Moore is my maiden name and the first three generations of my family is covered in Ancestors and Descendants of Andrew Moore 1612-1897 by John Andrew Moore Passmore, published at Philadelphia in 1897. The remaining information I took from a family Bible and obituaries. I really have not done a lot of work with this family because so much information was readily available. I am now beginning to do the research that should both confirm and (I hope) add information.
