Below is my biography of
John W. Moore. Since he was not in the Army, there is no biography of him in the National Archives.

I have yet to find any
information that identifies this John W. Moore from the many others
in Virginia in 1860. From the information below, it appears he was
probably born in Virginia. He lived in the Norfolk area from his
youth and had some business experience there before the war. When
the war began, he was elected Lieutenant of a Volunteer company the
was disbanded (probably because of lack of numbers). He was in
Norfolk in early 1862 and volunteered to assist the local
Quartermaster, Maj. George Grice, whom he knew. The two remained
together and eventually, in September, 1863, Maj. Grice requested
that he be assigned to him officially as a bonded Transportation
Agent and his assistant. Moore was appointed a Quartermaster
Department Agent and assigned as requested.
