SALLUTATIONS

What better greeting than with a newly discovered twice-done Moore. SANDI
(Varow48) just found that she has a second Moore family. Her excitement is
contagious, so enjoy!
******
Lookeee what I found. I'm a Moore twice! Better yet, many of the Moores on
the list who are also CARTERs are also Moores twice. At least that is the
supposition at this writing. I was looking at my Brewsters and Thompsons in
New Haven and Long Island, and it finally hit me that Nathaniel Brewster's
wife, Sarah Ludlow, shared at least a name with the fourth wife of King
Carter. They lived about the same time, too, so I started wondering if maybe
they shared a grandfather as well. My friend is helping me, and she found it
in 'Genealogical Gleanings in England;' Henry F. Waters, and some guy named
Virkus whom she doesn't trust. Sarah, 4th w/o John Carter of Corotoman, was
d/o Gabriel Ludlow (& Phillis ?), s/o Thomas Ludlow (& Jane Pyle), s/o George
Ludlow (& Edith, d/o Lord Windsor), w/o William Ludlow (& Jane Moore, d/o
Nicholas Moore of Withford., co. Southampton. I've always known John's 4th
wife, and m/o King Carter was Sarah Ludlow. Just nothing about her.

Right here, I'm having a slight bout of apoplexy because I THINK that
Nicholas Moore may have been the adoptive grandfather of Moore Fauntleroy who
I think came to the colonies with ___ West, and whose gr granddaughter,
Judith Fauntleroy, married Landon Carter of Pittsylvania. I'm searching high
and low for my Fauntleroy book and can't find it which is making me nuts.
I'll have to get back to you on that one. I think I have the info on my web
page anyhow, so as I send this to you, I think I'll stay on and check. The
reason the WEST thing is important (or at least interesting) is that
somewhere in all of this the Ludlows and Thomas West are related. -- HA.

Moore the Elder & Moore the Younger? There has been some confusion about
these two brothers, but it is now understood that there were two Fauntleroy
sons named Moore. This is proved by the will of Nicholas Moore who adopted
Phoebe Wilkinson, and in 1617 left all his property to her during her life,
and after her death to "Moore Fauntleroy, eldest son of John and Phoebe
Fauntleroy, and in default to Moore Fauntleroy, the younger son of the said
John and Phoebe Fauntleroy". The two Moores may have been twins, but all we
can be certain of is that they were born between 1610 and 1617, they not
being listed in the parish register with the other children. As it turned
out, both boys lived to adulthood and married. Moore the Elder received his
bequest, and Moore the Younger came to Virginia in 1643.


NEW MEMBERS

DOROTHY (D MEHRER), a new member, submits a wonderful follow up to last
week's information from the "The Mecklenburg [NC] Signers and Their
Neighbors:"
******My name is Dorothy (Breshon) Mehrer and live in Kirkland, WA (just
across Lake Washington from Seattle). My mother's maiden name is Moore. In
her report of Nov 13, Joyce touched my family. I cannot take credit for this
research as my aunt and uncle, Alice (Zion) and Huston Moore, did years of
research. I inherited their work.

The immigrant of this line was John Moore, who was born in Ulster, Ireland
about 1720/30 and died in 1800 in Lincoln Co NC. He married Mary
McCord1720-1790) about 1750. He served in the Rev War, as did four of his
sons: William, Alexander, John, and James. Their children:

A) William Moore (Col) b 5 Sept 1751 in Bucks Co, PA; d 15 Apr 1839 and
buried in Olney Pres Cem, Gaston Co, NC. He married 1) Rebecca Gullick and
2) Rosanah McCord He and Rebecca are my line.

B) Capt Alexander Moore 13 Dec 1752-24 Nov 1837 and is buried in Goshen Cem.
He m Elizabeth Roberson in 1781.

C) Jane Moore b 27 Jan 1753 and m 1) William Rankin and 2) William McCord 17
May 1790 according to the Tyron and Lincoln .

D)Rose/Rosenah Moore b 1757, d 1807, m William Henry.

E) John Moore b 29 Jul 1759 in Lincoln Co NC, d 14 May 1836, and bur in
Goshen Cem. He mar 1) Bettie Adair and 2) Mary( Alexander) Scott on 26 Jul
1816.

F) Mary Moore b 10 Apr 1762 d 1849. mar 1) Thomas Campbell, 2) William
Rankin and is bur in Goshen Cem.

G)James b 15 Nov 1764, d 1838/9 mar Eleanor Irving

H) Agnes/Nancy b 17 Oct 1766, d. 11 Dec 1847/8 mar James Dickson
I) Nancy mar Thomas Dickson

There is a note that Jane and Mary may possibly be the same person. The
accuracy of this is not guaranteed.

ERROL (RBHQ31A@prodigy.com) sends a different "side" of the illusive Peter
Moore who continually eludes identity. Is this a descendant of one of his
daughters?
*****I've been working on my family history for the last 20 years and have
made a lot of progress in the last two or three years. This year I have
focused my research on my SATTERFIELD/SUTTERFIELD family, and that is where I
find my interest in the Moore family.

I am searching for the ancestors of PETER MOORE SATTERFIELD, b. abt 1775. He
married Mary Rogers in Laurens Co., S.C. in 1801. After this date, I pretty
well have his life documented, but his ancestors elude me. Family history
states "Peter Moore Satterfield mother maiden name was MOORE." From the
research I've already performed I SUSPECT that Peter's parents were either
Robert and Catherine Satterfield or James and Elizabeth Satterfield (name is
sometimes spelled SUTTERFIELD), both families from N.C. and S.C. I've just
started my research on the Moore family, therefore, I don't have a lot of
Moore information to contribute to the Newsletter. In the near future I'll
send some census records that I have gathered.

BILL IKERD (weikerd@juno.com)
*****Need further information on the following family. The information is
from a biography book of northeastern Kansas published 1900.

Henry W Honnell, son of William Honnell and Ellen Wilson, married Miss
Miranda J Moore, a native of Monroe Co., KY, a dau of Jeremiah Moore and
Elizabeth Spencer. Jeremiah Moore, born 1797, came to Brown County, KS in
1856, and resided here for many years, but died in KY, age 77 years old,
while visiting in the state. The children of Jeremiah Moore and Elizabeth
Spencer were:
Joel Moore
Jonathan Moore b 1821
Mary "Polly" A Moore b 1823
Elizabeth Moore b 1833
Miranda J Moore b 1837

Another query contradicting the previous one:
Taken from World Family Tree CD (number not known at this time), shows the
following:

Jeremiah Moore b 3 Nov 1797 Sheanahdoah Co., VA, son of Joel Moore; married
Elizabeth Comer, b 1800 Monroe Co., KY, dau of Samuel Comer and Nancy
Browning; had children:

Joel Moore
Jonathan Moore b 1821 Monroe Co., KY
Mary Ann Moore b 1823

Marinda J Moore b 1837; m 1857 Brown Co., KS to Henry Honnell.

Can someone confirm this family?


COLONIAL MOORES


Source: Old Churches Ministers and Families of Virginia. Bishop William
Meade. 1966, originally published in 1857.
Orange County. -- St. Thomas Parish

The principle families connected with the Church in Orange [VA] in Colonial
times were the Barbours, Bells, Burtons, Campbells, Caves, Chews, Conways,
Daniels, Madisons, Moores, Ruckers, Shepherds, Taylors, Taliaferos, and
Whites. Mr. Richard White, who died some years since at the age of ninety,
was the last communicant connected with the Old Orange Church. With
comparatively few exceptions, the descendants of these respective families
continued to retain their attachment to the Church of their fathers, and some
of them are among its most worthy members.

The following letter has also been received from the same: --

Orange
County Courthouse, March 7, 1857.
"Right Rev. and Dear Sir: Since I wrote you some days since, a few items of
interest in relation to this parish have come to my hands. A single leaf,
and that somewhat mutilated, of the old vestry book of St. Thomas parish, was
found among the papers of one of my communicants who died last week, and has
since been handed to me. From this I am able to ascertain who composed the
vestry as far back as 1769. The record states: -- 'At a vestry held for St.
Thomas parish, at the glebe, on Friday, the 1st day of September, 1769,
present, Rev. Thomas Martin, Eras. Taylor, James Madison, Alexander Waugh,
Francis Moore, William Bell, Rowland Thomas, Thomas Bell, Richard Barbour,
William Moore.' The object of their meeting was to take into consideration
the repairs necessary to be made to the house and other buildings connected
with the glebe.

"From a private record kept at the time, I also learn that the congregation
in Orange, in the year 1786, engaged the services of Mr. Waddell, the blind
Presbyterian minister, to preach for them for two years. He officiated at
the Brick Church. There was no Episcopal clergyman here at the time. It
appears that forty pounds were subscribed for him, and it was expected the
subscription would reach sixty pounds. The Rev. Mr. Balmaine was here
occasionally at that period, addressing Miss Lucy Taylor, whom he married on
the 31st day of October 1786. He preached and administered the ordinances
from time to time, both before and after his marriage. On one occasion, when
Mr. Waddell preached, we observe he gave notice that he would preach and
administer the Lord's Supper on the following Sunday.

"I have also ascertained that the Rev. Mr. O'Niel was in Orange in 1796. I
stated he came in 1797. You make this correction, and also add to the list
of the families the Thomases and the Waughs. -- Yours very truly and
affectionately, J. Earnest."


RESEARCH

JUDY ALLEY (JudyAlley)
*****While in the Alabama Archives and History Museum, I found a great book
on the Thomas, Charles, John and Samuel Moore families of Guilford and
Rockingham Counties, NC. According to the "background:"

Thomas Moore wrote his will on 9 Feb 1774 and it was recorded on 8 Apr 1774
in Dorchester Co MD naming his wife and his heirs. Thomas was the son of John
and Mary Melvill Moore. Mary Melvill Moore (d. 1771) was the daughter of
David Melvill (1681-1756).

Thomas (son of Thomas and Mary Melvill Moore) married Rachel ? . Their
children were: Thomas, Charles, James, John, Samuel, David and Henry.

Sometime between 1774 and 1785 Thomas and Rachel moved to NC. There was a
lawsuit filed pertaining to a will and all the family heirs are listed for
several generations. It mentioned that Moore was a common name in both MD
and NC.

Anyone with this line should look for the following book:
Genealogies of the Moore and Hopkins Families of
Rockingham and Guilford Counties in North Carolina

MOORE MISCELLANY

The following excerpt is from the newly published "Hallowed Ground,
Preserving America's Heritage," by Rudy Abramson with photographs by
Kenneth Garrett and Jack Kotz. The pictures of the Virginia countryside are
breathtaking and the prose is interesting, colorful and lively, written by a
journalist who has researched his subject well. The book was inspired by
Disney's attempt two years ago to build a theme park near Manassas VA in
Prince William County. No one knew until all the land had been purchased
that the countryside was destined to become a theme park. A lively debate
and thunderous objections from all over America ensued, and Disney walked
away from Virginia. Here are a few other plaudits for this outstanding
publication.

..... Here, in a heartfelt combination of text and photographs, but
attractive and authentic, is a panoramic explication of an American heritage
worth fighting to preserve. This volume, which is at once a celebration and a
symbol of resolve, can be the rock around which the forces of historical
preservation can rally when the time comes and the need arises. -- Shelby
Foote, Author of 'The Civil War: A Narrative.'

.....The words and magnificent photographs in these pages are a transporting
experience. This is home ground for all Americans, wherever they may live or
whatever their origins. Here is a landscape like none other, in fact and in
the national memory. Rudy Abramson and photographers Kenneth Garrett and
Jack Kotz have caught Virginia's spirit of place exactly and remind us again
of those treasures in our heritage that are truly priceless. -- David
McCullough, Author of 'Truman.'

.....This book makes a compelling and gloriously illustrated case for
preserving one of the great historic and cultural landscapes in America. It
will surely persuade a larger audience of what many of us have known for a
long time: the Virginia Piedmont is an irreplaceable national treasure. --
Richard Moe, President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
******
Excerpts:
"By 1700, the population of the Virginia Colony had grown to 58,000, and it
was increasing at the rate of more than 20 percent each decade. Into the
Piedmont rolled a wave of settlement, stimulated by the steady arrival of new
immigrants from Europe, the deterioration of Tidewater soil by repeated
planting of tobacco, and the enticement of land speculators. The westward
movement became a primary objective of the colonial government in
Williamsburg during the administration of Alexander Spotswood, a combative
and ambitious lieutenant governor.

... "On the Rapidan River, some thirty miles above the falls of the
Rappahannock in present-day Orange County, he planned to locate a settlement
of Tuscaroras who had moved into Virginia from North Carolina. The site was
precisely where the main Iroquois hunting trail crossed the river.

As a further incentive, he offered to station a minister, a teacher, and a
small military detail in the village and to send Englishmen regularly to
trade for furs. Evidently, this was not enough for tribal leaders, for they
led their people back to North Carolina.

Spotswood was undeterred. Rangers riding the frontier had reported finding
silver and iron ore in the Rappahannock Valley, so the governor decided to
establish a mining village at the site spurned by the Tuscaroras.

.... "In the spring of 1714, the governor constructed his fortress with funds
provided by the Virginia Assembly. Behind its walls, he settled the nine
families, totaling forty-two men, women, and children, and named the place
Germanna in honor of the residents' homeland and in tribute to Queen Anne.
It was an important event in the opening of the Piedmont.

...."Although his encouragement of settlement and his steps to provide
security on the frontier did much to open the Piedmont, Spotswood is best
remembered as the first Englishman to reach the Shenandoah Valley. In 1716,
when rangers discovered a passage over the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap, the
governor quickly organized an expedition and personally led the first venture
to stake England's claim to the land beyond the mountains.

"With great fanfare, he departed the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg on
August 20, waving to an excited crowd as he grandly rode away in his open
carriage. At Germanna, he assembled a part of sixty-three horsemen,
including rangers, Indian guides, and social friends accompanied by servants.
Marching behind a trumpet and a pack of hounds, they set off into the
wilderness, followed by a string of pack horses loaded with supplies, hunting
gear, and an awesome quantity of liquor."

Phoebe Wilkinson, and in 1617 left all his property to her during her life,
and after her death to "Moore Fauntleroy, eldest son of John and Phoebe
Fauntleroy, and in default to Moore Fauntleroy, the younger son of the said
John and Phoebe Fauntleroy". The two Moores may have been twins, but all we
can be certain of is that they were born between 1610 and 1617, they not
being listed in the parish register with the other children. As it turned
out, both boys lived to adulthood and married. Moore the Elder received his
bequest, and Moore the Younger came to Virginia in 1643.


NEW MEMBERS

DOROTHY (D MEHRER), a new member, submits a wonderful follow up to last
week's information from the "The Mecklenburg [NC] Signers and Their
Neighbors:"
******My name is Dorothy (Breshon) Mehrer and live in Kirkland, WA (just
across Lake Washington from Seattle). My mother's maiden name is Moore. In
her report of Nov 13, Joyce touched my family. I cannot take credit for this
research as my aunt and uncle, Alice (Zion) and Huston Moore, did years of
research. I inherited their work.

The immigrant of this line was John Moore, who was born in Ulster, Ireland
about 1720/30 and died in 1800 in Lincoln Co NC. He married Mary
McCord1720-1790) about 1750. He served in the Rev War, as did four of his
sons: William, Alexander, John, and James. Their children:

A) William Moore (Col) b 5 Sept 1751 in Bucks Co, PA; d 15 Apr 1839 and
buried in Olney Pres Cem, Gaston Co, NC. He married 1) Rebecca Gullick and
2) Rosanah McCord He and Rebecca are my line.

B) Capt Alexander Moore 13 Dec 1752-24 Nov 1837 and is buried in Goshen Cem.
He m Elizabeth Roberson in 1781.

C) Jane Moore b 27 Jan 1753 and m 1) William Rankin and 2) William McCord 17
May 1790 according to the Tyron and Lincoln .

D)Rose/Rosenah Moore b 1757, d 1807, m William Henry.

E) John Moore b 29 Jul 1759 in Lincoln Co NC, d 14 May 1836, and bur in
Goshen Cem. He mar 1) Bettie Adair and 2) Mary( Alexander) Scott on 26 Jul
1816.

F) Mary Moore b 10 Apr 1762 d 1849. mar 1) Thomas Campbell, 2) William
Rankin and is bur in Goshen Cem.

G)James b 15 Nov 1764, d 1838/9 mar Eleanor Irving

H) Agnes/Nancy b 17 Oct 1766, d. 11 Dec 1847/8 mar James Dickson
I) Nancy mar Thomas Dickson

J) Susan mar William Hill
There is a note that Jane and Mary may possibly be the same person. The
accuracy of this is not guaranteed.

ERROL (RBHQ31A@prodigy.com) sends a different "side" of the illusive Peter
Moore who continually eludes identity. Is this a descendant of one of his
daughters?
*****I've been working on my family history for the last 20 years and have
made a lot of progress in the last two or three years. This year I have
focused my research on my SATTERFIELD/SUTTERFIELD family, and that is where I
find my interest in the Moore family.

I am searching for the ancestors of PETER MOORE SATTERFIELD, b. abt 1775. He
married Mary Rogers in Laurens Co., S.C. in 1801. After this date, I pretty
well have his life documented, but his ancestors elude me. Family history
states "Peter Moore Satterfield mother maiden name was MOORE." From the
research I've already performed I SUSPECT that Peter's parents were either
Robert and Catherine Satterfield or James and Elizabeth Satterfield (name is
sometimes spelled SUTTERFIELD), both families from N.C. and S.C. I've just
started my research on the Moore family, therefore, I don't have a lot of
Moore information to contribute to the Newsletter. In the near future I'll
send some census records that I have gathered.

BILL IKERD (weikerd@juno.com)
*****Need further information on the following family. The information is
from a biography book of northeastern Kansas published 1900.

Henry W Honnell, son of William Honnell and Ellen Wilson, married Miss
Miranda J Moore, a native of Monroe Co., KY, a dau of Jeremiah Moore and
Elizabeth Spencer. Jeremiah Moore, born 1797, came to Brown County, KS in
1856, and resided here for many years, but died in KY, age 77 years old,
while visiting in the state. The children of Jeremiah Moore and Elizabeth
Spencer were:
Joel Moore
Jonathan Moore b 1821
Mary "Polly" A Moore b 1823
Elizabeth Moore b 1833
Miranda J Moore b 1837

Another query contradicting the previous one:
Taken from World Family Tree CD (number not known at this time), shows the
following:

Jeremiah Moore b 3 Nov 1797 Sheanahdoah Co., VA, son of Joel Moore; married
Elizabeth Comer, b 1800 Monroe Co., KY, dau of Samuel Comer and Nancy
Browning; had children:

Marinda J Moore b 1837; m 1857 Brown Co., KS to Henry Honnell.

Can someone confirm this family?


COLONIAL MOORES


Source: Old Churches Ministers and Families of Virginia. Bishop William
Meade. 1966, originally published in 1857.
Orange County. -- St. Thomas Parish

The principle families connected with the Church in Orange [VA] in Colonial
times were the Barbours, Bells, Burtons, Campbells, Caves, Chews, Conways,
Daniels, Madisons, Moores, Ruckers, Shepherds, Taylors, Taliaferos, and
Whites. Mr. Richard White, who died some years since at the age of ninety,
was the last communicant connected with the Old Orange Church. With
comparatively few exceptions, the descendants of these respective families
continued to retain their attachment to the Church of their fathers, and some
of them are among its most worthy members.

The following letter has also been received from the same: --

Orange
County Courthouse, March 7, 1857.
"Right Rev. and Dear Sir: Since I wrote you some days since, a few items of
interest in relation to this parish have come to my hands. A single leaf,
and that somewhat mutilated, of the old vestry book of St. Thomas parish, was
found among the papers of one of my communicants who died last week, and has
since been handed to me. From this I am able to ascertain who composed the
vestry as far back as 1769. The record states: -- 'At a vestry held for St.
Thomas parish, at the glebe, on Friday, the 1st day of September, 1769,
present, Rev. Thomas Martin, Eras. Taylor, James Madison, Alexander Waugh,
Francis Moore, William Bell, Rowland Thomas, Thomas Bell, Richard Barbour,
William Moore.' The object of their meeting was to take into consideration
the repairs necessary to be made to the house and other buildings connected
with the glebe.

"From a private record kept at the time, I also learn that the congregation
in Orange, in the year 1786, engaged the services of Mr. Waddell, the blind
Presbyterian minister, to preach for them for two years. He officiated at
the Brick Church. There was no Episcopal clergyman here at the time. It
appears that forty pounds were subscribed for him, and it was expected the
subscription would reach sixty pounds. The Rev. Mr. Balmaine was here
occasionally at that period, addressing Miss Lucy Taylor, whom he married on
the 31st day of October 1786. He preached and administered the ordinances
from time to time, both before and after his marriage. On one occasion, when
Mr. Waddell preached, we observe he gave notice that he would preach and
administer the Lord's Supper on the following Sunday.

"I have also ascertained that the Rev. Mr. O'Niel was in Orange in 1796. I
stated he came in 1797. You make this correction, and also add to the list
of the families the Thomases and the Waughs. -- Yours very truly and
affectionately, J. Earnest."


RESEARCH

JUDY ALLEY (JudyAlley)
*****While in the Alabama Archives and History Museum, I found a great book
on the Thomas, Charles, John and Samuel Moore families of Guilford and
Rockingham Counties, NC. According to the "background:"

Thomas Moore wrote his will on 9 Feb 1774 and it was recorded on 8 Apr 1774
in Dorchester Co MD naming his wife and his heirs. Thomas was the son of John
and Mary Melvill Moore. Mary Melvill Moore (d. 1771) was the daughter of
David Melvill (1681-1756).

Thomas (son of Thomas and Mary Melvill Moore) married Rachel ? . Their
children were: Thomas, Charles, James, John, Samuel, David and Henry.

Sometime between 1774 and 1785 Thomas and Rachel moved to NC. There was a
lawsuit filed pertaining to a will and all the family heirs are listed for
several generations. It mentioned that Moore was a common name in both MD
and NC.

Anyone with this line should look for the following book:
Genealogies of the Moore and Hopkins Families of
Rockingham and Guilford Counties in North Carolina
by Beatrice M. Caffy Reed and Mary A. Browning
1981

MOORE MISCELLANY

The following excerpt is from the newly published "Hallowed Ground,
Preserving America's Heritage," by Rudy Abramson with photographs by
Kenneth Garrett and Jack Kotz. The pictures of the Virginia countryside are
breathtaking and the prose is interesting, colorful and lively, written by a
journalist who has researched his subject well. The book was inspired by
Disney's attempt two years ago to build a theme park near Manassas VA in
Prince William County. No one knew until all the land had been purchased
that the countryside was destined to become a theme park. A lively debate
and thunderous objections from all over America ensued, and Disney walked
away from Virginia. Here are a few other plaudits for this outstanding
publication.

..... Here, in a heartfelt combination of text and photographs, but
attractive and authentic, is a panoramic explication of an American heritage
worth fighting to preserve. This volume, which is at once a celebration and a
symbol of resolve, can be the rock around which the forces of historical
preservation can rally when the time comes and the need arises. -- Shelby
Foote, Author of 'The Civil War: A Narrative.'

.....The words and magnificent photographs in these pages are a transporting
experience. This is home ground for all Americans, wherever they may live or
whatever their origins. Here is a landscape like none other, in fact and in
the national memory. Rudy Abramson and photographers Kenneth Garrett and
Jack Kotz have caught Virginia's spirit of place exactly and remind us again
of those treasures in our heritage that are truly priceless. -- David
McCullough, Author of 'Truman.'

.....This book makes a compelling and gloriously illustrated case for
preserving one of the great historic and cultural landscapes in America. It
will surely persuade a larger audience of what many of us have known for a
long time: the Virginia Piedmont is an irreplaceable national treasure. --
Richard Moe, President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
******
Excerpts:
"By 1700, the population of the Virginia Colony had grown to 58,000, and it
was increasing at the rate of more than 20 percent each decade. Into the
Piedmont rolled a wave of settlement, stimulated by the steady arrival of new
immigrants from Europe, the deterioration of Tidewater soil by repeated
planting of tobacco, and the enticement of land speculators. The westward
movement became a primary objective of the colonial government in
Williamsburg during the administration of Alexander Spotswood, a combative
and ambitious lieutenant governor.

... "On the Rapidan River, some thirty miles above the falls of the
Rappahannock in present-day Orange County, he planned to locate a settlement
of Tuscaroras who had moved into Virginia from North Carolina. The site was
precisely where the main Iroquois hunting trail crossed the river.

As a further incentive, he offered to station a minister, a teacher, and a
small military detail in the village and to send Englishmen regularly to
trade for furs. Evidently, this was not enough for tribal leaders, for they
led their people back to North Carolina.

Spotswood was undeterred. Rangers riding the frontier had reported finding
silver and iron ore in the Rappahannock Valley, so the governor decided to
establish a mining village at the site spurned by the Tuscaroras.

.... "In the spring of 1714, the governor constructed his fortress with funds
provided by the Virginia Assembly. Behind its walls, he settled the nine
families, totaling forty-two men, women, and children, and named the place
Germanna in honor of the residents' homeland and in tribute to Queen Anne.
It was an important event in the opening of the Piedmont.

...."Although his encouragement of settlement and his steps to provide
security on the frontier did much to open the Piedmont, Spotswood is best
remembered as the first Englishman to reach the Shenandoah Valley. In 1716,
when rangers discovered a passage over the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap, the
governor quickly organized an expedition and personally led the first venture
to stake England's claim to the land beyond the mountains.

"With great fanfare, he departed the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg on
August 20, waving to an excited crowd as he grandly rode away in his open
carriage. At Germanna, he assembled a part of sixty-three horsemen,
including rangers, Indian guides, and social friends accompanied by servants.
Marching behind a trumpet and a pack of hounds, they set off into the
wilderness, followed by a string of pack horses loaded with supplies, hunting
gear, and an awesome quantity of liquor."

Rena Melvina Moore-Lynd, who was born in 1899 and is still living (1999), tells granddaughter Teri Alred that they were. Her grandfather, Jarvis C. MOORE (born in 1845 and old enough to know both Nimrod and Isaac before they died), used to sit her on his lap and tell her tales about the past and family connections. She was rather certain of the fact that Nimrod and Isaac were brothers.

     Rev. Isaac Moore and Nimrod Moore The circumstaintial evidence, along with familiy stories, leads us to believe Nimrod and Isaac are brothers.

Rena Melvina Moore-Lynd, who was born in 1899 and is still living (1999), tells granddaughter Teri Alred that they were. Her grandfather, Jarvis C. MOORE (born in 1845 and old enough to know both Nimrod and Isaac before they died), used to sit her on his lap and tell her tales about the past and family connections. She was rather certain of the fact that Nimrod and Isaac were brothers.

That Nimrod and Priscilla (Prisciller) were born in Dorchester, MD - and are children of Benjamin and Margere - is certain from birth records. Isaac was also born in MD but his birth record has yet to be found.⁴ Rev. Isaac Moore was also known as Isaac Amos or Isaac Lewis?.⁸ He and Rev. Amos (Isaac Amos) Moore "One of the early families of Lawrence
County was instrumental in bringing a church denomination into this locality. The
reference is to the MOORE family in Fayette Township. They were radical aboli-
tionists in Virginia before coming to Ohio and not only brought the doctrine of
anti-slavery with them but also strong religious tendencies. "Rev. Isaac MOORE
was the patriarch and both he and his son Amos MOORE were ministers of the gospel.
They built a log church on Solida Creek near Sulphur Springs and there was organized
the First Methodist Protestant Church in Lawrence County. This church was later
reorganized and rebuilt on the hill near Sutton farm and is still standing and is known as
Lebanon Church."
