Family/Spouse: Jacob GLOVER, UEL. Jacob was born about 1760; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

4/15 NOV 1738
Lived at Hope, Warren, NJ

When John was 14 his stepdad became Captain Thomas Alston, who died
4 years later in 1756. He was a mariner, part owner of the sloop Success, sailing between Perth Amboy and Madeira and Jamaica


Annals of the Forty states "At the beginning of the War of the Revolution John Moore promptly joined
the Colonial Guards of New Jersey and was made a junior officer. When that Corps turned its coat later on John stuck to the red tunic of his King and fought on the side of the British until the end of the War."
The basic facts are very likely true. An accidental misdirection, however, is author's choice of uniform colour (it would have been blue, not red).

Conceived and created in 1673, the New Jersey Colonial Guards, or "Jersey Blues" as they came to be called in the Seven Years War, were the first such "provincial" Regiment to be formed anywhere in the British domain. Building from a troup of just 85 men, the third commander, Colonel Peter Parker of Perth Amboy, headed a force in 1744 of 500 recruits. In 1757 the Jersey Blues were remustered by Colonel Peter Schuyler, a wealthy Dutch farmer, and were assigned to New York's Fort William Henry where they comprised one third of its garrison.

Following on the heels of the Seven Years (French and Indian) War, more Indian troubles led to their service in Pontiac's Rebellion of 1763. In the ensuing ten years, barracks at Elizabeth, Amboy, New Brunswick and Trenton were almost constantly occupied with their troops. Their headquarters was located at James Parker's "Parker Castle" in Perth Amboy.

When the state turned against New Jersey's Royal Governor William Franklin (a staunch Loyalist) in January of 1776, resulting in his flight from Burlington NJ to Perth Amboy, the provisional Provincial Congress called upon Colonel Elias Dayton of Elizabeth, a Blues "reservist", to also lead a New Jersey Regiment of patriots. From the time that the NJ Colonial General Assembly was dissolved, the repatriated Blues saw action on the side of the rebel insurgents beginning with their unsuccessful defence of Long Island in Aug 1776. For obvious reasons they were not present in the previous year at the seiges of Concord and Bunker Hill MA at the outbreak of open rebellion. In the second half of the War they fought under Washington's General "Mad Willie" William Maxwell. 30 years later, led by General Zebulun Pike (who was killed in the action) on Apr 27 1813 this Regiment defeated and caused the destruction of the garrison at Toronto, Ontario in the War of 1812.

From its political about-face near the beginning of the American Revolution until now this Battalion has sported several names: the New Jersey Continental Line, 3rd New Jersey Regiment, Jersey Brigade, and today, the New Jersey National Guards.

From The Quaker Archives: Friends in the Niagara Peninsula, 1786-1802 By Richard MacMaster
The Doan, Harret, Havens, Moore, Schooley, Webster, Willson families and some of the Dennis family were from Hardwick Monthly Meeting in Sussex County and Kingwood Monthly Meeting in Hunterdon County. In 1799 there was a Quaker list of "all those who have a right of membership" but some who came in 1787 had been compromised by wartime activities and no longer belonged to any meeting of Friends. John Moore, although of Quaker background, had been fined and imprisoned in Sussex County, New Jersey for helping recruits get to the British lines. Benjamin Willson had also helped recruit for the British in Sussex County as his former neighbour Nathaniel Pettit testified.

Joseph Moore, one of the visitors from Pennsylvania in 1793, set out from Niagara-on-the-lake and went along the Lake Ontario shore as far as the Twelve Mile Creek in Grantham Township, where he met with Benjamin and Jesse Pauling. Both men served as officers in Butler's Rangers but they had Quaker relations in Philadelphia. The next day they "went three miles to our friend John Taylor's." John and Hannah Taylor lived in Township Number 3 (later called Grantham Township) in 1790


Among the oldest interments at St Andrews are"In memory of John Moore, died May 16th, 1803, aged 64, and Dinah his wife, died Nov. 9th, 1804, aged 68." These, however, were removed from an earlier graveyard near the lake.

John married Dinah PETIT in 1763 in Sussex NJ. Dinah was born on 9 Feb 1746 in Phillipsburg, Warren NJ; died on 9 Nov 1804. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
