*****My grandfather was William Moore (no senior) since there was no idea when he was born that there would be a junior!. My father was born and was William Moore, Jr!. My brother was born and was William Moore, III!.

Now in the early 1800's I find that there were two Philip Smiths in the same town!. One was Sr!., one was Jr!. They were NOT related, however!. It was merely a designation to distinguish the elder from the younger, not necessarily family members from each other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The son of John Smith Jr!. would be John Smith the 3ed!. ,if he had a son he would be John Smith the 4th!.Here is one for you that I came across!. [1] John Barrett Sr,married Lucy Barney ,then the records say that Lucy Barrett and John Barrett [2] had John Barrett Jr!.[3] ,As crazy as this looks it fit right in what family oral history had always said ,that John Barrett Sr!. died young and Lucy Barrett Married a Native American That took over her dead husbands ID!.[because Native people were not allowed to own land in this time period She allowed him to do this] and there son was John Barrett Jr!.[3]Www@QuestionHome@Com
