Moore enlisted as a private on May 14, 1861 in Co. A of the 3rd VA Cavalry. He was detailed as an orderly to General Lafayette McLaws from December 1861 until at least March 1862. He had a number of absences due to illness and was captured in a Richmond hospital on April 3, 1865 and paroled on April 20, 1865.
After the war, he returned to Mecklenburg County, where he was a school teacher in 1870, and a farmer in 1880 and 1900. His obituary in the Nashville Christian Advocate states that he was county surveyor for 35 years. Moore died July 12, 1903.
