    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 Sentenced for high treason, then repealed in 1837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.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  James MOORE Descendancy chart to this point (1.Enoch1) was born on 21 Aug 1803 in Wilmot Township, NS; died on 23 Jun 1872 in Charlotteville, ON; was buried in Woodhouse Methodist Cemetery, Woodhouse Twp., ON.

    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.

Generation: 3

  1. 13.  Infant Daughter MOORE Descendancy chart to this point (2.James2, 1.Enoch1) was born on 9 Oct 1842 in Charlotteville, ON; died on 27 Oct 1842 in Charlotteville, ON; was buried in Woodhouse Methodist Cemetery, Woodhouse Twp., ON.

    Notes:

    "James Albert was convinced that there was an unclaimed fortune in England waiting to be claimed by the descendants of Elizabeth Hawksworth (nee Wedgewood)."

    "In all fairness to James Albert, there were other descendants of Elizabeth Wedgewood, namely the Bowlbys and Hawksworths (see the Moore genealogy) in Nova Scotia who were similarly convinced. However, James Albert took it upon himself to represent the Moores in this matter. Starting in 1879 and continuing until 1914, there is a file of letters in the Moore Archives wherein he corresponded with his uncles, aunts and cousins, soliciting funds and genalogical information in one effort after another which never appeared to be successful.
    However, it did result in the accumulation of genealogical information that has made the writing ofthis journal considerably easier."

    The writer assumes that this alleged fortune would be related to the famous company of Wedgewood China. See the Moore genealogy for the name Wedgewood.
