Individual Note:
     A dual---

The innocent cause of this disturbance can be traced to Miss Rachel Pindall, a pretty blue eyed maiden, who had recently come to Clarksburg from Monongalia County, and who was a sister to the celebrated lawyer, James Pindall, and to whom the two principals in the duel had been paying marked attention. It was the same old story of rivalry for the had of a fair daughter of Eve that will be repeated in the future time and again as long as the human race shall exist.

After the duel Burnham abandoned the field and moved West, and in the following year Moore married the young lady in question and many of their descendants reside in Clarksburg to this day.


In the war of 1812 with England, Thomas P. Moore entered the army and was promoted to the rank of Major, serving with distinction in the invassion of Canada and along the Atlantic Coast.
