Joseph Moore was a Quaker and was a minister or elder of the Kingwood Friends Meeting. He had been appointed by Congress to attend a meeting with the British and indians at Sandusky Ohio. Joseph's intent was to continue SW from Fort Erie.

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]

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]

Grimsby's John Moore may have been bequeathing something to one of these two sisters

RWS Note: A triangular tract of land in Brant County, was originally known as the "Townsend Gore," but was afterwards attached to Burford Township, and then called "Burford Gore." In 1821 Burford Gore was separated from Burford Township and was named Oakland Township.
The term "Norrage Gore" could not be identified. Perhaps it is a spelling error for a part of Norwich NorthTownship in Oxford County.

Notes:

The following is excerpted from the published genealogy of The Brooke-White Family (to Chase Jackson Brooke and his wife Lucy Moore Shaw) available on the Internet.

Lindley's father, a Quaker, had fled the United States during the Revolution so Lindley was born in Nova Scotia. He was named for Lindley Murray, a celebrated grammarian and wealthy merchant of New York who "befriended Samuel Moore in the difficulties growing out of the war." (*) The family returned to New Jersey in 1810. Lindley was already a teacher at Nine Partners when Adam and Anne Mott moved there in 1811. He and Abigail became engaged when she was 17 and an assistant teacher at the school. The pay was not good so they moved to Rahwey, NJ where they opened a Quaker School. Their son Edward Mott Moore was born there in 1814. In 1815 they moved to New York City to take charge of the Monthly Meeting School of Friends on Pearl Street. Lindley and Abigail made their home with her parents, Adam and Anne Mott, on Lombardy Street. However in 1817 they rented a house on Chrystie Street. He had been earning $1,200 a year but in 1820 times were tough and his salary was reduced. Lindley decided to give up the school and move to Flushing and opened a boarding school for boys in 1820. "Seven years later he bought five acres of land in Westchester Village, on the road to New York, about opposite the Friends Meeting house, and removed his school to this place in the Spring of 1828. Here also he prospered, and his residence here is several times referred to in family letters. But he had laid up money and was beginning to think of retiring from the arduous labors of a school to the tranquility of a farm. A visit that he and his wife made at Rochester confirmed him in this desire, and after considerable inquiry and negotiation he purchased, in 1829, the farm of 170 acres then occupied by Erastus Spalding for $5,200. The farm was beautifully situated, on high ground, on what was alter know as Lake Avenue in the City of Rochester, being the direct road from the City to lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Genesee River." (*) In 1831 he built a "two story house in the Greek revival style." (Later the house became a convent for the Sisters of Nazareth Academy.)

Many young, educated, prosperous and forward thinking men were drawn to Rochester in the 1830's. It became a focal point for many agitating ideas. There were a significant number of Quakers living there pushing for social reforms. Lindley helped form the Anti-Slavery Society in 1838 and became its first president. He was also a teacher at the first "High School".

His son, Edward Mott, also became well known in the society and was one of the best surgeons in the state. By 1870, Lindley was living with Edward and his family.

He was a portly man of commanding height and mien, of benevolent countenance and expressive features. His students will not soon forget his kindly ways, nor the sonorous tones with which he repeats the verses of Milton and other English poets." from the History of Haverford College by a student of Lindley M. Moore, Richard Wood.

(*) from "Adam and Anne Mott" by Thomas C. Cornell

Died:
Lindley Murray lived with his son, Dr. E.M. Moore, in Rochester until he died.

Lindley married Abigail L. MOTT on 19 Aug 1813 in Mamaroneck, Westchester Co., NY At Premium Point. Abigail (daughter of Adam MOTT and Anne UNKNOWN) was born on 6 Aug 1795 in Cowbay, Long Island, NY; died on 4 Sep 1846 in Rochester, Monroe Co. NY; was buried in MT Hope Cemetery, Rocheter, Monroe Co., NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

......
Daniel Moore emigrated from New Jersey to this country about 1800. After making a location and beginning improvements on a farm in the southern part of this township, he left, and for some years led the life of an itinerant miller, working in various places. Later her returned to his farm and made rapid improvements upon it. He died in 1844, and his wife (Mary King) in 1852. They reared eight children, five of whom are still living. One son is in Ohio; Jesse is an old resident of this township; Catharine (Gross) lives in Milford township; and Mrs. Barron and Mrs. Whipkey, in Middle Creek. Jesse Moore is the father of Philip K. Moore, who owns a beautiful farm of two hundred and forty acres in the northern part of this township. Though Mr. Moore, senior, has passed the alloted threescore years and ten, he is still active; and being a man of observation and good memory, recalls much that is interesting concerning the early settlers, their customs and manner of life.

Alexander C. Moore, another son of Jesse Moore, is a prosperous farmer, residing one mile north of New Lexington.

William Moore was born and reared in this township. In 1838 he came into possession of the homestead farm, inherited from his father. He married Rosanna, daughter of George Pile, an early pioneer of this township, and reared five children: Louisa (Mognet), Cyrus B., Walter F., H. D. and Lyman K.

Cyrus B. served in the late war, and , after its close, established himself in the mercantile business at New Lexington, in 1866. Dr. H. D. Moore read medicine, and, after graduating, settled in New Lexington, where he now has a successful practice.
