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".

From Paul Bingle:
"Moore, Samuel - Woodbridge Middlesex"; William Gaston's Ledger listed all claims under the individual names of the Loyalists that lost their property. The original ledger (with names and property values) is in the Archives of the New Jersey State Library, Trenton. - Theodore V. Brush, April 12, 197?, Lakewood, NJ". The ONLY other Moore listed is Michael of Essex


of Norwich, Ontario

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:

the record says "Samuel, carpenter" for Joseph, for Edward, and for Sarah, his children

Samuel married Mary CROWELL about 1731 in Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey. Mary (daughter of Edward CROWEL and Sarah VAIL) was born on 3 Aug 1713 in Woodbridge Twp., Middlesex Co., NJ; died on 17 May 1811 in Rahway, New Jersey; was buried in Friends Burying Ground At Rahway, NJ. [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.
