<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Barnette (pronounced "Bonnet") was my great grandfather. He was one of three brothers to migrate from "AI" in Person County across the upper prong of the Flat River. The brothers bought large acreage on which to build homes, families and farms. Their father was Gilbert Moore (see Gilbert Moore Bible) who was the grandson of our illustrious Stephen Moore.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Barnette built a "dog trot" house which remained unpainted throughout its existence. It was like two houses built on either side of a long hallway. Probably built around the Civil War, it existed into my adult life. The last folks to live in the house were Norfolk and Cleo Wrenn, who had moved into the old home as caretakers of the last Moores who lived there.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In 1925, my grandparents' (William P. and Rosa Moore) cabin about a quarter mile away burned to the ground, when my mother was 15 years old. The family went to live with Uncle Sam and Uncle Charlie, until the new and existing house that I call "Lady Slipper Cove" was built. When Uncle Sam died in 1945, he left in his will enough money for his nieces, Aunt Alma and Mother to finish the upstairs portions of their homes. I was too young to remember Uncle Sam, being only 2 years old when he died. I do remember both attics at the farm and my home in Durham, before they were converted into upstairs bedrooms. Sam left his car to his nephew, my Uncle Bill. Charlie and Sam were never married.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After the Wrenns built a small brick home within view of the old home, the Person County fire department was asked to burn down the old home, as it was in disrepair and a fire hazard itself. My good friend and next door neighbor, Ed Wrenn now lives on that land. He remembers the old wheelchair used by one of the sisters (probably Ella), who also probably suffered from the genetic disease (limb girdle muscular dystrophy), which I have today.</span></div>

Terri O'Neill said that she had family reasons to be in Durham, and suggested that it might be a good time for our Moore Research Committee to get together. The committee consists of Terri O'Neill from Colleyville, Texas; Steve Moore from Murfreesboro, Tennessee; Sandra Moore Shoffner (with lot of help from her husband, Harry) from Mebane, North Carolina; and myself, David Jeffreys from Wilmington, North Carolina. We all had the dates of July 8-12 available and decided to get together. At the reunion, we wanted to compare notes and notebooks, and visit Mt. Tirzah United Methodist Church and graveyard, and the Mt. Tirzah home, built by Stephen Moore, and its graveyard. We decided to invite other members of the Moore family in the Durham and Person County area, who have been especially helpful with our research during the past few months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Terri arranged to have the Duke Room at the Courtyard by Marriott in Durham on Monday afternoon for our "show and tell" and called Mt. Tirzah UMC for it to be open on Tuesday morning. I arranged a tour of the Mt. Tirzah house, gardens, and graveyard with its present owner, Steve Cox, who is a good friend, for Tuesday afternoon.</div>

We spread our books, notebooks, and albums across the tables in the front and back of the room. Those present during the afternoon included Terri and Ken O'Neill, Steve Moore, Sandra and Harry Shoffner, myself, Harry T. Watkins, and Victor Bailey Moore, Jr. Harry Watkins furnished me with these two pictures:</div>

Pastor Jarrod Davis welcomed us and provided us with a history of the church. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">Mt Tirzah United Methodist Church was originally built on land acquired from Sydney Moore for $1.00 in May, 1819. This original structure burned down sometime prior to 1888, and a new structure was built on a hill about a mile away from the original. This is the present Mt. Tirzah UMC building. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">The first worship service held in Mt. Tirzah UMC was on Christmas Day, 1888. The location of the first church and its spring have been located to the south of the present church along Moore's Mill Road.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">Terri's oral history says that her great-grandfather, John Luther Bradshaw was on location in 1888 to build the present church, so she was looking for more information about that.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">Many local Stephen Moore descendants came to the church to meet with us. Among those who signed in were </span></span>Anne M. Wolfe, Sandra M. Buchanan, Margaret (Noell) Puett, Pat Reade, Angela
Wyche-Reade Jones, Wendy Reade Thompson, Robert Winston Carr, Clinton W. Toms
III and Julia Carr Day. Others also attended who did not sign in.<br />
<br />
In an email after the reunion, Terri said, "Though you knew about it long ago, David, you couldn't recall the source of the
<b>Burgess Ticket</b>, so it was great to see it and put a date on it, and learn where
it resides with <b>Margaret Noell Puett</b>. She also solved the mystery of what
happened to the original miniature portrait in black and white of Stephen Moore.
It was in her Noell family and was lost in a fire years ago, along with two
small paintings of the graves of Stephen and Grizey." Terri stood in the vestibule of the church and carefully transcribed the Burgess Ticket. (More on the Burgess Ticket in another post.)<br />

Approximately 15 Stephen Moore descendants arrived just after 1:00pm for a tour of the gardens, house, and family cemetery. Stephen Cox bought Mt. Tirzah from the Reade family in 1985 and has done a magnificent restoration of the house and gardens.<br />

First Steve Cox led us on a tour of the gardens. Note that Mt. Tirzah is the hilltop of a mountain from which you can see in the north, east, and south directions.<br />

Following the tour of the gardens, Steve Cox led us into the front entrance through the enclosed porch and into the parlor. He started the tour by explaining the repair that had to be done to the building and remarking about the fireplaces and original stairs that were moved during Stephen Moore's first addition. Above the fireplace is a beautiful painting, which Cox described as to its relevance to the house. The Shoffners had presented him a large copy of the Stephen Moore Portrait Painting, which had been recently discovered. When Cox entered the room, he placed the portrait in a chair beside the fireplace. Someone asked him where he thought he might hang the portrait in the house. Cox responded: "I think he looks pretty comfortable sitting in that chair."<br />

For privacy reasons, Steve Cox, does not permit photographs inside the house because he doesn't want them to appear on the internet, but he did give me permission for the above picture. Therefore, you will see no more interior pictures.<br />
<br />
From the parlor, Cox led the group up the stairs on the west end of the parlor to the area above which would have been the nursery and the Moore's bedroom. Further upstairs are another bedroom on the east side of the chimney. There are fireplaces in both bedrooms upstairs, as well as in the parlor and dining room downstairs. Back downstairs, the group went into the north 1880s addition, which today is a library and master bedroom.

John Moore (1658-1732) of Philadelphia: A Recap<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">In the summer of 1991,
descendants of Stephen Moore (1734-1799) of Mount Tirzah, North Carolina,
assembled at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for a family reunion. The
location was appropriate because Stephen Moore had inherited the West Point
property upon the death of his father, Col. John Moore (1686-1749) of New York
City, then subsequently sold it to the U.S. government in 1790, upon which the
USMA was established in 1802. Of the approximately 200 attendees, from all
parts of the country, many were meeting for the first time. Some were
acquainted through genealogical research. In my case, I had been studying the
Moore family for about eight years, and I was just learning of some
discrepancies in the lineage in 1991, but was too inexperienced to know how to
resolve them.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Soon after the
reunion, however, I was put into contact with the family of Richard Channing
Moore, who was a descendant of Stephen Moore’s elder brother, Thomas
(1721-1794). Richard C. Moore had left a family chart at the West Point
Library, and when I wrote to him, I learned that
he had died a short time
before. His wife Marjorie was very gracious in sharing the information that
Richard had compiled in his study of the Moore lineage. Richard had encountered
the same discrepancies that I had, but instead of wondering about them, he
hired a genealogist in Philadelphia, and another in London to resolve them with
limited success. Additionally, right before the West Point reunion, Dr. Victor
Moore of Evans, Georgia, put me in contact with Mrs. Marguerite Roll.
Marguerite was not a Moore descendant, but she wanted to obtain the Moore coat
of arms as a gift to friends who were. (I never learned their names.) She was
working with
the Lancaster Herald at the College of Arms in London in order to
accomplish this goal, and she had supplied him with the information she had:
David Moore Hall’s </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Six
Centuries of Moores of Fawley</span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">,
published in 1904. Early in my studies of the Moore clan, I obtained a copy of </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Six Centuries </span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">which I used as a guide for my continuing research.
The Lancaster Herald could not reconcile the lineage as written in </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Six Centuries </span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">with what was on record at the College of Arms. There
was a major error in the lineage detailed in </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Six Centuries</span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">, namely that Francis Moore of Fawley was said to have
married in 1655 Mary Cary, daughter of Edward Cary. Francis Moore and Mary Cary
were the supposed parents of John Moore, born in 1658. However, the Cary
lineage shows that Mary, daughter of Edward Cary was born 50 years after the
alleged marriage. Further, the arms granted to the Moores of Fawley are
described as “Argent, a Moorcock, Sable” [a black Moorcock on a silver or white
shield] and were granted in 1569 to Nicholas Moore, Esq. The arms used by the
American branch of Moores of this study is described as “Argent, Ten Crosses
Crosslet, Sable” [10 black crosses crosslet on a silver or white shield]. I
would point out here that this coat of arms was used by four men: Thomas Moore,
the Librarian at Westminster Abbey and Hon. John Moore’s brother; William Moore
(1699-1783) of Chester County, Pennsylvania, son of Hon. John Moore, brother of
Col. John Moore and father of Thomas
William Moore (1735-1799), who played a
large roll in the misidentification of the correct lineage; John Moore, Esq.
(1745-1828), son of Thomas Moore of New York City, grandson of Col. John Moore,
nephew of Stephen Moore, family historian and author of at least four known
memoirs and countless family letters; and Stephen Moore himself, on the
bookplate of the family bible that belonged to his daughter, Mary (Moore)
Stanford. Notably, neither Hon. John Moore of Philadelphia nor Col. John Moore
of NYC used the ten crosses, crosslet arms on any seal or bookplate that is
extant. The Lancaster Herald stated that it was his belief that Thomas Moore,
Librarian of Westminster, assumed the use of ten crosses, crosslet without
authority, and
indicated that no Moores had ever been granted arms ten crosses,
crosslet.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">As the exchange of
information continued, we asked the Lancaster Herald to verify the story
reported by John Moore, Esq. in one version of his memoirs, that his cousin,
Thomas William Moore (1735-1799), traveled to London in 1770 and received the
Moores of Fawley genealogy from the “Herald’s Office.” The Herald’s report was
as follows: “...I can confirm that such visits were (and still are) recorded
and the records preserved. I have examined those for 1770, but I find that only
two enquiries were received that year relating to persons or families of the
name of Moore: the first, in July related to one Giles Moore of Middleton, co.
Westmorland, no record of whom could be found, and the second, in August, to
the family of Moore of Appleby, co. Leicester, whose pedigree had already been
registered.”, and “...I have examined the Waiting Books for the period from
July 1767 to December 1776 without however finding any record of an enquiry
relating to the Moores of Fawley.” Thus, it seems that the myth of our Moores
of Fawley lineage originated with Thomas William Moore in 1770, which was then accepted
without question for the next 225 years. None of the American descendants had
any reason to question or doubt it. Whether Thomas William Moore was duped by
an unscrupulous genealogist, or was led astray by his relations still residing
in England, we may never know, but in one way, it made my research easier.
Since all the generations after Thomas William Moore adhered to the Moores of
Fawley lineage, I could be certain I was on the right track if there was ever
any mention of Fawley, as in the case of John Moore (1820-1903) of Quincy,
Adams County, Illinois, who named his home Fawley.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Now, 21 years after
the West Point reunion, a great deal of research has resulted in many new
discoveries of which the majority of the attendees are unaware. A recent
research and pleasure trip to North Carolina gave me the opportunity to renew
some acquaintances with cousins and meet others for the first time. Many Moore
descendants still live in North Carolina, in Person County where Mount Tirzah,
Stephen Moore’s home is situated, in Orange, Alamance, Durham, Granville, Wake,
even New Hanover and many more. In addition to learning “new” things about
under-explored branches of the family, my purpose was to share the results of
the intervening 20+ years of research with those who were unaware of it.
Descendants of Stephen Moore’s son, Portius (1784-1847), the
Horner/Graham/Hall/Cooper families lived in Oxford, Granville County. At the
home of Lea Lea Ivey, I presented these findings to a small group of cousins
who were learning of the different lineage for the first time. Needless to say,
the news was met with some polite skepticism. One of the long-held stories in
that branch of the family was of the trip to England and Fawley Manor made in
1888 by their ancestress, Sophronia (Moore) Horner (1829-1909). In their
understanding, Sophronia had seen etched in a pane of glass at Fawley Manor,
the names of three girls, one of them being “Sophronia.” Though I remembered
seeing that story long ago, I could not recall its source, so could not counter
the argument at the time. When I returned home, I quickly found the source of
the story: in the pages of </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Six Centuries of Moores of Fawley</span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">. In a perfect example of how family stories sometimes
get distorted over time (but must never be discounted!), the account of the
trip to Fawley was :</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">“Our kinswoman, Mrs.
Lilie Moore Craven, thus writes of her visit to Fawley in 1888: ‘Doctor
Gardiner went with us to the old manor house at Little Fawley, about a mile
from the Vicarage, which was unoccupied, save that some of the numerous rooms
were used for farm purposes. We walked through the ancient rooms, gazed upon
the landscape from the upper windows, went upon the roof, read the names cut
with a diamond upon the window panes, namely </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Mollie Moore, Nellie Moore, Anastasia
Moore, </span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sir R Moore, and I thought of
those who formerly occupied the mansion and wondered how they looked.’ ”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">With the enormous
databases containing original records now available on websites such as
FamilySearch and Ancestry, research is greatly facilitated. I tracked Rev.
Elijah R. Craven (1824- 1908) and his wife, Elizabeth Gertrude Moore (1832- ),
daughter of Stephen van Rensselaer Moore (1799-1883), and granddaughter of
Bishop Richard Channing Moore (1762-1841), in<span style="font-family: Times, serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">census records of
1870, 1880 and 1900. One of the features of Ancestry searches is “hints”
pointing the researcher to other records that may pertain to the individual you
are researching. In this case, the hint pointed toward passport applications.
On 22 May 1888, Elijah R. Craven was issued a passport to travel abroad
“accompanied by my wife Elizabeth G. Craven.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">I cannot emphasize
enough, the value of incorporating all family histories, genealogies, oral
traditions, letters and manuscripts, memoirs and the research of others into
this ongoing, and constantly expanding study of the vast Moore clan, but I
offer this caveat: anything written before </span><b><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">1995 </span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">is subject to the “Fawley myth” and should be considered a guide useful
for clues. Likewise, the many genealogies posted on current websites such as
Ancestry and FamilySearch must be used in the same way, as most are derivative
of the “Fawley myth.” Fellow researchers and cousins, Steve Moore, David
Jeffreys and Sandra (Moore) Shoffner have worked tirelessly to distribute
accurate information and I urge anyone interested to visit David’s excellent
blog: <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://stephenmoore-mounttirzah.blogspot.com/">Stephen Moore of Mt.

TORBAY PRISON-SHIP, OFF
CHARLESTON<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;">
May 19, 1781<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sir:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yesterday we transmitted to you a letter, enclosing a copy
of yours, with a list of one hundred and twenty-nine prisoners of war, confined
on board this ship, which we hope is forwarded to Major Gen Greene, agreeably
to your promise, and make no doubt but that your feelings as a gentleman will,
upon this occasion, induce you to do everything in your power to liberate, from
a most injurious and disagreeable confinement, those against whom there can
exist no charge of dishonor, and whose only crime, if such it can possibly be
termed by men of liberal ideas, is an
inflexible attachment to what they conceive to be the rights of their country,
and who have scorned to deceive you by unmeaning professions. In justice to
ourselves we must say, that if the Americas have at any time so far as to divested
themselves of that character of humanity and generosity, which ever distinguish
them, we feel ourselves most sensibly mortified, but are induced, from the
generous treatment of Cols. Lechmere, Rugely, Fenwicke and Kelsell, and their
parties, and from a number of other instances which might be easily adduced, to
believe, that the outrages which you complain of, must be the effect of private
resentment (subsisting between British subjects and those who, after having
availed themselves of the royal proclamation, have resumed their arms, in
opposition to that government) and totally unsanctioned by any American
officer, and which we are well convinced they would rather reprobate and would
present punish in the most exemplary manner, could the perpetrators of such horrid
attacks be detected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a war, circumstanced as the present, there will be some
instances of enormities on both sides. We would not wish to particularize, but
doubt not there are acts of cruelty frequently committed by the irregulars of
your army, and are convinced, that on your part, as well as our own, they are
generally to be attributed to an ignorance of the rules of warfare, and a want
of discipline; but the idea of detaining in close custody as hostages a number
of men fairly taken in arms, and entitled to the benefits of a solemn
capitulation, is so repugnant to the laws of war, and the usage of civilized
nations, that we apprehend it will rather be the means of increasing its
horrors, than answering those purposes of humanity you expect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a most strict adherence to the terms of our paroles, and
a firm reliance on your honor, have been the only reasons of our being in your
power at present, we trust, that upon equitable proposals being made for our exchange
by Gen. Greene, no objections will be raised, but every thing done to bring the
matter to the most speedy issue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you have thought proper to publish your reasons for
seizing upon our persons, we request our answer may also be inserted in the
next Gazette. We are, sir,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;">
Your most obedient
servants, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;">
Stephen Moore, and
others.<o:p></o:p></div>

I am a big fan of technology and genealogy is certainly easier now than it was 25 years ago. Today we can search on Google, access databases such as Ancestry.com, and read blogs.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We used to be limited to writing letters instead of emails (which was much slower), visiting libraries instead of Google Search, and reading books instead of blogs. Not that some of those methods are still helpful, such as reading earlier investigations in books, and searching microfilm and boxes of documents in libraries and archives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Terri O'Neill is forever commenting on what a beautiful handwriting that Stephen Moore had, even transcribing documents for others. But I want to tell you that Terri and I started all this before we had such technology. We wrote letters. Terri published her findings in her excellent <i>Moore, Stanford, Webb Chronicles</i> before we had a blog. I had always wanted to write a book on the Stephen Moore family, but with constant new information developing, a book quickly becomes dated and blogs can remain current.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only did Stephen Moore have a beautiful handwriting, but so does Terri and most of you have never seen it, because her work appears in printed form. Here is a letter that Terri wrote me some <i style="font-weight: bold;">25 years ago</i> about West Point. Note her handwriting and her love for genealogy, when she said: <i>"I wish I could devote more time to this stuff instead of mundane details like fixing meals & doing laundry!"</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The elusive Moore family Bible belonging to the family of
Richard Henry Moore (son of Portius) and his wife, Sarah Harriet Moore
(daughter of Robert), has recently reappeared after being hidden way for 45+
years. We believe this version of the Bible, with a copyright date of 1891, contains
the marriage, birth, and death dates transcribed from the “original” Bible by
their only surviving daughter, Sarah Jane Moore (1840-1917), and later passed
on to her brother, Dr Henry Fletcher Moore (1849-1934). The consensus is that since
the first entry on the Marriages page below (above the names of Robert and
Sarah Moore) reads: “our grand parents on mamas side,” the names could only
have been transcribed by Sarah Jane (granddaughter of Robert and Sarah/Sallie
[Bailey] Moore). See the following photographs showing the Marriages page:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Several Moore kin were very interested in seeing this
version of the Bible to verify the birth date of Robert, eldest son of Lt Col
Stephen Moore, a date that has been disputed and debated by numerous Stephen
Moore family historians and genealogists for decades. Robert’s birth year has
been recorded as 1762 <i>and</i> 1769 in
various Moore family Bibles and histories. You can read all the details
concerning this ongoing debate here on David’s blog, just click to read all
posts labeled <i><u>Robert 1762 birth date</u></i>.
His birth date of <i>Nov 5, 1762</i> is
clearly written on the Marriages page above, but not on the Births page.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Before this Bible was recently discovered, it was last
seen at the home of Mattie Thompson Moore, who took possession of it in 1957, after
the death of her husband, Charles Fletcher Moore, Sr, eldest son of Dr Henry
Fletcher Moore by his second wife, Maggie Davis. Mattie T Moore lived on Anthony
Street in Burlington, and the Bible was seen there by several people (including
me) in the late 1960s.I had the Bible for a few weeks until my father, Richard
Fletcher Moore, insisted I return it, much to my chagrin. I had gotten quite attached
to that Bible, not knowing the importance it would play in my life further down
the road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Bible eventually ended up in the possession of Wayne T
Moore after the death of his mother, Mattie T Moore, in 1992. We discovered
this fact after corresponding with Wayne’s brother, Willard G Moore, over a period
of years. It seemed that it had been in Wayne’s attic for quite some time. When
asked about the information that was contained in the Bible, Willard provided us
with a handwritten and a typed transcription done by Wayne and Willard’s older
brother, Dr Charles Fletcher Moore, Jr, sometime before his death in 1994. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My husband, Harry, and I recently decided to give Willard
a call (March 14, 2013) to see if we could visit and present him with a complete
copy of his Moore pedigree along with a copy of the article about our West
Point trip to find the Red House. We also asked if he had had any luck locating
the family Bible and he answered that he had it right there on his coffee
table! Therefore, Harry and I grabbed our cameras and rushed over to Willard’s
house in Gibsonville, NC, and photographed the Bible pages while asking Willard
about his side of the Moore family. Willard has lived in the same house in
Gibsonville since the 1960s, and Wayne recently moved into The Village at
Brookwood, a retirement community in Burlington. Both brothers are doing well
and we want to thank them for sharing the family Bible with us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My husband,
Harry Shoffner, and I took a trip to the Hudson Highlands in New York State and
to the United States Military Academy at West Point (October 2012) to see for
ourselves the location of the original site of Stephen Moore’s Red House. In
preparation for our trip, I researched everything I could find online concerning
the Moore family at West Point and the history of West Point, plus all the family
history researched and recorded by cousins Terri O’Neill, Steve Moore, and
David Jeffreys. I also discovered several websites with additional information
that proved invaluable, including <i><a href="http://internettime.com/family/The%20Moores.htm">TheMoores of West Point</a> </i></span><cite><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> and <a href="http://www.hudsonrivervalley.org/library/pdfs/articles_books_essays/westpointlogistics_cubbison.pdf">Historic

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I had
corresponded with a retired Lt Col at West Point who agreed to meet us there, escort
us onto the grounds, and help us find the homesite. But, as a backup, we signed
up for an afternoon West Point tour through the West Point Visitors Center before
we left North Carolina, just in case. We knew beforehand that the tour would
not make a stop at the Target Hill Athletic Fields, the place our research had
directed us to go to start our search. The tour did include a stop at the West
Point Cemetery, which was on the hill directly above the athletic fields so we
thought we could perhaps get a glimpse of the general area where the Red House
had stood. We never caught up with the retired Lt Col I had corresponded with, despite
several attempts, so we were basically on our own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since we had
time to kill our first morning there, before our 2:00 scheduled tour, we
decided to take a chance and drive to the guard station at the entrance to the
West Point grounds. We had been told by the staff at The Thayer Hotel (where we
were staying), at the Visitors Center, and on the West Point website that we
would not be allowed to go onto the grounds unescorted. We decided it could not
hurt to plead our case to the security guard on duty. We explained that we had
driven all the way to New York from North Carolina to try and locate the
original site of my 4<sup>th</sup> great-grandfather, Col Stephen Moore’s, Red
House somewhere on the Target Hill Athletic Fields (pictured below).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We showed
the guard a photo of the bronze plaque honoring Lt Col Stephen Moore that I had
found on a website. I explained that we wanted very badly to locate the plaque
for ourselves and photograph it, and also to walk around and try to locate a stream
that was on the property. So, after a thorough search of our vehicle and on
approval of our identification, we were told that we could go ahead and drive
onto the property to conduct our search. We could not believe our good fortune!

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We drove
around and explored the academy grounds using a map I had downloaded from the
USMA website. We had to drive carefully to avoid hitting any of the hundreds of
cadets running, walking, and marching everywhere. The first thing we did after
locating the athletic fields down by the Hudson River on River Road, was to
roam the fields, searching for the stream that was documented to have flowed beside
the Red House and emptied into the Hudson. We found the stream flowing out of
the mountainside, just to the left of the field house, and running underneath
the rugby field (see photo below).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a photo from behind the stream looking out across the field and over to the
fence where we eventually found the plaque. We are assuming (according to all
the information I had gathered from my research and my correspondence with
Terri) that the house was located
somewhere between the stream and the plaque location, which we later discovered
was near our truck parked out on River Road (see black circle on photo below.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After
looking for the plaque and coming up empty-handed, we enlisted the help of two
guys who were jogging past. We showed them the photo we had of the plaque and
asked if they had ever seen it as they were jogging past the field. They
volunteered to help us search and yelled that they had found it, buried under a
bed of twigs. The twigs were arranged as if someone were planning to light a
fire there (maybe a “hint” left by our elusive Lt Col). We found that strange,
but brushed the twigs off and took a photograph of the plaque.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Hudson River. The view from there was absolutely breathtaking! I have

the homesite on the rugby field, just left of the field house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

After two years of writing, editing, rewriting and re-editing, the entire
article on Col. John Moore and his wife, Frances Lambert, has been published. It
appears in two parts, in the New York Genealogical and Biographical RECORD: Vol.
143, Number 3, July 2012, and Number 4, October 2012. I hope all of you who are
interested in family history will seek out these two issues from your library.
Quite a few new discoveries about our Moore lineage have been made in the last 5
years or so, and I crammed as much of it into the article as space would
allow.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of you have asked how to obtain copies of the article published in two
issues of the RECORD. If they are not available in your local library, you can
contact the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society RECORD, 36 West
44th Street, New York, NY 10036-8105. Single issues are $7.50 each. The website
address is: <a href="http://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/">www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org</a></div>

Francis Phillips of Christ Church<div class="MsoNormal">

<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Editor’s Note: This biographical reference is copied
verbatim from <b><u>Pennsylvania, The
Colonial Years, 1681-1776</u> </b>by Joseph J. Kelly, Jr., published by

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As 1714 drew
to a close, Philadelphia had a first-class scandal which triggered a “great
tumult.” Rev. Francis Phillips,
temporary pastor of Christ Church, was said to be boasting of having sex with
some of the leading ladies of the congregation.
Most of the parishioners, including Gookin, thought Phillips was being
maligned, but a sizable minority believed the tales were true. Writs were obtained against him by Collector
John Moore, father of one, and Councilor Trent, husband of another. Peter Evans, brother of the former Governor,
was the Sheriff, and an ardent suitor of Miss Moore. Incensed, he arrested the cleric as he was
going to bed, presumably alone, on Saturday, February 12, 1715, dragging him,
sans stockings, through the cold night to the jail a half mile away, and there
refusing to let him send for bail. The
next day, Sunday, some three hundred young men and boys, admirers of the
beleaguered pastor, mobbed the prison and threatened to pull it down if he was
not released. They extorted a promise he
would be returned home that night, and in retiring, tried to attack the home of
the chief informer, but Gookin dispersed them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On Monday,
even though Phillips had been set at liberty, the mob, smashed the windows in
the Trent and Moore homes. Evans,
anxious to prove himself a worthy champion of the supposedly victimized Miss
Moore, challenged the minister to a duel with swords, and was indicted for
sending a challenge. The trial jury
returned an alternative verdict, leaving the judges to decide whether a demand
to come <i>cinctus gladio </i>was a
challenge or an invitation. The puzzled
court took it under advisement and no further record of the case appears. Phillips, who ignored Evans’ note on March
10, faced more trouble on March 17 when other clergymen petitioned the Bishop
of London to remove him, after having failed to persuade him to leave the
Province. In the meantime he drew large
crowds to Christ Church while the Moore and Trent families attended services in
the courthouse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For Quaker
politicians, always happy at the discomfiture of the “steeple-church” people,
the episode had too much potential to let die.
They brought the minister before a Quaker-dominated court on charges
they claimed he already admitted. Gookin
accompanied him, immediately dismissed at least three counts, and when a
twenty-pound fine was levied on another, said: “Mr. Phillips, you may go home
if you please, I’ll forgive you your fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the next
term of court, the Constable and then the Sheriff were sent to bring him in,
but Gookin battled them with his cane, went to court, and absolved Phillips
with a proclamation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On June 10
the Assembly expressed disappointment that “some of those who occasioned those
Tumults, in order to annoy their opposite Party, are now leveling their
Malignity against the Magistrates of this City and County, and endeavoring to
prevail with the Governor . . . that
there is no Power to bring to Trial a certain Clergyman, who is charged by
Indictment at the King’s suit, for committing Fornication. . . . We desire the Governor to consider,
that Fornication, and such like Offences which in other Places may be of
ecclesiastical Connusance, are by the Laws of this Province made triable in the
Quarter-Sessions. . . .” Tongue in
cheek, Gookin answered: “The Tumults that have hitherto happened, I have
immediately endeavored to quell, and, I hope, with good Effect; the Courts are
now Opened; the Administration of Justice is restored; and if any should appear
so audacious as to oppose the Magistrates, they shall not want my Countenance
and Assistance to suppress the Attempt. . . . I
shall exert all the Authority with which I am vested, to support . . . the
Magistrates, in the Execution of the Laws, and full Discharge of their Duty . .
.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The amorous
Phillips, “the parson who has so long tormented this place,” in Logan’s words,
was ordered by the Bishop of London to vacate Christ Church and sailed home;
Peter Evans married Miss Moore without her father’s permission; Gookin had an argument with Joseph Wood, a
Quaker justice of the Supreme Court for the Lower Counties, and kicked him, and
in September 1715, leading citizens there appealed to the Councilors to relieve
them from the Governor’s harassment. The
letter was forward to Hannah Penn stating a change was imperative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Being descended from Stephen Moore, our Revolutionary War Patriot, entitles you to membership in either the <b><i>DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)</i></b> or the <b><i>SAR (Sons of the American Revolution.)</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Starting from scratch and going back six to eight generations may be daunting to some; however, if a more recent ancestor has been accepted into membership, you will have fewer generations to prove. For example, my mother was a member of DAR, so it was relatively easy for me to prove my lineage back to Stephen Moore, only having to supply my birth certificate, proving the last generation. Even finding a relative back in your lineage in one of the DAR or SAR rolls will save you time and documentation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Terri O'Neill has shown that Robert Moore also had creditable service as a Revolutionary War Patriot, but if you get back that far, you may as well go for one more generation to Stephen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not all Moore family descendants can become members of the DAR and SAR -- only those who are descended from Stephen. This is because only Stephen was a Revolutionary War Patriot having fought in the war for independence. Most of Stephen's siblings remained loyal to the British Crown!</span></div>

First Cousin, Twice Removed?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If someone walked up to you and said, "Howdy, I'm your
third cousin, twice removed," would you have any idea what they meant?
Most people have a good understanding of basic relationship words such as
"mother," "father," "aunt," "uncle,"
"brother," and "sister." But what about the relationship
terms that we don't use in everyday speech? Terms like "second
cousin" and "first cousin, once removed"? We don't tend to speak
about our relationships in such exact terms ("cousin" seems good
enough when you are introducing one person to another), so most of us aren't
familiar with what these words mean.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes, especially when
working on your family history, it's handy to know how to describe your family
relationships more exactly. The definitions below should help you out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; text-align: justify;">

<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">When the word "removed" is used to describe
a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different
generations.</span></b><span lang="EN-CA"> You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations
younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is <i>not</i> used
to describe your relationship.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">The words "once removed" mean that there is
a difference of one generation</span></b><span lang="EN-CA">. For example, your mother's first cousin is your
first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one
generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger
than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once
removed."</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Now that you have an idea of what
these different words mean, take a look at the chart below. It's called a

This chart attempts to explain
the relationships that exist between cousins. It may be extended in either
direction for as many generations as is necessary. The <i>parents</i> represent
the common ancestors you have with your relative. Count across the top row
until you reach your generation. Now count down this column until you reach
your relative's generation.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The New-York Historical Society has been closed for
remodeling for some time, and is now re-opening. They sent this video as part of
their re-opening and upcoming program announcements. It reminded me that we
(Moore descendants) have an intimate connection to this iconic poem, but perhaps
not everyone is aware of the connection. About 10 years ago while researching at
N-YHS, I found a letter written by Thomas William Channing Moore (1794-1872) son
of John Moore, Esq., son of Thomas Moore, son of Col. John & Frances
(Lambert) Moore. The letter was written to the librarian of the N-YHS, George H.
Moore (no relation!) in 1862. Transcript below. The other connection is by
marriage: TWC Moore's uncle, Rev. Thomas Lambert Moore was married to Judith
Moore, the aunt of Clement Clarke Moore, the author of the poem. The two Moore
families are not otherwise related. In recent years, some doubt has been raised
that C. C. Moore is truly the author of the poem, but there is absolutely no
doubt that Clement Clarke Moore penned the manuscript in the holdings of N-YHS,
at the urging of his kinsman, TWC Moore. Enjoy!<br />

George CLINTON requesting the use of ROBINSON's farm across the river, as Gen. PUTNAM has appropriated the Red House for Headquarters.</strong> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Note: Charles Moore was not granted Robinson's house, and was treated with a fair amount of suspicion by Gen. Parsons, who took command of West Point 14 Feb 1778. Parsons asked that Charles and his family be removed and referred to them as Tories, though Charles in his letter to Gov. Clinton, refers to the theft of his livestock by "Sailors belonging to the enemy". Charles' loyalties are far from clear from the available information. Most of his family was absolutely Loyalist, with the exception of Stephen and his niece, Ann, wife of Gen. Jedediah Huntington. Most likely, Charles tried to remain neutral and maintain a low profile until he could get compensation for being put off the property. He was living in Peekskill when he wrote another letter to Gov. Clinton asking to receive household goods and clothing sent under a flag of truce from his brother Thomas in Dec. 1779. Peekskill is where his wife's family was from and nothing is known of their loyalties. He applied for relief from the NY Legislature in 1782, but though a committee was appointed, no report was made. However, in 1784, Charles made a last ditch effort to obtain some compensation by writing a memorial to the New York State Legislature. In this memorial, he states unequivocally, “That your Memorialist hath ever taken a decided part in favour of America throughout the late war.” [Source: State of New York, Public Papers of George Clinton, First Governor of New York, Vol. II, p. 740]</span></li>

If so, would he have had occasion to meet with Gen. Washington, who was still at West Point two weeks prior to the date of Stephen's letter? Nothing in Washington's papers suggests such a meeting. A deposition submitted to Congress indicates that Stephen had been in the vicinity of West Point gathering testimony to support his damage claims. (See 13 Jan 1780) Would Stephen have conferred with the mortgage-holder, Eleazor Levy, who was also in Philadelphia? Did he have any contact with his many relations in Philadelphia? A letter that Stephen wrote while a prisoner in SC, to his cousin, Thomas William Moore, states that he "was at Moore Hall last winter", so he was definitely in contact with his Uncle William Moore of Moore Hall. William Moore was a well-known Tory, but Moore Hall was occupied for a time in 1778 by a committee sent by Congress to investigate conditions in the Army and make recommendations for improvements. The committee was made up of Francis DANA, Joseph REED, Nathaniel FOLSOM, Col. Timothy PICKERING, John HARVIE, and Governour MORRIS. Gen. WASHINGTON rode the 2 1/2 miles from the Valley Forge encampment each day to testify before the committee. Also, Col. Clement BIDDLE, Forage Master General was quartered there. William Moore petitioned Congress for compensation for his many grievous losses at the hands of the Continental Army. William Moore's daughter, Williamina BOND, after the deaths of her parents, also filed a claim with the British government and was granted lands in Nova Scotia as compensation.

By the terms of his father's will, Stephen was obligated to supply his mother with firewood for the rest of her life, and that firewood came from West Point. The felling of much of the timber on the property was one of Stephen's great concerns, but the Army needed to supply itself with firewood as well as timber for fortifications and huts for the troops. Most of Stephen's fences and even some of the outbuildings were taken down to supply the Army, and of course his hay was used for forage. The government was sympathetic to Stephen's position, and there was never any doubt that he was entitled to compensation, but there was not much money in the coffers. Stephen soon realized that to expedite matters, he must do much of the legwork himself and he set about it by making many trips to New York, Philadelphia and wherever else those who could help him were located. Stephen gathered much of the initial testimony regarding his losses himself, and many of the documents submitted to Congress are in Stephen's handwriting with the signatures of the various testators affixed. In the process of pursuing his claim, he made the acquaintance of Gen. Nathanael GREENE, who was Quartermaster General at the time. On 13 Jan 1781, Gen. Greene wrote to Stephen (while Stephen was a prisoner of war) acknowledging receipt of his letter and promising immediate relief for the Militia prisoners in SC as soon as an exchange could be effected. On 26 Feb 1781, Gen. Greene wrote a letter from "Headquarters, Col. Moore's" in Caswell County to a Col. Campbell. This was just before Greene's engagement at Guilford Court House with Lord Cornwallis. Most likely, the “headquarters” was at the residence of Col. William Moore of Caswell, rather than Stephen Moore. </span></li>

Wright’s signature affixed, and sworn before BGen. John PATERSON. Note: During this time that Stephen Moore spent in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York pressing his claim for compensation for damages, he came in contact with a great many of the political and military men determined to shape and mold a new government apart from Britain. Up until this point, Stephen had not been involved in the struggle, but it seems likely that this was the time he made the decision to join the cause of Independence.

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The discovery of this ancient manuscript in the possession of the descendants of the author is a rich contribution to the historical and genealogical archives of the Republic. Although written nearly a century ago for the private information of the author’s family, and held by them as an heirloom, it reveal many incidents relating to the foundation of the nation from the viewpoint of an American official in the service of the King. The original manuscript was written by John Moore of New York, who was born in 1745, and who indited these memoirs in his seventy-fifth year, after a long and rich experience through the formulative period in American history. It was transcribed in 1851 by Thomas William Channing Moore, son of the author, who was one of the promoters of the Academy of Fine Arts, and who travelled through the art galleries of Europe with Washington Irving and Sir David Wilkie. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The value of this manuscript to American genealogy cannot be overestimated, inasmuch as the author gives a concise statement of the foundation of the Moore blood in American and the various channels through which it was carried in its first century into the physical and moral structure of the republic until today it still lives in a great race of progeny that is scattered throughout the states and into the countries of the globe. John Moore, secretary of the Colony of South Carolina, compatriot of William Penn, and attorney-general for the King in Pennsylvania; Bishop Moore of Virginia, and the Moores throughout the South and Middle West, New York and Pennsylvania and New England. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The original manuscript is now in possession of the Murrels of Kentucky – Dr. David Gamble Murrell and Mrs. Cornelia Randolph Murrell, who reside in Paducah. Dr. Murrell is the great-grandson of the author of these memoirs, and professor of anatomy in the Hospital College of Medicine (ex-officio) in Louisville.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Memoirs of an American Official in the Service of the King </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>by John Moore, Esq.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My grandfather, Colonel John Moore, 1686-1749, was the most eminent merchant in the City of New York – he did more business and owned more shipping than any other merchant there, as in early life, I was informed repeatedly by Captains of his vessels and gentlemen who well knew him. He had for many years been a Colonel of one of the Regiments of New York militia, and Alderman of that City, and for some years before his death, was a member of His Majesty’s Council of the Province. He was in that Office when he died, about the year 1749, about 63 years of age. He left a considerable estate in Philadelphia – which on his decease was sold for five thousand pounds – a large sum in those days. A part of it was in Third Street, and the whole would at present be probably worth, little short of a Million of Dollars. – This was sold by his widow, the surviving Executor, to liquidate and settle all his Mercantile affairs. He also left a number of houses and lots in New York, in Broadway, White-Hall Street and at the shipyard – since called Cherry Street. But the principal part was where he resided, in the largest and most elegant house in the City. He owned the whole ground from the corner of Water Street to the East River, on the East front of the Street now called Moore Street, so named, since his decease, by the Corporation of New York, in honor and to perpetuate the memory of his worth and usefulness as a Citizen – Merchant and Magistrate. His family vault is in Trinity Church yard, New York. He was the first therein interred some years ago. I had his name cut in stone and placed thereon – it is at the South side of the Church, nearly opposite the west end thereof. All his descendants who have died at New York are there buried – as is my father who died in Connecticut and my mother who died at Staten Island. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My grandmother Moore was of a French family, who fled from France in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">bloody persecution of the Protestants on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. I think her </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">family name was – Lambert, where or when married, I know not. If I ever heard, I have </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">no recollection;- it was probably either at New York or Philadelphia. At Charleston, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">South Carolina, I have heard that my grandmother had the most wealthy and respectable </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">connections. She died in New York, in the Revolutionary was, the 21st of March 1782, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">her 90th year. I remember to have heard, that they had one or two and twenty children. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Their eldest son, John died at where born, Jamaica, some little time before his father. The </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mansion House was left by will to him, but it became part of the general estate and was, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with every other house belonging to my grandmother, except the property in Cherry </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Street, burnt in the great conflagration of New York, in September 1776, the day after the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">King’s troops obtained possession of that City. It was the base and cruel work of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">incendiaries, who had secreted themselves in the City for that execrable purpose. The fire </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">commenced at the South boundary of my Grandfather’s Estate and swept every building. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">More than a thousand houses were consumed, besides Trinity Church, the largest sacred </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">building in America. The Lutheran Church, near to it, and that elegant building of St. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pauls in the same Street were also burnt. The Broadway was on fire, but was saved by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the persevering zeal and personal exertions of the assistant minister, Dr. Charles Ingles, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">who on the death of Dr. Samuel Auchmerty, in 1776, became Rector and so remained </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">until the close of the war in 1783. He died, Bishop of Nova Scotia, having been thus </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">honored and rewarded by the King, for the unshaken loyalty to the Government until the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">last moment of its existence in the Country. My grandmother and her two maiden </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">daughters, Rebecca and Ann, was at Perth Amboy, with her excellent son-in-law, John </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Smith, Esq, being driven from New York, by the violence of the times in the latter end of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the year 1775, and by the total loss of her income, by the fire, was in a moment reduce </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with her unmarried daughters to absolute and irrecoverable distress. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the evacuation of the Jerseys, by the British Army, in the summer of 1777, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">they all came to my residence, until Uncle Smith had a house allotted to him. My great-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">grandfather Moore went from Moore Hall, England to Charleston, South Carolina in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1680 – then moved to Philadelphia in 1687, He married Lady Rebecca Axtell of England </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and died in 1690 and was buried in the middle aisle of Christ Church, Philadelphia. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Doctor Thomas Moore, his eldest son, was Rector of the Parish of Little Britain in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">London and Chaplain to the celebrated Bishop of Rochester, Dr. Atterbury, who was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">banished for his supposed attachment to the cause of the Stuart family and later died in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">France. Doctor Moore published several volumes of the Bishop’s sermons, which I have </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in my library, but the belong to my daughter Livingston; they have his (Dr. Moore’s) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">name, as the Editor, and are highly esteemed, by the pious and learned. He left two sons. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Clergyman – Dr. Thomas Moore was Rector of North Craynear London, n Kent – cousin </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Andrew Smith has his portrait. The other son, the Rev. Charles Moore, was a man of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">great talents, both as divine and a Poet. He died lately in England, and his sermons are </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">now published in London, as I see, by the last English Reviews. He obtained the prize at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the University of Cambridge, for the best poem on the death of the late King, George the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Second. I have seen it, nearly sixty years ago, and still remember its introductory lines, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">which are beautifully expressive and sentimental. There were two other brothers – one </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">named John, residing still in London, a Druggist and Apothecary to the Royal family, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">one named William, still living in London, an eminent jeweler and goldsmith, under </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">whose direction was cut the seal of the family arms which I have worn since the year </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1770. Whether my Great Uncle had or left any other children, I do not recollect. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The late William Moore Esq., of Moore Hall, Pennsylvania, I believe was the next </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">con of my Great grandfather. He died soon after the King’s troops took possession of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Philadelphia. He was a firm loyalist to the last. The day after the battle in which General </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Gray surprised and defeated General Wayne’s division of the American Army, in Sept. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1777, (a few days after the battle of Brandywine) the British Commander-in-chief made </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Moore Hall his head quarter. The consequence was, the farm was laid waste by the army, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">all its produce of that year consumed or destroyed, nor, as I heard, did Sir William Moore </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ever make him any remuneration, notwithstanding the hospitable reception he met with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">from the old gentleman, then lying </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">very ill of the gout, He died broken hearted and very poor. Dr. Bond and the Rev. Dr. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">William Smith, married three of his daughters. The late Consul General Phinas Bond Esq. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was one of his grandsons. My grandfather was the next son. The fourth son was the late </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Daniel Moore Esq., member of Parliament for Great Marlow in Kent. He had lived in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Barbadoes where he married a lady of great respectability, with whom he obtained a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fortune of One Hundred Thousand Pounds sterling. He returned to England, obtained his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">seat in Parliament, spent Ten Thousand sterling in his election, and lived in such </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">splendour, both at Great Marlow, and at London, that he ran through with the fortune, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and at length died, a prisoner, in the King’s bench prison. Previous to this, at the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">commencement of the American trouble, he was appointed collector of the customs at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Charleston and Rev. General of the Province of South Carolina, but the state of the times </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">rendered his affairs of no value to him and he was so persecuted by Colonel Henry </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lawrence and the other leaders in the Revolutionary, that he was obliged to return to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">England penniless. He had a son, his only one who came to New York about fifty years </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ago. He lived then with my Uncle Lambert Moore, Comptroller of the customs, which </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">lucrative office his father had, while in Parliament, obtained for my Uncle McDaniel </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Moore’s daughter, who married the celebrated McErskine who has since been created a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">nobleman, and for a long time was Lord Chancellor of Great Britain. I know not whether </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he is still living or not. His son is the McErskine, who some years ago was the British </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ambassador to this country, and married in Philadelphia to a Miss Cadwallader, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Granddaughter of Phineas Bond M.D. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have thus given the best account, which a memory greatly impaired has enabled </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">me to recollect of the several collateral branches of my Grand-father Moore’s family, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">every individual of which, were grown to men and women since my Uncle John’s death. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have seen all except my Uncle Richard, who I think went to Barbadoes either before I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was born or when I was an infant. All I remember of my grandfather, is having been </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">called to receive his blessing while he lay of his deathbed. I remember the position in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">which he lay as will as the position of the bed itself. I was about four years old. I was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">born in the house which he built for his residence and in which he died. The walls of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">two lower stories, (it was a double three story in which I lived myself when I married and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">until April 1776, when the trouble drove me to West Point, to the Country House of my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">said Grand-father, which in those troubled times, was also an Asylum for my Father’s </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">family) were built upon and the house is still standing at the North corner of Front and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Moore Street, - but this is digression. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My father, Thomas, was the eldest son living, after my Uncle John’s death. He </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">went to England for his education, under the protection of his Uncle Thomas, Rector of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Little Britain. How many years he was in London I know not. He received his education </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">at Westminster School, then and perhaps ever since the most celebrated school in that </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Country. I presume he was there at least seven years, as he married my mother when he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was 22 years of age, not very long after his return. He commenced business in one of his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Father’s houses, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">then fronting the River, now a compact part of Water Street. He kept a ship-chandler’s </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">store. There was then no other in that part of the City. While in the business I perfectly </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remember his having removed to three other situations in town and he probably would </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">have succeeded had he either never removed his residence, or never made any purchases </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of real estate, but my dear Father was all his life long fond of building and anxious to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">better his circumstances. But all his projects were defeated and invariably tended to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">increase his difficulties, by the openness and liberality of his mind, a total ignorance of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the craft and subtility of the world, and implicit and never ending credulity in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">confidence and integrity of all with whom he had to transact business. Everything failing </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">him at New York, notwithstanding the most persevering industry and close attention to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">his business and living frugally, he at length in my fifteenth year, broke up finally and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">removed with his family, (all except myself, who was then apprentice to a merchant in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York), to Peekskill, then a poor, miserable country, thinly settled, by, in general, a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">very indigent people. There he purchased Two Hundred acres of rough land, chiefly in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">wood, built a handsome brick house, still remaining, the best house there, built a large </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Grist Mill, and commenced keeping a country store. The mill proved of little use, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">never paid the Miller’s wages, the goods were sold chiefly to wretches who never paid </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">for them, and in less than four years, his whole remaining property was there finally lost; </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">besides which, he was greatly in debt, his property in New York all gone and even the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">reversion of the estate, which his father had left him by will, after his mother’s death, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">whom was vested my Grand-father’s whole estate while his widow lived. Thus, there was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">no alternative but to return with his family to New York, and abide the issue of those </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">suits at law, proceeding step by step to judgment, and execution, from which he was at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">length exonerated, by the insolvent law, through my exertions and those of his brother </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lambert, brother-in-law, Samuel Bayard and my Mother’s worthy relative Lewis Pintard. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here then was my unfortunate, but worthy Father, though free from debt, without </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a shilling at command and a number of children, all to young to afford any aid and myself </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with a bare competence. Through the patronage of McElliot, the Collector, he obtained </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the appointment of King’s Weighmaster and Guager; he made himself master of his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">business and by great frugality obtained a tolerable support once more. In the hope of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">better success he set up a small country store at a place, called, “Sing Sing” and a doleful </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">singing it was. He purchased the goods and committed the sale of them and management </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of the whole business, to a young man of the name of Sacket, who, like all his former </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">agents proved a worthless person, and in a short year the whole was sunk and the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Revolutionary just then commencing, not a shilling of the outstanding debts was ever </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">collected. Soon driven by the fever of the time, he retired to the house, built by his Father </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">but now the property of his brother Stephen, at West Point, where the family remained in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a kind of Exile, until the Forts, Clinton and Montgomery, were taken by the British </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">troops, in October 1777, where they had an opportunity after being plundered of all their </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">effects, by the Hessians, to come down to New York with the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Army, and lived with me until a residence was provided for their better accommodation. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">During the whole residue of the War, the family remained in New York in tolerable </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">comfort, and my father was earning rather more than a bare support, when his unhappy </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">love of building again took place. He hired a lot and put up a Wooden house upon it, at a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">time when labor and materials of every kind were at prices beyond what was ever known </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in this country, previous to the horrid was of the Revolution. The building being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">unfinished never produced any income, and New York being evacuated the next year by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the British, the property in 1784 sold for about One Hundred and fifty Dollars, which in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1782 and 1783 cost upwards of One Thousand. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">By this time, my Father’s family at home were but four in number, having only </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">their daughter Eliza and son Richard with them. I had removed to Norwich, in Oct. 1783, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a month previous to the evacuation of New York, but upon too much uncertainty to take </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">him and family with me, having been able to hire only two rooms for the ensuing winter; </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">but in the spring following having obtained a large and convenient house, I sent for my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">parents and Sister to reside with me. They came in April, a few days before I removed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and were most kindly and dutifully received by the most amiable of men, General </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jedediah Huntington, who had married my sister Ann in 1777. My Father arrived in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Norwich in May, 1784, very ill, in a rapid consumption and he survived only to the 19th </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of June. He was buried there the following evening and very early in the spring of 1875 </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">his remains were taken to the family vault at New York and there deposited with those of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">his parents and children under the care and direction of Bro. Richard, then residing there </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a young practitioner in Physik and Surgery, My Father and Sister removed to my house </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">immediately after my Father’s death. I shall now give a concise account, and at the same </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">time the best I can, of the other children of my Grand-father’s. Richard, who had served </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">his time with Mr. Paul Richards an eminent Merchant at New York, after the expiration </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of his apprenticeship entered as a Midshipman with Captain Peter Warren commanding </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the King’s ships on the Station. Capt. Warren became Sir Peter and died, the celebrated </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">admiral of that name. Richard did not long continue in the Navy, but while he served </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">became a favorite with Sir Peter. He soon settled in Barbadoes and entered into </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">partnership with his cousin William, the son of his Uncle William of Moore Hall, Penn. </span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They were in great business and made rapid progress in wealth, but owing to the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">misfortune, the loss of many vessels &c., they at length failed. William soon died there. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Richard obtained a subordinate office in the customs which he held until his death. The </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">house and lot in New York, opposite the old family mansion, he left between his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">surviving brothers and sisters in eight equal shares, (which he inherited from his Father). </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For reasons highly equitable, my Aunt Ann, who is now the only survivor of my Grand-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">father’s children, has been for several years in possession of the whole rent except the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">one-eight belonging to Coz. Andrew Smith. Uncle Richard died some little time after my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Father; he never married. Uncle Daniel Moore died in Jamaica, insolvent, after having </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">been considered in affluent circumstances. He owned a valuable estate there, called </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Constant Spring, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the Parish of Liguama [Liguanea]; it sold 60,000 Pounds Sterling, and with all his </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">other property was unsufficient to pay his debts. He had been the warm and steady friend </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and most affectionate brother to my father, by whose Failure he lost a very large sum, but </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">it never broke in upon or in any way lessened his fraternal affection. I had corresponded </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with him ever since I was twelve years old and he invited me to come to him, where he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">would establish me in business. I accepted his kind offer. He had engaged a partner for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">me and I was prepared to g, when such advantageous prospects were offered to my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">acceptance in the customs and Recr. General’s office, that I was induced to give up my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jamaica plan. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Uncle Daniel never married. Uncle Lambert Moore was bred to the Law </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">under the patronage of Judge Chambers. Through his Uncle Daniel’s influence in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">England he obtained the office of Comptroller of the Customs, a very respectable and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">lucrative employment which he held, as long as the Government existed in this country. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">His first wife was Miss Jane Holland, the only daughter of the Hon. Edward Holland, the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mayor of New York. By that marriage he had many children. Daniel went when very </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">young to Jamaica, under the patronage of his worthy Uncle Daniel, who put him to the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">study of the Law with Mr. Richard Grant, to whom he became a partner. He afterwards </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was in partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. David Bailie, a Counsellor-at-law, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">became wealthy. When he died he was Recorder of Kingston and Col. of one of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">regiments there. He had been married but died a widower and left no children; and he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">bequeathed his property to his brother John and his sisters. Daniel left John a batchelor, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">who resides at Brooklyn, with two surviving sisters; Frances, the eldest, unmarried, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mary, the widow of the worthy Mr. Andrew Onderdonk of Hempstead Harbour, L-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Island: they had several children all which died in infansy. She had a handsome </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">independancy from her husband. There was another daughter, Rebecca, who died of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">cancer, not long since, a remarkably sensiable and sprightly woman; she had never </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">married. Several of the children died in infansy. Many years after the death of his first </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">wife, my Uncle married Miss. Gitty (probably Gertrude) Onderdonk, daughter of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">esteemed Mr. Henry Onderdonk, of North Hempstead the father of Andrew, by which </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">connection my Uncle thus became the bro-in-law and father-in-law of Andrew. By this </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">marriage he had and has left two very amiable daughters; Phebe, the wife of Mr. Bailie, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">above mentioned, (they live in England upon his fortune and have no children) and Jane, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the wife of Mr. Adam Fredwell, a highly respectable merchant in New York; - they have </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">several children and reside in Brooklyn. My uncle died some years ago and was entered </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the family vault at 78 years of age. He left an irreproachable character. Uncle William </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Moore served his apprenticeship, with Mr. Joseph Reade of New York, who sent him as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he agent to Curaçoa, where he very soon died. My father was his heir-at-law, but the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">property is now owned by Uncle Lambert’s heirs, having been swallowed up, with the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">rest, by his failure and insolvency. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Uncle Charles Moore, served his time with Mr. David Clarkson of New York </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and in early life was attached to the Hospital Department with the King’s Army, in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">old </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">French War which ended in 1763. He afterwards settled as a Country merchant at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Peekskill, where he failed and was poor ever after, until his death. In some way during </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the Revolution, he lived at West Point, upon the old place then owned by his brother </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stephen, but the American Government having selected West Point as a proper place for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the erection of fortifications, he was obliged to leave it and remove to the interior of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">North Carolina, where his brother Stephen had for some years resided, at Mt. Tirzah in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Person County. He was the postmaster there when he died, some years ago. He had </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">married the widow Eve Hall, while he resided at Peekskill, by whom he had and has left a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">very numerous family, none of whom do I remember (many I have never seen) except his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">eldest son Charles, now a Country Merchant in North Carolina, and his daughter Francis, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the wife of Mr. Henry Rogers of New York, by whom he has many children. Mr. Rogers </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">has retired from business and is supposed to be a wealthy gentleman. The present is his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">second wife and a very amiable woman. Her mother died lately at a very advanced age. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Uncle Stephen Moore, served his time with the Hon. John Watts, one of his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Magesty’s Council, an eminent merchant, and contractor for the Army Supplies at New </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">York. Upon the breaking out of the French War in 1754, he obtained a Commission in a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York Regiment, under the command of Col. Oliver Delancey, was in several of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">battles of those days and obtained considerable reputation in the expidition under Col. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bradstreet. He was at the taking of Fort Stanwix, so named in honor of the British </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">General who commanded on that occasion. He continued in the service through-out the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">war; at the close of it he was appointed Dep. Paymaster General in Canada. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I cannot help recording here, a circumstance evincive of his intrepidity, activity </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and zeal. General Haldimand, the in command in Canada, had occasion in mid-winter to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">send an express to Sir Jeffrey Amherst, the commander-in-chief in America, residing at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York. He applied to my uncle to look out for a person qualified for the purpose and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">acquainted with all the wilderness through which it was necessary to pass, neither the St. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lawrence nor the Lakes being frozen sufficiently hard to bear sleigh of horses and the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">dispatches requiring haste and immediately conveyance. My uncle after a few hours </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">preparation told the General he had found such a person and the letters were immediately </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">handed to him. He put a pound or two of dressed provision in his knapsack, put on his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">skates; slung his blanket and snow-shoes on his back and started from Quebec on the St. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lawrence. On arrival at Montreal he hired a couple of faithful Mohawks, armed as a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">guard, and all of the on snow-shoes (the snow very deep and no vestige of track) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">proceeded through the wilderness by the shortest course known only to his Indian guides, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to the north end of Lake Champlain. They there took to the lake and proceeded on it and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lake George to its south boundary and from thence to the Hudson. At Albany he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">discharged his Indians, took to his skates and kept on them till he reached Col. Philip’s </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">seat at the Yonkers, 20 miles from New York. He fell through the ice twice before he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">relinquished the frozen Hudson. From Col. Philip’s he walked to town and delivered his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">dispatches to Sir Jeffrey Amherst on the tenth day </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">after leaving Quebec. The General told my Uncle that his situation as dep. Paymaster </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">General to the King’s Army forbade his offering him any pecuniary remuneration, but </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">handsomely insisted upon his acceptance of postage, presenting him with a Roleau of 100 </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">guineas. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So honorable an anecdote I could not resist the gratification of inserting in this </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">family record. After leaving Canada, where he had relinquished his paymaster-ship for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">mercantile pursuits and having married a Miss Grizey Philips of a respectable family </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">from Boston, entered into partnership with Hugh Finlay Esq., Post-Master General for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Canada, who had also married a sister of my Uncle’s wife. They would have done will </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">but for wild speculations in the Lumber Business and trusting the Indian traders to a very </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">great amount, in consequence of which they failed tho’ I believe they paid all their </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">creditors. My Uncle then came and took possession of the house and land left him by his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">father at West Point. He remained there some years but not long after the American War </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he purchased and removed to a tract of land in North Carolina where he built a house for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">himself, and another for his brother Charles to whom he either gave a farm in fee or </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">during his life, I dont know which. He named his place Mt. Tirzah where he obtained the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Post Office for his brother. He was the only one of his father’s family who took an active </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">part in favor of the Revolution. He raised a regiment of 1000 strong and joined Gen. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Gates. He was in the first battle of Camden in South Carolina. At the first firing of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">British his whole regiment took to their heels and left him on the field where in a few </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">moments he was made a prisoner and sent to Charleston. He there found a very old </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">acquaintance and friend of the family, Col. John Harris Cruger, who had some years ago </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">been a partner of his and my Uncles brother, Daniel in Jamaica, but two such determined </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">foes in politicts could not easily been reconciled. Col. Cruger treated him harshly and my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Uncle met his frowns with equal determination and hostility. He was a good while a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">prisoner on Parole, but at length effected his exchange. After the evacuation of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Charleston by the British he unfortunately went there and made considerable purchases of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">goods in the hopes of selling them to advantage, but like the rest of his brothers in all </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">their Mercantile speculations the business ended in a heavy loss and involved him in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">great difficulties. Fortunately, however, at last the Gov. chose West Point as a strong Post </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to defend the Hudson River, of course, he was obliged to sell it to the United States and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the price was awarded by the Commissioners chosen for that purpose at Ten Thousand </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dollars. The payment of this money exonorated him from al his embarrassments and he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">died at Mt. Tirzah some years ago at an advanced age. His widow has since died. He has </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">left several children, how many I know not. His eldest daughter is one of the finest </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">women in this country but has been a cripple and for many years was confined to her bed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with the loss of the use of all of her limbs, occasioned solely by the prick of a cambric </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">needle in her thumb. Another of his daughters, who has several children, is the widow of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the late Mr. Stanford, a member of Congress from that State, who died during the session </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">about three years ago at Washington just as he was about returning to his family after an </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">illness of a few days. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I presume our family must have thirty or forty near connections at Mt. Tirzah and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">other parts of North Carolina whom we in this part of the United States have never seen </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and probably shall never know. I am now more briefly to mention the daughters of my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Grand-father; the eldest, and she the eldest child, was Francis. She married Samuel </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bayard Esq., who for many years was the sole vendue Master in New York by patent </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">from the Crown. He was a man of considerable talents; perhaps as an auctioneer New </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">York has never had his equal; his power in figures and every kind of calculation seemed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to be innate He would upon the instant, without pen of pencil, upon the sale of any </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">article by gross weight deduct the fare at any percentage turn the neat weight into suttle </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">pounds, if sold by the pound, which in those days was always the case in White Sugar </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">especially, and let the price be ever so fractional as to pence and farthings, tell the amount </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to the Buyer who sometimes wanted to make payment instantly and upon the spot. There </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">were then no public sales upon time. He was also a man of much wit and humor and fond </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of convivial evenings but at no time neglected his business. Their children that I know, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">were Samuel, who early went largely into the Dry-goods business having previously gone </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to England to settle the necessary correspondence and also to purchase his first </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">assortment. He was in partnership with his kinsman Wm. Bayard Esq., a nephew of his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Father’s. In a few years they gave up the business and he was appointed Dep. Sec'y of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the Province in the room of Goldsboro Bayard Esq., [sic-Goldsbrough Banyar, Esq.] whose principal in England, George </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Clark, Esq., formerly Gov. of New York, had sold the reversion of his commission in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">England to Wm. Knox Esq., (whose deputy I was in place of Mr. Bayard, while he was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">held a prisoner in charge of the Records at Esopus by the Revolutionary Government of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the State). At the close of the War he purchased a farm and built a house at Throg’s-neck </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to which he removed with his parents and their unmarried daughter, Rebecca. His Father </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and Mother, himself and sister, all died there. Their daughter Francis, married Philip I. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Livingston Esq., who soon after their marriage removed to Duchess Ct'y where he was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">appointed Sheriff in place of my wife’s Father, James Livingston, Esq. There they </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remained till the Revolutionary War, when he returned to New York privately and by the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">same Flag of truce by which my wife and only child came from West Point. He then </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">resided on Long Island and had some small appointment and income from the British </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Government. At the close of the War and after having resided some little time at Amboy </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and Norwalk, he purchased part of his brother-in-law Bayard’s farm and built at Throg’s </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Neck where he died of Apoplexy, in the month of December, 1818. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">His wife had died there a few years previous; He left several children, Amelia, the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">wife of Elijah Ferris, a man of fortune at Throg’s Neck, Harriet, still unmarried, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Maria the second wife of my Cousin Andrew Smyth and Francis, lately married her </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">cousin Samuel Hoffman; his youngest son Wm. died at Jamaica a few days after his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">arrival there, after having failed in business in New York, his eldest son Alfred married </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">my eldest daughter, Eliza Elloit, - He, also, having failed at New York, went with several </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of their children and his wife to that Island so fatal to many of our family; </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he also died there after a residence of six years, in the year 1817 so that he lost both of his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">sons there. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My daughter returned to New York in June 1818 and with the numerous family is </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">dependant upon her aged father, the writer of these pages. Eliza, Francis, Wm., Lydia and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Harriet, live with me; the two last were born in Jamaica where she lost one son, Alfred; </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">her next daughter to Francis, Ann, lives at present with my daughter Hart at Richmond, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Virginia; her son Charles is going as a Clerk to Mr. John C. Clarkson at Potsdam in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">County of St. Lawrance in this State; her son Wm. is an apprentice in New York learning </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the Cabinet making business; another daughter Maria, is at present at a boarding school </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in New York at the expense, temporarily, of her Aunt Hoffman, who, with her husband is </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">also gone to that fatal Island of Jamaica but with the view of soon returning. My Uncle </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bayard’s third daughter married and settled with her husband, Mr. Martin Hoffman, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Duchess County, where he died; his widow now lives at Throg’s Neck with her son </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stephen, who married a Miss Bayard, of Nova Scotia, daughter of Capt. Samuel Bayard </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">who was in the King’s Army during the War of the Revolution, and a cousin of Stephen </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Uncle Samuel who left his place at Throg’s Neck. She lost a fine daughter some few </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">years ago. Her son Samuel, who had long resided in Jamaica, lately returned and married </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">his cousin Francis, as above mentioned. Her son Henry is now doing well in business at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York in partner-ship with my Nephew, Thomas D. Moore, son of Rev. Thomas </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Moore. In Oct. 1819 he married my Grand-daughter, Eliza Livingston. She has another </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">son, I believe, named Anthony who is married and lives in Duchess County, on the place </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">or near where his parents formerly resided. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Grand-father’s second daughter Rebecca, died unmarried at New York </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">upwards of 80 years of age. She was a pius and amiable woman and tho’ she lived to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">such an advanced age was never in health a day since about her Eighteenth year. She </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">occasionally amused herself with drawing and had some turn for it, and at times was very </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">lively in Poetry. She was buried in the family vault. His third daughter, Susannah, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">married to the truly amiable John Smyth Esq., of Perth Amboy, a man that had not an </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">enemy before the year 1775. The rage of the times which succeeded, his placid and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">engaging manners notwithstanding, created him, as they did every Loyalist, a host of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">illiberal foes. He was Clerk to the Board of East Jersey proprietors and Treasurer of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Province when the Revolution commenced. He remained at Amboy till the evacuation of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the whole Province by the King’s troops took place in July 1777, when the ill judged and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fatal expedition against Philadelphia left New York. Mr. Smyth’s wife and son, Andrew, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with Fanny, the daughter of my Uncle Charles, who had lived with them since her </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">infansy, and my aged Grandmother Moore, with her two maiden daughters were obliged </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to quit their delightful residence and property and moved to New York and they all lived </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with me, free of expense to them, for some time, He was then appointed Treasurer to the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fund raised from the houses of the disaffected inhabitants who had most unwisely left the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">City the preceeding year on the British Army’s first invasion. Mr. Smyth was proscribed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">by the States of New Jersey and New York and by a base and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">inhuman law of New York, called the Troops Acts, made amenable to the state for all the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">money he had so collected for the support of the Alms House, all of which, was most </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">faithfully applied to its intended use by Commissioners appointed for that purpose. He </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was therefore obliged to fly with his family to England, where he died broken hearted </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with character irraproachable. The British Government allowed him during his life 200 </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">sterling a year and his widow during her life half that amount. But all the compensation </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he received from his property confiscated in Jersey was not, I believe, above One </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thousand Pounds. His widow, son and Fanny, her niece, returned to New York in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">year of 1791. The widow died there some years ago at about 80 years of age and was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">enterred in the family vault. Her son Andrew’s first wife, was a Miss Parker of Amboy, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">daughter to the Mayor of the place, a man of wealth and great consideration in that State, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">but as far as I could ever learn, Mrs Smyth never received any part of her Father’s estate. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She left no children. His second wife, now living, is the daughter of Mr. P.I. Livingston, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">already mentioned when speaking of that family, and has two children, Francis and John, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and are all now in New York in very poor circumstances. He is one of the weighmasters </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">appointed by the Corporation. The last survivor of all my Grand-father’s children is his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">youngest child, Ann, a maiden Lady of refined manners and improved mind. She is now </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">upwards of 80 and enjoys good health and spirits and is very active. She was educated in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">England and lived many years with her Uncle Daniel at Great Marlow. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have thus, for the information of my children and their respective families, given </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the most accurate account which my memory can afford of my Grandfather’s family and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the families of his descendants, not one syllable of which has ever before put on paper, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">not seen nor heard by any other individual. No doubt it is inaccurate in many particulars, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">tho’ all the leading features of it are in substance literal facts. But while I write on this </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">subject without better and more full information, I have thought it a duty incumbent upon </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">me that my children may know something of the respectable family from which they are </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">descended, well aware at the same time, that after my death and without this manuscript, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">they and their posterity would forever remain ignorant of their ancestors. Except my aged </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Aunt Ann, I am the oldest living being of all my Grandfather’s descendants, and being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">myself in my 75th year. I know I had no time to lose, and that now or never could my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">family receive the information. I have thus in some haste committed to paper. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It now remains for me to give an account of my father’s family, of my brothers </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and sisters and their respective families and shall finish this record with such particulars </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of myself and children as will no doubt be more interesting to my immediate descendants </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">that any part of the proceeding. My mother, Elizabeth Channing, was the only child of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wm. Channing Esq., of Dorchester, England. He came to New York as Agent for the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">British Navy about the year 1720. He married Miss Ann Bowns, of Middleton, New </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">York. She died soon after the birth of my mother, who was also deprived of her father </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and became an orphan at two years of age. She was brought up in the family of John </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pintard </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Esq., an Alderman and Merchant of New York, whose wife was a sister of my mother’s. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My mother had a polite and useful boarding school education and had a handsome </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">independancy left by her parents in New Jersey. I have no record of the Channing family </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in England. There was a colateral branch in New Port, Rhode Island, the Father of which </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was named John, whose eldest son, William, was Attorney General of the State; his wife </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was daughter of William Ellery Esq., a Member of Congress and Colector of that Port. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wm. left a large family. One of his sons, Wm., is a Presbyterian Clergyman of eminent </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">talents now residing at Boston, who has an Uncle also a clergyman, still living, formerly </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">at New London, but of late years had relinquished his profession and become a man of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the World. They are both, with all of the family, said to be Iocinians. I know not when </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">my Mother’s Parents were born, married or died, nor do I, of course, know their ages. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Father married in a year or two after his return from England; He was, I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">believe, about 22. My mother was 17 and was born the 17, April, Old Style, 1727. He </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">died at Norwich at the house of his son-in-law, General Huntington, (who married my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">sister Ann, at Norwich in 1777.) the 19th of June 1784, at about 63 years of age. My </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mother, who had lived with me from that time, till her removal to by brother Richard’s at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Staten Island about 20 years after, died at his Parsonage House the 7th, of Dec. 1805, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">her 78 years. She had through life enjoyed a great share of health as had also my Father </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">until a short time before his death. Their remains are deposited in the family vault in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Trinity Church Yard, New York. I was their first born, the 18 of April, O.S. 1745, at the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">house of my Grand-father. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had a good education, English and Latin, and was preparing for College, being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">intended for a Clergyman of the Church of England (to which every member of my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Grand-father’s family without any exception belonged) when at 12 years of age, being at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">board on a vessel laying opposite to my Father’s store, I unfortunately fell down the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hatchway and fractured my head. The Physicians and Surgeons who attended me being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of opinion that the further prosecution of my studies would probably be injurious to the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">brain and to my health I was on my recovery placed in my Father’s store where I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remained until my 14th year, when, on the 20th of November, 1759, I was bound </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">apprentice to a gentleman from Dublin, Mr. John Foster, who was at the head of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">greatest Mercantile House at New York but which failed in the year of 1762, in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">consequence of their great speculations, both in this Country and the Continent of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Europe. Mr. Foster retired to Boston in expectation of resuming business again but his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">partners in Ireland having also failed and the Creditors in this Country unwilling to make </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">any compromise he removed privately to France, from whence I corresponded with him, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he having, young as I was, appointed me his Attorney, and such monies as I could collect, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I duly committed to him. My Father’s family being at Peekskill, I was put to board at a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. David Fleming’s, who soon after died and not knowing what else to do, I very </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">unfortunately and having no person in the World to whom I could look for support </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">borrowed 500 Pounds at interest and without the lease knowledge of the business and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ignorant of the duplicity and chancery of Mankind, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">embarked, by Mr. Foster’s permission who sent me my Indenture from Boston in Nov. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1762, in the Manufactory now vacant by Mr. Fleming’s death. Being obliged to confide </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the Overseer and Laborers I employed (who all cheated and deceived me) at the end of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">18 months my poor little capital was totally lost and at 19 years of age I was again adrift. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My worthy friend, Mr. Wm. Bedlow on going to England, requested me to reside </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with and take charge of his family which I did until his return in the year 1764. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fortunately for myself and the large family I have since brought up, I was taken to a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">clerkship in the Custom House at the allowance of Fifty Pounds a year, which was at that </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">time the usual wages and my Father’s family having returned a Bankrupt from Peekskill, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I boarded with him and paid him Forty out of my Fifty Pounds a year and the residue </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">furnished me with clothing – (now, alas, a young man thinks 500 dollars insufficient for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the same purpose) I went into the Custom House, the 8th May, 1765, a day ever to be </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remembered by me. On the 24th of Oct. following, Andrew Elliott Esq., Son of Lord </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Minto, of Scotland and brother to Sir Gilbert of the King’s Privy Council and Receiver </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">General of his Magesty’s Customs and rents, appointed me his deputy worth to me about </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Four Hundred Dollars annually in addition to my Clerkship and from this time received </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and paid the whole of the King’s revenue at New York. On the 5th Sept. 1768, my Uncle </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lambert Moore, the Comptroller, appointed me his Deputy which office I accepted to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">oblige him whenever he should be absent without any demand of salary. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">By this time I had paid the 500 Pounds, with the interest, from which I was in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">debt, being the money I had borrowed in 1762, paid my board constantly to my Father </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and not only was out of debt, but has something left. On the 29th Sept. 1769, Charles </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Williams Esq., a Naval Officer, appointed me his Deputy with the salary of $200.00 a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">year and from this time I received and weekly paid all the fees of the Custom House and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Naval Office to the several officers to whom they were due as well as the fees of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Surveyor and Searcher, Alex. Colden Esq., of the Lieu’t. Governor Colden, Mr. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Williams, the Naval Officer, having died at a very advanced age, on the 2nd. of July, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1773, his successor, Stephen Delancey Esq., (son of Oliver, one of the Council) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">appointed me his Deputy by Commission the next day, the 3rd., and through the advice of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Elliot, my best and constant friend and Patron, the salary was raised from $200.00 to</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">$375.0 per annum and at the same time Mr. Elliot having orders from the Commissioners </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of the Customs at Boston to act as Receiver from Greenwich Hospital dues which office </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Williams had always filled was pleased to give me all the Emoluments of that office </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">as his dep’y which was worth about $200.00 per annum. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">By this time I had about $3000.00 at interest, the income from which and from </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">my office I judged would enable me to become a housekeeper with a reasonable prospect </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to support a family respectably and having been for about two years attached to Miss </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Judith Livingston of Poughkeepsie (who I first saw at St. Georg’s Chapel) we were there </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">married on the 26 of Oct., 1773, it being her 20th birthday. The custom House (my late </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Grandfather’s Mansion) was allotted me for a residence a spacious building – the largest </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the City, the rent of which was $200.00 </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a year and belonging to my Grand-mother. The Crown allowed the whole, except 25, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">which I paid. On the 7th of January 1774, Mr. Delancey was superceded by Samuel </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kembell Esq., as Naval Officer, who continued me his deputy at the same salary. These </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">several officers I held enjoying the friendship and patronage of all the principals in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fullest confidence of them and at the same time highly popular with all who had business </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">at the Custom House, (the heat and disturbances of the time, notwithstanding) until the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Port was shut by Act of Parliament in the commencement of the year 1776. In April of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">that year the trouble became very serious at New York. The King’s Troops had evacuated </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Boston and part of the American Army had arrived at New York and commenced there </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fortifications and Barricading the Wharfs and Streets. It was therefore high time for the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">King’s officers and the friends of Gov’t. to seek for more quiet quarters. The Collector, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Elliot, went to Amboy leaving me his directions to take the seals of office in my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">possession and from what ever retreat I went to to join him, if practicable, at New York, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">as soon as possible after the British Army (and event looked for speedily) should be in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">possession of the City. The Comptroller, my Uncle, went to Hempstead Harbour, where </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">he was safe at the house of his father-in-law, Mr. Underdonk a staunch whig as Rebels </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">were then called. The Naval Officer Mr. Kemble, Brother-in-law to Gen. Gage, the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Commander-in-chief, had last year gone to Boston where he was Sec’ty to the General. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All the other officers secreted themselves in the best way they could. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My wife went a few days before me to West Point where my Father, who was the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">King’s Weighmaster and Guager, had gone some weeks ago. I joined them about the 5th </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of April after being grossly insulted by some Vagabond Laborers on the Public Works. I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remained there and at Poughkeepsie in tolerable tranquility (though robbed of my Arms). </span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The British Army having, after their victory at Brooklyn on the 27th of August, crossed at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kips Bay on York island and obtained posession of the City on the 14th of Sept. (on the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">15th some base incindiaries who remained for that vile purpose, fired the City. Upwards </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of 1000 houses were destroyed on the 17th of Oct, I left West Point and lodged at Dr. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wintts at Tappan, obtained a pass form Amboy from Mr. Attwater, a Member of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Provincial Congress of New York, who to my great astonishment I soon met with at New </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">York as a good loyalist. Uncle Stephen Moore, who had been with us at West Point on a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">visit, rode with me as far as Hackinsack Bridge, where he parted with me on his way </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">home, in North Carolina. I went to a Doctor Lazier’s, a loyalist, on my way home whose </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">house I passed a large body of American Troops. Had they stopped and examined my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">saddle bags. the King’s Seals would have been discovered who I was and where I was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">going to and thus there would have ended my Journey and Imprisonment been my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">portion. He accompanied me at night to a private place at Tacauca Meadow, where </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Guides were ready to attend all such friends of Government as were endeavoring to get to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It was an extreme dark night. With several other Loyalist and our faithful Guide </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">we left our hiding place and proceeded in utter silence through the woods and swamps to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">eh Hudson on the bank of which, near Weehock Ferry, signals by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">lights were made by the boats from Bloomingdale which every night came over for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Passengars. In the impenitrable darkness, which absolutely prevented my seeing the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Guide by the shirts of whose coat I held in following him, we were obliged to let him </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">procede us and to jump down a precipice of many feet to get to the River. We were </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">greatly alarmed at finding no boat had come over that night. The Guide feared we should </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">all be made Prisoners by the Guard, who patroled there every hour. Happily he found a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">large Pettianger on the shore but without oar or rudder. We also luckily found a few </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">staves that had drifted on shore. By our united labors we got the boat afloat and pushed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">off but a minute or two when we were fired upon by the Guard from an eminance. The </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">darkness prevented their seeing though they heard us. We soon got under the protection </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of the Phenix, Man-of-war, Capt. Parker (since, admiral, Sir Hyde Parker), and on </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">landing found ourselves on the rocks about four miles from the City. We scrambled along </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">shore about half a mile and for under the residence of a wealthy friend who I had known </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">many years, Mr. Jacob Watson. He was called up and received us all with great </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">hospitality and had beds laid for us on his floors. Early on the 19th we walked to town, the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Capt. of the Guard at Mr. Watson’s house, letting us proceed (without waiting permission </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">from Lord Piercy, who was the Gen’l. Commandant) upon my assurance that I would </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">immediately wait upon his Lord-ship and report our arrival at the garrison. Mr. Watson </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">had informed the officer who I was. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I rode out to Lord Piercy’s quarters and was politely received. I accidentally and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">hapily met in passing his door, my old and worthy friend Daniel Chamier Esq., the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Commissary General. Being out of employment he immediately too me into his office at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">5/ Sterling a day and rations until, as he politely said, something better might offer. On </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the 26th. of Nov., The Honorable Henry White begin authorized by the Secretary of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Province, Wm. Knox Esq., in England, who enjoyed the same by reversion from Gov. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Clark Esq., who had it by Patent, appointed me Dep. Sect’y with Fifty Pounds Sterling a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">year and the usual allowance for house rent and all the perquisites attending the business. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This, while I held the office was a very lucrative appointment, especially from the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">marriage licenses. Soon after this appointment, Gov. Tryon called on the citizens to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">attend him to sweat allegiance to the King. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sheriff, old Mr. Roberts, accordingly administered the oath and the Secretary </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of the Province giving to each individual the proper certificate – about 500 were </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">qualified, many of the violent Revolutionist were among them, their oaths </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">notwithstanding – I boarded at my old friends Capt. Taylor’s, the father of Mr. Brancher, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">whenever not otherwise engaged. I dined with the Commissary Gen’t. where I first made </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">an acquaintance with my valuable friend, Gregory Townsand Esq., who was one of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Deputies after whom my eldest son was named and by whose will he was left and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">afterwards duly received Fie Hundred Pounds Sterling. Mr. Elliot had made his escape </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and got to New York from Jersey soon after I did but the Custom House was never </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">opened during the War. About the middle of Dec. I, obtained a flag of truce from the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Admiral Lord Howe and accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Inglis, Rector of Trinity Church, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">whose </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">induction by Gov. T. I attended and to whom in my official character as Secretary of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Province, I administered the usual oaths to Government and Philip I. Livingston Esq., </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">went up the Hudson for our families. We were not suffered to proceed beyond Verplank’s </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Point. We wrote to the Provincial congress in session at Fishkill making our request. It </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was immediately granted but with express and rather illiberal orders that neither of us </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">should be permitted to land. Col. Taper, who commanded at Verplank’s Point, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">superceded their orders and politely invited us to his quarters as did the Commissary, Mr. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Andrew Hawks Hay and Justice Smith (since Chief Justice of Canada) on the opposite </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">shore at Haverstraw at whose house we dined occasionally. The Congress sent our </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">families and effects down to New York in two sloops, in one of which my brother </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Richard also came at their expense but Col. N. Fick, who bore their flag of truce, was not </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">suffered to land in retaliation of their refusal of that privilege to us. We arrived in a heavy </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">storm on Christmas day and were hospitably entertained at the House of Mr. Henry Perry </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of the Com. Gen’l Department. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My friend Mr. Richard Yates gave me possession of a comfortable house in John </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Street for which he would not take any rent. On the 1st. of May, 1777, I hired and moved </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to a handsome house in Broad Street of Mr. John Livingston’s. On the 17th. of July, Mr. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Elliot was appointed Superintendent General of the police and Superintendant of the Port, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(in place of acting as Coll’r of the Customs) the Civil Gov’t not being organized nor was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">it during the War. On the 18th. he appointed me Chief Clerk in the Superintendant’s Port </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Office at 10/ a day. On the 30th. April, 1778, Mr. White gave me a new commission as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dept. Sest’t in consequence of Mr. Knox having succeeded on the death of Mr. Clark as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the Principal. In the summer of this year my kinsman Samuel Bayard Esq., who had been </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Deputy Sect’y previous to the Declaration of Independence, returned to New York from </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Esopus where he had been sent by the Provincial Congress as a Prisoner on Parole with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the records, which wren now taken from him, the State Gov’t being lately organized. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Although there was no obligation to do so on my part, without Mr. White’s superceding </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the commission he had given me, yet from my connection with Mr. Bayard and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">commiseration for his long captivity, I surrendered the office to him without its being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">required of me and probably Mr. White was not pleased on my so doing, and gave him </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">about $400.00, part of my perquisite on all the marriage licenses I had issued while in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Office. On the 25th. Sept. Mr. John Aregent, brother-in-law of the celebrated Edmund </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Burks, one of the Deputies in the Sup’t of the Port’s Department, returning to England </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and (through Mr. Elliot’s patronage and recommendation) he appointed me his Deputy in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">addition to my Clerk’s ship. I received 100 Pounds Sterlings a year. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All those offices I held throughout the War, besides which I did considerable and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">profitable Mercantile business. Thus it appeared I was not an amiable man, but made the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">most of every advantage I had, foreseeing how the War would terminate. Peace being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">declared and the British to leave New York in a few weeks I went to Conneticut to know </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">whether I might receive protection there. I was recommended to Gov. Trumbull by my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">brother-in-law General Huntington whose first wife </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was the Governor’s daughter. My wife and child were then, and had been for two months </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">past, at West Point at the General’s quarters where my sister, his present wife, was with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">all his family. The Governor received me very politely and told me there was no law nor </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">any circumstance remaining since the Peace to prevent my removing to Conneticut under </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">protection and perfect safety. On returning to New York, I found my wife and daughter </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">there and an infant son, Townsend, 9 mos. old (M. W. H.) and on the 20th. of Oct. 1783, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">we took a melancholy leave of my Parents connections and highly valued friends and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">arrived at Norwich the next day, where myself and my family were as kindly received as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">if no War or Revolution had ever taken place. Much otherwise was I treated by the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Governor of New York, where even since the Treaty of Peace had been ratified by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Congress, I was proscribed and all my property as well as my person would have been </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">hazarded had I not removed in time to Conneticut, where I passed seven happy years. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On my birth-day, the 29th. April, 1791, I unhapily returned with my family to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York in the hope of making something more than I posessed for my children but in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">less than a year I lost near Ten Thousand Dollars by engagements in the Wild </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Speculations of the day and by placing unbounded confidence where, by sad experience I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">too late found none was due. In May, 1792, I removed to Hempstead, where my brother </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thomas was the Rector and took lodgings and board at Mr. Harry Peter’s. In May, 1793, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hired a house and in honor of my beloved friend Mr. Elliot, called it Elliot Place. My </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">wife, having after a few days illness, died there, Dec. 1813, and my daughter Lydia, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">having married to the Rev’d Wm. Hart, 24, June, 1815, and removed to Richmond in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Virginia, 10 months afterward, I could not think of living alone, not having one of my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">children left with me; I gave my daughter all my furniture, hired my house to Mr. Samuel </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Whiting with whose family I boarded the residue of the summer and early in Nov. went </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with my Grand-daughter, Ann Livingston to Richmond, Virginia where also, my brother </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the Bishop resides. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In May, 1816, I returned to New York, sold my property at Hempstead, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">passed my time between that City, Long Island, the Springs and other places. In Nov. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">following I returned to Richmond, and in the like-manner the two following years in one </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of which, my son Thomas accompanied me and in another my son John came there from </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jamaica. In Sept. 1818, went with Thomas to Onandago to John’s marriage. Immediately </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">upon my return, in consequence of continued rains, excrable roads and too much fatigue, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was taken ill and confined to my lodging at Sister Moore’s all October. In Nov. went to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">house-keeping at New York, for the accommodation of my daughter Livingston, who </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">having lost her husband at Jamaica had returned with her numerous family of children to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">New York, in the preceding June, from which time until they came to me they resided at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Throg’s Neck at her Father-in-law’s Mr. Livingston. Finding my expenses at New York </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">greater than was convenient, I removed to Amboy, (the 23rd. of April, 1819), where we </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">now reside but with very little change for the better as to expense. In June, last, I had a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">relapse of the Intermitting Fever and hitherto remained very feeble. I have thus given a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">short history of my life, which though a very busy one for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">18 years from 1765 to 1783, the whole of the residue to the present day, had been, too </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">much of it, an idle one. </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have indeed been more particular than I at first intended, but a no living Being </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">but myself could give my children any account of the way in which I have passed through </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">upwards of 74 years, I have thought it might be satisfactory to them and their children to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">know something of their Ancestor and of his Ancestor as far as ever came to his </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">knowledge. The idea of writing the record was affectionately suggested to me in one of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">my daughter Lydia’s letters or it is probable I should never have thought of it, in which </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">case none of my children would ever had known much of their family or connections or </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of their own Father’s life, there not being one individual of the race left except myself but </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">who are ignorant of all I have thus committed to writing. May all my children continue to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">live with as much credit to themselves, as their Ancestors and immediate connections </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">have done, for I have never known or heard of one of them who has ever disgraced the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">name. </span></div></div>David Jeffreyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07640894359150492921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972333218562933586.post-34826136516355467422010-01-25T00:00:00.004-05:002010-05-01T14:54:05.294-04:00James Edwin Webb<script type="text/javascript">

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>[EDITOR'S NOTE]:</strong> For those of you who attended the 1991 West Point Reunion, do you remember visiting the Thayer Award Room? One of those who was given this prestigious award was a member of our Stephen Moore Family. James E. Webb received that recognition in 1981. In addition, Webb was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon Johnson in 1969. His recognition continues to this day, as the future telescope that follows the <em>Hubble</em> was named the <em>James Webb Space Telescope </em>in 2002. Thanks to Thompson Webb, III who directed me to this site.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>James Edwin Webb</strong> (October 7, 1906 – March 27, 1992) was the second administrator of NASA, serving from February 14, 1961 to October 7, 1968.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb oversaw NASA from the beginning of the Kennedy administration through the end of the Johnson administration, thus overseeing all the critical first manned launches in the Mercury through Gemini programs, until just before the first manned Apollo flight. He also dealt with the Apollo 1 fire.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The planned scientific probe (launch now scheduled 2014) originally called the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) was renamed in 2002 as the James Webb Space Telescope to honor Webb's memory.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Early years</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb was born in the hamlet of "Tally Ho", Granville County, North Carolina; Webb completed his college education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received an A.B. degree in education in 1928. He was a member of the Acacia Fraternity. Webb became a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, and he served as a Marine Corps pilot on active duty in 1930-32. Webb then studied law at the The George Washington University Law School in 1934-36, and he was admitted to the Bar of the District of Columbia in 1936.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Career</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb enjoyed a long career in public service in Washington, D.C., first serving as a secretary to the North Carolina Congressman Edward W. Pou, in 1932-34. He next served as an assistant in the office of O. Max Gardner, an attorney and former governor of North Carolina, in 1934-36. In 1936, Webb became the personnel director, the secretary-treasurer, and later the vice president of the Sperry Gyroscope Company in Brooklyn, New York, before he re-entered the Marine Corps in 1944 during World War II.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After World War II, Webb returned to Washington and served as executive assistant to O. Max Gardner, by then an Under Secretary in the U.S. Department of the Treasury, before being named as the director of the Bureau of the Budget in the Office of the President of the United States, a position that he held until 1949. President Harry S. Truman next requested for Mr. Webb to serve as an Under Secretary of State in the U.S. Department of State. When the Truman administration ended in January 1953, Webb left Washington, D.C., for a position in the Kerr-McGee Oil Corp. in Oklahoma City, but he was still active in government circles, for instance serving on the Draper Committee in 1958.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>NASA</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb returned to Washington in 1961 when he accepted the position of the Administrator of NASA. Under his direction, the agency undertook to achieve the goal set by President John F. Kennedy of landing an American on the Moon before the end of the decade of the 1960s through the success of the Apollo program. For seven years after President Kennedy's May 25, 1961, announcement of the goal of a manned lunar landing, through October 1968, Webb endeavored for support for NASA in Congress. As a longtime Washington insider, and with the backing of President Lyndon B. Johnson, he was able to acquire continued support for and resources to accomplish the Apollo Moon landing on the schedule President Kennedy had announced.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">During his administration, NASA developed from a loose collection of research centers into a coordinated organization. Webb had a key role in creating the Manned Spacecraft Center, later, the Johnson Space Center, near Houston, Texas. Despite the pressures to focus on the Apollo program, Webb ensured that NASA carried out a meaningful program of planetary exploration with the Mariner and Pioneer space probe programs.</span><br />

Webb told the media at the time, "We've always known that something like this was going to happen sooner or later. ... Who would have thought that the first tragedy would be on the ground?" Webb went to President Johnson and asked that NASA be allowed to handle the accident investigation, and to direct its recovery from the accident. He promised to be truthful in assessing blame, and he pledged to assign that to himself and NASA management, as appropriate. The agency set out to discover the details of the tragedy, to correct problems, and to continue its progress to the Apollo 11 lunar landing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb reported his investigation's findings to various Congressional committees, and he took a personal grilling at nearly every meeting. Whether by happenstance or by design, Webb managed to deflect some of the backlash over the accident away from both NASA as an agency and from the Johnson administration. As a result, NASA's image and popular support were largely undamaged.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However, Webb was a Democrat tied closely to Johnson, and, with Johnson choosing not to run for reelection, decided to step down as administrator as this would allow the next president to choose his own administrator. [1]</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb was informed by CIA sources in 1968 that the Soviet Union was developing its own heavy N1 rocket for a manned lunar mission, and he directed the MSFC to prepare Apollo 8 for a possible lunar orbital mission in 1968. At the time Webb's assertions about the Soviet Union's abilities were doubted by some people, and the N-1 was dubbed "Webb's Giant". However later revelations about the Soviet Moonshot - after the collapse of the USSR - have given support to Webb's conclusion. Webb left NASA in October 1968, just before the first manned flight in the Apollo Program was scheduled for launch.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In 1969, Webb was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon Johnson.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Personal life</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After retiring from NASA, Webb remained in Washington, D.C., serving on several advisory boards, including serving as a regent of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1981, he was awarded the prestigious Sylvanus Thayer Award by the United States Military Academy at West Point for his dedication to his country.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Webb was married to Patsy Aiken Douglas in 1938, and they had two children: Sarah Gorham Webb (b. 1945), and James Edwin Webb, Jr., (b. 1947). He died in 1992, and was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Legacy</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the 1998 miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon, Webb was played by Dan Lauria.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope was renamed in Webb's honor in 2002. The telescope is referred to as "the Hubble successor".</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Stephen Moore was a prolific writer and record keeper and fortunately, much of his writing is preserved in various repositories. The following document may be found at the Wilson Library, Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.<sup><b>1</b></sup> It appears to be a draft of an address, written about 1797, organizing his thoughts on the topic of revising the Constitution.</em></strong><br />
</div><div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>~~~~~~</em></strong><br />
</div><strong> All political power is vested in and derived from the people only.~~</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong> A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of Liberty.~~</strong><br />
</div><br />
Happy for us my fellow citizens of North Carolina, that the two foregoing articles are not only implied, but are wisely recorded in our list or Bill of Rights, as the uncontroverted Privileges of the body of the people at large—they are of ancient authority, & it wants nothing but the becoming spirit of a free people to establish & maintain the same Principles to the last days of our liberty—<br />
<br />
We are now in the 21<sup>st</sup>. year since our present Govern. had its formation, & was there no other reason than the general Idea set forth in our declaration of rights, that a frequent Recurrence & al.<br />
<br />
It would be highly proper that the people should claim a Privilege of reminding our rulers that they have not a life inheritance in their power of Governing—long used customs (even without an original authority) <strike>gain</strike> root themselves into establishments, & are frequently in that way made use of for pernicious purposes; but my fellow citizens, we need not at present be urged by Ideal motives for revising our Constitution—look to our Gen. Assembly in session, & look to the harvest of their labour. If the crop be worth the seed, I am bad at calculation.<br />
<br />
Next, turn your attention to the Judicial benches of our counties, & you will there see crowds of Justices Sacrificing the laws of their Country. If it be not altogether from their ignorance, it is by their aspiring for popularity or for some other sinister purpose. Judicial acts of partiality are now become so common & the Courts are so contemptible in several other respects, that many people rather submit to private injuries, than be put to the hazard of being wronged by such mock Judiciaries<br />
<br />
These and sundry other more minute Evils, with the detail of which it is not necessary to lengthen this address, must convince every considerate person that (although our Constitution is upon the whole as good as we could have expected at the distressed time of its formation) still a 21 years trial, together with the sundry changes in our general as well as State Governm’t. shews an absolute necessity for a number of very important changes in the fundamentals of our Constitution—<br />
<br />
The ability & Constitutional or rather innate propriety of taking in hand a reformation, being beyond contradiction, let us next consider the measures we are to pursue to bring about the desired purposes—And to this end it is recommended that the free men in each County, do for the sake of uniformity, in an orderly & peaceable manner, convene at their usual places of holding Elections, on the ____ & ____ days of August next, and then make a Judicious choice of 5 reputable & well informed men, to represent their body in a general convention of the States & that Selection to meet at the Seat of Government on the ___ day of November, & then & there to take the Government into their hands, and frame & establish such a Constitution for the future Government of our Country as in their wisdom they shall see right.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stephen Moore began the acquisition of his Mt. Tirzah estate on 4 January 1777 when he purchased a tract of 220 (described in the indenture as 265) acres of land in Orange County from Arthur and Elizabeth Moore, no relation to Stephen<sup><b>1</b></sup>. This land had been part of a 365 acre grant made to John Allen Tharp in 1761 by John Earl of Granville. On 27 March of the same year, Stephen bought another Orange County parcel from James Dickins<sup><b>2</b></sup>. This parcel, described in the indenture as 70 acres, was actually 145 acres and comprised the remainder of the 365 acres of the Tharp grant. On 9 May 1777, these parcels became part of the new Caswell County. The two parcels looked like this (measurements in chains, 1 chain = 66 feet): </span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The property lay on minor tributaries of the Flat River in the western part and was traversed southwest to northeast by the Hillsboro Road.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On 11 July 1778, Stephen laid claim to three parcels of land surrounding his homestead<sup><b>3</b></sup>. His claims were filed in Palmyra and warrants were issued for the parcels to be surveyed. A warrant for the survey of grant 801 was issued on 11 July 1778. This tract was surveyed on 24 December 1778<sup><b>4</b></sup>. The State of North Carolina ultimately approved the claims and granted the three parcels of land to Stephen; Grant No. 689 of 640 acres<sup><b>5</b></sup>; Grant No. 691 of 692 acres<sup><b>6</b></sup>; and Grant No. 801<sup><b>7</b></sup> of 640 acres. The deeds were recorded on 10 November 1784. Grant No. 691 was actually 640 acres as testified to by the 1784 tax list of Caswell County. In that list, Stephen was credited with 2285 acres, the original 365 acres plus 1920 acres in grants. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On 19 January 1788, Stephen purchased a 250 acre parcel from Robert Dickins.<sup><b>8</b></sup> This parcel was divided by the Deep Creek of the Flat River and contained a ford on that creek for the Hillsboro Road. Stephen purchased a second parcel from Robert Dickins on 17 February 1790 comprising 125 acres lying on small branches of Deep Creek.<sup><b>9</b></sup> Stephen’s holdings were now 2660 acres. After Stephen’s death, his executors Grizey, Robert and Phillips purchased, on 28 May 1800, an additional 13 ¾ acres from James Cochran, the property described as “on Meadow Br on the Great Road.”<sup><b>10</b></sup> This parcel, a small triangular plot, lay on the north side of the Helena-Moriah Road.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are numerous differences in the various surveys of the estate. The most accurate surveys seem to be the ones performed by Phillips Moore in October 1805. I have chosen to use the metes and bounds of those surveys, with minor exceptions, as the baseline for this study.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stephen’s sons Robert and Phillips had established their own homesteads and their “plantations” are mentioned in Stephen’s will. Stephen’s brother Charles had his home on Stephen’s land, Stephen’s will stating that Charles held a life lease on the land and that it would revert upon Charles’ death. Charles died ca. 1801 and his lease, therefore, does not show in the plats of the division of the estate following Stephen’s death. Stephen’s will suggests that Robert and Phillips had purchased land adjacent to Stephen’s estate. His bequest states, “The plantations now in the respective possession of my sons Robt. Moore and Phillips Moore are hereby confirmed to them as a part of their respective bequest, together with as much land contiguous and convenient to their respective settlements….” Additionally, the descriptions of Mary Stanford’s and Grizey’s parcels in the 1805 survey show that Robert owned property to the north of Stephen’s estate (See attachment K). </span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stephen’s will (attachment I) stipulated that his wife Grizey was to receive 1/3rd of the estate and that the remaining 2/3rds was to be equally divided among his children and his sister Ann. The Person County Court met in September 1803 and ordered Jesse Dickins and other Commissioners to divide the estate. Their proposed division of the estate was exhibited in Court in the March term of 1804 and ordered to be recorded.<sup><b>11</b></sup> That division is shown below:</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Grizey’s “widow’s dower” was included in the parcels laid out for Samuel, Portius and Sidney. One wonders how this division was concluded as it clearly is not in accordance with Stephen’s will, which stipulated that Grizey would get one-third of the estate and the remaining two-thirds would be equally divided among his children and sister. By August of 1805, it was clear that this division was not working for the legatees, who made the following petition.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of note is the fact that Portius, age 20, did not sign the petition. He stood to lose land in any subsequent division honoring Grizey’s entitlement to one-third of the estate’s land. The other two legatees, Samuel and Sidney, were ages 16 and 10 respectively and not of age to have signed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Commissioners met again on 26 and 27 December 1805 and reapportioned the estate. In this division Grizey was allotted one-third of the estate and the remaining two-thirds was equitably divided among the other legatees. A monetary settlement was made among the latter based on the value of the property they were allotted. The plats of this division and the terms of the monetary settlements were exhibited in open court in the March Term 1806 and ordered to be recorded.<sup><b>12</b></sup> Here is a plat of the 1806 division.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Taking what appear to be the most accurate measurements from the various surveys and the very detailed 1805 survey description of Robert’s parcel on Deep Creek, as well as the configuration of that creek, we can postulate, with reasonable accuracy, what the estate would have looked like following the 1806 division as an outline on the topography.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the name of God Amen.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I, Stephen Moore of Person County in the State of North Carolina, being in health of body and of disposing mind and memory do make this my last Will and Testament.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">First I do order and direct that my loving wife Grizey Moore do hold and remain in possession of my homestead plantation with all the buildings and improvements thereon together with as much land contiguous and convenient as to make one full third part of my real estate and also one third part of my Personal Estate agreeable to the laws of the State of North Carolina; in, such behalf made and provided.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">My executors are to raise from such part of my Estate as is not otherwise disposed of so much as may be necessary to pay my just and lawful debts and to pay the same with all convenient speed. – My wife Grizey Moore is requested to take upon herself the burden and charge of the guardianship and tuition of our children during their nonage unless any or either of them (having a lawful right thereto) may otherwise choose in their own behalf.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our elder children having had their nurture and education without charge having been made against them personally it is my Will that a reasonable and equitable proportion of my estate (before a division) be set apart and appropriated to the nurture and tuition of my younger children, the care and tuition of whom is hereby most earnestly recommended to the strict attention of my executors—and (excepting my household and kitchen furniture and wearing apparel) I do order and direct that the rest and residue of my estate, real and personal be apportioned off or made sale of at the discretion of my Executors and fair and equal division be made of the same, or of the value or proceeds thereof between my sister Ann Moore and my children (to wit) Robert Moore, Phillips Moore, Frances Dickens or her lawful representative, Ann Moore, Mary Moore, Portius Moore, Samuel Moore and Sidney Moore and the child or children that may hereafter be born from our wedlock or the survivor or survivors of them; in equal shares; any or either of such shares are nevertheless subject to a deduction or other adjustment, equal to the value of any debt, valuation of real property by any of them possessed of from me, or balance that may appear, that is due either to or from them by my books of account or otherwise. It being always my express Will and desire that my sister Ann Moore and all my children should fairly and equally share and divide the full value of two thirds of [all] my net estate, real and personal, to them or the survivors of them, their heirs and assigns forever—and after the death of my said wife Grizey Moore the other third part is also to be equally divided between all my other legatees herein before particularly named and mentioned, or the survivors of them or their lawful representatives.</span></div>
