Was born in Campbell county, on September 4, 1840, the son of T. B.
and Fannie E. Moorman. He entered the Virginia Military Institute in

love of the South, before he was nineteen years of age. He left the
institute when the Cadets were disbanded at Richmond, at the close of
the war. In May, 1868, Rev. Jos. Spriggs officiating, he married
Lucinda Moorman, born in Campbell county. They have three children:
