Notes:

"Just before her death on 17 May 1811, one of her great grandsons, recorded her offspring, still living, on a chart which showed 6 children, 34 grandchildren, 116 great grandchildren and 47 great, great grandchildren."

This was recorded by Jim Moore in his writings entitiled "The Moores in Early America" but the source of the above facts was not included. This writer discovered a quote from an article by Edward J. Raser in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, January 1966 entitiled "Isaac Moore's Family Record."

"Old family records are found in many interesting forms and places. The one represented below appears in Volume 40 of the papers of James Madison, a collection of bound manuscripts in the Library of Congress. The records consist of a letter and an appended chart, written by Isaac Moore of Rahway in 1810. Because of their quaintness and genealogical value, the papers are reproduced here verbatim. Despite numerous spelling errors in the letter and chart, the letter shows great care in its execution.

"The chart consists of a central circle and four concentric rings. The circle contains the left-facing profile of a woman identified as 'Mary Alston 97.' [A.K.A. Granny Hays] Five radials connect the circle with the outer edge of the first ring, which contains the inscription, 'Children, Five.' From each radial additional radials extend across the second ring and so on to the last ring in accordance with the successive generations known to Isaac Moore. The remaining rings bear the inscriptions, 'Grand Children, Therty three,' 'Great Grand Children 115' and 'Great Great Grand Children, 39.' All radials of the first and second generation bear names but many radials of the third and fourth generation are nameless. At the bottom of the chart is an acrostic which identifies the composer."
