Notes:

James Smith named his grandson, James Moore, as the inheritor of his property in Lot 20, 3rd Concession of Charlotteville Twp. It was clear that the Smiths didn't approve of their son-in-law, Enoch Moore, and passed over him in the will.

James lived on his property, Lot 12, 2nd Concession, a 150 acre farm in Woodhouse Twp. at the south-west corner of Hwy # 24 and County Rd. 10, the Turkey Point Rd. The intersection where the farm stood became known as Moore's Corners. In 1983, Jay Moore (the writer), visited the property and took pictures of the house and the barn. The owner at the time took him into the barn and pointed out that the whole frame of the barn, likely built by James, was still in excellent condition and showed excellent craftsmanship. Jay was given two square nails from the roof that were assumed to be original. These may have come from the iron foundry at nearby Normandale. There is a plaque in Normandale at the site of the foundry.

The owner also described the very large, hand-hewn beams under the house that were charred from a fire. It is known that the house burned down in 1881 while in the possession of his son, James Albert.

He continued to correspond with his brothers and sisiters who had relocated to Illinois, Wisconsin and Nebraska until his death in 1872. Most of the correspondence involved appeals for money to support Elizabeth, his mother, who died in Rockford, IL on March 3, 1871. Jay Moore, the writer, saw the gravestone of Elizabeth Moore in the cemetary at New Milford, IL in 1992.

As of 2001, James Jay Daniel Moore is the fifth James Moore and has James Moore's wedding band. The tradition is that it should be passed to the first boy of each generation descending from the first James Moore. James Aaron Jason Moore is the sixth James Moore.

James married Ann TERHUNE on 4 Jan 1842 in Charlotteville, ON. Ann (daughter of Guiliam TERHUNE and Maria ROOME) was born on 28 Mar 1814 in Pompton Plains, Morris Co., NJ; died on 16 Apr 1886 in Charlotteville, ON; was buried in Woodhouse Methodist Cemetery, Woodhouse Twp., ON.

Enoch, Elias's brother, was convicted of high treason for his part in that rebellion, but cooler heads evailed and he was eventually released.

Property: Between 1811 and 1815, Charlotteville, ON. Lot 21, 2nd Concession This 200 acre lot was owned by Samuel Moore in 1811, sold to his son Enoch in 1815, sold to James Graham in 1831, sold to Charles Thompson in 1834, sold to Gilliam Terhune in 1836, passed to his son, Peter Terhune, and sold in 1866.

Enoch left Canada in July 1840. Sentenced for high treason, then repealed in 1837



Birth:
Enoch was likely born in a refugee situation in New York City since his family was sent from its home in New Jersey before he was born. (See source citation)

Died:
James Henry Moore writes "It is recorded that Enoch died intestate, his eldest son and heir being James Moore."

An obituary for Elizabeth Moore in the Rockford Gazette, Rockford, IL, 16 Mar 1871, says that Enoch died the August following their arrival to Illnois in July 1840. (See the details quoted in the source information.)

Enoch married Elizabeth SMITH on 30 Mar 1803 in Lower Middleton, Annapolis, NS. Elizabeth (daughter of James SMITH, UEL and Hannah HAWKSWORTH) was born on 18 Apr 1784 in Wilmot Township, NS; died on 3 Mar 1871 in Rockford, IL; was buried in New Milford Cemetery, Winnebago Co., IL.

The "expert" has James Smith as father married to Hannah Hawksworth
______________________________________________________________

Bingle's use of quotation marks indicates his doubt about the position of "the expert," (likely James Henry Moore) regarding Elizabeth Smith's parentage. The evidence, however, in the Moore Collection is strongly in support of the position that Elizabeth was the daughter of James Smith and Hannah Hawksworth. Original copies of letters, affidavits and wills indicate the family connections among the Hawksworths, Moores and Smiths. Bingle's sources shown above appear to be from Latter Day Saints files.

Died:
Jay Moore, the writer, saw the gravestone of Elizabeth Moore in the cemetary at New Milford, IL in 1992 and again in 2005.

Buried:
The New Milford Cemetery is located on the New Milford School Road, east of the main intersection in New Milford, a few miles south of Rockford, IL. The Rockford Public Library has a catalogue of burial sites in the History and Genealogy section of the library. It is recorded there that Elizabeth's burial place is beside the Freeman family plot in Section B, the eleventh stone in the row. That stone is a small, gray stone, the first one to the south of the Freeman family stone. As of 2005 (and as of 1991, at the time of the first visit) the writing is not legible whatsoever. The photos are included here.

The Freeman family stone reads as follows:
Rachel Moore Freeman 1805 -1889
Hettie Freeman 1828 -1899
Mary E. Freeman 1841- 1919
To the north of the main stone are two small markers. One says "Mother" and the other says "Sister." It is presumed that "Mother" refers to Rachel Moore Freeman (daughter of Elizabeth Smith Moore) and that "Sister" refers to Hettie Freeman.

Notes:

Married:
They were married at Old Holy Trinity Church.

The first child of Enoch and Elizabeth, James Moore, was born five months after the wedding.

When New Jersey Quaker Samuel Moore "disliking the measure carrying on by the Americans and being in personal danger", retreated to New York City, "a party acting under orders of the American government came and violently forced his wife and children out of the house, put them on a wagon, and sent them under flag of truce to the British line at Amboy".

THESE PAPERS CONTAIN A LIST OF NOTES OWED TO AND BY THE ESTATE,
DATED AUGUST 25, 1823


Samuel probably came into Ontario from Wilmot Twp, NS in 1808 (source?) His arrival to take up residence in Upper Canada appears to some to have been later.

Property: Between 1815 and 1831, Charlotteville, ON. Lot 21, 2nd Concession This 200 acre lot was owned by Samuel Moore in 1811, sold to his son Enoch in 1815, sold to James Graham in 1831, sold to Charles Thompson in 1834, sold to Gilliam Terhune in 1836, passed to his son, Peter Terhune, and sold in 1866

Died:
"It is believed that he was living in Norwich with his daughter Sarah at the time." (of his death)

Buried:
In July of 1984, Samuel's gravestone was discovered just outside the fence of the Pioneer Cemetary. It has since been installed on a concrete base within the present cemetary. Since the inscription has eroded significantly, the family installed a granite base in front of the old marker and atached a bronze plaque that repeated the information on the original stone. A bronze United Empire Loyalist badge was also attached to the granite base.

Samuel married Rachel STONE on 8 Nov 1763 in Elizabethtown, NJ. Rachel (daughter of William STONE) was born on 21 Sep 1743 in Elizabethtown, NJ; died on 7 Dec 1813 in Elizabethtown, NJ. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

F. K. Smith lists three children of Austin Smith and Mehitable Tuthill and James is not included. In the Moore Collection, however, there is a letter from Francis Smith of Wilmot NS, 30 Mar 1818 to his brother James Smith of Charlotteville, Upper Canada.

James Smith named his grandson, James Moore, as the inheritor of his farm in Woodhouse Twp. at the south-west corner of Hwy # 24 and County Rd. 10, the Turkey Point Rd. It was clear that the Smiths didn't approve of their son-in-law, Enoch Moore, and passed over him in the will. The intersection where the farm stood became known as Moores Corners.

James and Hanna Smith moved to Norfolk County, Upper Canada in 1815 after their daughter, Elizabeth, had moved there.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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."

Buried:
Mary (Crowel) Moore was buried in the Friends New Burying Ground, Rahway, NJ.

Austin Smith and his brother Francis were among town officials in Orange County NY in 1775 and 1776.

F. K. Smith writes, "At the beginning of the Revolution Austin Smith signed the Association Articles but appears to have changed his views and later he became a Loyalist (my capitalization). Not refraining from expressing their sympathies by both words and actions, he and others were for a time under arrest and the subjects of considerable attention from the Governor and other Officials. Later, he is found in Nova Scotia where at least two sons were with him in Annapolis County."
