According to Wayne County, IA census records of 1856 and 1860 James E. Moore was born in 1832 or 1833 in Tennessee. This agrees with the 1850 census of Sugar Creek, Vigo Co., Indiana which has James as 18.
Some time after July of 1865 when he was discharged from the Union army, he moved to Enid, OK. But on the 1880 census of Allerton, Wayne Co., Iowa, he is listed as 50 years of age which would have him born about 1830. This latter is probably incorrect.
Rosemary Moore West has a note from the 1860 census on James E. Moore to the effect that he was a "master carpenter."
He probably does not yet appear on the 1830 census of Blount Co., Tennessee, so he probably was born sometime after the 1830 census. The 1840 census of Jasper, Newton County (later Jasper Co.), Missouri shows a child corresponding to James E. Moore of at least 5 and under 10.
According to notes by Rosemary Moore apparently taken from Hetty A. Moore's obituary of 1911, James Ellis Moore lived at that time in Ames, Oklahoma.
According to records of soldiers who served in Company D Iowa 23rd Infantry during the Civil War (available at http://www.rootsweb.com/~iawayne/civilwar.htm as of 16 Feb. 2007), James Ellis Moore was buried in Enid Oklahoma. This source lists him as age 30 in 1865.
