  • Notes 
    • This excerpt is from the published genealogy of The Brooke-White Family (to Chase Jackson Brooke and his wife, Lucy Moore Shaw) available on the Internet.

      From "Rochester History" by Dexter Perkins and Blake McKelvey, "On November 11, 1897, when starting off for a swing around the West, Susan B. Anthony stopped on her way to the station to attend the golden wedding reception of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Mott Moore. The good doctor's conclusion, some forty years before, that Miss Anthony's life 'is a very good one,' had been borne out."
      "A friend." Edward attended his father's school at Flushing and also the Renselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. He commenced the study of his profession in Rochester in 1833 with Dr. Anson Coleman, and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1836. He returned to Rochester (in 1840) and practiced until his death.
      He was not only the leading physician and surgeon of Rochester but of Western NY. "To him more than to any man is due the inauguration and establishment of Rochester's excellent park system, which was systematically started in 1888, and which today places the city in that respect, beside the finest and best in the country. Dr. Moore has been president of the Park Commission since its inception. And in the face of strong opposition has successfully guided the enterprise to its present condition."
      William F. Peck 1895
