AndHis Times

ALEXAND ER MOOR E AND HIS TIMES

THERE appeared in the City of New York in the year 1 70 8 a

young m an nam ed Alexander Moore. On August th irty-first ofth at year hewasadm itted as a freem an of them unicipality and his

occupation wasentered as“sadler.” No earlier record of th ism an

h as been found and his origin is unknown, although an intensive

exam ination h asbeen m ade of all theMoore fam iliesat th at tim e inAm erica in the hope of disclosing h is parentage. As this accountprogressestherewill appear indicationsbearing on Moore’seducation, hisbreeding, hisch aracter and standing, and even a few slight

cluesto hispossible racial background , b ut for all purposes it m ust

b e accepted th at hewasthe first of hisline in theNew W orld.

To "b e adm itted a freem an, AlexanderMoore m ust h ave beenof age, which would placehisyear of birth as 1 687 orearlier. Th is

would seem reasonable because it isknown th at hiswifeMary diedat the age of forty—one years in 1 731 and therefore shewasborn inor about 1 690 . Of their seven ch ildren

,the datesof birth of only

two sons are known, one born in 1 7 1 2 and the other in or about

1 7 1 7, and it seem sprobable th at the parentsm arried before or soonafter Moore arrived in New York. Unfortunately , the earlyrecords of Trinity Church , to which he belonged, are largely lost,and the identity of hiswife cannot b e established .

It isinteresting to consider the infant city to wh ich Moore h ad

com e. The English historian John Oldm ixon published in th at

very year of 1 70 8 hiswork TheBritish Empire inAmericawhich gavean attractive picture of New York :

“There are now above 800

houses, th em eanestworth £ 1 0 0 in thisCity,which forthe Strengthand Pleasantness of its Situation m ay com pare with any in the

W orld . It has b ut one Parish Church , b ut th at is large and

beau tiful ; and theMinister h as 75 1 00 a year settled on h im . The

Council-House is a fair Edifice. Jam es-Fort is a strong, regularFortification, and com m andstheRiver. Besidesth is, ith asaW all to

theLand , m ounted with Ordnance, and seem sto defy thePower ofFrench orIndians. ThereisaPrinting

-Pressin th isTown. There

are also a Dutch Church , a French Church , and a Lutheran Church ;and a Free-school procur

’d to b e erected b y the present governour.

The W alls before-m ention’d in the Description of th is Citywere standing when

’twas call

’d New-Am sterdam , b ut its chief

Defencenow isAnneFort, and two new Batteries, oneon each Sideof theNarrows, to secure the Place b y Sea. The Fort is in good

Order; and there are now two Com panies of Foot in Garrisonin it.

”

Anne was Queen of England in 1 70 8 and her Governor andComm ander-in—Chief for the Province of New York was th at

unpleasant ch aracter, Edward, Viscount Cornbury , whowasto

to becom e Earl of Clarendon while a fugitive from the justice ofNew York. TheAm erican historian Brodhead departed from hisusual m oderate tone to write of Cornbury as

“a m ean liar, a vulgar

profligate, a frivolous spendth rift, an im pudent cheat, a fraudulentbankrupt, and a detestable bigot.

”New York in C ornb ury

’stim e

wasa sm all b ut cosm opolitan town, with over seventeen languagesspoken on the streets, b ut the noble Viscount

’s curious h abit of

“dressing publicly inwom an

’scloathsevery day , and pu tting a stop

to all publique business while he is pleaseing him self with that

peculiar b ut detestable m agot,”was thoroughly objectionable to

thepeople. The arrival ofJohn, Lord Lovelace, to succeed h im on

Decem ber 1 8, 1 70 8, wasgreatly welcom ed .

It wasnecessary forAlexanderMoore to b e admitted asa freem an of the city if hewanted to engage in businessasa saddler. The

Dutch governm ent h ad surrounded th e“Burgher Righ t

” withrestrictions and when the English succeeded to the control of theColony they prom ptly began to define strictly the

“Freem an

Righ t. Early in 1 665 the English au thorities issued their firstregulations on the subject. In later years the term swere several

tim es ch anged, particularly in the m atter of fees, b ut the generalcontext of the law rem ained the sam e. Itsprim ary purposewasto

reserve the right to sell by retail or to practise any trade or h andicraft, to selected citizens with certain property qualifications.Under both theDu tch and the English the ordinancewasparticu

larly aim ed at the“Scots,

”asthe itinerantpeddlerswere universally

called . The power to m ake a freem an rested with the Mayor,

Recorder, and at least th ree Alderm en.

The law h ad been revised only a few m onthsbefore AlexanderMoore b ecam e a freem an. Asadopted onMarch 2 8, 1 707, it read :

AlexanderMoorewas,naturally ,

not the only saddler in NewYork. There h ad been adm itted as freem en in the preceding ten

years five others of th at craft, nam ely John Heath and W illiam

Leathes in 1 698, Thom as Pattfield and Rich ard Greener in 1 70 2 ,

and John Guest earlier in 1 70 8. There m ay h ave been others, b uteven fivewould giveMoore a good deal of com petition in a citywhich h ad relatively few horses.

Two yearsafterMoore becam e a freem an hewaselected to hisfirst public office, th at of Tax Collector for the EastW ard . This

,

naturally , m eant th at hewas living in that ward, although he did

not own property there until 1 71 4. Hisnam e doesnot appear onthepoll list of theEastW ard taken in 1 70 1 , nor anywhereelse in the

city, and in th at year he presum ably wasnot a resident or h ad notreached voting age.

The city h ad first been divided into wards in the year 1 683,

when six such divisionswere designated — the South ,Dock

,East,

North ,W estand OutW ards. In 1 731 thenew ch arterofGovernorJohn Montgom erie prescribed the boundaries of seven wards.

They can best b e followed b y exam ining the m ap of the city pub

lished at th at tim e b y the official printer,W illiam Bradford . The

East'W ard at the tim e ofMoore’sarrival wasbounded to thenorth

b y W all Street, to the east b y the East River, then at the present

W ater Street, and to the south and west b y Sou th W illiam and

W illiam Streets. In 1 70 1 there W ere one h undred and sixty-five

voters in thisward,all m en, of course.

Therewasa m unicipal election inNew York every year on thetwenty-ninth of Septem ber,

“being the feast day of St. Mich aelthe Arch Angel]. At th is tim e the m inor officials were chosen

by the people of each ward , who chose Alderm en,Assistants

Assistant Alderm en) , Assessors, Collectors, Constables and som e

tim es Surveyors of Highways. On the sam e day the Governor,who represented the Crown b y h is com m ission,

appointed by and

with the advice of h isCouncil a Mayor and a Sheriff for a term of

oneyear. All these Officerswere alwaysinstalled on the fourteenthof October following.

At the election of Septem ber 2 9, 1 7 1 0 , Alexander Moore’s

associates on the successful ticket for the EastW ard were the fol

I3

lowing: as Alderm an, John de Peyster; as Assistant, Abrah am

W endell; asAssessors, John Reade and John Aub oyneau ; and as

Constable, Evert D uyckinck. Of these m en, Evert D uyckinck

declined to serve, asoften h appened with those chosen asConstable.

He appeared on October 2 5 , 1 7 1 0 , before the Com m on Council,consisting of the Mayor, the Recorder and at least th ree of the

Alderm en, and announced th at he was ready to pay his fine and

desired th at anotherperson b eelected . A new electionwasordered

for the following Saturday evening b ut the nam e of his successordoes not appear in the m inutes of th e Com m on Council . The

Mayor at the tim eof theelectionwasCaptain EbenezerW ilson and

the new Mayor appointed b y the Governor was Colonel JacobusVan C ortlandt, while the new Sheriff was FrancisHarison. The

Recorder or Clerk, May Bickley ,Esq . , wascontinued . At the first

Treasurer orCham berlain, wasre—elected , and theMayor appointedasHigh Constable EliasJam ain, who h ad just been elected C onstable for theW estW ard . Thiscom pleted the list of offi cers.

Theactual proceedingson thedaysof election and Of installationare of considerable interest, and are here quoted from the m inu tesof the Com m on Council :

, Philip Van Cortlandt asAssistant, John Van Hom e asthe other Assessor, AnthonyLynch asCollector and George Cock asConstable. John JohnstonwasthenMayor and hewasre-appointed . FrancisHarisonwasap

pointed Sheriff and George Cock,High Constable.

It iswell to understand the du tiesof Assessors and Collectors,as taxation b y assessm ent was a very early arrangem ent in NewYork. The first Assessors were only appointed when it was

necessary to raise a particular levy or tax. Later their election was

ordered th roughou t the Province b y Chapter 1 33 of the ProvinceLawsof 1 703 wh ich provided that every town, m anor and precinct

in theProvince should annually elect one Collector and two Asses

sors. But the City of New York h ad elected Assessors for each

ward on an annual term as early as 1 685 . Their du tieswere thusexpressed in an order of th at year:

“

RESOLVED (th at it) b e

Given to theRespective assessorsin the Severall W ardsof thisCitty,to m ake aValluaion of theEstatesof the Severall inh abitantswithintheir Said W ardsboth householders and Strangers, And therein to

Expresse wh at houses or Lands belongs to each Particular personand itsvalue and W h at value their personall EstatesareAnd m ake

Returne thereof to the Mayor.

”The Assessors apparently were

not paid , for no m ention of rem uneration appearsin the m unicipalordinancesor Provincial statu tes.

The assessm ent h aving been m ade, it was the du ty of the

Collector to bring in the tax. In no tim e h as th is been easy or

attractive em ploym ent and the early citizens of New York triedto avoid the office. To m ake this m ore difficult the Provincepassed a law th at every person in the City of New York who was

In addition to his civil appointm ents Alexander Moore held

the honorable office of vestrym an of Trinity Church . He presum ab ly joined th is ch urch soon after h is arrival In the city. Hisnam e appears on the records of the church as early as April 1 6,1 71 1 , when itwas

“Ordered th atMr. AlexanderMoorepossessand

At this tim e the fam ous ch urch wasstill in itsfirst youth . A

, th at a group of Episcopalianswere granted perm ission to b uy as a site for this ch urcha sm all piece of land without the North Gate of the said Cittybetwixt the King

’sGarden and the burying Place.

”The erection

of the church proceeded rapidly after this. On Septem ber 30 ,1 696, the Reverend Henricus Selyns, the Du tch m inister, wrote:“There are two English churches here. One is already built[rebuilt] in the Fort [the ch apel]; and the other is in course of

erection in the City [Trinity Ch urch]. Both are constructed of

stone and are neat edifices.”Trinity was com pleted and the first

service held there on March 1 3, 1 698. Little is known of the

appearance of the earliest ch urch building asit stood in the tim e Of

AlexanderMoore’sservice asvestrym an

,and before the edificewas

enlarged in 1 737. However, a letter written b y the vestry of

Trinity to the Archbishop of Canterbury abou t May ,1 709, gives

an illum inating picture of the church . W e h ave overcom e the

Debt weh ad contracted b y thebuilding of our Ch urch and Steeple,which latter is designed for a Ring of Bells; thewalls are of good

The price paid b y Alexander Moore for his pew, fifteenpounds, was sufficiently high to Show th at he h ad purch ased itrather th an rented it. This also explains the fact th at he held hispew for som e years after he h ad left the city , although the ch arterof the church provided th at the pewswere to b e rented only to

inh abitants. Itwas, however, not until July 7, 1 7 1 8 th at the pew

was confirm ed b y patent. At th at tim e the vestry Ordered th at

theChurch W ardensSign th ree several patents, one toMr. W illiam

Huddleston, one to Mr. Gabriel Ludlow and the other to Mr.

AlexanderMoore for the several Pewsthey Sit in.

At the election of March 30 , 1 7 1 4, Alexander Moore was

elected to the vestry of Trinity Church . Possibly he h ad beenappointed to thevestry during thepreceding year, between elections,ashesigned an addressof February 1 9 , 1 7 1 3 / 1 4, asoneof thevestrym en. ColonelJohnMoorewasalso a vestrym an of Trinity Church ,

and th ere issom e sm all doubt astowhether the “Mr. Moore” who

appears on the vestry from 1 709 to 1 7 1 3 wasJohn or Alexander,b ut on thewhole, it seem sprob able th at Colonel JohnMoorewas

the m an designated as“Mr. Moore.

”The Abrah am Moore to

whom theRigh t Reverend Morgan D ix ascribesthisvestry serviceexistsonly asan erroneousreading of therecords.

The ch arter of Trinity of 1 697 described the functions and

righ tsof the vestrym en in great detail. Two ch urch wardensand

twenty vestrym enwereto b eelected on theTuesday of Easter weekb y the inh abitantsof theparish and in them wasvested the right ofpresentation of the rectory and parish . The rector, ch urch wardensand vestrym enwereto h avethesam eperquisitesand powersaswere

2 4

exercised b y sim ilar officers in the Church of St . Mary—le-Bow in

London. As a body these officerswere to regulate the affairs of

the corporation and parish of Trinity, and nom inate the assistantrector, clerk and sexton, while the vestrym en, upon the death of

one of their num ber, could elect a successor. The church wardens

and vestrym enwere to assessthe parishionersfor the com pletion of

the church , for repairs, and for the rector’ssalary ,

keep books, andtake ch arge of the paym ents incurred b y the ch urch . It was also

provided in the charter th at pewswere not to b e rented to any

person not an inh abitant, and were not to b e rented without theconsent of the vestrym en.

At the foundation of the ch urch in 1 696 W illiam Vesey was

called to the m inistry . Hewas inducted into hisparish in Decemb er, 1 697, the cerem ony being held in theDu tch Reform ed Churchbuilding, asTrinity wasnot yet ready for use. For a few m onthsm ore he and his congregation used the Du tch Ch urch for their

services, asitwasnot until March 1 3 1 698, th at Trinity wasopened

and used for services. Vesey , the first m inister of thisCh urch , was

Still in office during Alexander Moore’swhole life in New York.

Hewas a good deal of a storm center, being described asof“

good

parts and bearings, exem plary life and inoffensive conversation,

b y his vestrym en on May 2 2,1 699 ; while Governor Bellom ont

wroteon Septem ber 1 1 , 1 699, th at“Mr. Vesey wantshonesty ,

and

is b y the angry party bribed”and described him as

“insolent and

wicked .

”One Of the chief bones of contention between the

m inister and the Governorwas the lease of the King’sFarm (later

known as the Queen’sFarm ) ; the sam e property which was laterthe subject of m any law suits b y the heirs of Anneke Jans. This

land h ad been leased to the church b y Governor Fletcher in 1 697,

and the lease annulled b y Bellom ont in 1 699 and again renewed byC om b ury in 1 70 2 .

A second period of quarrels between the Reverend W illiamVesey and the Governor then Robert Hunter occurred in

1 7 1 4, accom panied b y the sam e exch ange of vilifications b y the

opposing partieswhich h ad ch aracterized the earlier disputes. An

address b y“GovernorHunter’s friends” to the Bishop of London,

written at this tim e, attacked Vesey’s character bitterly , in part

2 5

because of the illegal m anner in which hewas said to h ave h ad a

vestry elected . This addressreads in part as follows.

“In 1 7 1 3 a

Vestry being called , it was proposed to them b y Mr. Vesey, th at

Mr. FrancisPh illipswho h ad deserted hiscure at Stratford , and haddone som e things here which obliged him to abscond

, should b e

favoured b y them with a certificate of hisgood b eh avioii r, directedto the people of the Church of England at Ph iladelphia. Thiswas

disputed b y m any of theVestry ,and absolu tely refused b y som e of

them em berswho werem en of established reputation in th isplace;b ut however a m ajority at lastprevailed for it; and at thesam etim e

Mr. Vesey also prevailed with ye sam em ajority to m ake a vote for

electing am ong them selves, (contrary to the rules of the Charter) ,NewMem bers, in theroom of such asShould notattend them eetingof theVestry. And som e tim e afterward finding th atwhilst thoseGentlem en who opposed th at certificate, continued in the Vestry ,itwould b e im possible to carry all hispoints there, secretly called

asm any of theVestry together ashe thought fit, and told them th at

four absentGentlem en, (indeed not sum m oned) , declined to attendthe serviceof theChurch any longer, and therefore desired them to

proceed to a new choice, which wasaccordingly done in a Tavern ;and four of them eanest of thepeople elected to supply a pretendedvacancy , wh ich we fearwill never b e so well filled again.

“My Lord we think ourselvesm uch injured In th is affair , and

what IS of the last consequencewe th ink th at the Ch urch will soonfeel the effect of th isproceeding, if it h asnot already done so; for

on the last Easter Tuesday when the Com m unicants after servicewent up to the Altar according to custom to proceed to a new

choice w. e proceeded to the choice, which , (som e few personsexcepted) , fell on the m eanest sort; for My Lord , it seem s the

com m on people h aveing seen four of theirnum ber chosen In a law

lessopposi tion to four of the best rank in the late private election,

were resolved to give thispublic dem onstration th at they though tit high tim e, and th isa fit opportunity , to bring m oreof them selves

into a share of power .Feeling ran so h igh th at on the tenth Of February, the sexton

on opening the ch urch found Vesey ssurplicesand prayer book in

the church yard, torn and m a filthy condition. In the course of

2 6

depositions taken about th is ou trage, statem entswere m ade as to

the com m entsm ade by variouscitizensab ou t Mr. Vesey , who was

called a villain, a rascal and“a Scoundrel]fellow.

”

It isclear that Vesey m adewarm enem iesin influential quarters.However, the French and Dutch Churches together dem anded

th at thosewho h ad com m itted the ou trageous invasion of Trinityshould b e punished , and the vestrym en joined the rector in an

address to the Provincial Council dated February 1 9 , 1 7 1 3/ 1 4,referring to the sacrilegiousaffront offered to the church , and com

Moore, to go back, took to hishom eon April 1 1 , 1 7 1 1 , a littlegirl often, oneAnnaMargaretRose. Thischild

’ssister, Kath arine,

then at the age of fourteen, was lost to her m other that sam e dayb y sim ilar papers of apprenticeship, the senior girl

’s m aster being

Thom as Fell. The widowed m other, one Anna C onegunda

Rose or Rusin, was left with only one girl, aged eigh t, Maria.

These two littleRose girlswho went into strange housesin April of1 7 1 1 were am ong seventy children between three and fifteenyearsold who were bound out in New York City between August31 , 1 71 0 ,

and June 2 , 1 7 1 1 . They were all of the people called

Palatines and a few words of their story seem appropriate.

Thedistrictparticularly known asthePalatinatewasa Province

in the old Kingdom of Bavaria, lying west of the Rhine. The

people of thisProvincewere generally of the Protestant faith , b ut

theruling housebecam eRom an Catholic in 1 685 and thedeprivationof certain civil rights, followed b y the invasion of a French arm y ,

forced m any Palatinesto leave. England received a great num berand sent over of them to settle in theProvince of New York.

Their arrival brough t m any problem s before the great m ajorityof theseGerm an peoplewere rem oved to new com m unitiesup theHudson River, not the least being the care of m any children, oftenwi thou t parents. The Governor and Council in the sum m er of

1 7 1 0 asked the people of the City of New York to find hom esfor

them and within a year seventy, as h as been said, were placed as

apprentices. The term s provided th at the boys b e released at

the age of seventeen and the girls at fifteen. The Crown was

particularly interested in the success of this experim ent of sendingover three thousand Palatines. All patriotic citizenswere supposedto co—operate, and the ch ildren were taken into the hom esof m anyof the leading citizens. It isinteresting to note th at Moore appears

as one of these prom inent m en. There is another indication of

Moore’s social position in the city. In the Van C ortlandt fam ily

31

h asbeen preserved a list of those present at the funeral In August,1 72 3, of Gertruyd (Sch uyler) Van C ortlandt, widow of ColonelSteph anusVan C ortlandt. Th iswasprim arily a list of the sociallyprom inent inNew York and It isof Interest to find

“AlexdMoore”

on it.

There are other records, som e of peculiar im portance, relatingto Alexander Moore in various capacities. It h appens to b e veryunusual th at his nam e never appears on court records. Probablythem ajority of settlerswere drawn asplaintiff, defendant, jurym an

or witness, into the m inor court caseswhich crowded the court

calendars of the fast—growing little city, filled with am bitious,adventurous and quarrelsom e m en. Moorewasnever m entionedin any action before the civil courts, the Council , or the m i litarycourts. He was not even fined for breach of the m any m inor

ordinances, as h appened to so m any citizens. All th is certainlyshowshim to h ave b een a m an of peaceful and dignified conduct.

His peaceful ch aracter is also indicated b y the fact th at his nam eappearson no m ilitary rolls.

On June 2 5 , 1 7 1 0 ,Alexander Moore and Jacques Fouchart

signed aswitnesses the will of Marie Grazillier, a will written in

French , a fact wh ich seem s of considerable interest, aswill be explained . On Novem ber 30 ,

1 7 1 1 , Moore, togetherwith two otherprom inent citizens, Stephen Van C ortlandt and Abraham Gouver

pounds“for trouble in supervising thiswill , in a testam entexecuted

on August 1 5 , 1 72 2 .

Atfirst im pression, itseem squite astonish ing to find AlexanderMoore associated in the solemn and intim ate cerem ony of signingawill with peopleof French andW alloon fam iliessuch asGrazillier,Fouchart, Gouverneur, Jandin (or, properly , Jodon) , Neau , and

Lapons, and alm ostexclusively with such fam ilies. It h asgiven rise

32

to the au thors’theory thatMooreknew theFrench language. This

theory will now b e developed b y studying the friendsofMoore.

Taking first, th isgroup first nam ed . JeanJacquesFouch artwas

a native of Durasin Agenoisin Guyenne, aHuguenotwho escapedfrom France to England , wasm arried in 1 688 in London to SuzanneNoger, also from Duras, and reached New York City b y 1 704.

Abrah am Gouvem eur, once Speaker of the New York Assem bly ,was naturalized in 1 683. He was of a French -speaking fam ilyresident in the Netherlands. Jean Lapons cannot b e identified.

Daniel Jodon, born on the Isle deRé, h ad com e to New York fromSouth Carolina. Beyond the interesting fact of theirFrench origin

thesem en suggestnothing of interestto a study ofAlexanderMoore,

b utMarie Grazillier and EliasNeau do.

Marie Grazillier was the daugh ter of Jean Paré and h iswifeMarieTissau of La Rochelle, and wasone of three sisterswho wereb rought to Boston in 1 681 b y their widowed m other. Of thesethree daugh ters, Marie m arried Ezekiel Grazillier of New York

,

Judith m arried Stephen Rob ineau of Rhode Island , and Suzanne

becam e the wife of EliasNeau . Neau was a rem arkable m an in

m any respects. Born in Moise, a h am let southwest of Soubise inSaintonge, France, he, in 1 679, sough t refuge in the Antilles and

spent several years in the Dutch and French islands of theW est

Indies. He h ad once been forced in France to serve in the galleys

because of hisProtestant faith . After the Revocation of the Edictof Nantes in 1 686, he isfound escaping to Boston,

apparently witha group of Huguenots from the Island of St. Christopher in the

W est Indies, who arrived th at year. Neau rem ained in Boston forsix years and there

“

m et the“Apostle to the Indians,

” John Ehot,and studied hism issionary work. Next going to New York City,Neau becam e an elder of the French Church . In 1 704 he tried tobring the th ree churches of New York— English ,

French and

Du tch — together into som ekind of a union b ut the English rector,

Mr. Vesey ,would not co-operate. Lord C om b ury appointed

Neau ascatechist in 1 704 b utVesey objected to th isalso and Neau ,

determ ined to carry on his work as catechist to the Indians and

Negroes, conform ed to the Church of England , thereby receivingVesey

’sblessing on hisreally noble lab orsand being m ade a vestry

33

m an ofTrinity Church . Neau wasam erch ant, and a successful one,and wasable to give away considerable m oney in hiswill . He lefttwenty poundsto the poor of the French Church , five poundseach

to theHuguenot m inistersof New York and of New Rochelle andto two other clergym en, twenty pounds to Trinity Ch urch , largebequests to relatives and friends, all of French orW alloon origin,

fifty pounds for printing his own hymns in French , and finally“To Rev. Mr. W illiam Vesey , Rector of Trinity Church , £ 2 5 , andto AlexanderMoore of New York, £ 2 0 for their trouble in supervising thiswill.

”

It isim possibleto deny th atNeau andMoorewereclosefriends.

They were vestrym en of Trinity Church together, they both livedin the EastW ard , and Moore was the only m an not French or

W alloon, except for clergym en, m entioned in Neau’swill. Neau

and Moore were associated in witnessing Daniel Jodon’swill , and

thereisalso thefact th atMoorewastheonly non-French orW alloon

witness of Neau’s sister-in—law’

s will. Moore signed two wills

drawn in French ,and considering all the facts, it seem svery likely

th at he knew the French language. Neau’s early connection with

the Island of St. Christopher in th eW est Indiessuggests the possib ility th at Moore h ad learned the language there, and it isof considerab le interest to note th at another friend of Moore, CaptainEbenezerW ilson, likewise h ad connectionswith those islands.

W hen AlexanderMoore first appeared in New York in 1 70 8,

and wasadmitted a freem an,and in 1 7 1 0 , when hewaselected aTax

Collector,theMayor of the city wasone Captain Eb enezerW ilson.

W ilson h ad been one of the foundersof Trinity Church and wasan

influential m em ber of the vestry when Moore was elected to it.

Moreover,W ilson lived in the EastW ard onW all Street, as did

Moore, and the land Moore bought on Sackett Streetwasnext to

W ilson’s land . The election of Moore as a Tax Collector and an

Assessor doesnot seem unrelated toW ilson’s influence in the finan

cial affairsof the m unicipality which he h ad long dom inated as the

Treasurerof theCity. W ilson h ad also served fiveyearsastheHighSheriff and Moore’selection asHigh Constable, although just afterW ilson

’sdeath , isan interesting coincidence. A consideration of all

these circum stances prom pts the belief thatMoore’s career was in

34

som e way influenced byW ilson and it seem s m ore th an probableth atW ilson

’sgreat influence in the city was in part responsible for

som e ofMoore’sactivities.The father of EbenezerW ilson was one Sam uel W ilson, a

m erch ant of London, Boston, New York and theW est Indies.Sam uelW ilson was in Boston asearly as 1 65 4. He h ad a brotherAnthony , of Fairfield, who represented th at town in the Connecticut Legislature as early as 1 646. In 1 669 Sam uel W ilson was in

both Boston and London, receiving his m ail in England“at the

W hitehorsewith in Aldgate, London. Sam uel W ilson was interested in shipping horses, am ong other things, to Barbados, a circumstance of possible interest when one thinksof AlexanderMoore asa

saddler. Asearly as 1 676 Sam uel W ilson held office asa Surveyor

in New York City ,in 1 677 he owned a house

“at thewalls,

”and

in 1 686 wasanAlderm an. Hedied inNewYork City in 1 688.

Theson, EbenezerW ilson,asalready intim ated ,wasaprom inent

figure in New York. As early as 1 697, he was a vestrym an of

Trinity and wasin charge of the fundsfor the construction of thatchurch . In 1 69 1 hewasTreasurer of the City, High Sheriff from1 70 2 to 1 707 and Mayor from 1 70 7 to 1 709 . On March 2 8, 1 69 1 ,

hewas com m issioned Captain of the Fourth Military Com pany of

the city and hispostwason the fu tureW all Street: “HisPostt to

take Care of the fortifications 85 blockhouse b y thewater-gate, andfrom thencewestward to yeBostion Zelandia Inclusive.

”Ebenezer

W ilson wasa thorn in the side of theEarl of Bellom ont, Governorof the Province in 1 698. W ilson was the first m an rem oved b yBellom ont from office and was later arrested b y the Earl. Bellom ont claim ed thatW ilsonwasoneof thefour leadersof theJacobiteparty, the others being Colonel NicholasBayard , Colonel GabrielMinvielle, and the HonorableW illiam Nicoll . Bellom ont com

plained th at theJacobitesh ad a little club of twenty-seven m em berswhich m et every Saturday evening. In reports to London the

Governor ch arged thatW ilson h ad concealed m his housewithou tpaym ent of du ties £ 2 ,0 00 worth of East India goods, with the

connivance of C hidley Brook, the Collector and Receiver-Generalwho

“boarded with W ilson.

”A great deal m ore could b e said

about Ebenezer W ilson b ut it will m erely b e noted th at at his

35

death abou t 1 72 3 hewas su rvived only b y two daugh ters, one thewifeofDavid Jones, of England , lateLieutenant in theBritish Navy ,

and theother, Margaret, thewifeofW illiam Mahon of the Island ofSt. Ch ristopher.

It isunwise to attem pt to draw too con fident deductionsfromthin cluesb ut in the attem pt to arrive atAlexanderMoore

’spossible

background , it isat least interesting to speculateon theknown facts.

Both EliasNeau and EbenezerW ilsonwere undoubtedly neighborsand associates of Alexander Moore. Both Neau andW ilson h ad

interests in the Island of St. Ch ristopher and both knew Boston.

Th rough the account of Neau the inference is drawn th atMooreknew French . In connection withW ilson’s interest inW est Indiantrade, including the shipm ent of horses, and rem em bering W ilson

’s

experiences as City Treasurer, as Treasurer for Trinity Church ,

and in other financial posts, one can b e perm itted to recall th atMoorewasa saddler and th at hispostsin the city service ofAssessor

and C ollector m igh t possibly h ave been the result of training b yW ilson. The Island of St. Christopher h ad m any Irish settlers as

well asFrench ,and itwill later appear, in the study of hischildren,

thatMoore probably h ad Scotch -Irish relatives. Finally , it m ay b e

wise at th isplace to introduce two item sfrom the recordsconcerning these two placeswith which W ilson and Neau Were associated .

Possibly they are of no value, b ut on the other h and , they m ay

perh aps b e clues of im portance. On February 1 7, 1 634, one

AlexanderMore, then aged twenty-four years, sailed from England

year in order th at Lath am m igh t b e in actual possession of the land

and therefore, according to the law then in force, entitled to receivea grant of it. On the following day , April 2 9 ,

1 741 , AlexanderMoore of New Brunswick, then described asvintner, and Elizabethhiswife, sold thisproperty to John Lath am for two hundred and

fifty pOIinds. Thewitnessesto both these deedswereAbelHardenbrook and Jam esLyne. Evidently the property h ad appreciated invalue astherewasa profitof twenty poundsin thistransaction.

Som eth ing should b e told of the history of W all Streetwhereso m uch ofAlexanderMoore

’slifeinNew York wascentered . On

this street he lived and worked, here was the City Hall where heoften went on hispublic duties, and here his church and probab lyhistavern.

In the early days of the Dutch a large public sheep pasturestretched across the presentW all Street, running from the present

New Street toW illiam Street. Thiswas later sold as large farms.

In 1 644 cam e a tim e when the infant village of New Am sterdam

faced possible exterm ination b y the Indian tribes, enraged as the

savageswere b y the cruel and stupid treatm ent visited on them b ytheDutch Director General,W illem Kieft . Thewhite settlersh adbeen driven in and very few cattleh ad survived . For theprotection

of these precious anim als all their owners h astily erected“a good

solid fence” across the town. There was com paratively safepasture sou th of th at fence.

Less th an ten years later Holland and England were at war,

and New Am sterdam feared shewas in imm inent danger of beingattacked from New England . InMarch of 1 65 3 itwasdecided that,asFort Am sterdam could not hold all the inh abitants,

“the greater

part of the City”should b e surrounded with a high stockade and a

sm all breastwork. The people of the city contribu ted florins

for defense purposes. Thiswasnot enough m oney for a solid line

of postsso plankswereused In part. Thewall stood ninefeetaboveground and the breastwork against itwas four feet high , four feetwide at the bottom and three at the top,

and covered with sod, and

5 4

at a distance of two and a h alf feet from the breastwork was cut a

ditch , three feetwide and two feet deep. Thiswall was feetlong and stretched from the EastRiver, then at Pearl Street, wheretherewasplaced a

“water gate,”to theNorth River, behind Trinity

Church . The land gate stood at theHeeren Stract or Briedeweg(Broadway) . W hen houseswere built sou th of the line of thewall

,

theDutch called the street LangsdeWal (along theW all ) while thenorth side of Pearl Street and Hanover Square toW all Street was

called Longs Strant (along the shore) . The Dutch also called the

streetwith in theW all the cingel, a term often used by them inHolland for the road just inside fortifications. The Enghsh translatedth isinto-

“thesingle,

”a term used in thedeedsforAlexanderMoore

’s

property .

Thewall wasnever used in war b ut stood until 1 699. In th atyear the citizenspetitioned the Governor about it, stating:

“That

the form er line of fortifications th at did Range Along theW all

Street from the East to theNorth River togetherwith the Bastiansth atwere thereon Erected are fallen to decay . Further, they said

that buildings had encroached on the wall and th at it was useless

as a defense. As a final argum ent: the new City Hall was to b e

built there and the stone used in the bastionswould b e useful forthenew building. The stone bastions, added in 1 692 , stood on the

northeast corner of W all Street and Broadway and the northwestcorner (not the northeast corner, which ism arked b y a tablet) ofW all andW illiam Streets. Theoriginal housesfacing thewallweretap

-room s, beer-shopsor sh antiesand until the new City Hall was

built on the sligh t rise at the head of Broad Street the street was

lacking in any dignity.

TheDam en fam ily’sfarm ran south to where the ditch stood ,

b ut thepresentnorth line ofW all Streetwasbetween fifty to sixtyfeet south of the ditch . The sou therly line of the street was the

original“sheepwalk,

”and between this and the ditch was a wide

space of about one hundred feet, originally designed for them ove

m entof thedefending troops. W hen thewall cam edown GovernorDongan saw an opportunity for one of the littleways to im prove

his fortune so welcom e to the King’s executives in the Province.

He h ad one of his officerspurch ase from the Dam en heirs a strip

5 5

eigh ty feet deep along the lineof the ditch . To thisheadded fortytwo to forty—five feet

gsou th of the ditch when hefixed thenorth line

of W all Street and thereby got a row of lots one h undred and

twenty-two to one hundred and twenty

—four feet deep. He then

sold the lots.

It isnot difficult to arrive at som e description ofW all Street inAlexanderMoore

Trinity Church with its porch facingW all Street and with treesshowing to each side. Between Broadway and Nassau Street, onthe north side, the only building was the Presbyterian Church ,

erected in 1 7 1 9. The City Hall stood at the north end of BroadStreet, facing down the incline. Its corner stone was laid in 1 696

Before leaving New York City with Alexander Moore for h is

new hom e in New Brunswick, New Jersey, som e m ention should

b em ade of them ajor eventsin the history of New York during hisstay there. Lord Lovelacearrived onDecem ber 1 8, 1 70 8, to succeedViscount C om b ury asGovernor, b ut he cam e on shore ill and was

neverwell again, dying onMay 6 , 1 709. However, heh ad attendedto the dutiesof hisoffice, which called at th at tim e for taking stepsto raise a m ilitary force to invade Canada. Invasions of Canadawere often planned during New York

’s Colonial history although

m ost '

of th em did not com e off. But the businessof planning suchan expedition pretty m uch upset thewhole com m unity. Lovelacewas succeeded b y the Lieutenant Governor, Colonel Rich ardIngoldesb y . On June 8, 1 709, New York h ad itsfirst paper curreney , which was issued to prom ote the expedition to Canada.

The invasion was abandoned soon after this because the expected

English fleet wasnot sent.

Meanwhile, Cornbury ,who h ad been a prisonerform alfeasancein office, now escaped . In Septem ber, 1 709 , the new Governor,Colonel RobertHunter, wasappointed b ut did not arriveprom ptly .

Abou t th istim eoneAndrew Clark wasoperating a new“Gram m ar

Free-School” in New York. Also in 1 709, th e first steps were

taken for the reception of the Palatinesprom ised by England .

The Queen revoked Ingoldesb y’s com mission early in 1 7 1 0 and

Gerardus Beekm an, as President of the Council, governed the

Province for a tim e. The Palatines started to com e in June and

Governor Hunter arrived on the fourteenth of th at m onth .

Hunter in 1 7 1 1 h ad to givehis efforts toward raising a new

expedition against Canada. Six hundred m en h ad to b e raised anda city regim ent was form ed in New York. Indians were also

60

organized as allies and Hunter went about conferring with other

governors. New York City repaired its fortifications, establisheda coast patrol and a system of beacons and the whole town was

stirred with preparations. In the first week of August, 1 7 1 1 , all

them ale inh abitantsof New York able to bear arm sh ad to turn outequipped for war, and unless Alexander Moore was physicallydisqualified he was carrying a m usket th at day . The expedition

finally proceeded toward Canada b ut did not get m uch beyondAlbany . New York City wasnever attacked b y the French fleet,although French privateersh arassed theEnglish shipping.

In April of 1 7 1 2 a dreadful affair shocked New York. This

wasthe fam ousNegro Conspiracy . A group of abou t twenty-fiveto thirty slaves planned to capture and sack New York, a crazyadventure, b ut one which startled and terrified New York

,and

which received savage and bru tal treatm ent. The arm ed Negroes

actually advanced on the citizens and killed ab out ninewhi tes andwounded others before a m ilitary com pany could b e turned out.

The slaves retreated to the woods, wh ich were surrounded b ym ilitia the next day . Six of the blacks com m itted suicide b ut

twenty-one lived to suffer death b y hanging, torture and slow fires.

In June of 1 71 2 the first censuswas taken in New York Cityand in Octob er newsarrived of peacewith France. Itwassom e tim elater before the peacewas officially proclaim ed and on August 1 7,1 7 1 3, the Comm on Council voted :

In the year 1 730 Alexander Moore h ad determ ined to m ove

The town was described b y variousearly travellers, m ostly in

flattering terms. Alexander Hamilton, M .D . , m ade a trip across

New Jersey in 1 744 and wrote of“Brunswick,

a neat, sm all City inEast Jersey Governm ent, bu ilt chiefly of brick and lying upon the

Raritan river, abou t sixty m iles northeast of Ph iladelphia. Iforded theRaritan river, the tide being low and the scow aground ,so th at I could not ferry over.

”Four years later, in 1 748, Peter

Kalm , a Swedish traveller, described the town asfollows: “About

noon we arrived at New Brunswick, a pretty little town in the

province of New Jersey , in a valley on the west side of the riverRareton; on account of itslow Situation, it cannot b e seen (com ingfrom Pensylvania) before you get to the top of the hill, which isquite close up to it: the town extendsnorth and south along the

river. The Germ an inh abitants h ave two churches, one of stone

and the other ofwood ; theEnglish church isof the latterkind , b utthe presbyterians were building one of stone: the town house

m akeslikewisea pretty good appearance. Som eof theother housesarebuiltof bricks, b utm ostof them arem adeeitherwholly ofwood ,or of bricksand wood ; thewooden housesare not m ade of strongtim ber, b utm erely of boardsor planks, which arewithin joined b ylaths, such housesasconsist of both wood and bricks, h ave only thewall towards the street of bricks, the other sides being m erely of

planks. This peculiar Kind of ostentation would easily lead a

travellerwho passesth rough thetown in h aste, to believe th atm ostof the houses are built of bricks. The houseswere covered withshingles; before each door there was an elevation,

to which youascend b y som e stepsfrom the street ; it resem bled a sm all balcony ,

and h ad som e bencheson both sides, onwhich thepeople sat in the

evening, in order to enjoy the fresh air,and to h ave the pleasure of

viewing those who passed b y . The town h as only one streetlengthways, and at its northern extremity there is a street across;both of these are of a considerable length .

“The riverRareton passesh ard b y thetown, and isdeep enough

for great yach tsto com e up ; itsbreadth near the town iswith in the

reach of a com m on gun shot ; the tidecom esup several m ilesbeyondthe town. One of the streets is alm ost entirely inh abited b yDutchm en, who cam ehither from Albany , and for that reason they

m ust h avebeen apleasant placeto livein, asonFebruary 2 6,Alexander Moore enlarged his holdings in New Brunswick bybuying the house and lot next to his first purch ase. New Brunswick was particularly noted b y early travellers for its beautifulwom en, said by one writer to h ave been the fairest in Am erica.

Moorepaid onehundred and forty—fivepoundsforhisnew property ,

the owners being John Pettenger and hiswife Tem perance. The

deeds for these two New Brunswick properties do not exist b utthey arem entioned in the deed m ade b y Moore

From the execu tor’s deed it is learned th at the first lot, bought in1 730 , wasbounded b y Cornelius Sollom

’sproperty, Burnet Street,

Jacob Q uke’swell, and Cornelius Sollom

’shouse. The second lot,

bought in was bounded b y Jacob Ouke’s land , Matthew

Sollom’s land, Burnet Street and the River. Moore h ad held h is

property in New York City all this tim e and did not sell his lots

there until 1 738 and 1 741 .

HE N RY M O O R E

2 . Henry2 Moore (Alexanderl ) , after hisnam ewasm entioned

in hisfather’swill , wasfirstrecorded onMay 2 2 , 1 75 5 , when hewasm arried in W intonb ury Parish , Connecticu t, now the town of

Bloom field . The entry reads:“Henry Moore from Pensilvania 8:

Elizabeth Tuller m arried .

”There isno doubt about the identity

of Elizabeth Tuller. Shewasborn onJanuary 1 7, 1 72 1 , at Sim sbury,Connecticut, and wasa daughterofW illiam and Dam aris (Cornish )Tuller. Through her

-m other she was descended from Rich ard

Treat, a Magistrate and Assistant of Connecticut, and one of thosenam ed in theCh arter of 1 662 ; and from HenryW olcott, thefounderof a distinguished Connecticut fam ily.

It h as required long investigation and study to establish the

parentage of Henry Moore. In ordernot to interrupt thisaccountof his life the argum ent as to his identification will b e presentedseparately at the close of hisbiography .

Ash asb een told , Alexander1 Moore died leaving a widow and

seven children. Thewidow m arried again and she and the children

disappeared from thevicinity of NewBrunswick,New Jersey . One

son, Alexander, Jr. , isknown to h ave studied m edicine and settled

in Bordentown, New Jersey , near thePennsylvania line. It isquite

possible th at thewhole fam ily h ad m oved to or near Ph iladelphia.

W henHenryMooreappeared in Connecticuthewasam an of aboutth irty-eightyears. It seem slikely th at hem ay h avem arried beforeand it is possible he was the Henry Moore who m arried SarahThom as in the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia on the

eighteenth of the fifth m onth (July) 1 737. Th is Henry Moore

cannot b e located in any Philadelphia records and hiswife Sarahdoesnot appear in the W ills and deeds of Ph iladelphia County or

adjoining counties. The records of W intonb ury Parish in C on

necticut show th atHenry Moore h ad to b e baptized and“own

”

or

accept the Covenant before he could join the church . Thism eant

that he h ad previously belonged to another denom ination.

81

Noth ing isknown ofHenryMoore’sm ovem entsfrom the tim e

he left New Brunswick as a young m an of about twenty-six yearsuntil hisappearance in Sim sbury in 1 75 5 . At Sim sbury hem arried,h ad four‘

children, enlisted for m ilitary service and died far fromhom e. He never owned any land in or near Sim sbury, althoughh isW ife h ad som e land out of her father sestate. Even hisoccupation isuncertain aswill appear when the inventory of h isestate is

studied .

From Moore’sinventory weknow th at he h ad som eeducation

as he owned books and ink-pots. W ith our knowledge of his

father and of his brother it would b e expected th at Henry wouldh ave received som e schooling.

At first though t it is difficult to explain how Henry Mooreof New Brunswick, New Jersey , could h ave even known of Sim s

bury ,Connecticut, b ut there h appens to b e a satisfactory way to

account for th at . This explanation will involve a digression to

discuss the preoccupation of m any m en in the Colonieswith the

subject of m ining. Public of ficers and enterprising b usiness m enwere deeply interested in finding copper, lead and iron, so when a

copper m inewas discovered at Sim sbury ou tside capital prom ptlytook over the property , and rich m en in Rhode Island , New York,and New Jersey tried to b ecom e richer th rough this ore.

One of the m ost active b ackers of this Sim sbury m ine was

EliasBoudinot of New York City and Jam aica,Long Island , who,

onApril 2 4, 1 7 1 3, paid two hundred poundsfor a sm all sh are. This

was a large sum for the tim es b utwithin two yearsBoudinot soldone-half h is sh are to Ch arles C rom m eline of New York City forth ree hundred pounds, a very considerable profit. Boudinot 5

activitiesin them ine continued through variousstepsuntil h isdeathin 1 72 0 when hestill owned one-sixth of them ine, b uth ad borrowedheavily on his interest in order to develop the property . Hisheirssold out hisshare to Andrew Fresneau ofNewYork City onMarch2 7, 1 72 1 . Gradually all the outside owners of the m ine, who m

cluded John Low, Joseph and David Ogden,all three prom inent

citizensofNewark, New Jersey, disposed of their sh aresto Sim sburym en, who h ad stopped all m ining operations b y 1 745 , lackingcapital to carry on.

Perh apsth isisourHenry Moore and perh apsnot, b ut certainlyHenry Moore of New Brunswick knew about Sim sbu ry and its

m ine. It will b e recalled th athisfatherAlexanderMooreh ad m anyinfluential Huguenot friends and he certainly knew the Boudinotfam ily in New York City, aswell as in New Brunswick. It isof

further interest to note th at the senior EliasBoudinot, hewith the

Sim sbury interests, lived in Jam aica, Long Island , the latter part of

hislife. Here also lived at tim esJam esHenderson whose daugh term arried AlexanderMoore, Jr. , brotherof ourHenryMoore. Also,

there lived in Jam aica for a tim e Seth Moore, a Scotch -Irish schoolteacher, whose W ill wasfiled in Jam aica, in New York City, andalso in Philadelphia. As will appear, Henry Moore nam ed his

second son Seth ,and it is believed there was som e relationship

b etween Henry and Seth Moore.

Referencesto Henry Moore on th e Sim sbury records are few.

After his m arriage, noted inW intonb ury Parish , that church h asthese entries:

December 1 4, 1 75 5 . Henry Moore an adultperson baptized, agedperhaps38 years.

The investm ent of Havana wasm ade b y a British fleet underthe com m and of Adm iral Sir George Pocock and land forcesunderthe Earl of Albem arle. The siege continued from June untilAugustwhen the city capitulated , after severe losseson both sides.

TheBritish leaderslevied great sum son the city and the church and

held Havana until peace cam e in 1 763.

The soldierswho went to Havana h ad a fearful experience,chiefly suffering from sickness rather th an dying in battle. It is

b elieved th at less than one-third of the regim ent returned hom e.

Of Captain Hum ph rey’s forty-seven m en twenty—two h ad died

before leavingHavana. Of the full strength of th e regiment, eigh thundred and two m en, on the last return,

m ade October 1 6, 1 762 ,

only forty m en were fit for duty .

Henry Moore’sdeath on July 2 9, 1 762 , showed th at he died on

the passage down, asHavana was not reached until August l oth .

Hewas alm ost certainly buried at sea. It isvery doubtful th at hewould ever h ave returned to his hom e in Connecticut. Fourteen

m en h ad gone out from am ong hisimm ediateneighborsof TurkeyHillsand only two cam e back.

Although Henry Moore died on July 2 9, 1 762 , hiswidow does

notseem to h ave learned of her lossfor alm ost a year. Herpositionm ust then h ave b een tragic. Her husband’sestatewas a sm all one

and she h ad four sm all children on her h ands, the eldest seven yearsold and theyoungest, who h ad never seen hisfather, lessth an a year

in age. Thewidow Eliz abeth went to court on July 5 , 1 763, andwasgranted lettersof adm inistration on herhusband

a bond with Gideon Burr ofW indsor.

The bond wasa printed form with certain wordsand declarationswritten in. It read substantially asfollows

THE IDENTIFICATION OF HENRY2 MOORE.

(c. 1 7 1 7— 1 762 )

The present authors are convinced thatHenry Moorewas the

son ofAlexanderMoore b ut itseem sadvisable to treat thesubjectofhis identification separately as m any genealogists have, worked on

the problem , which wasadm ittedly a very difficult one to solve.

At an early stage in the researches into theMoore genealogythelineh ad been carried back from thepresent generation toHenry 2Moore. There could b e no doubt as to the evidence collected to

establish the descendants of Henry2 Moore b ut there was long

uncertainty over h is ancestors.The facts definitely established ab out Henry Moore after his

appearancein Sim sbury , Connecticut, will b eheresetforth in order

(1 ) W hen hewasm arried at Sim sb ury onMay 2 2 , 1 75 5 , hewas

entered on the church record as“from Pensilvania.

(2 ) W hen hewasbaptized at Sim sbury on Decem ber 1 4, 1 75 5 ,the church record called h im

“an adult person,

aged perh aps 38

ears.Y

(3) Also on Decem ber 1 4, 1 75 5 , the records of W intonb uryParish stated th at “

HenryMooreownd ye C ovtand wasb aptizd and

hisW ife renewd ye C ovt.”

(4) Henry Moore lived in Sim sbury from 1 75 5 until h is

enlistm ent asa soldier in 1 762 .

(5 ) HenryMooreowned no land in ornear Sim sb ury and fromhisinventory doesnot seem to h avebeen engaged in m uch farm ing.

There m ay b e deduced from the evidence of his inventory th at he

wasa m an of enough education to read and write, not b y any m eans

universal accom plishm ents in his day and generation.

(6) Henry Moore’s children were nam ed Henry ,Elizabeth ,

Sabra and Seth . The eldest ch ild , Henry3 Moore, h ad children

nam ed Thersey ,W illiam Henry ,Sarah Judd , Peter, Alvah Churchill,

Olive Leonard , Daniel, Elizabeth and Soph ronia. All these nam es

appear am ong the im m ediate ancestorsand relativeson them aternalside except for Henry,

Sabra, Seth ,W ill iam Henry and Thersey .

The nam eHenry was, of course, given because it was the father’s

98

nam e. The nam es Sabra, Seth ,W illiam Henry and Thersey m aybe assum ed to h ave com e in whole or in part from the Moore

In further reference to these established facts about HenryMoore som e explanations should b e added . Obviously ,

“fromPensilvania

”m eant th at Moore cam e from the Province of th at

nam e, b ut it did not m ean th at he h ad spent all hislife there. The

entry th athewas“aged perhaps38 years

”doesnotnecessarily m ean

th at hewasexactly th irty-eight and therefore born in theyear 1 7 1 7.

Ifoneknew the circum stancesunderwhich theentry wasm ade one

could b etter determ ine the accuracy of it. HenryMoorewasa m an

of som e education and probably knew hisown age, if hewished to

tell it. However, the m inister or the clerk of the parish m ay h ave

m adea guessasto the age. On thewhole, itseem sm ore likely th attheagewasa guess. If itwasa guess, itm ay b e th atHenryMoore 5agediverged asm uch asfiveyearson eithersideof theagegiven, and

he m ay h ave been born any tim e between 1 71 2 and 1 72 2 . W hen

Henry Moore owned the covenant and wasbaptized wh ile hiswifem erely renewed the covenant it certainly m eant th at she h ad previously been a m em ber of the sam e denom ination wh ile he h adbelonged to another.

Theproblem therefore reduced itself to these term s: if aHenryMoore can b e found who wasborn perhaps in 1 71 7 and certainlybetween 1 7 1 2 and 1 72 2 , who h ad had the opportuni ty to h ave

received som e schooling, who h ad belonged to another denom ination than the Congregational Church , who m igh t h ave been in

a for a long orshortperiod, onewhosefam ily containedthe nam es, Sabra, Seth , W illiam Henry and Thersey ,

or som e of

them , and a Henry Moorewho migh t h ave been in Sim sbury from1 75 5 to 1 762 , and if no otherHenry Moorecan b efound who m eetsthese conditions, it m ay b e considered established th at the HenryMoorewhose life agreeswith theseprem isesisth at Henry Mooreof

Sim sbury.

The Henry Moore born to Alexander Moore of New York

City and New Brunswick, New Jersey , m igh t h ave been born in

1 71 7 or at any tim e between 1 71 2 and 1 72 2 . Hisfatherwasa m an

of education and position and his brother was a physician and

99

AlexanderMoorewould certainly h aveseen th at hissonHenry was

taugh t to read and write. Alexander Moore belonged to the

Church of England b oth in New York City and New Brunswick.

AlexanderMoore’swidow m arried again and left New Brunswick

possibly for Pennsylvania, and h isson Alexander lived in Bordentown,

near the Pennsylvania line. Moreover, New Brunswickitself was on the m ain highway to Ph iladelphia and a m ovem ent

into Pennsylvania b y any son of Alexander would h ave beennatural enough . The probate and land records of every Pennsylvania County organized before 1 75 5 h ave been searched withoutfinding Henry Moore, so certainly hewasnot th ere for any lengthof tim e. Henry, son of Alexander, cannot b e found anywhere

else from 1 75 5 to 1 762 and m igh t h ave gone to Sim sb ury, which

wasknown to New York and other large citiesasthe location of a

copper m ine which h ad attracted a good deal of outside capital.Finally , Henry Moore, theson of Alexander, h ad a b rotherW illiam ,

and the wife of another brother wasnam ed Titia or Tessia fromwhich Thersey m igh t h ave com e. Am ong the descendants of

Alexander Moore, Jr. ,are foundW illiam Henry and Henderson

Moore. Therewasalso a Seth Moore, a Scotch -Irish schoolm asterwho owned property in New York City , Jam aica

, New York,

and in Pennsylvania, in all of which placesthe fam ily of AlexanderMoore h ad connectionsand associations, and th is Seth Moore m ayeasily h ave been a relative of AlexanderMoore.

Henry Moore, the son of Alexander, therefore com es close to

m eeting all the conditions, b ut itwasalso necessary to study otherMoore fam ilies to m ake certain th at there was no other HenryMoorewho could m eet them . For th at reason an intensive exam inationwasm adeof all theMoore familiesin theAm erican Coloniesfrom 1 62 0 to 1 730 and the resultsof th at investigation, given in th is

book, show th at there isno otherHenry Moorewhose life can b e

reconciled with wh at isknown ofHenry Moore of Sim sbury .

Com m ent on th ism atterm igh t b eextended along a few paths.

In thefirst place, previousinvestigatorsh avenatu rally m adem uch of

the fact th at Henry Moorewent to Sim sbury , a townwith m any of

son of Daniel4 (Joseph3, Joseph

z, John1 of Newtown, New York) ,

and his father Daniel was not born until 1 709. A record of the

descendantsof the form er Long Island Moore fam ily ,aswell asof

the latter, appears later in this book.

Several referenceshave already been m ade to Seth Moore, theScotch -Irish schoolm aster, and he should b e further identified .

On February 2 5 , 1 742 ,he applied for a grant of forty m ore acresin

the present Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Hewished th is land

to adjoin his other land so that he would h ave two hundred and

twenty-eigh tacresaltogether. Heseem sto h avereceived thegrant,

b ut he did not take up the land . Noth ing m ore isknown of him

In the probate record Seth Moore is referred to as a schoolm aster.

, with the exception

of the Dutch possessions, which later becam e the property of the

Duke of York. The Connecticut Susqueh annah Com pany was

form ed inJuly ,1 75 3, and a purchasewaseffected from the Indians,

a treaty with the FiveNationsbeing signed at Albany on July 1 1 ,

1 75 4. The Susquehannah Company now considered it owned

about square m iles, all in the present State of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania contended that Connecticut h ad never owned this

tract, stating th at the King was deceived when he m ade the grant

and that itought to b erestricted to reasonable lim its. Further, that

Connecticut h ad m ade no claim until after W illiam Penn h ad

received a ch arter and h ad extinguished the Indian titles.

owned a share in the Susquehannah Com pany . However, the

Com pany did not send out any surveyorsuntil 1 75 5 and then war

with theFrench prohibited any settlem entsuntil theyear 1 762 , when

a few m en went out. In 1 763 about two hundred went there to

settle and in 1 768 there were Connecticut people there.

Before long there were settlers. There is no reason to

dwell further on the Susquehannah venture which brought aboutm assacresand war between Connecticut and Pennsylvania m en. It

issufficient that therewere no Connecticut settlerson the dispu tedtract beforeHenry Moore h ad died in m ili tary service, and HenryMoore “from Pensilvania

IN TR O D UC TION

It h asbeen explained in Part Iof thisbook that extensive investigationswerenecessary to establish the parentageof one Henry Moore, briefly a resident of Sim sbury ,

Connecticut, who died on the Expedition to Havana in1 762 . As part of thiswork the history and genealogy of

every early Am erican Moore fam ily wasstudied in order

to m ake certain that no m ore than one m an m et the con

dirionsestablished b y the factsdefinitely known about thisHenry Moore. The m aterial collected in the course of

these researches seem ed too valuable to b e kept frompublication and it is consequently here presented in the

hope that those of the Moore nam e will find the resultsinteresting.

About three hundred and twenty Moore fam iliesorindividuals whose fam ily connections have not beenestablished, are separately considered , som e of them verybriefly. R epeatedly, only a single brief reference to an

individual could b e found, and it is possible that if m orefactswere availablesuch individualswould b e found to b em em bers of other groups. It is believed that there havebeen included all Moores appearing previous to the year

1 730 in the New England Colonies, in New York, New

Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland . Practically all those in

Pennsylvania are noted, b ut in Virginia and the Carolinasonly thosefam iliesareincludedwhich seem ed to b eof suchstanding as to suggest possibilities of m ovem ent to the

North. Migration from the South to the North wasexceedingly rare in theperiod under consideration.

Many of the genealogies are carried down well pasttheyear 1 730 , b ut all of them havebeen kept to brief lim itsand biographical m aterial has been strictly pared down.

Descendantsthrough fem ale lineshave been excluded .

1 81

Itwasoriginally intended to publish listsof allColonialsoldiersof the nam e of Moore, b ut these lists becam e so

extensive that they wereentirely om itted and in general noattem pt has been m ade to establish military service for

thoseof theMoorenam e. Consequently, theomission ofa referenceto such serviceisnotto b e taken to m ean in anycase that such servicewasnot perform ed .

It will b e appreciated by even the casual student ofgenealogy that such a book asishereattem pted offersgreatpossibilitiesof error. Theauthorscan only statethat everyefforthasbeenm adeto reduceinaccuraciesto them inim um .

Following the usual genealogical practise, superiornum bers are used after the namesof ancestors to indicatethe degree of descent from the Am erican founder of thefam ily . Thus, John2 Moore would b e in the second

generation and Thom as3 Moore in the third.

TheEnglish governm ent did not adopt until 1 75 1 thenew calendarwhich had been in use on the continent forsom e tim e previous. Thisnew calendar changed thefirstday of theyear from March z 5 th toJanuary Istand in 1 75 2

eleven daysweredropped in orderto com pletethereform .

Thus Thursday, Septem ber 3, 1 75 2 , becam e Thursday,Septem ber 1 4, 1 75 2 . In order to indicate the date at

present m eant, double dating is used in this book for thedays between January Ist and March 2 5 th , for exam ple:March 3, 1 65 4 5 5 , and therecordshave been double datedwhen it is perfectly plain that the record waswritten oldstyle. Otherwise dates are transcribed as found , as it is

often im possible to tell whether a date isold ornew style.

No attem pt h as been m adeto subtract the correct num berof d

zys, b ut only to indicate the year as at present under

the parents, m asters, and aged m en. The inform ation about th isJohn ispresented in detail asso little isavailable. Ethel StanwoodBolton supplies the following notes about this m an, published inthe New England Historical and Genealogical Register:

“There

was a John Moore of Cam bridgewho owned land there as late as

1 642 and there h asb een an effort, th usfar fruitless, to prove th at hewas identical with John Moore of Sudbury , b ut it seems doubtful,Since the land owned b y JohnMoore of Cam bridge h asbeen traced

to hisdescendants. Itwasfinally sold , abou t the tim e of theRevolution b y a Cam bridgem an

, who h appened to b e living in Sudburyat the tim e, b ut who was not a descendant of John Moore of

Sudbury.

Itwaslong though t th at hewasRich ard Mann of Scituate, Massa

Rich ard More was in W illiam Brewster’s household at the

ashissecondwifeJaneHollingsworth , daughter OfRich ardHollingsworth of Salem . She died on Octob er 8, 1 686, at the age of fiftyfive, and shewasburied at Salem .

Morewas living at Duxbury as late as 1 637 as in Novem b erof th at year he sold his house and land th ere to Ab rah am Blush .

He was a fisherm an and m aster m ariner and was known as“Captain.

”As early as July 8

, 1 643, Rich ard More, fisherm an,

was granted h alf an acre at Salem , and he acquired a wharf andwarehouse th ere. On October 2 3, 1 65 7, John Saffin arrested

Rich ard Moore for defam ation, and Moorewasm ade to apologize.

He was one of the grantees on an Indian deed of April 2 , 1 65 9,

in Plym ou th Colony and in 1 667 Richard More “ofMassachusetts

”

joined with those of Plym outh Colony asagrantor. In October,1 668, Rich ard More with his sons, Rich ard and Caleb , signed a

petition at Salem ,against im posts. More was granted land at

Swansea and Taunton and on August 30 , 1 673, he sold his righ ts

to land in Swansea. He was perm itted to keep a public houseat Salem in 1 674,

“b eing brough t so low.

”On Septem ber 2 7,

1 684, Rich ard More, Sr. , deposed before the Provincial Court ofMaryland th at hewasthen about seventy yearsOld and th at he h ad

com etoPlym outh in 1 62 0 . In 1 686,hepetitioned theMassachusetts

It isinteresting to note th atRich ard1 and Rich ard“Morewerem arinersaswere Sam uel Dutch and Joshua Conant, sons-in—law of

THOROUGHGOOD MOOR of New York.

1 . The Reverend Thoroughgood1 Moor was a native of

England and cam e to Am erica in 1 704, as a m issionary of the

Society for Propagating theGospel in Foreign Parts. Im m ediatelyon h is arrival he entered into theMoh awk country and penetrated

th rough the snow to theMoh awk Castle. The Indians, however,werenotyet ready to receiveh im and hereturned to Alb any wherehe waited about a year without accom plishing his m ission. In

1 70 5 he gave up hisproposals to serve the Indiansand returned toNew York. At thistim e theReverend Mr. Talb ot of Burlington,

New Jersey , was called to England on b usiness and he asked

Thoroughgood Moor to fill h is pulpit during his ab sence. Moor

served in Burlington and Hopewell, New Jersey , and organized

a church atBristol, Pennsylvania. W hile atBurlington he becam eso scandalized at the conduct of Lieutenant Governor Rich ardIngoldesb y th at herefused to adm ithim to theLord’sSupper. Moorwas prom ptly arrested and carried to New York City where hewasjailed .

It was the intention to send Moor to England for trial, b utthe sym path ies of m any of the citizens were with him and he

m anaged to escape from prison. He fled to Boston where the

Reverend Mr. Talbot on returning from England found himto his astonishm ent. Against the advice of Talbot and oth er

friends, Moor sailed for England in Novem ber, 1 70 7. The vessel

on wh ich he was a passenger wasnever again heard of, and m ust

h ave sunk at sea.

Moor left a will, dated in Novem ber, 1 70 7, which was provedin October, 1 709 , in New Jersey . His property in New Jerseyconsisted only of his library , which he left to the m inister of theChurch of England at Burlington. His will does not m ention

a wife or any children and it is not probable that he was ever

m arried .

THE NAM E O F M O O RE

The m eaning of the nam e differs according to the lingual

origin, and it is often impossible to tell from the present spellingwhat the first form and m eaning m ay h ave been. Scholars differasto their interpretation of theOld form s. Thefollowing sum m aryof the different form sof the nam e and their m eanings is believedto b e based on the best authorities.

MAR , meaning seagull, isafrequentname in OldNorse.

MOR , meaning tall, mighty, proud, and hence a great chief, is theGaelicform.

MOHR, meaning a Moor orNegro, is the modern Germanfor theold GermanformsMaur, Mauri, Mor, Moro, Mora, and

Moor.MOOR, meaning aMoor orNegro isDutch .

MORE , Moresque, Moricaud, Morean, Maure, Mauresque, and

Mauricand, areFrenchformsbased on therootMoremeaninga Moor or Negro and later merely black, dark-skinned or

swarthy. The German, Dutch and French origin of the

name in thatof theMoorish peopleeven appears attimes in

England asinj ohn leMoor. There isalsofamiliar thenameBlackmorefrom black-as-a-moor orblackamore.

MOOR and MOORE in English and MUIR in Scottish usually are

names in thenaturegroup and mean a moor, a tractof wasteland. They may be compared to such names as Downe,Downes, Downs, Heath , Blackheath , W iese (a meadow) ,Meadow, Mead, Ashmead, Bogg, Marsh and Mash . It

should not be overlooked that occasionally the name underdiscussion originates in the word “

more, the adjective and

adverb .

In the course of thisstudy of theAm erican fam iliesofMoorethenam eh asb een found inm any spellings, heregiven: Mare, Mawer,Meor, Moar, Moare, Moer, Moere, Moers, Mohr, Mooar, Mooare,

Mooer, Mooere, Mooers, Moor, Moore, Moores, Mooris, Moors, Moos,Mor, More, Moree, Moir and Mores. The following spellings

Maury, Maurie, Morr, Morre, Morres, Morie, Morey, Morrey, Mors,

Morse, Mory,Mouer, Mour,Mover, Mow,Mowear, Mower and Mowre,

also aresom etim esused in the recordsforMoore, although theseareproperly different fam ily nam es.

Aswas explained in thiswork, a study was m ade of all the

emigrantsto thiscountry in every Colony whowereof thenam eof

Moore in any of its form s, and it appears th at over three h undredseparateMooresh ad to b e considered , m any of them the headsof

largefam ilies, in fact thisestim ateof their num ber relatesto theheadsof fam iliesonly . Thefirstnational censusof theUnited Stateswas

m ade in 1 790 and it isof interest to observe the great increaseof thenam e. This increase is partly explained b y the great num b er ofScotch-Irish arriving after 1 730 , and settling largely in Pennsylvania,North Carolina, New Ham pshire and Virginia.

Unfortunately , when the British burned the national Capitolin W ashington during theW ar of 1 81 2 the censusreturnsforDelaware, Georgia, Kentucky , NewJersey ,
