County of Clarke in defense of the State and Southland in the war between the states, was a troop of horse known as the Clarke Cavalry. It is not to be understood that this troop was composed wholly of residents of said county. It was a crack corps, and many men from adjoining and distant counties of the State and from other states enlisted in it, attracted by its reputation for dash and gallantry, and the character of the material of which it was composed. There was organized in that part of the County of Frederick which is now embraced in the territory of the County of Clarke, for service in the war with Great Britian [sic] in 1812, a company of cavalry commanded by Captain Eben Taylor. It is said that the names on the roster of the Company last mentioned and the names on that of the Clarke Cavalry were to a large extent the same, from which the inference is drawn that many of the men composing the Clarke Cavalry that took part in the war between the states were descendents of the men who, in the war of 1812, enlisted under the command of Captain Taylor.
