A WORD TO THE OTHER DESCENDANTS

This book records what has been collated relating to Sam-
uel Moor, Mariner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1696, and
to all of his descendants. He had but two children of whom we
have any knowledge, John and Samuel. The latter died with-
out issue and this work has to do with the offspring of John,
who in 1727, as a citizen of Durham, N. H., was a Grantee of
the new town of Canterbury, N. H., and one of its first settlers.

The posterity of John have been pursued into nearly every
state of the Union and even across the sea. That some have
eluded discovery should not be laid to a lack of diligence on
the part of the compiler. The absence of vital statistics in
many towns in New Hampshire and other states, the compara-
tively few people of good memories now living, the indifference
of many descendants of the present generation and, finally, the
reaching of that unprofitable situation where a ton of straw is
threshed over again for a grain of wheat; all have contributed
to the final closing of the search and laying before the descend-
ants the result.

It is probable, however, that of those descended from John
Moor fully 95% who have lived and died or are still living are
herein recorded.

A labor of love is careless of time. It is fifteen years
since the work was actively begun. As the vizualization and
reconstruction of the lives of our ancestors proceeded, a feeling
of responsibility gripped me. The wealth of material should
be placed, at whatever personal financial cost, in the hands of
the living offspring of John and Hannah Moor. The large
aggregate preparatory expense has been cheerfully borne and
the price of the book has been fixed at about half the ascertained
cost of printing and binding alone.

Chapter I.

ENGLAND
THE MOORE FAMILY AND ARMS

In 1712 an authenticated pedigree was drawn up by John
Philpot, Somerset Herald. He commenced with Thomas De la
More, Esq., who first held the Manor of "More Place," whence
the name Avas somewhat variously written "De More," "De la
More" and "Atte More" until the general relinquishment of
such prepositions during the reign of Henry VI.

The progenitor of the ancient and noble family of Moore
came from Normandy shortly after the Conquest in 1066 and
acquired a very considerable estate in Kent called the Manor of
Moore Court, where the family resided until the removal of the
representative branch of the family to Moore Place in Benenden
(Kent).

It is believed that the origin of the name "Moore" was
owing to the estate being located on a "moor" or boggy heath.

Thomas De la More was living during the reign of Henry
II, as evidenced by a deed in which his grandson is styled
"John, the son of Henry, son of Thomas De la More, and bear-
ing date at Moore Place on St. Vincent's day, 1280, in the
ninth year of the reign of Edward I. Thomas De More left
issue, Henry de More, who had four sons, the eldest of whom,
John de More, died in the reign of Edward II, leaving issue
by wife Matilda two sons, Thomas and Henry. Thomas and
Joan his wdfe had John More or Moore, who flourished during
the reign of Richard III and left issue, Thomas and John.

Thomas de More, the successor, married Catherine, heiress
of the Benendens of Benenden, when the family removed to
Benenden and built an estate subsequently known as Moore
Place. Thomas de More was succeeded by William Moore, of
Moore Place, who by marriage with Margaret, daughter of John
Brenchley, secured the inheritance of Bettenham and the Moat
Islands in Kent.

Walter Moore, the son of William of Benenden, died 1504
and left issue, Thomas and WiUiam. The former, who next

14 The Descendants of

represented the family, had three sons, John, Edward and
Thomas. John Moore, his successor, who was of Pluckney, Kent,
left issue according to the older records, six sons and one daugh-
ter, by his wife Margaret, daughter and heiress of John Brent,
Esq., of Charing, Kent. Sir Edward, one of these sons, was
ancestor to the Marquis of Drogheda, and another, Sir Thomas,
was ancestor to the Earl of Charleville, now extinct titles.

Sir Edward, heir to his cousin, Nicholas Moore (1556), has
the distinction of being with his brothers the first of the Moore
line to settle in Ireland. Sir Edward so distinguished himself
there in the time of the rebellion that Queen Elizabeth pre-
sented him with the Abbey of Mellefont (County Lowth) and
in 1579 he was knighted at the historic camp between Limerick
and Kilmallock. About 1599 he commanded during the con-
flicts against Tyrone,*

ARMS

Thirty-nine different coats of arms are registered by those
bearing the name of Moore. They show little or no relation to
one another. It would be quite futile to copy even the descrip-
tion of them, especially those granted since the appearance of
our first known ancestor in America, Samuel Moore, the mariner,
in Portsmouth in 1696.

Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, the 11th and present living
Baronet, residing at Ross Carbury, County Cork, bears arms
described as follows:

Argent, two bars sable between nine martlets, gules.
Crest, an heraldic tiger's head couped, argent, pierced
through with a broken spear, proper. The motto "Fortis
cadere, cedere non potest" (The brave man may fall but
cannot yield) is the only resemblance to the arms of the
Earl of Drogheda and his descendants at Moore Abbey
(County Kildare-Ireland) London, Malvern (Victoria- Aus-
tralia) Gorey (County Wexford) and Dublin.

The Lord Mayor of London in 1682 bore arms: "Ermine
three greyhounds courant; Sable, and for augmentation on a

Ensign John Moor 15

canton gules a lion of England." Sir John Moore, Bishop of
Norwich, 1697, bore arms: "Ermine on a chevron three cinque-
foils." Nicholas Moore of the Inner Temple, London, was
granted on April 28, 1569, arms: "A moorcock proper, argent.
Crest, on a mount vert, a moor-cock, ppr." In 1635, Alexander
Moore of Grantham, Lincolnshire, was granted arms: "Gules,
on a chief indented, argent, three mullet sable. Crest, a lion
pass, reguard, gu. ducally gorged and chained, argent."

Those who desire to pursue the subject may easily find at
least 34 other coats of arms of record. To others it should be
sufficient to state that there is no "Moore coat of arms"
having ancient, persistent and consistent characteristics, or one
of a period and antiquity which would justify an American
Moore of English ancestry in looking on it as probably that
borne by generations of his forebears.

When exhaustive study or a lucky chance discloses the con-
nection between humble Samuel Moor of Portsmouth and his
immediate English ancestry a sufficient incentive will exist for
ascertaining which of the several noble families of Moore in
English history we may claim as our own.

Chapter II.

ORIGIN OF SAMUEL MOOR, MARINER

The search for the origin of Samuel Moor, a mariner who
appeared in Portsmouth for the first time in 1696, has been
fruitless except that the exhaustion of the material in this
country naturally directs us elsewhere. It is the hope of the
writer that eventually the Parish Registers of all England,
if necessary, particularly those of Devonshire and Kent, will
be examined for the disclosure of the birth of our ancestors,
their marriages and places of habitation.

A vague tradition that John Moor of Canterbury was
born on the Island of Jersey in the English Channel was re-
sponsible for the commission given by the writer to an emin-
ent genealogist there. The vital statistics (all in French) of
every Parish in Jersey were gone over. The gleanings were
few and of little interest.

Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary (recounting the
principal names in New England previous to 1700) gives no
less than 14 bearing the name John Moor and 4 that of Samuel
Moor. The expense of visiting, not once but several times,
and the enormous labor of examining the material at the legal
depositories of record in Boston, East Cambridge, Salem, Ports-
mouth, Exeter, Dover and Concord have yielded negative re-
sults. Discarding at the outset the question of spelling (for
it was early found that little or no significance attached to
the way the name was written, whether More, Moor or Moore,
although the latter mode has gradually become uniform) and
looking only for those individuals who could have been Samuel,
the mariner, or his sons, John and Samuel, the writer has re-
served the following for brief notice :

■William Moore of Ipswich who died 1671 (will, 1660, at
Salem) had "William, Thomas, Mary (who married Powell)
Ruth ("Robye") and Elizabeth. William removed to Exeter,
N. H. and had (will, 1747) William, Thomas and Mary (Coker)
and from this line came the Moores of Stratham, N. H., and
Parsonsfield, Me. William was prominent in the local govern-

Ensign John Moor 17

ment of the Exeter-Hampton-Portsmouth settlements and is
of record attending court, at Portsmouth, the seat of Provincial
Government for many years, when Samuel Moor was there
but there are no indications pointing to family connection,

Richard Moore of Salem, Mass. In 1903 his gravestone
in the Charter St. ground was found to be the only one in
existence of a Mayflower passenger. There is none at
Plymouth. He was born in 1614 (parish register of Shipton,
Shropshire, Eng.) and was mentioned in the account of Gov-
ernor Bradford. He removed to Salem in 1637 and died in
1696 leaving, so far as recorded, Caleb who died 1644, un-
married, Richard, Jr., living 1691 with "6 or more children"
of whom Samuel died 1679 at 9 days (stone near his grand-
father's) "a child" born 1674, Thomas 1679, Christian 1681
and Sarah 1683. Richard, Sr. 's other children were girls,
Susannah, who married Samuel Dutch and Christian who mar-
ried Joshua Conant. The wife of Richard, Jr., was Sarah
and he was a mariner but it will be seen that he could not
have had a Samuel old enough to have been the father of
John of Canterbury, born 1696. This seems to dispose effectu-
ally of any chance that the latter was of Mayflower ancestry.

Another Salem family was that of Thomas Moore. In
1636 the records state that "Thomas Moore sonne to Widoe
Moore and his wife are received for inhabitants and may have
one fishing lot on the neck," and the same year "Thom Moore,
Thom Moore's widow, John Moore and Samuel Moore" were
in a long list of persons granted lands at Jeffrey Creek, noAv
Manchester. Samuel Moore, juryman in 1637, was probably
the latter and the same that in 1637 "had a family of 7 per-
sons" of whom we can find only Samuel and Remember, bap-
tised in 1636 and 1639, We cannot trace Samuel, the son. He
would in any event be too old to be Samuel the mariner of
Portsmouth but he might have had a son the father of the
latter. If so, the chances of discovering the fact are exceed-
ingly remote. Thomas, son to Widow Moore removed in 1636
to Southold, L. I. (Prof. Moore in "Rev. John Moore of New-
town") and had 4 sons of whom Thomas, born 1639 had, bap-
tised 1676 a Samuel of whom no further account is given but
who is not likely to have been the father of John of Canter-

18 The Descendants of

bury, born 1696, Richard of the Mayflower coming to Salem
the year after the Widow Moore and her family appear may
have been related to them, the name Thomas being common
to both families, but the Shipton records show that they were
not nearer than cousins if related at all. The registers of the
Parish of More in Shropshire with those of Shipton contain a
great many of the family but the lines are difficult to trace
and require a careful comparison of land and probate records.

Richard Moore of Lynn, Mass., married 1662, had wife
Elizabeth (Elizabeth Wild, of Ipswich) and a son, Samuel born
]688 (who had children) too late to have been father of John
of Canterbury.

Professor James W. Moore (died 1909) of Easton, Pa., in
his admirable work, published 1903, "The Rev. John Moore
of Newtown, L. I." wrote (1904) "I collected all the Johns
from every source and then threw out those who could not
have been the Rev. John" who, it appears, was at Lynn, 1641,
Salem, 1643, Cambridge, 1646, and settled at Newtown, Long
Island, New York, in 1647, Prof. Moore has the following on
the name: "The family of Moore is wide-spread. The Eng-
lish families are said to have their origin in Thomas de More
on the list at the embarkation at Saint Valery under William
the Conqueror in 1066. He held a command at the battle of
Hastings, fought October 14th, and survived. In the Dooms-
day Book, 1086, several places called More are mentioned.
After 1554 many went to Ireland. John Moor was a sailor of
Henry Hudson in 1609," The Rev. John's family is believed
to have been of Kent County, Eng. His posterity are mostly
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Samuel Moore, a merchant of New York City (will 1675)
had a son Samuel who married Sarah Smith in 1705 and
consequently could not have been Samuel of Portsmouth.

In 1660 quite a colony went from Newbury, Mass., at the
invitation of Gov. Carteret of New Jersey and founded Yv^ood-
bridge, N, J. Among those persons Avas Samuel Moore who
married at Newbury, Mary, daughter of William Illsley, in
1656. Samuel died 1688 leaving a son Samuel, born 1670 who
in 1693 was a Marshal of the court there and otherwise prom-
inent and is not likely to have left Woodbridge.

Ensign John Moor 19

There was at Newbury, Mass. (Salem probate records),
Lieutenant Jonathan Moore who died 1692, whose father was
Edmund Moore who died about 1704, surviving his son. Jon-
athan left a Samuel, not of age in 1692 and not of interest
to us as he was, it seems from another source, born in 1688.

Ann Hibbins, who was executed June, 1656, in T3osTon for
witchcraft, in her will gave her eldest son John Moore (who
was with his mother before she died) "a double portion of
my whole estate." The only other sons named were Joseph
and Jonathan.

John Moore, a Brewer, of Boston, died 1693 and was
buried in King's Chapel yard. His wife "Lydia Kingsman
formerly the wife of John Moore" who died 1709 was also
buried there. They had, (baptised in the First church) Sarah,
Hannah, John, Thomas, Sarah, Catherine, Rachel and Abigail.
One of the tombs (No. 23 on the outside of the entrance and
at the left, not now to be seen) of King's Chapel was that of
William Moore. Nothing further is given in "King's Chapel
Epitaphs. ' '

October 17th, 1715 Samuel Moor made his will in 'Boston,
giving his "money and plate to the old meeting house and
the South meeting house equally" and "all my goods and
movables to the poor widows of the town of Boston" and
"to my brother-in-law John Burnett of Windham in Con-
octocut the sum of 5 pounds current money of New England. ' '
An examination of the signature to this will (Suffolk Probate)
and a comparison with that of Samuel of Portsmouth (Court
paper, Sec'y. State's office, Concord) precluded the acceptance
of any theory of identity. The writings are dissimilar. Wind-
sor, Ct., records show that Samuel Moore, born 1669, was the
son of John of Simsbury but give nothing of his marriage.

The discovery of the family deed of 1722 disposing of the
Portsmouth home of Samuel Moor, mariner, our ancestor laid
at rest conjectures that John Moor of Canterbury was of the
Scotch-Irish Moor family of Londonderry, N. H. That entire
colony came from the North of Ireland in 1717 and named
their new home after that which had been their refuge for
some years after their emigration from Scotland. Among
them were John (born 1692), Samuel and James, a John (born

20 The Descendants of

1683) and William (born 1680). The gravestones of John
and of his wife and that of "William may still be seen in the
cemetery at East Derry, N. H. Among the descendants of
this family who fought for the independence of the Colonies
was John Moor who was at Bunker Hill and in later campaigns
and became successively Ensign, Lieutenant and Captain. An-
other of the same name served early in the war. He also was
of the Scotch-Irish branch.

But a few and only the most interesting of the Moore
families of New England and New York of the period in
question have been reviewed and after passing over the large
Sudbury, Mass., family, being collated by John H. Moore.
Esq. of Concord, Mass., which does not offer much of
promise to the readers of this account, it remains to note the
confusing strains of Moores of the Isles of Shoals and of York
and Kittery in Maine. They were close geographically to our
Portsmouth ancestors but so far as can be ascertained had
no connection with them.

The first Moor in Portsmouth seems to have been Thomas
who Vt^as one of the Stewards sent by Mason into his planta-
tion in New Hampshire in 1636. There are no vital records of
that early period and nothing is knoAvn of him. In 1669 a
Thomas Moore (aged 43 years) made a deposition but he
Avould have been too young for the above Thomas as A\ell as
too young for the Thomas of Salem "sonne to Widoe Moore."
In the same year (1669) there was a Daniel Moore serving
on the Coroner's Jury in Portsmouth, also mentioned in 1660
in court cases. In "Old Kittery Families" Daniel Moore in
1669 was a blacksmith and sold and moved to Poi-tsmouth.
In 1696 he was summoned to court. In 1668 he sued Thomas
Brattle but was hardly in Portsmouth in 1693 for we have a
poll of the inhabitants and no Moore is mentioned. He must
have been born previous to 1640 but in any case is of little
interest to us.

Some mystery surrounds the Moores of the Isles of Shoals.
On a clear day these beautiful small islands, inhabited in the
earliest times by fishermen, can be seen from Portsmouth and
Newcastle on the horizon floating between sea and sky. There
were John Moor and his wife Margaret and John, Jr., and his

Ensign John Moor 21

wife Agnes. It is probable that there were children but no
records exist. John Moor seems to have been of a combative
disposition. In 1667 Matthew Millet sued him for 7 quintals
of fish (Jury for Dft.). In 1668 Peter Glanfield sued him for
saying he "was an old cheating rogue and that he had stolen
114 yards of cloth out of his, the same More's capoc(?) and
that he would prove it" (jury for plf. 2sh. damages, 41sh.
costs). 1668 John Moor sued one Gregory, an action for
slander for abusing his wife (jury for plf. 2sh. damages, 36sh.
costs). In 1668 John Moor of the Isles of Shoals was bound
over in 5 pounds for the next court for selling liquor without
warrant "fishing waying being over" from which it seems
that during the weighing season it was allowable. He did not
appear in court in Portsmouth as ordered. In 1669 he was
arrested for selling wine, beer or cider without license ; not
proven he was discharged. In the same year he sued John
Banfield for "staying at his mooring whereby he is much dam-
nified" (injured) ; Jury for Plf. 55 sh. damages (evidently
a more serious matter than slander) 1 pound 16 sh. costs. In
1669 he was fined 20 shillings "for striking Edward Beals,
the which he owned in coiu't and to pay it to Beals." In
1668-9 John Moor, Sr., of Star Island bought land on Spruce
Creek, Kittery, thus seeming to leave the vShoals for the main-
land but in 1672 he took the oath as Constable for the Shoals
for the ensuing year and in 1673 he drew as pay and fees,
4 pounds, 4 shillings. In 1677 Agnes was granted adminis-
tration of the estate of her late husband, John Moore, Jr.,
and made oath that there were 50 acres of land, a house, a
stage (fish drying rack) and a mooring place in Spruce Creek,
Kittery. In 1681 John Moor gave a bond, property on Star
Island, and sold out there. In 1687 his wife, Margaret, was
a widow.

There is no known connection between the above and Wil-
liam More, of York, Me., who in 1691 in his will mentions
^\ite, Dorothy (who was a Dixon), sons John, Robert, William
and Thomas, to the latter of whom he gives "the house if he
is dutiful to his mother." There was no Samuel but there
was Robert and Eleanor and, it seems, though not in the will
and very likely posthumus, Dorothy, names not found perpetu-
ated by John Moor of Canterbury.

22 The Descendants of

Strange to say there was born July 9, 1696, in Kittery,
John Moor, first child of Capt. John More and Sarah Cutts
(Cutts Genealogy) which, it will be seen, was in the same year,
only 3 months later than and probably close by where John
Moore of Canterbury saw the light. John of Kittery, born
1696, married Elizabeth Fernald in 1721 and had (in which it
would appear the Cutts Genealogy is in error, being 22 years
after marriage) Dennis 1743, Mary, 1746, John, 1748 and
Ebeneezer, 1750. Capt. John was probably the son of John
More of York who had also a son Samuel, who could not sign
his name and was therefore not Samuel of Portsmouth, mar-
iner, whose petition of 1697 shows that he was an educated
man, for the times, and wrote an excellent hand. John Moore
of York, the father of Captain John and Samuel in will (1713)
signed by his mark, had wife, Martha (daughter of Jeremiah
Walford who died 1660) and daughter "Marcy" and three
other daughters not named. The names of the other sons
of Capt. John More of York, Eobert, Jonadab, Edward and
Ebeneezer, do not point to a connection with Samuel, mariner
of Portsmouth. The Moores of York and Kittery must there-
fore be dismissed from further consideration.

In Portsmouth in March, 1693-4 over 300 persons, prob-
ably most of the adults in town, were assigned seats in the
meeting house. There is no Moore in the list and there was
none in a similar list in Newcastle (then as large as Ports-
mouth, or ''The Bank") in 1692-3. This would indicate that
Samuel Moor, mariner, came to Portsmouth between March,
1693-4 and December 2, 1696 when he was first found, called
to serve on the jury. On the tax rate for 1672, the Poor rate
for 1691 and the Strawberry Bank rate of 1690 no Moore ap-
pears in Portsmouth,

The ancestry of Thomas Moore of Boston "carver" is
not clear but he was not son of William More of York. That
Thomas had wife Hannah and in 1711 sold Harker's Island
and is described as "laborer or yeoman." Thomas of Boston,
however, had wife Abigail (daughter of John Banfield of
Portsmouth, married to Thomas Moore, 1715-Pierce). One
of them was doubtless the Thomas who was "rated" to the
new meeting house in 1717 in Portsmouth. In 1722 the town

Ensign John Moor 23

of Barrington was granted to all the tax payers of Portsmouth
among whom was John Moor, afterward of Canterbury, and
his mother, Mary. The List contains the name of Thomas
Moore. There was also a Peter Moore who later settled in
Barrington and left a son John who had (will 1781) a son,
Peter. They were from Eochelle, France, their name being
sometimes spelled Moe or Mo. In 1728, Thomas Moore of
Boston, carver, sold his Barrington land and in 1736, Samuel
his son, also "carver" by occupation, sold land in Portsmouth.
In 1730, Sarah More of Boston in presence of Thomas and
Samuel More sold land in Portsmouth, she being one of the
grandchildren of Edward Beal, late of Newcastle, fisherman.
In 1754 Sarah was Sarah Muddle of Ramsgate, Kent, England,
as appears by her deed disposing of her interest in Portsmouth
property.

Making conjectures based on the settled customs of that
date as to the naming of offspring for the parents of those
having them we should look for the ancestors of John Moor
of Canterbury in Moore families containing the names of Sam-
uel, John and William, rather than those of Richard, Thomas,
James, Robert or Daniel. It appears, however, that John and
Hannah Moor did not name their children according to the
prevailing practice; the first born son after the father's father,
for instead of Samuel they named him William (and perhaps
this is a clue to ancestry in the Exeter, Newbury and Ipswich
lines of Moores) and instead of naming their first born daugh-
ter after the mother's mother they named her Elizabeth and
not Ann. Likewise instead of naming the second son after
the mother's father, John, they called him Samuel,

One hope remains that in the court records now filed in
the office of the Secretary of State at Concord by titles of
cases only, the indexing will be carried out to include every
name, thereby disclosing something more about Samuel Moor,
father of John of Canterbury, which may help us to his an-
cestry.

FAMILY TRADITIONS

A few fragments remain, none of them existing in written
form previous to 1880. They may furnish an incentive to
further research but are, in the light of the great mass of
ascertained facts now available, except in one or two instances,
probably more misleading than helpful.

Horatio Nelson Moore, writing from Seattle in 1880, said
"John Moore came from Ireland" and "was a tanner by
trade." About this time (1881) John Haines of Waltham,
Mass., secured and copied the notes of Col. Matthias Moore,
which have since disappeared, and wrote down that "John
Moore was born on the Isles of Jersey in the English Chan-
nel, April 9, 1696, came to New England prior to 1722" and
"He was a tanner by trade." Dwight Moore of Closter,
N. J., recollects that his father, Col. Matthias Moore, always
said that his first Moore ancestor was born in Newburyport
in 1696, the family coming from Devonshire, Eng. Merrill
Moore, brother to Col. Matthias Moore, wrote in his Bible,
"John Moore, born in England, April 9, 1696." One of these
latter traditions is quite possibly correct and the writer would
look in England, first in Devonshire and next in Kent. John.
B. Moore of Gilmanton and Belmont wrote the compiler in
1903 that "John Moore was Scotch-Irish and was born on the
Island of Jersey" a highly unlikely combination of circum-
stances.

It is almost safe to say that John Moor was not born on
the Island of Jersey, (although it is probable that his wife's
people, the Sias family, may have been there at one time after
their flight from France) also that he was not of the well
known Scotch-Irish settlers of Londonderry, N. H., in 1718
and that he was anything but a tanner by trade.

It is noticeable that all but one of the traditions (and that
one — John B. Moore's — was probably derived from Col. Mat-
thias Moore) remain in fragmentary and more or less conflict-
ing forms in the Ezekial Moore line alone.

SAMUEL MOOR, MARINER, IN PORTSMOUTH

For many years there reposed in the attic of the Court
House for Rockingham County at Exeter, N. H., a mass of legal
papers and documents which had been transferred at some
remote period from Portsmouth, the seat of the Provincial Gov-
ernment. A few yeai*s since when the Legislature ordered that
all County records previous to 1771 (represented in land titles
by the first 100 volumes of deeds) be removed to Concord and
placed in the custody of the Secretary of State, the ancient tapes
were loosened and the folded yeUow papers of all shapes and
sizes were smoothed out, placed in folders and the principal
titles indexed. This process revealed several matters of great
import to those interested in this work.

On December 2, 1696, ' ' a list of Jurymen for the Court of
Common Pleas" gives "Sam^ More" as the twelfth man. The
record is on a mere scrap of yellow paper of irregular shape.
Old as it is it will outlast the paper of which this book is made.
Paper was scarce in those days and none was wasted. It was,
however, of the highest quality, hand made, of linen rags, and
royal water-marked.

When called, as above, for jury duty Samuel Moor had a
wife and a young child. John Moor was bom April 16th,, 1696,
according to the record in the first book of Canterbury, N. H.,
written in the handwriting of his son, Archelaus Moore, for
many years Town Clerk there. The recording of vital statistics
in the town of Portsmouth was poorly observed at this period
and it is highly probable that John Moor was born in Ports-
mouth even though no entry of the fact is extant.

The next we hear of Samuel Moor is by means of another
scrap of yellowed paper also reposing in the archives at Con-
cord. With a quill pen and ink that has turned a dark brown
but is unfaded, Samuel Moor addressed his judges as follows:

SAMUEL MOOR

A photographic copy was made in 1907 of this paper con-
taining the only known signature of Samuel Moor.

Contemporary events of this period have an interest for
the Moore family. In 1693 Newcastle was made a town. In
1694 Oyster River (Durham) was destroyed by the Indians, 20
houses being burned and nearly 100 persons either killed or
captured. In June, 1696, only two months after little John
Moor was bom, the Indians made an assault on five houses on
Portsmouth Plains on the edge of the town, killing 14 persons
and capturing 4 prisoners. The French and Indian war was
still going on. It was in the reign of William III with Lt. Gov-
ernor John Usher as His Majesty's representative in the colony.
His seat was at Great Island, Newcastle, a mile from Samuel
Moor's house. For many years a considerable coasting trade
in sloops, brigantines and "fly-boats" of 20 tons and upward,
owned in London, Boston, Kittery, Portsmouth and even Exeter,
brought to the inhabitants, largely from Barbadoes, molasses,
rum, sugar and salt. The magnificent forests of the province
were hewed down and the best timber carried to Europe.

In the early part of the year 1698-9 Richard Jose (Sheriff
of New Hampshire, died 1707, "after long sickness of gout,")

Ensign John Moor 27

sold to Samuel Moor of Portsmouth, mariner, for "a valuable
sum of money" a house lot in Portsmouth, on the South side of
Capt. Pickering's Mill Pond, near the Meeting house, and 25
feet distant from Aaron Moses' house lot which he bought from
said Jose, fronting upon the highway which runs down to the
meeting house and running 90 feet back toward the mill pond,
it being 70 feet wide and otherwise bounded by Jose's own
land ''which lot shall be forever fenced by said More." From
this we learn that Samuel Moor was a sea-faring man. His son,
John, was nearly 2 years old. Richard Jose had sold to Aaron
Moses "a small tract" in Feb. 1692-3, it being 35 feet wide and
adjoining one Jose sold to Thomas Beck. It is probable that
at the time of sale there was no house on either lot.

October 22, 1700, a disturbance occurred "at the hous of
Samll. Moors." The following is a verbatim copy of the paper
in the archives at Concord:

Province of To the Constables of Portsmo or either

NcAvhampshr of them.

For as much as Complaint was made unto mee the
Subscriber one of his Majts Justices of ye Peace, for y^
Provinc aforesaid by Elisha Briard, Constable of Said
town that Severall misdeanours were committed Last Sat-
urday night att the hous of SamU Moors, by drinking,
Sw^earing, and quarrelling; and whereas John Monson was
then apprehended as a disorderly and dissolute person; he
the Said Monson the Moonday following, gave in upon oath,
that Mary the wife of Said Moor did at the time aforesaid
did entertain and sell him flip for which he gave her six
pence per pot. Notwithstanding she had no license so to
doe which is contrary to Law.

These are therefore in his Majsts^ Name, strictly to

No record is preserved of the outcome of the case. While
it requires a brave chronicler to include such a document in a
genealogy at the present day, large allowances must be made
for the times. A Warrant is usually drawn up stronger than
it will hold and too much stress may easily be laid on the epi-
sode. It appears that John Monson, upon whom the stern
minions of the law descended, was of Kittery. He and his wife
Lydia received in 1701 32 acres of land at Ox Point, Spruce
Creek, from his father Richard Monson of Portsmouth, who
was son of Robert Monson of the Isles of Shoals, a fisherman,
who died in 1677.

In 1702 Queen Anne began to reign and Joseph Dudley
was appointed Governor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The peace which began in 1698 lasted only until 1703 and under
the instigation of the French the Indians again became active,
in August, killing 5 people in Hampton village. A line of pick-
ets was established on the West side of the town of Portsmouth
from the mill pond on the South to the creek on the North.
This left the domicile of Samuel Moor, about to be described,
rather exposed.

On January 3, 1703-4, Elizabeth Savage, Widow, of Ports-
mouth for the sum of 40 pounds paid by Samuel Moor, mariner,
of said town, sold "my now dwelling house and land near the
meeting house on the North West side of the country road, ad-
joining to one Thomas Beck's land and from his bounds 35
feet along the country road being the land and house formerly
sold unto me by Aaron Moses, deed of November 1702-3." It
would thus appear that the dwelling was erected between 1692-3,
when Moses bought the lot for 3 pounds, and 1702-3, when he
sold to Elizabeth Savage. She was a daughter of Thomas Wal-
ford, an early settler of Portsmouth, and died in 1708. No
sooner was the house purchased in January than the next
month, Feb. 7, 1703-4, Samll. Moor was recommended by the
Selectmen of Portsmouth for a license, as follows:

The following year the license was given to "Mrs. Mary
More^' and in March, 1706, her license was renewed. The last
license recorded was that of March 3, 1706-7, when William
Vaughan, Samuel Penhallow, John Dennett, Tobias Langdon
and Matthias Haines, names made famous in the annals of
Portsmouth, signed this document, "Wee ye Selectmen of ye
Town of Portsmo. recommend mrs mary moor a Suitable per-
son for Keeping a publick hous of Entertainm^^ for ye year
ensuing." The license being to Mary, the wife, after the first
year it maj^ be that Samuel Moor was following his vocation
as a mariner and was away most of the time.

In 1707 the Indians were active killing seven men at Oyster
River and an expedition of over 200 men went into the country-
to fight the red sldns. August 16, 1708, the ship Neptune was
fitted out as a privateer. In 1708 two vessels or shallops were
ordered to be impressed with men and oars and sent out as spy
vessels for the discovery of the enemy, to cruise along the shore

30 The Descendants of

till further orders. On Aug. 29, 1708, the "Speedwell" was
dismissed froDi such service. In 1709 and 1710 the frontiers
were in continual alarm. In the latter year the Port Royal ex-
pedition was successful, sailing from Boston, about 100 New
Hampshire men going with the provincial and English troops.
In 1711 a great fleet of English ships carrying an army went
ashore on Aug 23rd and 1500 men were wrecked, most of them
being lost, but no New Hampshire men were among the missing.
On Nov. 8, 1706, Samuel More witnessed a deed with John
Pierce and John Belcher, signed in Portsmouth by Thomas and
Mehitable Pierce. On Feb. 2I:th, 1708-9 this entry appears on
the church records, "Samuel More and Elizabeth Pierce owned
the covenant and Samuel the son of Samuel More and Elizabeth
the daughter of Elizabeth Pierce were baptised." In 1711 Sam-
uel and Mary Moor of Portsmouth sold to Richard Wibird,
Gentleman, land ni Portsmouth for the sum of 8 pounds. It
was Samuel's share of the "common" lands. In this year his
name is signed to an authorisation for the committee to act,
"Richard Wibird for Samuel More."

On May 12th, 1711, it was voted in the Provincial Assem-
bly ' ' That Saml. Moor be payd twelve shillings out of the Treas-
ury for the Cure of a Wound Reed in ye Province Service in
Sloop Speedwell." This is the last reference to Samuel Moor
and closes our knowledge of his career. On the tax lists in the
City Clerk's office in Portsmouth his name appears for 1713,
1714, 1715 and 1716 with the amount of his tax, but in 1717
and 1718 the amount is left blank.

When Samuel Moor, mariner, died cannot be told. He may
have been lost at sea, possibly missing for years, or his bones
may be long since crumbled to dust with those of others of the
early days of the port in the little cemetery known as "The
Point of Graves." But few inscriptions have been preserved
and indeed a great number of stones have disappeared, some
beneath the turf and some by the vandals of many generations
permitted to Avreck their wiU in this hallowed but, until recent
years, uncared for spot.

One hundred and forty-six deeds were examined and sub-
jected to minute comparison and study to locate the exact spot
of the Moor property in Portsmouth. The difficulties of the

Ensign John Moor 31

subject proved to be out of all proportion to its importance.
It is almost incredible that so many changes in titles could occur
in the space of a few hundred feet, even in 200 years. It is
perhaps sufficient to knoAV that the house probably disappeared
many years ago and that the best estimate of the writer is that
it was located about where the new dwelling of Henry Wendell
has been erected at No. 20 South Street, or possibly one or two
houses easterly of it.

Despite the description in the 1698 deed, Jose to Moor (for
a lot 70 X 90) and the subsequent deed of 1703, Savage to Moor
(for a lot 35 feet wide) indicating 105 feet of frontage, it would
seem that the land owned by Samuel Moor, mariner, at his
death was only 70 x 90 feet. The following family conveyance
is a good example of what extraordinary genealogical value a
deed may have :

Samuel Moor, son of Samuel Moor, mariner, and brother

1725-6, when he sold it to Henry Beck, cordwainer, for 75
pounds "the same dwelling and land Samuel Moore's father,

sold Sept., 1756 for 600 pounds "old tenor" to Robert Lang

Moore, Esq. late of Portsmouth, deceased, by deed of Oct. 16,
1725." Abigail, administratrix of Robert, sold for 212 pounds,
new tenor, March, 1758, to Jonathan Ayres, description being
the same. Ayres, owning most of the land in the vicinity, could
divide up the property to suit himself but he does not seem to
have sold it. His unmarried daughter, Sarah, bought out the
other heirs in May, 1805, for $316, but deed was not recorded
until 1825, when she sold the lot 70 by 110 feet to William
Russell, fronting on the South road, bounded on the Westerly
by a 20 ft. street and Easterly by a 14 ft. lane. In 1854 Wil-
liam Russell's Administrator sold for $775 to John Gardner land
bounded S. E. by South St., S. W. by land of A. A. Peterson,
N. W. by land of Jeremiah Johnson and N. E. by land of H. F.
Wendell. The next year Gardner sold to Wendell for $450 "a
portion of Wm. Russell's real estate bought by me in 1854"
description being "with 2 story dwelling house with other
buildings thereon. North side of South St., beginning S. W.
corner of lot of said Wendell, then S. W. on South St. 34 ft.
8 in. to 5 in. East of a corner board of a dwelling house on ad-
joining lot, then Northerly on said lot 5 inches from dwelling
49 ft. 10 in. to the end of said house, then East on a line with
the North end of house 1 ft. 7 in., then North as the fence now
stands to the barn then through barn 57^/2 feet more or less to
land of A. A. Peterson, then Easterly to Petersons land and
land of Jeremiah Johnson 32 ft. 4 in. more or less to H. F.
Wendell's lot, then South 104 ft. more or less to beginning."
William Russell had o^^^led since 1817 the "Fishley" property,
bought of Hill, and the foregoing is probably that property.
Benjamin Atwell bought it in 1892, "lot of John Gardner of
1855," and it is that now known as No. 16 South St., the house
which Mr. Atwell says bears internally the marks of having
been raised from one to two stories. Mr. Atwell also owns the
property at the corner of the Court, No. 14, and he lives in the
house in the rear.

The dwelling of which the comer board is so particularly
located was probably on a narrow lot, 18 or 20 feet wide, which
had a dwelling in the rear in 1825 (the Oxford property) and
probably one in front. At this location. No. 18 South St., the
modern house of Everett Trefethen has been built but the lot

Ensign John Moor 35

is now about 30 feet wide. The 70 x 90 foot Moor property-
was possibly Westerly of this where Henry Wendell's house
now is at No. 20. The necessity for keeping open the several
lanes and streets ceased with the destruction of the rope-walk
by fire in 1814. This building stretched for a long distance,
within 7 feet of the present fence, in the rear of the lots on
South street. It was used as a barracks during the war of 1812.

MARY, WIFE OF SAMUEL MOOR, MARINER

In the list of marriages kept by Joshua Pierce in Ports-
mouth, comprising about all we have of vital statistics of
this period, this entry occurs between marriages of October
14th and October 18th, the year being 1716, "Richard Elliott,
Sr., and Mary Moore, both of Portsmouth, were married."
The last reference to Samuel Moor, Mariner, living w^as in

1711, except the inclusion of his name in the tax lists for 1711,

1712, 1713, 1714, 1715 and 1716 with amounts and for 1716
and 1717 without amounts. The inference is that he died
previous to 1716 and that his widow married Richard Elliott,
Sr, There was no other Mary Moore in Portsmouth or vicinity
of an age to become married, so far as can be found.

Richard Elliott, Sr., in 1711 had common lands, signing
"Richard R E Ellet his mark." In 1706 he Avith wife Mary,
formerly wife of Thomas Drew of Portsmouth (showing he
had already been married to one widow) gave a deed, both
by "marks" which Avas attested in 1712 by Richard Elliott
alone, indicating probably that his wife had died in the in-
terval. The next record we have of him is his will, made July
5, 1718 "Richard Elliott of Portsmouth, yeoman, weak," to
wife (not named) all the swine and geese, a two year old
heifer, a young colt, the use of the lower East room and one-
third of the use of all lands, children named being, son Richard
(Executor), daughters Joanna Warren and Susan EUithorp,
6D pounds each. He apparently had a son William and a
daughter Mary to Avhom he left nothing in Avill.

In 1721-2 (recorded 1724) Mary Elliott deeded to son-
in-law (step-son) Richard her right in housing and lands left

36 The Descendants of

by her late husband Richard Elliott by his will, signed "Mary
Elliott M, her mark" in presence of Ephraim Dennett, Ben-
jamin Miller, Moses Dennett and JOHN MOOR and the at-
testation follows ' ' Mrs. Mary Elliott alias Leach appeared and
swore her free act and deed."

In the 1722 deed of the Moor homestead it was "in the
tenure and occupation of Mary Elliott the widow and relict
of said Samuel Moor. ' ' In the list of Grantees of the town of
Barrington as of 1722 the name "Mary Moore alls Leach"
appears with the allotment of 30 acres, and John Moor with
72 acres. Barrington was granted to all the inhabitants of
Portsmouth "that had paid rates" in said town for the four
years 1718-1721. Mary Mobre, widow, sold her Barrington
right to her son Samuel in the same year, 1722. To be Mary
Moore, Mary Elliott and Mary Moore alias Leach all in the
same year renders elucidation difficult. If her maiden name
was LeacH we have no assistance for we can find no Mary
Leach in Portsmouth and it is not likely she used her family
name in this connection. In the Congregational Church
records at Wenham, Mass., Mary Leach was admitted to full
communion April, 1694, a date which would permit her marry-
ing Samuel Moor, mariner in time to have a son John in 1696,
but we have no reason to suppose that this Mary did so.

A more reasonable view is that on the death of Elliott
she married a Leach, her two sons, John and Samuel, her only
known children, being married. The Leach family in Ports-
mouth was headed by James Leach, in town in 1656, a
"weaver" who owned Leach's Island near Little Harbor and
was a Tythingman in 1678. He married Jane, daughter of
Thomas and Agnes Turpin. In 1691 he gave the island to
John, his son. In 1697 his estate was inventoried. In 1699
John and James sell lands granted their father by the town
of Portsmouth. In the same year John Leach, son of James,
had a wife SaraK and a brother James. In 1724 John Leach
had wife Mary for they, without marks, deed certain property,
their residence being Newcastle, adjoining Portsmouth. In
1733 and 1734 John Leach, weaver, deeds to son. Junior, his
right in the town of Epsom and to Leach's Island in Ports-
mouth. In these and other deeds of the period no wife joins

Ensign John Moor 37

and probably John, "weaver" was a widower and if it was
lie who had wife Sarah in 1699, who married Mary Moor (El-
liott) after 1718, then Mary herself was probably dead, for
by that time she would have been long past middle age.

There is one other conjecture worthy of note. Mary, the
wife of Samuel Moor, Mariner, may have been the daughter of
John Partridge of Portsmouth. In his will, August, 1722, the
following are called "daughters," Hannah Almery, Mary El-
liott, Sarah Hunking, Joanna Roberts and Ruth Tarrett. On
September 8th they are given administration of his estate. He
had been prominent in Portsmouth, the son of "William Part-
ridge of Salisbury, Mass., who was "Freeman" 1639 and died
1654, leaving Widow Ann, who married Anthony Stanyan.
John Partridge had brothers Nehemiah and "William, the lat-
ter being Colonel and Lieut. Governor of the Province in 1697.
John Partridge is credited with children, by wife Mary Fern-
aid, whom he married in 1660 : Hannah 1661, John 1663, MARY
1665, Sarah 1668, Rachel 1671, Elizabeth 1674, Abigail 1675,
and Patience 1678. This is from an ancient record found in
1853 in the files of the N. H. Hist. Society. The will and list
partially coincide. Jolui, the son, died 1693 leaving widow
Abigail. Hannah married Robert Almery and had 3 children
baptised 1693. Mary would have been a trifle older, at 30
years, than the average bride of those days, if she was married
to Samuel Moor, mariner, and had no children previous to
John in 1696. Samuel, son of Samuel and Maiy Moor, in 1734
bought the Robert Almery homestead in Portsmouth of John
Robson, mariner. Almery was a mariner and traded with
Barbadoes, coming in one day with a shipload of small-pox.
Sarah Partridge married William Hunking in 1692. In 1723
Axwell Roberts was husband to Joanna Roberts and swore to
Inventory of John Partridge 's estate. In 1743 he was of Scar-
boro, Me. In 1726 a William Tarrett sold a Barrington right
"by virtue of my being an inhabitant of Portsmouth in 1722"
but as to his wife the records are silent.

In 1711 a Mary Elliott was received into communion (be-
came of age) but she was probably daughter of Richard El-
liott, Sr., and as she was "spinster" in a deed in 1748 was
probably not "daughter" of John Partridge of the will.

38 The Descendants of

Mary Fernald was born 1637, married John Partridge
1660 and died Aug. 16, 1722, only a few days before her hus-
band. She was daughter of Renald Fernald, the surgeon, in
Portsmouth 1631. He lived on Doctor's, now Pierce's Island,
died 1656 and was buried at the "Point of Graves." H^e was
Recorder and Commissioner in Portsmouth. His wife, Joanna,
died in 1660. They were among the very first settlers of Ports-
mouth.

In February 1706-7 Mary Moore witnessed with John Part-
ridge (her father?) a deed of John Pickering in Portsmouth.

The burial place of Mary, wife of Samuel Moor, is not
known. There are no grave stones standing in Portsmouth,
Newcastle or vicinity, of any of the following; Samuel Moor,
Mary Moor, Mary Elliott, Mary Leach, Mary Partridge, John
Leach or Richard Elliott, Sr. Owing to the meagre vital
records it will probably be impossible to determine with any
certainty the parentage of Mary, wife of Samuel Moor, mar-
iner.

Chaptee IV.

COLONEL SAMUEL MOORE OF PORTSMOUTH

Col. Samuel Moore was son of Samuel Moor, mariner, and
■wife Mary, and was the only brother of Ensign Jolui Moore
of Canterbury. His birth is not found recorded. He was
probably younger than John. He was baptised at the time
his father "received the covenant" in 1708. He married Mary
Pierce who was born Oct. 29, 1707. Her family was prominent
in Portsmouth and was wealthy. Samuel Moor became a
merchant in Portsmouth and a large ship-owner. For a short
time he resided in Boston as in the Robson deed of the Almery
homestead in 1734 he is described as ' ' Samuel Moore, mariner,
now residing in Boston." In 1736 he sued William Jenldns
for 5 pounds sterling for "nails to be paid in wood at Oyster
River," Durham. The original bill with signature attached
may be seen in the archives of the state at Concord (No.
21055). In 1735 he was one of 15 persons to call a Rector to
Saint John's Church. The venerable edifice now shown to
visitors was not the one in which he worshipped although it
dates back nearly to his time. His wife's people, the Pierces,
were Episcopalians. In 1734 in the Inferior Court, Mary, "Wife
of Samuel Moore, brought a negro woman to court for steal-
ing sugar. In 1738-9 Samuel and Mary released her right in
the Pierce Estate. In the same year Samuel Moore of Ports-
mouth, Merchant, bought for 1,250 pounds of Joshua Paul
of Kittery the "125 ton good ship 'Hull Merchant' now at
anchor in the Port of New Hampshire, William Allenson, mas-
ter." A few years before (1736) there began an interesting
case in the provincial courts. Samuel Moore was the three-
quarters o\\Tier of the Brigantine "Molly" of 100 tons burden,
Talue 1,800 pounds and of the same proportion of the cargo val-
ued at 400 pounds. He sued Captain Cutts, master of the ship
and one-quarter owner. It seems that a cargo of "boards, Joyce,

40 The Descendants of

red oke staves, shingles and train oyle" was to be taken to
Barbadoes, the ship then to go to Tortugas and get a return
cargo of Salt. For some reason Capt. Cutts returned to
Portsmouth without a cargo. Two of his crew deposed that
he failed in his duty, letting the crew get drunk and eat the
food supplies and asked them to say that a Spanish vessel
chased them to the leward of Tortugas. The case dragged
along until 1743 and seems to have gone against Samuel Moore
for John Hart and Sarah, his wife, (formerly Sarah Cutts,
widow) recovered costs of court.

Samuel Moore is best known because of his short but
brilliant military career. He was appointed, doubtless because
of the influence of his position and his wife's family, Colonel
of the New Hampshire regiment raised to lay siege to the
fortress of Louisburgh in Nova Scotia. In 1744 he is on the
roster as Colonel and Captain of the first company. There
were 350 men in 7 companies under his command. New Hamp-
shire raised in all 500 men, one-eighth of the land forces and
also sent an armed sloop with 30 men. The fortress capitulated
June 17th, 1745. On June 16th Samuel Moore wrote the fol-
lowing dispatch "Camp before Louisburgh; Sir: These are
the conditions of capitulation and I have hardly time to copy
them, from Sir your Excellencies Most Obedient Humble Servt,
Samuel Moore."

New Hampshire received from England as her share of
the reimbursement for the war over 16,000 pounds sterling.
A good share doubtless came to Col. Moore. He bought one-
fifteenth of the Masonian rights to the province, a disputed
and complicated claim to the lands of New Hampshire. It
profited the purchasers little.

He did not engage, it seems, in military operations again.
In 1744 he bought the mansion and lot of the Thomas Phipps
estate and presumably lived there. In the same year he sued
Nathaniel Lang of Portsmouth, Glazier, for "a jacknife, rum,
thread, clothes, chease, pork, corn and cash." Lang was
credited with "salt fish, 21 days work, one-half load of bal-
last for the 'Hull Merchant' and 24 days on the 'Rebecca,'
balance due Moore being 12 pounds.

Ensign John Moor 41

In 1748 peace was declared and Cape Breton was returned
to the French to the great mortification of the people of Ports-
mouth. Oct, 26, 1748 Samuel Moore was living in Portsmouth
and on that day attended a meeting of the Proprietors, a man
of prominence in the Province, a Justice, and wealthy in his
own right. In November of that year he sailed for London
and on the 30th of that month Daniel Pierce, in Portsmouth,
presented a Po"vv^r of Attorney to act for him, dated Nov. 11,
1748. Dissention had arisen in the Colonial Government and
after much wrangling the people petitioned for the removal
of Governor Wentworth.

Quite singularly an item in the Inventory of an estate, that
of Sarah Deming as Administratrix of John West, in 1753,
furnishes our only knowledge of what became of Col. Samuel
Moore. *'A long cloth coat Mr. West directed Collo. Samuel
Moore to buy for me in London, as appears by his letter dated
Nov. 8, 1748 but it did not come by reason that CoUo. Moore
died in London."

On the 7th of February, 1744, before he departed for
Louisburgh, Samuel Moore made his will. He was "in good
health" and left "all to Mary, my beloved wife, her heirs and
assigns forever" she to be sole Executor. It was executed in
the presence of Pierce Long, Hunking Wentworth and Wm.
Earl Treadwell. The will was proved May 30, 1749, Hunking
Wentworth and Mary Moore appearing ' ' Long being dead and
Treadwell now at sea."

Mary, the wife of Col. Samuel, died in 1753. Her name
is one of those inscribed on the famous silver waiter of Atkin-
son, Joshua Pierce was her Administrator. Among the items
of the lengthy inventory were "dwelling, 3,000 pounds, a pew

in the Church of England, 100 pounds, the goods in the shop,
appraised 2,756 pounds, a negro woman, 250 pounds. The
total was 8,035 pounds, a large estate for those days. Most
of it found its way to the Pierce family as Samuel and ]\Iary
Moore had no children. They are probably buried in a vault
or in the ground surrounding St. John's church but a list of
the interments is not to be had,

Chapter V,

THE SIAS FAMILY

Around the origin of the Sias family in America the charm
of romance clings. Although they came as plain hard-working
settlers more than two hundred years ago no tradition has sur-
vived in any branch of the family of their life beyond the
sea. It remained for a visit to disclose matters of interest.

In the year 1842 the Eev. John Seys spent several days
during the session of the Vermont (Methodist) Conference at
Newbury at the house of the Rev. Soloman Sias. Then a girl
of 15 years, Mrs. Amelia Sias Mathewson, late of Maiden,
Mass., relates that there was a discussion by the two men of
the similarity of their names. The Rev. John Seys had been,
in his travels, to France and had in Paris seen the large tomb
of the SIEYES family in Pere La Chaise cemetery. He had
looked up his ancestry and told at Newbury something of his
forefathers. There were three brothers who left their native
land on account of the persecutions which followed the Re-
vocation by Louis XIV in 1685 of the Edict of Nantes. The
edict had been issued by Henry IV in 1598 and granted full
political and civil rights to the Huguenots but during the
century following their position became more and more insecure
and dangerous. They were Protestants and have been called
"The Puritans of France" and were noted for their stern
virtues. A recent writer has written of the Revocation.

"The result of the King's madness Avas just such as
might have been expected, just such as he might easily
have foreseen had his judgment been equal to his fanatic-
ism. Harried to death by the royal edict the Huguenots
began the emigration which, before it was finished, de-
prived France of more than a million of her fairest people.
The persecuted Huguenots seeking the liberty which was
so dear to them fled to Holland, Germany, England, Swit-
zerland and the American Colonies, giving to those coun-
tries the benefit of their superior skill, intelligence and
moral worth.

44 The Descendants op

If Louis had deliberately willed to ruin his country-
he could not have gone about it in a better way. His
foolish decree drove away from his kingdom its finest
brain, its most robust energy, its most valuable handicraft,
its noblest men and women; and what France lost the
other countries gained."

It was said that this Huguenot family was three times
banished and recalled but that the third time they would not
return. The three Sieyes brothers are believed to have spent
some time upon an island in the Irish Sea, possibly the Isle
of Man, but it was more likely in- the English Channel, the
Island of Jersey, the property of England, on the French
Coast. Then the brothers emigrated to America, one going to
the West Indies, the others to New England. The name be-
came Anglicised in both instances, one to Seys, the other to
Sias.

That all of the Sieyes named were not Protestants is shown
by the life of the Abbe Sieyes who lived several generations
after the emigration of our ancestors. He was very prominent
during the French Revolution. He was chosen with Napoleon
a Consul of the French. Later he resigned his office and sup-
ported Napoleon.

The Rev. John Seys was born at St. Croix in the West
Indies March 30, 1799. He married Ann Osborn, born 1804,
on the island of Saint Bartholomew. He was the son of Jacob-
us Seys and Catherine Runnels. Of course his emigrant an-
cestor must have been several generations further back. The
writer after much search has located and examined the manu-
script genealogy of Rev. John Seys. It proved to be disap-
pointing in going no further back than his father although the
Heliger family was traced four generations further to William
Heliger ' ' the first of our ancestors that came from the Austrian
Netherlands. ' '

The Rev. John Seys had 12 children born under 5 differ-
ent flags. One was Clement and it is significant that the name
is also found in the Durham line. The Rev. John Seys was
Superintendent of the M, E. Missions in Liberia, Africa, for

Ensign John Moor 45

many years, being all his life a Missionary. He died in 1872.
Among his descendants now living are Mrs. J. W. Phillips of
New Roehelle, New York and her two sons, Frank H. of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, the originator of
the "Phoebe Snow" advertisements, and C. Coles Phillips, the
talented artist of "LIFE". Mrs. Mary Ellen Seys Buss of
Bakersfield, C'al., is another descendant.

Chapter VI.

JOHN SIAS OF WELLS, DOVER AND DURHAM

It is highly probable that John Sias who was in Wells,
Maine, Jan. 3, 1698-9 when he was presented with ''Ann Pit-
man which is now his wife" by the Grand Jury, was one of
the original immigrant brothers from France. No others
around that period have been found except that "John and
Abegail Seas" in 1735 in Salem, Mass., had a son Thomas (Es-
sex Inst. 8-14). In the Wells case the name was spelled
"Cyas." John and Ann were in Durham, then called
"Oyster River Parish" and which was a part of the Dover,
N. H., colony, about 1700, and made their home in that portion
of Durham which was afterward divided to form the town of
Lee. It is known that many who settled in Dover and vicinity
Avere Huguenots. Among them was Ely DeMerit. It seems
that he left, by will, property on the island of Jersey, in the
English Channel, where his family had found a refuge years
before. He was in Dover in 1694, shortly after the Revocation
and had a grant from the town.

John Sias signed petitions in 1715 and 1716 relating to
the incorporation of Oyster River as a Parish so that they
could have a minister and a school master. He was on the
petitions for these things and not against. He signed by "his
mark" showing his own early deprivations. His daughter,
Hannah, who married John Moore, was then 15 years old and
was destined not to have the advantages of schooling. In
later life she too signed by "her mark." Who can doubt that
the excellent penmanship of her son, Archelaus, was due to
rigorous measures at the hand of his mother? Married at the
age of 19 she brought to John Moore the best blood of France.
The annals of the household are silent as to Hannah Sias.
Not one tradition remains.

Hannah, who married John Moore, was undoubtedly the
first child of John Sias and Ann Pitman. There were Rachel
who in 1724 married Nathaniel Meader, Judith ("Jude Syas")
who married in 1724 Hercules Hunking of Portsmouth, John

Ensign John Moor 47

Jr., who married Hannah Sampson of Wells, Samuel who mar-
ried Phebe, Soloman of Lee, Clement of whom Ave know nothing
except that he had a share in the division of lands in Durham
with his brothers and was "of Canterbury" in 1727, and
Joseph of Lee who married Ruth Mathes and became the most
prominent man of his town,

John Sias, Jr., and Hannah Sampson had at least four
children, Abigail, the first, being baptised in 1729. Nathaniel,

a son, was of Lee. Charles, born 1742, married Jane

who died 1805 at Derby, Vt. Benjamin, born 1747, married
Abigail, daughter of Col, Archelaus Moore of Canterbury.
Both Charles and Benjamin removed to Canterbury, N. H.,
and after the Revolutionary War they both emigrated to Ver-
mont, founding practically all the Sias lines of that State.

John Sias and John Sias, Jr., were in 1722 Grantees of
the new town of Rochester. Either John or his son owned a
negro fiddler "Ned," as is shown by the records.

The SIAS homestead in Oyster River Parish was probably
where John Sias had a grant of 20 acres in 1701 "adjoining
his house." In 1756 his homestead was sold by his son Joseph
to Samuel DeMerritt. The location was probably close to
Turtle Pond which is North of Wednesday Hill in Durham
and less than a mile from the farm bought by John Moor and
Hannah Sias in 1722. Between the two places at a corner
of the Mast road, the main highway (named when the best
pine and spruce trees were being culled from the forests for
the use of the King's Navy) is the oldest cemetery in Lee,
then in Oyster River Parish, Undoubtedly there rest John
and Ann Sias and their family. There are many unmarked
graves and some with rough field stones which are not let-
tered.

The children of John Sias and Ann Pitman, as far as
known, in the probable order of their birth, were:

1. Hannah, who married John Moor, 1719.

2. Rachel, who married Nathaniel Meader, 1724.

3. John, Jr., who married Hannah Sampson, 1728.

4. Judith, who married Hercules Hunking, 1724.

5. Clement ("of Canterbury" in 1727 deed).

48 The Descendants of

6. Samuel, who married Phebe

7. Soloman, who married Hannah —

8. Joseph, who married Ruth Mathes

John Sias, Junior, resided at Oyster River and married
Hannah Sampson of Wells. He is probably buried in Durham,
the date of his birth and death being unknown. They were
married July 16, 1728. Late in life when her sons Benjamin
and Charles had established their homes in the wilderness of
northern Vermont she removed to that locality, residing in
Danville, where she is buried by the side of her son, Capt.
Benjamin Sias of Revolutionary fame. John Sias, Jr., was
baptised Oct. 8, 1721 and was admitted to the church in Dur-
ham in February, 1723-4. With John Moor he was a Grantee
under the charter of Canterbury in 1727. It is not believed
that he ever became a settler there. He received from his
father the "lower half" of 100 acres, lying both sides of the
mast road, near Turtle Pond in Durham. In 1731 he con-
veyed land to Joseph his brother who resided in that portion
which became the town of Lee, N. H. Joseph Sias was called
captain and was a large land holder and married Ruth Mathes
of Durham. They had at least two children, Tamison and
Lydia, Tamison was baptised in 1749 by the Rev. Hugh Adams
and married Jeremiah Ladd of Lee, will proved 1806 [see Ladd
Genealogy, Jeremiah Ladd being son of Daniel and grandson
of Nathaniel]. Lydia was b. Sept. 4, 1745 and married 1765
David Lawrence of Epping and had Sarah (who m. Joseph
Clough of Canterbury), Joseph (who had Joseph of Lee),
Ruth, David, Jotham and Samuel.

The other children of John Sias (Sr.) and Ann were
Rachel, who was married to Nat'l Meader, Dec. 17, 1724, by
Rev. Hugh Adams; Judith (baptized with her mother by Mr.
Adams June 6, 1724), who married Hercules Hunking of Ports-
mouth Dee. 3, 1724, according to the Pierce record. The sons,
beside John and Joseph, already mentioned, were Clement, who
in a deed to his brother Joseph in 1737 was described as of
Canterbury and was on a petition in 1753 in Durham with his
brother Soloman, who was of Durham 1731-1755 and who in
1762 had a wife, Hannah, living. Samuel, the remaining

Ensign John Moor 49

brother, was a "husbandman in Durham" 1757, although a
grantee of Canterbury in 1727. In 1731 he, "of Dover," sold
land in Canterbuiy to John Ayer of Haverhill, Mass. He had
a son, Samuel, Jr., b. 1737, who at age of 30 was a farmer in
Nottingham. In 1758 he served in Capt, Hercules Mooney's
Co. and in 1755 was for 3 months with Gen. Arnold at Quebec
in Capt, Henry Dearborn's Co. in Stark's regiment (see State
Papers),

The children of John Sias, Jr., and Hannah Sampson were :

1. Abigail, baptized, "infant daughter" Oct. 26, 1729, by
Eev. Hugh Adams, and of whom nothing further is known.

2. Charles, b. , 1742 in Durham, married Jane

, who died March 9, 1815, at 72 years of age (b. 1743).

He died March 7, 1837, at the great age of 95 years. They are
buried at West Derby, Vt. He resided for a few years in Can-
terbury, N. H, In 1777 he was hogreeve and surveyor of
lumber there. He does not appear to have enlisted in the
Revolutionary war with his brother Benjamin, although about
32 years of age when the war broke out. Careful search of
land titles would reveal his migrations but it is tradition in the
family that he and his wife came to Derby about 1800 from
Peacham, on hand sleds, and that John, one of their sons, fol-
lowed soon after.

3. Benjamin, b. June 14, 1747, d. Dec. 21, 1799, m. Abi-
gail, daughter of Col, Archelaus Moore of Canterbury, (See
sketch of his life and Revolutionary war career,)

4. Nathaniel, of whom nothing is known,

Charles Sias (brother of Capt, Benjamin) and Jane had
10 children. As they were not of Moore blood accounts of
them are brief, except as to Charles, Jr, (b, 1776), who married
Elizabeth Glines, 1808, a Moore descendant,

THE ROBERTS-PITMAN ANCESTRY OF HANNAH
SIAS, WIFE OF JOHN MOOR

In the year 1623 Thomas Roberts came from London to
Hilton's point and in a short time the permanent settlement
known as Dover, N. H., was made. In 1639 he signed with 41
others the Dover Combination. Already Oyster River or Dur-
ham had settlers and in 1848 WilHam Roberts (whose relation-
ship to Thomas is unknown but who may have been a son or a
brother) was one of twenty-three inhabitants to be "rated" for
taxes. In the rate of 1657 the name of WiUiam Pitman appears.

The lot next west of Wakeman's creek was first owned by
Darby Field, the first white man to explore the White Mts., who
sold to WiUiam Roberts, who sold the lot to William Drew
before 1648. The place was long known as Drew's Point and
the cellar of his garrison house may still plainly be seen and
traces of the orchard around it. The house was burned in 1694.
The permanent residence of WiUiam Roberts, who is the most
remote ancestor traceable by those of Moore descent in this
book, was on the south side of Oyster River, the next westerly
from the lot of WilHam Williams (who came with Thomas
Wiggin to Dover Neck in 1633), whose lot adjoined the min-
ister's or first church lot on the west. He lived near the river
bank, 20 rods west of the parsonage lot, a spot covered by a
brick yard at the present time. Stephen Jenkins bought the
place and the Jenldns family lived thereon for many years.
William Roberts sold a part of his lot next to the road, on the
back side of the lot, to Thomas Doughty, who sold it to John
Cutt of Portsmouth in 1667. The place stiU goes by the name
of Cutts Hill. In 1664 Roberts gave a deed of the remaining
land to William Pitman, who had been living there since earUer
than 1657 and had married his daughter, Ann Roberts. In the
sale "to WiUiam Pitman and to his eldest son Ezekial Pitman"
the lot is described as adjacent to "Robert Burnham's lands on
the northwest side of it and Thomas Dowties on the southeast
side to a marked tree at the lower end of the fresh marsh and
from thence along the brow of ye HiU tiU it meet with Robert
Burnhams line and from thence along his line to Oyster River
and ye river bounds ye other end." The price was 16 pounds.

52 The Descendants of

Here the Pitman family lived many years. The southerly end
of the farm on the south side of the main road is still known
as the Pitman field. The next lot west of Roberts' land was
originally OAvned by Ambrose Gibbins, the leader of Capt. John
Mason's colony. He settled here before 1640. In 1652 he had
a grant between his land and William Roberts'. The Burnham
garrison house, which was probably the house of Ambrose Gib-
bins, stood on the hilltop, where the old cellar may be plainly
seen, as well as the cellar of a smaller house or out-building
near by. Ezekial Pitman lived within gunshot at the time of
the massacre in 1694, and hearing cries of alarm escaped with
his family to the Burnham garrison, while his own house was
burned. (See Landmarks in Ancient Dover, p. 180, and
"Early Settlers and Estates" chapter of History of Durham,
Stackpole and Thompson, 1913.)

In 1660 William Roberts was on a committee to arrange
for preaching. A meeting house had been built in 1655 by
Valentine Hill and a parsonage the following year, but not
till 1668 were they formally given for the use of the ministry
when 60 acres were granted by the selectmen for the meet-
ing house and burying place. Close to the river on a slightly
elevated ridge of land now covered with a clump of trees and
bushes was the site of the first church. Search fails to disclose
any signs of graves. Here undoubtedly lie William Roberts
and his family together, probably with his daughter Ann and
her husband William Pitman.

William Roberts was killed by the Indians in 1675 in the
first clash of arms in what is known in history as King Philip's
War. In that year the Indians burned five or six houses at
Oyster River and killed two men, namely William Roberts and
his son-in-law. Who the latter was is not known. He had Ann,
who m.arried William Pitman, Hannah, who married (1) Wil-
liam Hill and (2) John Cox, Grace, who married (1) Philip
Duley and (2) Timothy Moses, a daughter who married Sala-
thiel Denbow, Sarah who married John Harmon of Scarbor-
ough, Me., Elizabeth who probably married Nicholas Dunn,
and William ''a simple youth" mentioned in 1669.

William Roberts was fined for mending the stocks in the
fifth month, fifth day 1643. The History of Durham naively

Ensign John Moor 53

states that perhaps he did a poor job. In 164:5 Darby Field in
conveying the lot at Oyster Kiver mentions it as "in the use of
Thomas Koberts," showing relationship to him of Dover Neck.
He may have been a son but was not named in the will of
Thomas Koberts. William Roberts was fined in 1650 for going
to the ordinary in the time of meeting. In 1673 William and
his wife Ann Roberts gave testimony. Her parentage is not
known. Her name was borne by two successive generations.
William Roberts was granted 100 acres near Wheelwrights
Pond and this his daughter and grandson sold in 1720 to Sala-
thiel Denbow, who also bought 200 acres on the north side of
the same pond, called Roberts Neck, where John Sias and his
wife Ann had an interest.

William Pitman was a blacksmith. On Sept. 29, 1653, he
married in Boston Barbara Evans, who died after the birth of
her daughter, Mary, in 1657. Mary married Stephen Otis in
1674. Between 1661 and 1682 Ann, daughter of William Rob-
erts, is repeatedly mentioned. William Pitman is rated in 1657
in Durham and must have been in town about the time of the
birth of his daughter Mary. He was born about 1632 as shown
by a deposition, probablj^ in England. His first marriage at 21
years of age was followed, after the birth of Mary and probably
Ezekial (in 1658), by his second marriage and the birth of 10
children, by his death in 1682 at the age of 50. Children by
second wife, Ann Roberts; John, Frances, Nathaniel, Joseph,
Elizabeth, Abigail, Sarah Ann, Zachariah, Hannah and Judith,
Joseph, born 1669, was killed by the Indians in 1704, at the
age of 35, leaving a wife and six children. William, second
son of Ezekial Pitman and wife Joanna, perhaps the daughter
of James Derry, bought the land and sold it in 1722 to John
Moor and Hannah Sias for their homestead near Wednesday
brook.

Ann Pitman, who was born in 1672, was 10 years old at the
time of her father's death. She was 26 years of age at the time
of her marriage to "John Syas of Wells" (see York Deeds, Vol.
V). She was not baptized until June 7, 1724, after two grand-
children were born, William and Archelaus Moore. When she
was aged about 62, Feb. 22, 1734, she made a deposition in
which she said that about 45 years before when she lived with

54 The Descendants of

William Follett (at the age of about 17, probably as a helper
about the place) she raked hay on his marsh near Johnson's
Creek for four or five seasons. (Court Files 23424, Secretary
of State, Concord, N, H.) William Follett was a prominent
man in town affairs and had several grants of land. He mar-
ried July 12, 1672, Elizabeth, widow of William Drew, who
died 1669. She was born 1628, daughter of Francis Matthews,
and was therefore about 60 years, old when Ann Pitman lived
at her home, or perhaps only assisted in the haying season,
living at her own home, but as to this deponent "saith not."

Chapter VII.

JOHN MOOR IN DURHAM

The act of John Moor in leaving Portsmouth, his boyhood
home and the residence of his mother, Mary, and his brother,
Samuel, can be accounted for only by reason of his marriage
to Hannah Sias. How he became acquainted with her is beyond
conjecture in our ignorance of the habits of the two
families, one local to Portsmouth with strong maritime
tendencies, the other tillers of the soil belonging to an entirely
different colony, Dover. The first we hear of John Moor after
he attained his majority and was received (April 19th, 1717)
into the church in Portsmouth is his marriage by the eccentric
minister of Oyster River Parish (then a part of Dover, later
to become the town of Durham), the Rev. Hugh Adams. The
event occurred March 15th, 1719-20. One year and five months
later the first child, William, was born. Nothing more is of
record until the second child, Archelaus, was born April 6th,
1722, At first John Moor may have lived with his wife's
parents, John and Ann Sias, near Turtle pond, but the needs
of a growing family required a separate home and the sale of
the Portsmouth property resulted. John Moor was 26 years old.
He received from the sale or division of the homestead 45
pounds and as he paid 55 pounds for the 40-acre tract in Dur-
ham he must have earned some money, probably from his labors
as " husbandman, '^ his description in the deed. "William Pit-
man of Oyster River signed the Portsmouth deed as a witness
on the same day that he and his wife, Joanna, gave title to
John Moor to the place in Durham near Wednesday Brook.
It is probable that all the parties to the two deeds were present
in Portsmouth on that day.

Fortunately the location of the Moore property has been
discovered. It was less than a mile from the Sias home. An
old gentleman, D. L. Bartlett, Esq., of Amesbury, Mass., a des-
cendant of John Laskey, was born in the Laskey Homestead at
the corner of the Mast road and the Wednesday Brook road,
the latter being almost exactly on the line now dividing Durham

56 The Descendants of

and Lee. He recalls that in his boyhood days his father
ploughed around and filled an old cellar where a house had
stood which tradition said was formerly occupied by a family
of Moores. The spot was on the East side of the road about
four rods South of where Wednesday Brook crosses it. Apply-
ing these measurements the writer found the site and learned
from the present occupant of the old Laskey homestead that
occasionally pieces of brick come to the surface of the ground
during ploughing though there is not even a depression of the
ground to indicate a cellar at the present time.

The brook, clear as crystal, finds a never failing source
in Wednesday hill, a wooded mound a short distance away.
Where it emerges from the fields ancient willows make shade for
a tiny waterfall. Horses are still driven down by the side of
the road in the old-fashioned way, to be watered. The brook
crosses the road under a little bridge and meanders through the
meadow in a deep course past the Laskey place to join the Oy-
ster River, which is itself merely a larger brook, emptying into
salt water at ' ' the Falls ' ' about 5 miles away. ^

In 1757 when he was over 60 years of age John Moor made
three trips from Canterbury to Durham on behalf of the
church. He must have seen again, probably for the last time,
the spot hallowed by memories of his chequered start in life,
the playground of his boys and girls. There again in memory
was his cottage home, an open door and windows with bright
faces about their homely tasks. Many an evening had he
trudged homeward from the shipyard from his day of hard
labor on shallop and pinnance to be gladdened by the greetings
of his helpmeet.

"To make a happy fireside clime for weans and wife.
That's the true pathos and sublime of human life."

A few poor apple trees now border the unfenced road. No
bed of lilies continues to shoot perennially its leaves in the early
Spring. Not a sign remains of this cradle of our race. But at
the brook the lights and shadows on its surface and the ripples
over the clear gravel still brighten the eye,

* ' For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever. ' *

corn is growing. The rippling brook is in the right foreground.

By reason of his being a land owner in Portsmouth previouri
to 1722 John Moor received 72 acres in the new town of Barring-
ton. In 1727 the proprietors voted not to accept the land "it
proving to be so extraordinary bad by reason of its being so
extreemly rocky and stony that none of those present would
accept it." John Moor of Oyster E-iver, husbandman, sold his
Barrington land, Nov. 22, 1731, to Henry Kees, shop-keeper of
Portsmouth. In the next year extra inducements were given
but John Moor had become interested in Canterbury.

In the year 1732 John Moor was a "trained soldier" at
Oyster River and in 1733 he received a grant from the town, in
a division of lands, of 6i/4 acres. No actual military service
has been discovered.

November 5, 1727, the Rev. Hugh Adams records ' ' an awful
earthquake." It was on Sunday evening and the following
Tuesday was set apart as a Fast day. Only a few weeks later,
the day before Christmas, the four children were baptised,
William, Archelaus, Elizabeth and Samuel, "children of John
More." Oct. 5, 1729, the Rev. Hugh Adams baptised "Sarah
More, infant of John More." From 1730 to 1739 the church
records are lost. The incorporation of Durham and the drop-
ping of the parish name, Oyster River, took place in 1732 but
John Moor does not seem to have signed any of the petitions.
Hugh Adams came to Durham in 1718 and John Moor lived in
town all through the controversy of the Parish with him. In
1738 Mr. Adams got a judgment against the Parish but in 1739
the ecclesiastical council censured and dismissed him. In a
petition in 1738 he complained of the delinquencies of his
people and cites the efficacy of his prayers for rain. He re-
mained in Durham during the ministry of his successor and
retained the confidence and affection of many of his people.

John Moor's land in Oyster River Parish or Durham may
be briefly described as follows (deed of 1722) "with all the
housing and edefices whatsoever on the said half" the 40 acres
William Pittman bought in 1720 of James Basford in a deed
which mentions a highway "which is only for conveniency in
going to and fro the Hook mill" and which was granted by the
town of Dover to Edward Urin. After living on this place 11
years John Moor sold for 70 pounds to Samuel Smith "all my

58 The Descendants of

lands adjoining to my house and barn at Wednesday Brook and
adjoining to John Laskey's lands, with all the rest of my lands
that lyeth on the South side of the Mast road that leads from
Durham falls to the head of New Durham, however the same
be bounded or reputed to be bounded together with one dwelling
house and barn, orchard, garden and fencing." Smith was a
resident of Durham and was Clerk of the Proprietors of Canter-
bury, though never a settler there, and of him John Moor
bought at this time (1733) Lot No, 106 in Canterbury which
afterward became his home. For some reason the deed was not
recorded until 1768. John Moor does not seem to have bought
any other land in Durham. He may have continued to live on
his home place or may have moved to Oyster River Falls to be
nearer his work; as a shipwright. The 15 years following 1733
was a period of transition, part of the time being spent in
Canterbury making a new home, and part in Durham when
Canterbury because of Indian troubles or other difficulties was
impossible as a place of residence.

For about 8 years after his marriage John Moor lived in
Durham as a husbandman or shipwright, raising a family, with
but little of record save of a domestic nature. From the Court
files now in the office of the Secretary of State at Concord, N. H.,
it is to be inferred that financial difficulties began about 1728
and continued to harrass him for about 15 years. It is not
possible to discover whether misfortune or imprudence over-
took him. The record must speak for itself.

June 4, 1728 John Moor and Joshua Davis of Oyster River
gave a note to William Knight in the sum of 15 pounds. This
bears the earliest signature we have of him, at the age of 32 and
is almost identical with those of his later years. Three months
later on September 4, 1728, at Portsmouth, the following under-
taking was entered into :

*'We the subscriber do oblige ourselves to deliver unto
Henry Sherburne, Esq. one thousand of merchantable white
oak barrel staves on his wharf on or before the 20th inst.
for three pounds, value received, as witness our hands,

John Moor,
Joshua Davis".

Ensign John Moor 59

On the next day, September 5, 1728, John Moor of Oyster
River gave a note to John Downing of Newington for three
pounds. On November 11, 1728 he executed the following:

' * Know all men by these presents that I, John Moor, of
Oyster River in the Province of New Hampshire, am duly
and justly indebted unto Henry Sherburne, Esq. of the
town of Portsmouth in the Province aforesaid for the full
and lawful sum of seven pounds, ten shillings, current
money of this Province which I promise to pay unto said
Sherburne his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns
in good bills of credit upon this province on or before the
14th day of April next ensuing the date hereof as witness
my hand this 11th day of November in the second year of
the reign of our Sovereign Lord George and in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight. ' '

The body of this document is not in the hand of John Moor.
His signature however is identical with all those we have of him.

On June 1, 1729 his 5th child, Sarah, was born. On
August 10, Mark Newmark, under Sheriff, paid a visit to the
home of John Moor and reports "I have left a summons at the
house of the defendant and attacht a chair." On October 5th
Sarah, "infant of John More" was baptised and the next day
at a meeting of the proprietors of the new town of Canterbury,
held in Durham, a committee was chosen to bound the grant.
On December 3rd Sherburne recovered judgment against John
Moor for the debt of 7 pounds, 10 shillings, with 2 pounds, 2
shillings costs. Two days later an execution was issued on the
Moore-Davis note of 3 pounds and it is marked "received one-
half of John More." On the same day an execution was issued
on the Downing note for 3 pounds.

The dark days of this hard winter finally passed and we
may be sure that on March 25, 1730, John Moor was in attend-
ance in Durham at the annual meeting of the proprietors of
Canterbury. In various deeds and other legal papers he was
about this period "husbandman," "yoeman" and "shipright"
and we have found him undertaking contracts relating to lum-
bering. His troubles were not to culminate for some time for

60 The Descendants of

en June 4, 1730, Deborah Knight secured a judgment against
him on a note given to her late husband. A few days later, on
June 9th, John Moor sold to John Downing of Newington a
part of his farm. 11 acres of the same brought the sum of 44
pounds. Four years later, Downing sold this land to John Las-
key for 52 pounds. The transaction sufficed for a time. May
27, 1731 the "home lots" in Canterbury were drawn, John
Moor securing No. 178. October 17, 1732, John Moor of Dur-
ham "shipright" deeded 5 acres of his farm to Elizabeth Al-
cock of Portsmouth. We later find that she was a shop-keeper
there, trading with John Moor, apparently over a considerable
period of time. The deed, which was not recorded until 1739,
may have been something in the nature of security for the pay-
ment of an account. In 1741 she sold for 20 pounds the 5 acres
to John Laskey who added them to his farm.

May 4, 1733, John Moor sold ''all my lands" in Durham
to Samuel Smith, thus entirely disposing of his homestead. His
wife Hannah, signed by her mark. A few days later, May 16th,
Nathaniel, their youngest son, was born. On the 17th Eliza-
beth Alcock of Portsmouth instituted an action of ejectment
from the five acres of which "she should be in quiet and peace-
able possession." On May 21st the sheriff paid another visit
to John Moor's little home by the brook and went through the
formality of attaching a hat.

Events were moving rapidly for the family. William, the
eldest son, was 13 years old, Archelaus was 11, both unable to
comprehend so serious a situation. The turning point had ar-
rived and on August 2nd, John Moor, his own alotment in
Canterbury proving to be badly located, bought of Samuel Smith
' ' for a valuable sum of money " by a deed not recorded for some
reason until 1768 "one whole right in the town of Canterbury"
it being lot No. 106, the deed containing these significant words,
"provided he settle." On this land John Moor made his per-
manent home. It is easy to believe that it was not long after-
ward, perhaps during that very Summer, that John Moor made
preparation to occupy his land. He may have built "the cave"
in that year but if not then probably during the next season,
for on June 30, 1736, a number of settlements had been made
and the town voted to have a minister.

Ensign John Moor

In the mean time, on November 15, 1733, Deborah Knight
secured a judgment, on the Moor-Davis note given to her late
husband, for 15 pounds, 5 shillings, and on the 20th of the
month the sheriff attached a chair at the home of each. An
other atachment issued on June 8, 1734.

For over 4 years, during which, on May 6, 1737, Hannah,
the 7th child was born, we have no other record of John Moor
or his family. On November 8, 1738 Elizabeth Alcock, shop-
keeper of Portsmouth, with whom the family appeared to con-
tinue to trade, made out the following bill, reproduced in full,
^rhieh is extremely interesting as showing the manner of living
of the time and many strangely named articles in use:

Calamanco was a glossy woolen twilled or chequered stuff,
often brocaded in the warp so that the pattern showed on one
side only. Osnaberg (first made in a town of that name in
Germany) was a coarse cloth made of flax or tow. Baize was a
woolen stuff woven originally of fine yarn but in later genera-
tions of coarser materials, generally in plain colors, green or
red. Fustian was a stout cloth of cotton or of cotton and flax,
and was very durable. Ferret was a silk tape or ribbon used
for lacing. The habit of consuming large amounts of spirit-
uous liquors was general among all classes of people and con-
tinued for nearly a hundred years after this period. As late as
1778 the town of London voted to have two barrels of rum at
the raising of the new church.

The name of Eben or Ebeneezer More oeeur:; in the ac-
count. He was probably not related to our ancestor. It was
probably he who was born 1706 (10 years later than Ensign
John Moor), the son of John Moor and Mary Cutts, and curious-
ly enough had a brother John who was born in the same year,
1696, as our ancestor, and married Elizabeth Fernald. No
other transactions connect the two men and it was probably a
casual business deal.

From the fact that about this time (1738) John Moor was
buying nails ("500 nails" and "600 nails" and "nails 2 shill-
ings" it may be inferred that having sold his Durham home 5

years before he was building his Canterbury house. Possibly
in the soil under the stones of the cellar some of these hand-
made nails, originally driven home by his owii hand, may be
still uneonsumed by rust.

On Aug. 13, 1739, nearly 9 months after the goods were
sold, Elizabeth Alcock secured an attachment. The outcome of
this process is not of record but she was undoubtedly paid ul-
timately.

January 14, 1740, John Moor of Canterbury, Shipwright,
bought of Benjamin Jones lot No. 55 in Canterbury. This later
became the home of his son William who there built the house
which is still standing, a very interesting structure. On May
6th of this year Mary his 10th and last child was bom. It was
in this year also that he was made Highway Surveyor in Canter-
bury. Feb. 25, 1741-2, a petition alleged that there were 30
families in town. This is believed by Historian Lyford to have
been an exaggeration but in 1741 Canterbury was given town
privileges. May 15, 1742, Catherine, widow of Ephraim Den-
nett, secured an attachment against John Moor. In 1743 John
Moor's son, Archelaus, bought his first land in Canterbury and
in the next year his son William was a Field-driver there and
a fort was erected with the money which was originally set
apart for the ministry. May 15, 1742, Catherine Dennett
secured an attachment against "John Moor, late of Canter-
bury, residing in "Durham." He was probably only tem-
porarily there. Nothing more appears until 1748 when William
and Samuel, the sons, bought land in Canterbury and at the
annual meeting March 16, 1749 (one of the last to be held in
Durham) the legal voters of Canterbury, or the "Proprietors",
as they were called, elected John Moor one of the Selectmen, in
company with Captain Jeremiah Clough and Josiah Miles, two
of the substantial men of the community. It is probable that
by this period John Moor had worked out of his financial dif-
ficulties. With his large family and always limited resources
he was dependent upon the prosperity of the colony to make
both ends meet and it must not be forgotten that during many
of the years of his greatest need Indian warfare rendered his
work in the woods precarious. Much of the time the state of
public finances was low and undertakings of all kinds were

Ensign John Moor 65

fraught with danger. His Durham farm was not particularly
productive and the Canterbury soil proved to be even less so
after the first generation had received the early fruits of the
then rich but shallow and sandy wood-land,

John Moor was educated in the schools of Portsmouth, a
lively seaport of considerable size and the only place of note in
the colony. His wife, Hannah Sias, brought up, if not bom,
in a straggling neighboring settlement, of poor Huguenot
parents, never learned to write. Nevertheless all of their chil-
dren were given the advantages of schooling in Durham. The
fine penmanship, at its best almost copper plate, of Archelaus
Moore, Town Clerk of Canterbury, was diligently acquired
there. Samuel 's hand was nearly as good. That of William, the
eldest son, showed less cultivation.

During all of his life John Moor seems to have had no busi-
ness dealings with his prosperous brother. Col. Samuel Moore
of Portsmouth. Marriages were the important factors in the
lives of each and shaped their destinies. In spite of his humble
choice Fate dealt kindly with John Moor. He had no share in
the fame and fortune that came to his brother. There may have
been estrangements but as we know of none we may suppose
that on his visits to Portsmouth he was frequently to be found
in the office and shop of the merchant and *' ship-master, " his
brother, and at his table in the sumptuous home.

Chapter VIII.

ENSIGN JOHN MOOR IN CANTERBURY

Owing to the exposed condi-
rJ/^^/^^c ':e:<>'c.-<^/^^ tion of Canterbury, the new

town, and the dangers involved
in settling there, progress halted time and again, John Moor
promptly took his allotment of land as a Grantee under the
Charter of 1727, by reason of being a land-holder in Durham
where most of the Proprietors lived. He also acquired addi-
tional rights by purchase. He evidently planned to secure
enough land for the needs of himself and his four sons. He was
as heavily committed to the success of the enterprise as anyone.
Most of the people of Durham had little thought of removing
from their well equipped homesteads, their long tilled fields and
pleasant and safe surroundings. They gradually disposed of
their "rights" in Canterbury for cash and remained in Dur-
ham. Not so did John Moor. In 1733 he made what appears
to be a trade with Samuel Smith of Durham, selling Smith his
home place in Durham for the sum of 70 pounds and buying
40-acre home lot No. 106 of Smith, which, being the original
right of Phillip Chesley, was one which Smith himself had
.acquired by purchase. The deed, Smith to Moor, was not re-
corded for some reason until July 6, 1768. The consideration
was **a valuable sum of money" and the covenant contained
the significant words ''provided he settle." This is supposed
to indicate that transfers of title about that time without inten-
tion of occupation were discouraged or prohibited. The effect
of this provision was probably the construction of

"THE MOORE CAVE."

This interesting subject has been preserved by family tra-
dition. Doubtless to establish and perfect his title to the piece
of ground he had purchased, John Moor journeyed through the
woods from Durham to his property in Canterbury and there,
either in the year 1733 or shortly afterward, constructed in the

Sylvanus C. Moore standing among the stones used
to fill "The Moore Cave."

bank at the side of the fine brook which flowed south across the
western end of his 40-acre lot, a structure which would answer
the purposes of a temporary home. Mr. John G. Tallant, whose
father at the time owned the lot, states that between 1856 and
1860 he with James Hodge carried loose stones from above the
orchard so as to plant potatoes there and dumped them into
"the old Moore cave hole" and that at that time the hole was
close to the brook and seemed to be about 10 by 12 feet in size
and so deep there was danger of a sheep getting hurt, the main
portion of the lot being used for a sheep pasture. In after years
some of the stones were drawn away on sleds to fill in a turn
in the Merrimack Eiver back of the Charles Smith place and
around the bridge but a great quantity remains to this day.

We may suppose that the "cave" was small, partly under-
ground and partly projecting toward the brook and was built
in of timber hewn on the premises, and that it had a chimney
of stones and clay. In this rude "dug-out" the progenitor of
our race, the forefather of every person of Moore blood in this
book, lived off and on in the solitude. Later his sons became
old enough to accompany him. Neighbors were few and scat-
tered at long distances at clearings in the forest, the roads being
no more than bridle paths, for carts were not for some years
brought into the wilderness. Many times, it is said, to throw
the Indians off the scent our forebear would walk in the brook
down to its outlet in the Merrimack and thence go to the old
Greenough store on Boscawen Plains, a settlement made some
ten years before Canterbury on the opposite side of the river.
The Indians were not always predatory but when otherwise
were inquisitive and mischievous.

How many times in after years in his farm house with his
grandchildren or great-grandchildren about his knees would
John Moor relate stories of those early days and recount his
perils, the menace of the red man, the howl of the wolf and the
screech of the catamount? In the early days themselves, after
the removal from Durham, John Moor had about him his young
sons and daughters whose first years were spent in the com-
parative security of a coast town. To them the stories were
of lands beyond the sea, of the homes and events of Old England
and, for the mother was the daughter of a Huguenot refugee.

70 The Descendants of

of the fields and cottages of sunny France. With the roar of
the pine-knot fire on the broad hearth and in the feeble light
of the candles, how terrible became the story of the massacre
of Saint Bartholomew! Then there were also the adventures
of Samuel Moor, his father, mariner out of Portsmouth, the
sailings to Barbadoes and his service in the Province fleet of
the King's navy.

The writer learned of the cave story from Sylvanus C.
Moore at Weirs, ]\". H., in 1908. Mr. Moore, who died there
Feb. 20, 1910, one week after his 80th birthday, had always
lived in Canterbury, owning his father's home place at the time
of his death. When a young man he was shown by John T, G.
Emery, born 1799, grandson of Col. David McCrillis, the cave
hole. The spot was pointed out to Mr. Emery, who had an
interest in such things and a good memory, by his grandfather
McGrillis, who was second husband of Capt. Samuel Moore's
Avidow, Susannah, and therefore in the family. Col. McGrillis
was born in 1754, knew Ensign John Moor for over 30 years
and did not die until 1825, 40 years after our ancestor.

In 1909, Mr. S. C. Moore and the writer examined the
locality carefully and settled on the spot with reasonable satis-
faction. An effort was made to pull away enough rocks and
cobbles to ''see something" and at this work the elder man
was eager as a boy. Nothing was accomplished save to secure
a photograph of Mr. Sylvanus C. Moore standing at the edge
of the brook in the young woods at the location of "the cave"
which his great-great-grandfather built.

Later the two found the "cellar hole" of the original En-
sign John Moor house a few rods east of the cave and at the
western edge of the open field, next the woods. When it is
understood that the successive pointing out by witnesses was
later supplemented by the discovery from the record of land
titles that the lot, according to the Proprietor's official map,
was the same purchased by John Moor in 1733 and the one
"where I now live" of 1785, showing his half -century of occu-
pancy, nothing further seems to be necessary in the way of
identification.

The house-site is a cellar-hole plainly to be seen in the level
field filled with small stones. Pieces of brick mingled with

Ensign John Moor 71

the stones indicate a chimney. The bricks were crudely mixed
and irregularly burned and were small, probably of tovni manu-
facture. The house was probably not very large. The hole is
about 20 by 26 feet and the cellar was under one-half of the
house only. Only one person now living can remember any
building on this lot. Mrs. W. W. Wheeler, who was Mary Jane
Blanchard, reared at the Capt. Samuel Moore Tavern, less than
a half-mile away, was born in 1820. She can recall the house,
of one and a half stories, facing south, with a small ell joining
the east end and running north. In the ell was a side door, the
main door being in the middle of the front, a typical low, broad,
"first settler" house, unpainted and with one large central
chimney. The structure disappeared about 80 years ago and
no one remembers what became of it. Mr. Tallant thinks it
was burned down as coals have been found when plowing the
field. The location of the barns is not known but there are
some indications that they were small and in a hollow behind
and northwest of the house where vestiges of a cornered wall
remain. Some rods in front of the house-site, between it and
the present road, in a large hollow, are remains of what are
said to have been tan pits, two or three of them. There is no
indication that any of the Moore family were tanners except
a tradition in one branch, that of Col. Matthias Moore. Strange
to say Mrs. Wheeler, whose memory is so tenacious, can recall
nothing of the smell of tanning leather on her way to school.
West of the big brook, at present dried up in dry summers, was
and is a fine spring, located in the corner of lots 94 and 96 with
lot 106, a spring which has undoubtedly been in constant use
since 1740. John Moor being a shipwright probably built his
own house and all of the interior conveniences such as cupboards,
shelves and benches. In the earliest days only the roughest and
commonest articles could be made in the new settlements owing
to the lack of mills and tools. When he built his Canterbury
residence John Moor was not able financially to build a large
and commodious residence and in after years his reduced fam-
ily did not require one.

Until recent years a road ran diagonally from the Tallant
road south of John Moor's, past his house, crossing the brook,
emerging on the main north and south road at the door-yard

72 The Descendants of

of the Stephen Moore place, later the Carter, now the Pickard
place, crossing the road and dooryard to run down across a
good stone bridge, still to be seen, over the brook which is the
outlet of Morrill Pond, to end in front of the Samuel Moore-
McCrillis-Blanchard Tavern. With the thinning out of the
population in the southern part of the town the road became
but little used and its course is not easily traced at the present
time.

On the north end of the lot are the remains of a large
orchard of ancient origin. It was natural, not grafted, fruit
and was much esteemed in its palmy days before the better
stock was obtainable. North of it, several rods beyond the
second wall, among the present pines, on the highest ground,
there is a small depression filled with stones which is still
pointed out as the site of a "fort" or "block house" or place
of shelter for the neighbors from the Indians. The whole sec-
tion once so well cultivated and peopled has reverted to pas-
ture land with not a human habitation in sight. From a refer-
ence to a town meeting called at the "lower fort" at the house
of Samuel Moore his first tavern or inn may have been either
at his father's house or north of it at the "fort." A tradition
remains to this day that owing to some dissatisfaction with the
keeping of the tavern it was removed to a new and more distant
location, where commodious buildings were erected and the
benefits of direct north and south stage traf&c secured, and
where Capt, Samuel Moore began a lucrative business which he
and his successors carried on for nearly 150 years.

In the town records a meeting was called July 7, 1758, at
"the lower fort in said Canterbury at the house of Samuel
Moor." There is no tradition that the well known Moore-
McCrillis-Blanchard tavern was ever a fort. There was, how-
ever, it is perfectly well known, a "block house" where Mrs.
John Snyder lives, half a mile below the tavern. A doubt exists
which can never be resolved and these indications are given
for what they are worth.

There is a tradition that toward the last of the occupancy
of the old Ensign John Moore house, neighbors one night were
alarmed by a woman's screams from within it. On investigat-
ing it was found that the occupants were having a family

Ensign John Moor 73

quarrel and resented any outside interference, preferring to
settle the difficulty themselves.

At times during the period following the granting of the
new town in 1727 and 1733, when John Moor bought more land
in Canterbury, he worked at his trade as a shipwright. Disap-
pointed at the failure of the colony to flourish and afford him a
livelihood and with many mouths in his family to feed, wages
were essential, for he had sold his home in Durham (to buy
better land in Canterbui'y) and must needs pay rent. There
is no reason to doubt that this was the dark and uncertain por-
tion of his life and the time of many a hard fought battle with
himself. His wife, Hannah Sias, had seen but little schooling,
for she writes, in the deed in 1733 of the homestead, with "her
mark." All the children were kept at school in Durham and
they were given the benefits of the limited but sound education
of the times. The patient self-denying father and loyal and
thrifty Huguenot mother lived to see each of them well-to-do in
property and of high repute in the community.

Lot No. 177 received by John Moor as a Grantee in the
drawing of lots proved to be so poorly located on the edge of the
town (at the present time partly in Concord and partly in
Loudon) that he made no effort to improve it. He bought the
Smith lot. Indian troubles rendered the future of the settle-
ment doubtful. Indecision is indicated by the description of
John Moor in the various deeds of the period. In 1732 he is
shipwright of Durham, in 1733 yoeman of Durham, in 1740 he
is shipwright of Canterbury, in 1748 shipwright of Durham,
and later in the same year he is husbandman of Durham. In
the deed of Nov. 18, 1748, he is of Canterbury and thereafter
uniformly of that town. This covers a long period and there is
nothing to show when the last of the family moved from Dur-
ham. It is probable that the shifting was very gradual, the
elder sons becoming established before the final breaking up at
Durham took place.

In the petition of 1747 of Canterbury inhabitants for a grist
mill John Moor's name is not found with those of his sons
Arehelaus, William and Samuel, probably because he was tem-
porarily at Durham.

74 The Descendants of

When and how John Moor received the title of Ensign is
not known but it is first coupled with his name in the report of
the meeting of the Proprietors called March 16, 1749 "at the
meeting house at Durham Falls," when he with Capt. Jeremiah
Clough and Mr. Josiah Miles were made the Selectmen of Canter-
bury for the year ensuing. This indicates better than anything
else the prominence of John Moor in the new colony. There was
doubtless a defensive organization of the inhabitants for it was
s, time when every able-bodied man was ' ' a trained soldier ' ' and
carried arms against the Indians. No field service or service in
any war has been found for Ensign John Moor. He probably
had much unofficial scouting and the handling of the Canterbury
forces was for many years a serious business. "When the time
came for enlistments in foreign wars against the French he was
well past middle life and during the Revolutionary war he was
an aged man. It is interesting in the latter connection to note
that in 1778 the town voted that his "head be exempted from
future rates ' ' meaning he should be called upon to pay no more
poll taxes during his life. He was then 82 years old and the
exemption served him till his death in his 90th year.

The year 1752 seems to have been a busy one for our fore-
father. It is recorded that the town meeting was held at his
house. He was then 56 years of age and one of the substantial
men of the community. At this meeting he was elected Tything-
man and Fence-Viewer and was appointed on a committee to
examine the accounts of the Selectmen.

"What would we not give for a "Motion-picture" of this
meeting; the gathering of the legal voters, their arrival on foot
or horseback, their disposition of their horses, the little knots
around the door discussing town affairs! Within, doubtless
every chair and seat was assembled and some brought from other
houses. Refreshments were customary and the good wife and
daughters had their ' ' hands full ' ', during the bustle and excite-
ment of the occasion. The lineaments of the founders of all the
leading families of the town lined the modest meeting room.
Their faces will never be known, for only the wealthy in the
large towns could have oil portraits in those days, but their
steadfast promotion of the best interests of the struggling com-
munity produced results far beyond their lifetime and their
memories are deservedly revered.

In 1753 John Moor was Highway Surveyor and also on a
Committee ' ' to call the Committee to account who built the meet-
ing house and see what they have done with the money." The
Committee consisted of ' ' Ensign John Moor, Samuel Shepard and
Ephriam Hackett." On a vote in the same year to pay Mr.
Scales (the minister) 40 shillings for the past year, William
Forrest, William Curry and John Moor entered their dissent.
At the meeting of August 16, 1757 Ephraim Hackett was moder-
ator and at the adjourned meeting Aug. 30th Ensign John Moor
was moderator. At the meeting of July 5, 1758, dissent from
paying Rev. Robert Cutler was entered by Ephraim Hackett,
Ezekial Morrill, William Moor, James Head, Sr., James Head,
Jr., William Glines, Reuben Morrill, William Glines, Jr., Ec-
sign John Moor and William Forrest, Jr. ; many of them the
most prominent men in town. The nature of the church troubles
is imperfectly known. In 1757 John Moor was voted 72 pounds
for going three times to Durham "to call the committee to ac-
count that built the meeting house and sell the land for the
same and (see) what they have done with the money." By
August 9th, 1756, the outside of the new meeting house, located
on part of lot 116 at the growing "Center" was "finished and
the first floor laid double. ' ' Previously the whole community wor-
shipped in the primitive log church built just South of the little
' ' Tallant ' ' grave yard about a mile South of Canterbury Center.
Evidently the erection of a new house of worship was attended
by many difficulties and delays as well as disputes. Ensign John
Moor was active in promoting the cause of religion in the new
settlement and was, as we have seen, entrusted with the chief
responsibilities when the affairs of the church became deeply
involved.

In 1753 John Moor was on a committee to see that the pro-
ceeds from laying out the meadows be "worked out on high-
ways." In the same year he was on a committee "to take off
the boards of the fort and sell to the highest bidder and to set up
two lengths of the fort that are laid down and brace the rest as
they see fit. ' ' The town had been settled more or less for nearly
20 years yet it was still necessary to have a place of refuge in
good condition. At this time there was probably but one fort
though its location is not definitely determined. From the fact

76 The Descendants of

that a majority of the homesteads were in the Southern part of
town it was probably not far from the Moore locations. We
have seen that in 1758 a reference occurs in the town records
to ''the lower fort at the house of Samuel Moore."

In 1756 John Moor was on a Committee to "lay out the com-
mon meadows." In 1754 he had been Moderator of the town
meeting and in 1755 and 1756 he was Selectman. In 1758 he
was Moderator, Selectman and on a committee to examine the
accounts of the Selectmen. In this year he was Moderator at
three special town meetings. In 1759 he was Moderator and
Fence Viewer. He was Moderator at a special meeting June 12,
1760. He was then 64 years old and reached, about this period,
the limit of his activity and prominence. Later offices were all of
minor character, Tythingman in 1762, Surveyor of Highways in
1766, Hogreeve, 1768, and Hogreeve, 1769.

In the year 1761 Rev. Abiel Foster was settled as the first
minister of the tovm. Mr. Ezekial Morrill was Deacon, Among
the papers found by the late Henry Chamberlain of Three Oaks,
Mich., in searching New Hampshire for evidences of his ancestry,
was a document showing the true Christian character of our an-
cestor. That there was a quarrel or dispute with resulting bad
feeling (which came about the time John Moor ceased to be so
prominent in town affairs) is inferred and that the agreement
was the work of intercession by the young minister is to be sup-
posed from its presence among his papers. On a slip of yellowed
linen paper about three by seven inches is written:

ferences by engageing to over look & forgive all that we have

The paper is in the possession of Mr. Paul M, Chamberlain
of 1917 Diversey Ave., Chicago, 111,, son of the Hon. Henry-
Chamberlain, and is kept in safe deposit. The draughtsman
evidently began his form with the words "Mr. John Moor &
Mr." and but partially erased them. The spluttering quill of
Hackett, the condensed and brief autograph of John Moor
beneath the larger signature raise conjectures which can never
be solved. The survival of the agreement is remarkable and
may be regarded by us as Providential.

James Otis Lyford in his History of the Town of Canter-
bury (1912) recounting the early and important settlers has
the following:

' ' Ensign John Moore, the ancestor of the Mooers of Canter-
bury and of numerous descendants in all parts of the United
States, was one of the proprietors of the town. He drew home
lot No. 177, which he occupied temporarily at least about as
early as any settler who came to Canterbury. The cave can be
seen in this locality where he made his dwelling place until he
could erect a log house. He seems to have alternated between
his old home in Durham and his new abode in Canterbury for
several years, probably working at his trade as a shipwright to
earn money for the support of his family and for further pur-
chases in the new settlement. For four years, from 1750, when
the inhabitants first made selection of town officers from among
themselves, he was one of the selectmen, twice being chairman
of the board. His prominence in the community is further
attested by several elections as moderator and tythingman. He
was a large land owner, purchasing for himself and his family.
After twenty years of activity in town affairs he appears to
have given over the burden to his sons Archelaus and Samuel.

These two men were influential citizens until their death.
Besides holding all the important town offices they were among
the early justices of the peace for Rockingham County, resid-
ing in Canterbury. Samuel was also a deputy sheriff in 1772
and 1773. He kept the first tavern in town and left a large
estate at his death, which occurred in his fiftieth year. Until
his removal to Loudon late in life the name of Archelaus Moore

Note — The lot on which John Moor settled was No. 106, not 177. — H. P. M.

78 The Descendants of

constantly appears in the town records both as an office holder
and as a member of important committees. William and
Nathanial Moore, the eldest and youngest sons of Ensign John
were early honored by elections to important positions. In the
building of the town and in the shaping of its affairs no family
in Canterbury was more potential for half a century than the
Moores. ' '

The position of John Moor in the community is nowhere
better shown than in the order of names in the "wood rate"
(for providing the minister with fire wood) for the Rev. Abie!
Foster in 1762, in which all the inhabitants are listed with the
amounts to be donated. It began "Capt. Josiah Miles, Ensign
John Moor, (Deacon) Ezekial Morrill, Thomas Clough,
Ephraim Hackett, Henry Y. Brown, Lt. Archelaus Moor, Sam-
uel Moor, ' ' etc.

John Moor lived for nearly a quarter of a century after his
agreement with Mr. Hackett and for 26 years after he had
acted as Moderator for the last time in 1760. The later years
of his life were uneventful. His family had grown up around
him and his sons took their places in the town work long before
he relinquished his tasks, and continued long afterward. A few
transactions in real estate took place, the final one being a deed
acknowledged Dec. 24th, 1784 before his son, Archelaus Moore,
Justice of the Peace. In this for 300 pounds he sold to Ezekial
Moore of Canterbury, Yeoman, Lot 106, the original right of
Phillip Chesley, first division "where I now live" and also 12
acres of intervale land. John Moor was then 88 years old. His
wife, Hannah, died a little over a year later, and he followed
soon after. It is supposed that Ezekial, his grandson, home
from the Revolutionary War and not yet married, took care of
his aged grandparents. John Moor left no will. No admin-
istration of his estate is found of record probably because he
left no real estate and comparatively little personal property,
having disposed of everything before his death.

No portrait of Ensign John Moor or of his wife, Hannah,
was ever made. From characteristics of widely separated
branches of the family and from the findings of life insurance
companies that few men except those of medium size and slender
habit live to be 90 years old, we may assume that he conformed

Ensign John Moor 79

physically to that type and that he had blue eyes, light hair, a
somewhat prominent nose. Of the appearance of his wife.
Haiuiah Sias, we can form no idea save that there are some indi-
cations that she too was a medium height, probably also of
medium weight and with dark eyes.

In the household there may have been three spinsters or
unmarried daughters for we know nothing of Elizabeth, born
1724, Sarah, born 1729, and Hannah, born 1737. Had they
died or been married at the time the existing book of town
records in the hand of Town Clerk, Archelaus Moore, was
written up, we may believe that the facts would have been
recorded. The presumption is that they were alive and at home
in the useful but inconspicuous life of the family which, in
Canterbury, lasted over 35 years.

Under chapter headings each of the four sons, William,
Col. Archelaus, Capt. Samuel and Nathaniel and the other
daughter, Mary, comprising the remainder of the large family
of Ensign John Moor and his wife, Hannah Sias, will be found
with all that pertains to them and their descendants.

The death of Hannah, wife of John Moor, occurred Feb.
11, 1786. It was in the middle of Winter and burial was prob-
ably deferred. As her plain coffin was borne out of the humble
home the thread which connected John Moor with the past was
broken. She had been his companion in adversity and pros-
perity for 66 years. He lingered less than two months and
then the day after he passed his 90th birthday, he too went his
way. Without doubt, unless he was very sick, the 9th of April,
1696, the day of Ms birth, was remembered by his children and
their families, for there were 47 of his descendants then living
in Canterbury and vicinity. When that large company and
the community gazed on his aged face on the day of the funeral
they saw one of the last of the original settlers, a Grantee under
the Charter of 1727 from King George, a man who had looked
on Canterbury as a wilderness of forest, brook and pond, and
left it a prosperous and settled town comprising, with Loudon
and Northfield, nearly three thousand people, free and in-
dependent.

On that Spring day in April, 1786, when the leaves were
budding on the trees, the body of John Moor was laid in the

80 The Descendants of

ground, probably in company with that of his wife, the two
interments at one time. In the comer of the large burial
ground at Canterbury where the memorials of later generations
of the Moore family are to be seen there are rough field stones
which mark forgotten graves. It is supposed that in this por-
tion of the cemetery Ensign John Moor and Hannah rest.

Chapter IX.

WILLIAM MOORE.

ft^tKCJj

William Moore, the eldest child of John Moor and Hannah
Sias, was bom at Oyster River Parish (Now Durham), N. H.,
August 19, 1720, He was baptised in company with his
brothers Arehelaus and Samuel and sister Elizabeth, by the
Rev. Hugh Adams, Dec. 21, 1727, at Oyster River. In this
year the Charter of Canterbury was granted and his father
acquired rights there. For the first few years of clearing and
planting in that wilderness, William as the oldest child probably
stayed at home, taking on himself as far as possible his father's
duties, but as soon as it became needful to settle permanently
on the land, we may be sure that William accompanied his
father and helped to build the future home. This was done on
lot No. 106, bought by his father, John Moor, in 1733, "pro-
vided he settle." After " the Cave" had served its purpose
the building of the homestead took place about 1740.

The next the records speak of William is of the birth of his
first child, Agnes, Nov. 30, 1743. We infer that he was married
in 1742 or early in 1743 but the Canterbury town record (kept
for many years by his brother Arehelaus) is silent as to this,
stating stating only ''Margaret his wife born July 10th, 1723."
It is quite well settled, though not by documentary evidence,
that Margaret was a Forrest, the daughter of William Forrest
and Dubia, respectively of Irish and Scotch blood, early set-
tlers in Canterbury. Wm, Pitt Whidden was known to be a
second cousin to Mrs. Lucy R. H. Cross's mother. We learn
from Potter's Military History of New Hampshire that William
Forrest was a Scout from July to December, 1746, in the same
company with Arehelaus Moore and Henry Elkins. WiUiam
Moore was not of this company. At that time he was married,

(6)

82 The Descendants of

had lost one child (Agnes, who lived only six weeks) and had
had another, Sarah born December 31, 1744. It is probable
that the Forrests came to Canterbury as early as 1742 and that
their eldest daughter Margaret and William Moore became
acquainted there. William was engaged in the necessary work
of husbandry while his brother, Archelaus, helped in guarding,
or as it was called "scouting," such protection being necessary
during that period to prevent surprises by the Indians. Garris-
son houses or "Forts" were provided in various parts of the
town as places of refuge and they were resorted to many times
during scores of years following the first settlements.

In 1748 William Moor bought lot No. 55, the first land we
find that he secured. This was a 40 acre ' ' Home Lot ' ' which he
bought of his father, John Moor, who had acquired it in 1740,
"John Moor of Canterbury, shipright" of Benj. Jones of Dur-
ham. William paid his father 65 pounds for this lot, the latter
being described as ' ' shipright, of Durham ' ' indicating that John
Moor had not kept a settled residence in Canterbury. This
deed was not recorded until 1757. This lot was at the South
West corner of the North and South road and that road which
became known in later years as the (Dist. No. 1) School house
road, it being in the Southern part of the town. It was direc-
ly South of a "range road" between the lots of his brother,
Archelaus, acquired in 1745 and 1748. The year 1748, or pos-
sibly a year or two earlier, may have marked the separation of
the families of John and his sons, William and Archelaus, the
sons going to their own lands, leaving John Moor on his original
lot. No. 106. There is a tradition (transmitted by Mrs, Cross)
that the two brothers lived together but I can find no verifica-
tion of it. If true it was probably only during a few of the first
years in Canterbury.

There is no way of deciding upon the date of the erection of
the house William Moor placed upon his lot. No. 55, bought in
1748 of his father who had owned it since 1740. There is some
reason to believe that it was erected some years after its pur-
chase by William Moor. The house stands to-day with but
little, if any, alteration. It is a typical "first-settler" house,
one story with low eaves and small cornices. One of the latter,
hand made, of wood, was not even removed from the eaves of

Ensign John Moor 83

the building when the large wood-shed extending Northerly was
erected some time afterward. The large central chinmey re-
mains. Opposite the front door a cupboard door when opened
discloses the backs of three fire places grouped together. The
second story or attic was never finished off, remaining as
originally built, with rough flooring. The stairs to the attic
lead from the kitchen through a small door two steps up from
the first floor.

About 50 feet northwest of the dwelling stands the original
barn, it being in size about 36 by 40 feet and differing in no
essential particular from hundreds of other barns. Yet this
building is the one which was being "raised" the day a soli-
tary horseman appeared from the towns down the river and
bore the news that actual fighting had broken out between the
patriots and the British trops near Boston. A jollification, as
it was called, w^as going on, but the rest of that night was spent
by the neighbors and friends, so the tradition goes, in "run-
ning bullets." The old barn is still staunch for it was built
of heavy hewn timbers many of them forty feet in length.

About 1830 when the place was OAvned and occupied by
Adoniram Coburn, Mrs. Coburn's sister hanged herself in the
house.

The old structure, dating from the period of Canterbury's
wilderness, has seen and heard many strange things. Tragedy
and comedy, war and love, romance and drudgery, sickness and
revelling, all have had their parts and found their players.

In front of the door of the house stood until it was cut
down about 1905 a giant elm tree, its graceful branches falling
well over the roof, making a widespread shade. Samuel Gilman,
husband of the present owner and occupant, Mrs. Margaret
Slack Gilman, used to relate that when a boy (he was 69 years
old when he died in 1907) a very aged negro man used to visit
his father, reclining under the big elm to tell the story of his
youth when as the slave of Col. Archelaus Moore, who lived on
the next place, he once pulled up that very elm "to see if it
was growing" shortly after it was transplanted there, and was
roundly whipped for it. This slave was the famous Sampson
Battis (see chapter on Archelaus Moore) who was born in 1750
and died in Canterbury at the great age of 103 years, leaving

84 The Descendants of

many descendants, some of whom are still residents of Canter-
bury and vicinity*. He is said to have been over 6 feet tall,
very erect in carriage and in later years with hair as white as
snow. Samuel Gilman estimated the age of the tree at about
150 years when he cut it down. It is interesting and convinc-
ing that all of these dates, ages and traditions, corroborate each
other fully.

Elizabeth, the third child of William and Margaret Moore,
was born in 1747. It is her distinction to have lived more than a
century, longer than any other descendant of Ensign John
Moor. In 1749 Mary was born. She died in 1753. In 1752
Lj'dia was born. She died in 1755. In 1754 Joseph was born
and in 1757 William, Jr. Susannah, of whom nothing further
is known, was born in 1759 and in 1764 the last child "Janne"
(as the name is spelled in the town record) was bom. In the
recollections of the Forrest family she was known as "Aunt
Jennie." Owing to several deatlis in infancy the family of
William Moor was ne-ver a large one. It suggests several points
in the study of heredity.

In 1748, the same year he bought lot No. 55, William Moor
also purchased a wild and remote piece of land located in the
hilly part of Canterbury, north and east of where "the Center"
afterward came into being. It was bought of Nathaniel Lam-
mus of Dover to whom it was granted by the town "in place
of a lot that was lost in laying out the first division of lands. ' '
There is no No. 95 in the first division of 40-acre lots and evi-
dently a miscalculation was made, the proprietors' plan show-
ing No. 94 and 96 adjoining (they being the lots of Archelaus
Moore and his father) with nothing between. In 1764 WiUiam
bought lot 97, which was directly east of No. 55, his home place,
and the one on which the small dark house and barn shown in
the picture stand. In 1771 he sold this lot, Margaret signing
by "her mark," for 30 pounds to Benjamin West of Boscawen.
Evidently no house existed on it at that itme. Later, on its
northern edge, but above the road, school house No. 1 was
erected. William Moor bought of Henry and Mary Elkins (see

*In the United States census of Eevolutionary Pensioners, taken in
1840, he was given the age of 89 years, making his birth 1750 or 1751,

Ensign John Moor 85

Narrative relating to them) lots 45 and 46 (just west of those
of Archelaus) and presumably worked them as a part of his
farm. We cannot find that he ever sold any of these lots, ex-
cepting No. 97.

For some reason William Moor is not found on the "wood
rate" for the Rev. Mr. Foster in 1762 though all of his brothers
appear and also his father, who was then called "Ensign John
Moor." In 1764 "for fencing and clearing the parsonage"
he was assessed 12 pounds, 10 shillings as compared with 10
and 10 for his father, 19 and 10 for Archelaus and 24 pounds
for Samuel. In the "Town and County Counterpein for 1771"
the order of ages is preserved and the following amounts are
carried out, John Moor, 39, William, 41, Capt. Archelaus, 78,
Capt. Samuel, 111, and Nathaniel, 43. This gives a relatively
correct idea of their possessions.

In official life William Moor was not conspicuous. He was
Selectman in only one year, 1754, when he was also Hogreeve.
He was at various times between the ages of 32 to 69 (namely
in the years 1752, 1762, 1768, 1771, 1772, 1780, 1782, 1788 and
1789) Surveyor of Highways. This covers a long period and
shows an evenness of capacity. Beginning when the roads were
hardly more than bridle paths William Moor directed much
of the work, especially in the southern part of the town, of
improving the highways.

In 1754 William Moore and Henry Elkins, his brother-in-
law, were among the signers of a petition to the Provincial
Government for remission of their part of the taxes "until the
pressing dangers and difficulties of the war are over," meaning
the Indian and French and Indian warfare. William Moore
seems to have done no military service, but was frequently
styled "Lieutenant" in the town records.

Where the young children of William Moor and Margaret
were buried in 1744, 1754 and 1755 is not known. The first
interments in town were probably made near the first, or log,
meeting house, just on the north of the Moore locations and
about half a mile south of the present Canterbury Center
burial ground. The church at the Center was not built until
about 1756.

86 The Descendants of

After 1764, when Elizabeth married Nathaniel Glines, the
family of William Moore underwent no changes until his son,
Joseph, went to serve in the Revolutionary Army. It was said
that the next morning after the barn celebration and the night
of running bullets the man of the place "left for the war."
Joseph was the only one who would fit into this tradition. He
was born October 18, 1754 and at the time of the Battle of
Lexington was almost 21 years old. His younger brother,
"William, would have been too young and it is not likely that his
father, a man of 55 years of age, of whom no authenticated
military service is of record, would have gone. The only other
Moore of reasonable age was Nathaniel, 42 years old (youngest
brother of William, Sr.), who had a large family and who
certainly did not then live at this corner.

In 1782 William, Jr., married Mary Moore, his cousin,
daughter of his Uncle Samuel. In May, 1783, Capt. Joseph
Moore, 29 years old, home from the War, married Elizabeth
Whidden, 9 years younger. In March, 1785, "Jamie," the
youngest child, was married to Nathaniel Whidden, brother of
Elizabeth. Unaccounted for are the daughters Sarah, born 1744,
and Susannah, born 1759. They probably resided at home, un-
married.

In the first United States Census of 1790 William Moor is
credited with being the head of a family of 2 males over 14, 2
males under 14, and 4 females of various ages.

In the Forrest Grenealogy, published in 1897 by Mrs. Lucy
R. H. Cross, family traditions of her grandparents are given,
first that Dorothy Worthen, born in East Concord in 1763, lived
at William and Margaret Moore's. William Forrest went to
live at his Aunt Margaret's when he was 14 years old (in
1770). The acquaintance there made was followed, at the close
of his service in the Revolutionary War, of which there is a
most interesting account, by their marriage in 1782 and their
removal to a new home in the woods near Forrest Pond. Dor-
othy (Worthen) Forrest died in 1849 and related many stories
of early day^.

William Moore died in 1804, according to the town record
of Canterburj'-, at the ripe age of 84 years. Of his wife we
know nothing after her "mark" on the deed of 1771. The

Ensign John Moor 87

burial place of William and Margaret is miknown but presum-
ably it is in the Moore corner of the old cemetery at Canterbury
Center where many rough and unlettered stones attest ancient
interments.

There are comparatively and actually few descendants of
this line.

The homestead was probably always the home of William
Moore, Jr., and his wife, Mary. They had only 4 children who
lived to grow up. In 1819, she, a widow, at the age of 62, in
company with her son Nathan and his wife, Sally (Crosby),
sold the property to Adoniram Coburn for $1,000, deed not
recorded until 1828. Nathan and Sally had been married in
1815 and did not remain in Canterbury long. They removed
to Bristol where they raised a large family and made their
permanent home.

A deed given in 1823 from Coburn to Abraham Moore,
born 1799, son of John, the son of Nathaniel, furnishes us with
the first indication of the "old house in the corner" as a sep-
arate property. The price was only $80 and as no relationship
existed it must be presumed to have been a fair one. With so
much land available all over Canterbury it is hardly likely that
Mr. Coburn would have been willing to sell a quarter acre so
close to his o^Aai house and in the corner of the crossroads unless
a dwelling house on the lot furnished a reason. There is strong
probability that for many years a small house had stood on the
corner. If so, very interesting possibilities arise. The chiefest
of these is that it was probably built to serve as the first home
of William and Archelaus Moore, until they could build better
houses. It would also lend confirmation to the tradition in the
Forrest family that the two brothers lived together. They
could easily have operated their adjoining farms to advantage.
Neither family was very large at any time. John Moor, their
father, bought the lot in 1740, and it is likely that at a very
early date the two sons occupied the property which was then
at one of the most prominent crossroads in to^vn and on a
much-travelled highway. All of those who can recall the struc-
ture agree that it was an old house at the time of their earliest
recollection. Sylvanus C, Moore described it as "a low 'squat'
house, one story, not finished of¥ in the attic, not painted, and,

The Descendants of

about 1845 to 1850, much in need of repairs and not occupied
all of the time." In size it was probably much like the small
dark house now standing on lot 97 easterly across the road. It
could hardly have become an old house in the 25 years after
the deed was given in 1823, Abraham Moore removed to Massa-
chusetts and was married there in 1827. The house was occu-
pied by his father, John Moor, who was known as ** Uncle
Johnny Moore," a slender man of medium height, until his
death in 1837. Probably none of his children was born in it.
They are, some of them, known to have been born in the original
Ensign John Moor house (lot No. 106) "in the pasture." It is
said that Abraham Moore sold the property to Joseph W.
Scales and that the house was torn down in 1855 and the
materials sold to Stephen Currier, who used some of them in
building a barn about a mile southerly near the Concord line.
Another who recollects the time thinks some of the boards were
used to make a ' ' stake and withe ' ' fence. Capt. Samuel Gilman,
who owned the present William Moor dwelling on the main
part of the lot, finally purchased the quarter-acre "seven roods
square," and that was the end of its separate existence. "Within
recent times a depression could be seen where the cellar of this
small old house had been filled in, thus completing the physical
obliteration of this common but interesting object and making
difficult the reconstruction of its history in this generation.

COL. ARCHELAUS MOORE

a^d

t^/4rcAU.aiuJ ?/l^^^ijc^,i^^ ^i^'C*>.<it^ «—>

Col. Archelaus Moore, the second son of Ensign John
Moore and Hannah Sias was born in Oyster River Parish (now
Durham), Province of New Hampshire, April 6, 1722. About
that time the name Archelaus (pronounced in the Moore fam-
ily, ark'-e-los) is found in the colony three or four times. Arche-
laus (Matthew 2: 22) was one of the three sons of Herod who
divided his kingdom after his death. It is not known for whom
little Archelaus Moore was named. He named none of his
children after him though his brother Samuel and his son John
did and the name persisted in several later generations but
is now extinct.

At a point on a dividing line between Durham and Lee
where crystal Wednesday brook crosses the country road, pro-
viding old-fashioned watering for horses, little Archelaus passed
his childhood in the rather small and humble dwelling where
his parents reared their eight children, of almost uniform ages
from William, born 1720, to Mary, born 1740 ; 18 years. At the
school house he must have acquired that copper plate hand for
which he became noted. It may have furnished the reason for
his clerical preferment in the early days in Canterbuiy, but
we may be sure his many offices were the result of something
more substantial.

On the day before Christmas in the year 1727 he was bap-
tized with his brothers, William and Samuel, and sister Eliza-
beth, "children of John More" by the Rev. Hugh Adams. The
youngest was Samuel, in arms. The scene was doubtless in the
church at Durham, the eccentric minister of whom all the colony
was talking in later years, John Moor in the full vigor of his
manhood, Hannah, his wife, with some of her own people pres-
ent and the four children, making a picture we would give much
to have reproduced.

90 The Descendants of

Just when Archelaus Moore first visited the wilderness
called "Canterbury" on the Merrimack River, opposite Bos-
cawen, we cannot tell. His father, taking with him his eldest
sons, William and Archelaus, made various expeditions to look
over his granted and purchased lands soon after 1733, in which
year John Moore bought Phillip Chesley's lot No. 106, which
was sold "provided he settle." It is doubtful if either William
or Archelaus took up a permanent residence in Canterbury
much before 1740. When Archelaus was barely 21 years old
he made a purchase of land, buying in 1743 "one right in Can-
terbury lower intervale, the original lot of Joseph Smith of
Durham, deceased," No. 152.

When he was 23 years old he was married. It was at Ken-
sington, Sept. 19, 1745, by the Reverend Jeremiah Fogg, that
his hands Averc joined with those of Hannah Elkins, more than
three years his senior. They lived together 50 years. The
Elldns family is of Hampton, one of the oldest New Hampshire
towns (see Dow's History of that town) and the gravestone of
Hannah's grandfather, Deacon Gershom Elkins, may still be
seen, inscribed "G E 1718" in the oldest cemetery there, one
of the smallest and earliest lettered stones, now fallen and
almost covered by the pine needles of the uncared-for woods
on the site. Henry Elkins, the emigrant ancestor, father of
Gershom, was a tailor, admitted "Freeman" in Boston in 1635,
one of the first settlers of Exeter, N. H., and a signer of the
"Combination" there in 1639. He removed to Hampton by
1650. His will, April 27, 1667, mentions but two children,
Gershom and Eleazor. His wife, Mary, died in 1659. He died
Sept. 19, 1668, and was styled "Captain." Dow gives the birth
of Hannah one year previous to Canterbury records. Her
youngest brother, Henry Elkins, baptized 1729, appears on a
return by Capt. Jeremiah Clough, dated December 4, 1746, in
company with Archelaus Moore, it being entitled "A muster
roll of men guarding and scouting at Canterbury," and en-
dorsed: "In the House of Representatives, Dec. 4, 1746; Voted
that the within muster roll, amounting to 165 pounds, six shil-
lings and eleven pence, be allowed and paid out of the money
in the Treasury for the defence of the Government. D. Pierce,
Clerk. Read and concurred, Theodore Atkinson, Secretary.

Dec. 10, 1746, Assented to, B. Wentworth." Henry Elkins'
time Avas from July 4th to Dec. 4th, 154 days, Archelaus Moore's
time being- July 10th to December 4th, 148 days. Each received
wages something in excess of eight pounds. The muster roll of
this company is given in full on page 97 of Potter's Military
History of New Hampshire. Male descendants of Archelaus
are admitted, by this proof, to membership in the Society of
Colonial Wars.

On July 3rd, 1745, Archelaus Moore laid the foundations
cf his future home, three months before his marriage, by the
purchase of Abner Clough of Salisbury of the 40-acre home lot,
first division, of Jabez Davis of Durham. This was located on
the west side of a north and south "rangeway," which was
about that time made the main road, and it so remains to this
day. The lot, supposed to have been 125 rods long, faced on
the south and east and west "rangeway," which is a road also,
but little used now. The land is high and to the west Mount
Kearsage rises boldly on the horizon. Three years after his
marriage he bought, on Sept. 20, 1748, of the same party, the
40-acre lot adjoining on the north, making in all 100 rods on the
main road, the two lots, Nos. 56 and 57, being found in after
years to contain about 90 acres. The farm is still owned and
worked as it stood in 1748, in one piece. On the west, across
another "range," Henry and Mary Elkins bought a similar
double lot, Nos. 44 and 45. There they lived, Mary being the
3'oungest daughter of Archelaus, until 1765, when they sold to
William Moore, eldest brother of Archelaus. It cannot be told
whether Archelaus and Henry Elkins became acquainted in
Canterbury by reason of some previous scouting or whether the
associations of that strenuous Summer were the result of the
marriage brought on by an acquaintance in Kensington, a town
somewhat removed from Durham, though nearly as old, and,
like it, close to the seacoast.

We do not know where Hamiah (named for both his wiie
and his mother) was born on December 1, 1746, whether in
Durham or Canterbury. It is entirely probable, however, that
before the birth of John, the second child, Nov. 1, 1748, Arche-
laus had hegun to improve his property and had built him a
house, perhaps a part of it still standing as the "L" of the

92 The Descendants of

fine colonial farm house now owned and occupied by Kenneth
Pope on the original site. The two-story or main part was not
added till later though undoubtedly by Arehelaus Moore him-
self. The removal of the big central chimney and the extending
of eaves and cornices, giving the house its modern appearance,
is a matter of memory of living people. Two doors remain in
the L which show primitive construction and previous hanging.
The sheds and barn, adjoining on the west, are quite old. The
bam was formerly longer.

January 2, 1747, eighteen of the inhabitants, probably all
there were, signed their names to a petition for a grist mill.
Arehelaus, with his brothers William and Samuel, is found on
this list, but not John, their father. The inhabitants were
first taxed in 1742. In 1750 the town meetings were first held
in Canterbury, previously having been, for the convenience of
the proprietors, in Durham from which town most of the
settlers came. James Scales was the first minister and Town
Clerk and in 1750 it was "voted to have constant preaching
until a minister can be settled." Previous to 1750 the meeting
house was a log structure on the next north and south range-
way or road east of Arehelaus Moore's place and less than
half a mile, diagonally, from his house. The schoolhouse,
probably the first one in Canterbury, was later built not far
from his corner. The early Moore settlements were all south
of this first (log) meeting house. Toward the last of the occu-
pancy of that building they must have furnished a not incon-
siderable portion of its worshippers, going to the "village" or
"the Center" which by the slow processes of evolution was be-
coming established a half mile further north, when the new
meeting house, near the present site, was built.

Arehelaus Moore may have been a town officer before 1750
but the first book of records is not to be found. In that year
we discover him taking a prominent part in town affairs, being
Surveyor of Highways and Lot Layer beside, his father, Ensign
John Moor, being Selectman, and his brother William, Field
Driver. In the next year both he and his father are Selectmen
and again in 1755 and in 1756. In 1752 and 1754 he held no
offices of record and in 1753 only the humble one of Hogreeve.

Ensign John Moor 93

In 1756 at the special Town Meeting the young man of 34 years
was given the signal honor, the highest in dignity and prestige
in the town, of Moderator. This was an indication of energy
and capacity as well as standing in the eonununity. From this
time on he was continuously prominent in the town's business.
In 1758 he became Town Clerk as well as Town Treasurer. His
duties must have been laborious as well as important and we
may picture him, a man somewhat above middle height, tending
to the spare in figure, with blue eyes, prominent and somewhat
irregular features, bending over his evening's work at home,
methodically wielding his quill pen by the light of a tallow dip.
No man was better informed or more in touch with the progress
of events in the town and he was called upon more than once
to act in neighboring settlements, as the following extract from
Coffin's History of Boscawen and Webster will show:

"The log meeting house on King street had been in
use 34 years, since the first settlement. A committee was
appointed to select a site for a new meeting house. It
reported as follows: —

Boscawen, Sept. 8, 1767.
"We do hereby deliver it as our honest and impartial
judgment that it be erected on that sapling pine land about
10 or 12 rods from the road toward Jesse Flanders from
that knoll about Ephraim "Woodbury's, which was the last
voted place, and that this meeting house be placed for those
only that live on the Easterly side of Battle Street, so
called, and that those that live on the "Westerly side of said
street be exempted from any cost in building said house.
, As witness our hands, Ezekial Morrill, 1

Sinkler Bean, ICom."
Archelaus Moore,J

In 1766 the Town Meeting voted that Archelaus Moore
have ten shillings for the head of a wolf killed when John
Forrest was constable of Canterbury.

Becoming Town Clerk in a period when the town was being
rapidly settled and many changes in property were taking

94 The Descendants of

place, his signature on legal documents is probably more com-
mon than that of any other resident. This is more particularly
true because of his long service as a Justice of the Peace. In
the years 1762 and 1763 he was a Selectman and was designated
as "Lieutenant." From 1765 to 1772 he was Town Clerk,
being in two of the years Selectman beside. In 1773 he was
Selectman but not Town Clerk but in the following year he
again took up the clerkly office, remaining till 1779 when Abiel
Foster took the books for one year. Archelaus Moore resumed
the position in 1780, continuing without interruption until 1790
when David Ames took charge, there being no Moore on the
town Board for the first time since 1750, a period of forty years.
The years of service as Town Clerk were 25, almost consecu-
tively. He retired in his 68th year. At a special Town meet-
ing in 1779 he had been Moderator again.

The Revolutionary War broke out and was fought to its
conclusion during his official career. It is history that Col.
Archelaus Moore owned a slave Sampson, and promised him his
freedom for good fighting in the war. Of this slave, Bouton
(who began collecting his materials in 1830, publishing in 1853),
in the History of Concord, says: "William Coffin, father of
Samuel Coffin, Esq., owned a negro woman named Lucy. Samp-
son, a negro belonging to Archelaus Moore of Canterbury,
wanted her for his wife and there was an agreement that Samp-
son should work for one year for Mr. Coffin to pay for her. A
man's wages at that time were about $40 a year or the price of
a yoke of oxen. Sampson was a famous fiddler and for many
years afforded fine fun for frolicsome fellows in Concord with
his fiddle on election days."

The adoption of the Constitution in 1783 was considered as
abolishing slavery in New Hampshire. Sampson was already
free, however. His Military Record is as follows : He enlisted
in the company of Capt. Benjamin Sias (who married Arche-
laus Moore's youngest child, Abigail) and was at Fort Edward,
N. Y., at the time of General Burgoyne's Invasion, being in the
service at that time from October 4th to October 26th, 1777.
He is variously recorded as Sampson Moore, Sampson Battis,
Sampson Bates and Sampson Batt. He was a volunteer for
three months in Col. Thomas Stickney's regiment to fill the

Ensign John Moor 95

quota from Canterbury in 1781. In the same year he is on the
muster roll of Capt. Nathaniel Head's company. He enlisted
for three months on August 20. November 20 he is recorded
as a deserter. The government was probably through with this
company and Sampson anticipating his discharge (having
served his time) by going home without leave. The company
was actually discharged Nov. 25th. (See William Moore chap-
ter.)

In the Moore section of the burial ground at Canterbury
Center is a small white marble stone inscribed ' ' Sampson Battis,
Head 's Company, Reynold 's New Hampshire, Rev. War. ' ' Here
sleeps the old slave. There is neither birth nor death record
but a prouder one, doubtless nearer to his heart's choice. He
left descendants, one of them being Mr. Calvin D. Battis of
Boscawen. There was for generations affection and esteem be-
tween the two families and it is testified to to this day by living
descendants of Archelaus Moor in the far West. In 1802, John
Moore, son of Colonel Archelaus, leased to Sampson Battis for $1
for his natural life a lot in Canterbury between No. 51 and the
Concord line. This is the only document on the records but
tradition has it that his master, Col. Archelaus, gave Sampson
a 100-acre farm ''for good fighting in the Revolution."

In 1764 Archelaus bought of his brother Samuel, who is
then described as yeoman, lots 104 and 105, "being the same
place Samuel Moore bought of James Head with all the edefices
thereon, ' ' He sold these lots in 1772 to his son John " Jr. " who
in 1778 sold them with two others (148 and 174) to James Sher-
burne of Loudon for 400 pounds. They adjoined (the roadway
between) John Moore's homestead lot No. 106. Many years
afterward one-armed James Moore and his sister Hannah lived
for a while on this place, they being grandchildren of Nathaniel,
youngest brother of Col, Archelaus.

Loudon was set off as a separate town in 1773. Archelaus
Moore and his son John and his son-in-law Capt. Benj. Sias
owned property in that part of Canterbury and in 1780 they
appear on the tax lists of Loudon, though the valuations indi-
cate unimproved lands. In 1774 a road was laid out "from
Capt, Sias's mill to John Moore's comer," John Moore, even
though selling his Canterbury property in 1778, was stiU in

96 The Descendants of

1784 a Highway Surveyor in Canterbury. In 1782 Arehelaus
Moore, "Esquire" of Canterbury sold for 9 pounds 20 acres,
being one-half of 40-acre lot No. 52.

March 25, 1756, Elkins, infant son of Arehelaus and Han-
nah (Elkins) Moore (Bed. The new meeting house at "The
Center" was not "finished and the first floor laid double" until
August 9th of that year and it is doubtful if burying had begun
in the church yard there. It is probable that the boy was laid
away in the little burial ground at the old log meeting house.
This was on the hill, near the late residence of John P. Kimball,
just south of what is known as "the Tallant burying ground."
No trace remains of any graves and the exact site of the first
log church has not been fixed. The next death in any of the
families was likewise in that of Arehelaus. The record of his
family in the town book has following all the other entries,
"Hannah Clough died April 6, 1770." It is not known whether
Clough was her middle name or she married a Clough. She
was 24 years old. After the marriage of their daughter, Abi-
gail, to Capt. Benjamin Sias in 1771, the old people were left
alone but continued to live on the old place until January 2,
1790, when they sold it to Simon Stevens of Loudon for 330
pounds. About this time they moved to Loudon to live with
their son, John Moore, for Aug, 10, 1792, we find Col. Arehelaus
Moore chosen Moderator of the Loudon town meeting. The last
signature of his to be found on any document is of January
7, 1795. He was then 73 years old and a Justice of the Peace.

In the Shepard family Bible (owned by J. 0. Sanborn,
Esq., of Hingham Center, Mass.) the only known record of the
deaths of Col. Arehelaus and his wife is found. He died July
20, 1798, in his 77th year, and she died Dec. 9th, 1815, in her
97th year. Their son John survived his mother only six weeks,
both deaths being in the dead of Winter. In 1800 their
daughter, Abigail Sias of Danville, Caledonia County, Vermont,
deeded to John Moore of Loudon (her brother) "all my rights
in and to certain lands and heriditaments of my late father
Arehelaus Moore of said Loudon."

In the Moore row of graves in the cemetery back of the
church and town house in Loudon on Clough 's Hill, was a
sunken fieldstone on which was discovered in faint characters

Ensign John Moor 97

the initials "A M. " There was a similar stone beside it but
without letters. Two others without letters beside hers are
understood to have been those of John Moore and his wife. It
is tradition that all four died in the same room. During a
''clean up" of the older portion of the cemetery in 1915 an
act of the grossest vandalism was perpetrated. While all the
graves with inscribed stones were "lined up" all the unmarked
and rough stones of the early settlers were pulled up and
thrown away or used to bolster up leaning headstones, thus
obliterating in most cases all traces of the hallowed resting
places. The four graves mentioned above are known and will
be permanently marked.

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife;
There they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife;
and there I buried Leah.

Of heirlooms known to have been the property of Archelaus
Moore there are two, both chairs, one still in the possession of
Mrs. John B. Moore of Belmont, N. H., and the other now owned
by Howard P. Moore of White Plains, N. Y. The latter chair,
infirm from constant service in the kitchen of John B. Moore
and his father and grandfather, had a perfectly straight back,
and a splint bottom and was painted red. On the back is the
original inscription "A M L" (Archelaus Moore, Loudon). It
has been completely built over and re-seated and is in good
condition for 125 years more service. It is said to have been
used by Archelaus Moore in church when he played the violon-
cello there.

Chapter XI.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL MOORE

^i^C "^'""^^ ^"^ T-K^,^:^ ^- jUt^^

Captain Samuel Moore (son of Ensign John Moor), the
first inn-keeper in Canterbury and a very prominent man in
the town at the time of his death, was born in Durham, N. H.
Sept. 13, 1726. He was baptized the day before Christmas of
the year 1727 in company with his elder brothers William and
Archelaus and his sister Elizabeth. His boyhood was spent at
the homestead in Durham. Samuel came to Canterbury about
as early as a young man could and in September, 1745, at the
age of 19 we find him for about a month scouting with Lieut.
Miles' company to the Pemigewasset River and its branches.
He also kept garrison at Canterbury under Capt. Jeremiah
Clough from May 9 to Nov. 20, 1747 (Potter's Military History
of N. H., p. 98).

Owing to the presence in New Hampshire of another Sam-
uel Moor as well as another Ensign John Moor, about this time,
confusion is likely to result from the recurrence of these names,
which, except in the foregoing cases, refer always to the Scotch-
Irish Moores of Londonderry and vicinity. No military service
can be found for Canterbury Samuel Moore after 1747 although
there is a tradition, which does not seem to be well founded,
that he held a commission from the King and when the war
broke out resigned it and fought for the colonies.

In 1748 when Samuel Moore was 22 years of age he bought
of Samuel Waters of Portsmouth for 180 pounds the whole pro-
prietor's right or share in Canterbury of William Fellows, late

Ensign John Moor 99

of Portsmouth, being home lot No. 61 of 40 acres, "except 10
acres heretofore sold to Henry Rines. ' ' This deed was acknowl-
edged in Portsmouth by Waters before Samuel Moore, uncle of
Samuel of Canterbury (see Chapter on Portsmouth), and it is
probable that young Samuel was present when the papers were
signed and received the approval of his wealthy and prominent
uncle whose name he bore. In 1745 Col. Samuel commanded
the successful New Hampshire troops at the taking of Louis-
burgh and a year afterward he sailed for London for greater
things but died there in 1749. Lot 61 covered what afterward
became the Tavern property or, possibly, the lot just south of
those buildings. On September 4, 1750, he, described in deed
as "husbandman," sold one-half of lot 124, which probably
embraced part of Morrill Pond.

About this time Samuel Moore was married. There is
nothing to indicate the family of his wife but her Christian
name was Joanna and her signature on a deed is all that re-
mains of her. She wrote in a clear bold hand under her husband
on the Judkins deed (of lot 113) Dec. 21, 1768. She was men-
tioned in certain other deeds in 1759, 1767 and 1768. Their
first child was Samuel, born October, 1751, and her last John,
born Feb. 27, 1769. After giving birth to eight children and
filling the requirements of an unusually active life, beset with
the responsibilities of the matron of a busy and growing host-
lery, covering a period of nearly 20 years, she died. The date
of her death and the place of her burial are unknown. She is
probably interred in the Moore corner of the large cemetery at
Canterbury Center for the meeting house was finished there
about 1756 and burials probably took place very soon after the
old meeting house (of logs) about half a mjle below was dis-
continued.

In 1751 when Samuel Moore was 25 years old he was elected
a Field Viewer. From 1755 to 1758, four years, he was High-
way Surveyor and in 1759 he was elected Selectman. In 1765
he was Moderator of the town meeting and on a Committee to
examine the accounts of the Selectmen. In 1767 he with Joseph
Sias of Durham (a distant cousin) was appointed to settle the
question of boundary line between Canterbury and Chichester.
In 1770 the same committee was ordered to prosecute to final

100 The Descendants of

judgment the suit growing out of the boundary dispute, which
evidently was not settled before. In 1771 in company with
Archelaus Moore he was voted two pounds and ten shillings for
moving the Rev. Abiel Foster to Canterbury. His last office
seems to have been that of Constable in 1775.

Probably shortly after 1750 (for he is described as "hus-
bandman" in that year) Samuel Moore built and began to keep
the Tavern. There is a tradition that it was originally con-
ducted at or near his father's home, and that the business was
moved to the satisfaction of all to a new location. This was on
the north and south road, one of the original "rangeways. "
When begun Canterbury Center was unknown. Owing to the
north and south travel it proved to be rightly placed. The
town records show that in 1756 an auction sale was advertised
to take place at the house of "Samuel Moore, Inholder." The
growth of the town became very rapid soon after the Tavern
was built and the prosperity that came to Capt. Samuel Moore
is reflected in the many land transactions made by him, the
buying and selling of lots in Boscawen, Canterbury and other
places. At Concord, in the State House, are original Court
records taken from Portsmouth, the County seat, showing va-
rious actions at law by Samuel Moore. One in 1765 against an
Amherst citizen recovered, in 1768, 5 pounds on a note, with
costs. In 1762 a Pembroke party gave a note to Samuel Moore
for 285 pounds, the bill of costs being over 10 pounds and
"travel 130 miles." In 1769 Samuel Moore, by Peter Green,
his attorney, brought a similar suit and another in 1770.

In 1762 Samuel Moor paid on a "wood rate" for Rev, Mr.
Foster the third largest amount out of 49 rate payers. He was
then only 36 years old and he surpassed in property value his
father, Ensign John, and elder brother, Archelaus (the oldest
brother William not being mentioned), thus showing his rapid
accumulation of property. In the year 1764 he was again third.
In "The Town and County Counterpein for 1771" he was the
largest taxpayer in town save only the two Jeremiah Cloughs,
father and son.

A reduced photographic copy is presented of a note which
Capt. Samuel Moor gave Jan. 10, 1769, to Caleb Masten of New-
market and on which he was sued. He was also sued May 19,

Tavern of Capt. Samuel Moor, after removal of central chimney, but
before recent restoration. About 1903.

Ensign John Moor 101

1770, by Daniel Chandler of Canterbury on a note for fifteen
pounds, given "May ye 6tli, 1769."

Capt. Samuel Moore, left at the death of his wife with a
large family of young children and a big establishment, was
not long in making a second choice, in fact only a little over 7
months from the birth of John^ raising the presumption that
Joanna may have died at that time or shortly after. He was
married by the Rev. Samuel Perley to "Susannah Webster of
Boskwine" on Sept. 9, 1769. For some reason they went to
Seabrook where Mr. Perley was then settled, to be married.
The parentage of Susannah was a quest worthy of the fine
genealogist to whom the task was entrusted. Starting with the
assumption that the neighboring Boscawen Webster families
were indicated the hunt began and all the Websters of the New
England colonies were examined, owing to the desire of the
late Hon. Henry Chamberlain of Three Oaks, Mich,, to trace
his ancestry. Finally by a process of elimination, Prof. Shar-
pies, who is "headquarters" for Webster information in Amer-
ica, decided that Susannah could only be the daughter of Ste-
phen and Hannah (Swett) Webster of Salisbury, Mass., born
Nov. 7, 1742. She married there Reuben Webster (son of
Nathan and Mary Webster) in June, 1765. He being drowned
Feb. 29, 1766, she took what little property there was left for
necessaries, June 29, 1769. She was a poor widow, without
children, and was 16 years younger than Capt. Samuel Moore.
Some years after the above conclusion was reached Mr. Cham-
berlain discovered an unrecorded deed which proved beyond
the shadow of a doubt that the parentage of Susannah Webster
was as Prof. Sharpies had declared.

The step-mother came to a busy household and semi-public
station and was equal to the enormous activities required of her.
Her first child was Reuben born Feb. 18, 1770. It was 5 years
before the next child, a girl, who was named for her mother,
came to the populous Irui. The last child was Stephen, born
July 5, 1776. Alas, seven months before he saw the light his
father died. On the first day of the year 1776, Capt. Samuel
Moore was called to his rest. Nothing has been discovered to
show how and where he met his death. That he did not die of
a lingering illness is probable, nor is there any evidence that

102 The Descendants of

he met a violent end. Newspapers of the period have been
searched for some mention of the event, but without result.
He died without a will. Susannah, his widow, was appointed
Administratrix of the estate, and it is noteworthy that Arche-
laus Moore and his immediate family assisted largely in the
work. William and Ensign John are not mentioned. On the
Bond of Susannah for the children Eeuben, Susannah and Ste-
phen, were Stephen Webster and Thomas Clough. On the Bond
of Archelaus Moore, Guardian of Mary ' ' upwards of 14 " John,
Archelaus and Hannah, ** under 14" were John Moore, Jr. (son
of Archelaus) and Henry Elkins of Hampton, brother-in-law
of the deceased. Henry Elkins was Guardian for Thomas.
Samuel, Jr., Joanna and Elkins had no Guardains, all but the
latter being over 21. In this year, 1776, Elkins enlisted in the
Kevolutionary Army (Capt. Robinson's Co.) at the age of 19.

David McCrillis, a blacksmith at Canterbury Center, came
to the tavern, after the death of Capt. Samuel Moore, and did
a great deal of Avork about the place. After a time, a little over
a year. Widow Susannah Moore married him, although he was
12 years younger than she. "Might as well take him, I owe
him so much," she is reported to have said. He, of course,
conducted the tavern from that time until his death, a period
of almost 50 years. They had three children:

Betsey, b, Aug. 8, 1780, married Nathan Emery, 1798.
Hannah, b. Feb. 13, 1782, married Jacob Blanchard, 1807.
Nancy, b. Aug. 14, 1783, married Nehemiah Clough, Jr.,
1800.

The descendants of these children are numerous, but as
they are not of Moore blood they have not been genealogized
for this work. In the New Hampshire ''Patriot" of June, 1825,
was this announcement, "Died in Canterbury, very suddenly,
Col. David McCrillis, aged about 70. A worthy citizen." He
died of heart disease but in the full possession of his senses and
remarked to the doctor, "It's a great thing to change worlds."
He was a tall man and had a pointed nose, a characteristic of
the McCrillis family. Susannah (Webster-Moore) McCrillis
died Jan. 7, 1822, aged 79. They are buried in the Moore sec-

Ensign John Moor 103

tion of the Canterbury Center yard, with headstones. He was
born Sept. 2, 1754, and died May 31, 1825, at 70. After the
death of Susannah, Col. McCrillis married the widow Gerrish
of Boscawen. At his death dower was set off to her and later
the estate ($5,285 real and $2,261 personal) was divided be-
tween the three children of David and Susannah, the widow
declining to take administration and recommending Ezekial
Morrill, Esq., of Canterbury. It was the latter 's great-grand-
daughter who had the papers that proved the Webster lineage
so happily.

On March 16, 1775, Capt. Samuel Moor was "a constable"
but appears to have been the only one elected. He died on
Jan, 1, 1776. On January 7th a call was signed by Archelaus
Moore, David Morrill and Ed. Blanchard, Selectmen of Canter-
bury, for a special town meeting for Feb. 12th to choose a eon-
stable or collector, Wm, Glines was chosen "for year 1775"
and voted $10 for services, March 28th, 1776, it was voted to
pay Widow Susannah Moore 12 shillings and sixpence, lawful
money, for expenses when the selectmen and committee stayed
at her house settling accounts for several years back and 10
shillings for a blanket that was lost in Capt. Clough's Company
when they went on the "Lexington Alarm." It was also voted
that Archelaus have 15 shillings "for settling with said com-
mittee and collecting papers relative to said business." It was
quite evident that Capt. Samuel's life came to a sudden and
unexpected end but whether in connection with the Eevolu-
tionary preparations or not cannot be ascertained.

The work of settling the estate of Samuel Moore, after his
sudden death Jan. 1, 1776, proceeded slowly. It was not until
July 10, 1779, that the inventory was filed by the appraisers,
Stephen Gerrish, Nathaniel Batchelder and David Foster. There
were in all 995 acres of land in Canterbury, Loudon, Boscawen
and Tamworth, 22 parcels, of which, of course, the homestead
(the Tavern) was the most valuable, at 854 pounds. Of the
personal property there were only eleven beds (not so many
for a large tavern), 2 carts, 3 plows, 23 sheep, 8 swine, 1 horse,
19 cows, "heffers" and "stears," 2 coats, 1 great coat, 2 jackets,
2 pairs breeches, 2 pairs stockings, 2 pairs boots, 1 hat, 1 watch,
1 pair knee buckles, 1 pair money scales, 1 saddle, 1 saddle bag,

a trunk, 1 case drawers, 1 desk, 2 tables, one-half dozen black
"chers," 22 ditto, 1 doz. plates, 30 weight old pewter, 1 side
ladle, 1 glass, 1 pair flatirons, 1 great & toasting ditto, 2 pairs
hand irons, 1 kettle, 1 pot, 1 hand saw, 1 pair stillyards, 1 pair
yoke irons, 1 cheine, 1 harrow, 3 forks, 1 beedle and wedges,
1 sleigh, 1 cheine wt., 1 cap and pin weight. Among the per-
sonal property we find the following also, "1 Pew in the meet-
ing house, 5 pounds" and "1 man slave 40 pounds." The total
of the inventory was the sum of 1684 pounds, a large sum in
those days before the depreciated Continental Currency. No
doubt Captain Samuel died the richest man in town.

Peter Green, the attorney for Samuel Moore, in 1779 re-
ceived a deed from his estate for 40 acres of land, the original
right of John Odiorne, lot 60. The consideration was $5,540,
which, even in the inflated currency of that period, would indi-
cate a high cost of legal services in those days, if such was the
nature of the transaction.

John S. Blanchard of Concord, grandson of Hannah McCril-
lis, has the Susannah (Webster-Moore) McCrillis Bible. The
leaf of the Moore record is nearly gone but the rest is well pre-
served. With it is a water-colored sheet, dimmed with age,
also giving the family record, probably done by some traveling
artist.

Col. David McCrillis pointed out to his grandson, John T.
G. Emery (born 1799), the "old Moore cave" where Ensign
John Moor first dwelt in Canterbury, which Emery pointed
out to Sylvanus C. Moore (born 1830), who pointed it out to the
compiler of this Genealogy in 1909.

The record of the old Tavern with its five proprietors is
remarkable. First Samuel Moore from about 1750 until 1776,
then his widow for about 13 months, then Col. David McCrillis
for 48 years, then Jacob and Nahum Blanchard, father and son,
from 1825 to about 1850, in all a period of one hundred years.
It sheltered in their declining years and until their death Col.
McCrillis 's aged father and mother, Scotch-Irish people bom
1700 and 1716 respectively, who lived together for 60 years and
died at 93 and 92 years of age. The tavern is now owned by
Ethel Blanchard Stearns of Winchester, Mass., and is used by
her as a summer residence.

The trim and modern house of to-day resembles but
little the ancient hostelry. Many changes took place after the
days of stage coaches, but some of the oldest inhabitants can
remember the tavern sign hanging from its pole across the road
from the house, also the large addition (possibly the first part
built and moved back) on the south, with the kitchens, etc.,
in it. There were ells on the north and a baiting shed, cow sheds
and barns attached, and back of them sheep barns. Across the
road was the blacksmith shop and south of that was a cider
mill. Originally there was a two-story porch across the front
of the building, two entrances, one leading to a winding and
the other to the main staircase. The northeast chamber has been
left with its wide panelling of wood, wonderfully clear pine,
taken from the virgin forest, painted white. The present barn
is modern. The whole place was remodeled about 1878 and
an immense chimney was taken out of the center of the house
and two smaller chimneys built. Albert Blanchard could just
remember the old stage coaches and the bar and bar room, all
of which ceased before 1850. Oh, could we look in on the stal-
wart proprietor, Capt. Samuel Moore, in 1775, take part in the
bustle and excitement of arrivals, feel the zest of entertainment
and listen to the cheery departure of travellers, in those days
gone never to come again !

Chapter XII.

NATHANIEL MOORE

The discovery of the Nathaniel Moore line was made possi-
ble principally through a letter written in 1880 from Seattle,
Washington Territory, by Horatio Nelson Moore to a cousin in
New Hampshire. In it he gave the sons and daughters of his
grandfather, Nathaniel, "nine who lived to grow up," and
their children. In neither Canterbury nor Loudon is the fam-
ily recorded. The omission is somewhat singular as the family
resided in each town for many years.

Nathaniel Moore was born in Oyster River Parish, now
Durham, N. H., May 16, 1733. Two months before his father
and mother, John and Hannah Moor, sold the homestead pur-
chased in 1722 to Samuel Smith of Durham. In August after
Nathaniel's birth, they bought of the same party "a share in
the new town of Canterbury" it being home lot 126. Thus
little Nathaniel, named from no one in either the father's or
mother's family as far as known, w^as ushered into the world at
a time of transition and uncertainty. His baptism is not re-
corded. We hear nothing of him until 1754 when he was in the
Merrimack River Service under Col, Joseph Blanchard (State
Papers, N. H., Vol. 6, Potter's list, 2117019) thus giving him a
Colonial War Record. He was then 21 years of age. In the
next year he was elected a field driver by the town of Canter-
bury. In 1756 his father, Ensign John Moor, sold to him 100
acres, the right of Phillip Chesley, lot 161.

Nathaniel Moore married Elizabeth Morrill, daughter of
Dea. Ezekial Morrill (1707-1783), one of Canterbury's leading
citizens, grandson of Abraham Morrill, Cambridge, Mass., 1632,
Salisbury, 1641, died 1662. Elizabeth was born March 2, 1739,
probably in Canterbury, and if so one of the first white children
in town. She could not write her name. Schools were not estab-
lished in Canterbury until about 1758 when she was nearly of
age and married. She was probably married to Nathaniel
Moore about 1756, no record existing.

Ensign John Moor 107

The 100-acre lot being then in a wild and unsettled part of
town, Nathaniel bought, July 16, 1757, of his uncle Joseph Sias
and Aunt Ruth (which was the original right of her father,
Francis Mathes), the 40-acre lot adjoining that of John Moor
on the north.

In the year 1759 Nathaniel was Field Driver and again in
1761 and again in 1775. In 1763, 1770 and 1777 he was High-
way Surveyor, in 1767 Tythingman, in 1768 Fence Viewer, in
1765 Constable (probably Collector of Taxes) and in 1772 and
1775 he was Hogreeve. These are the only offices he seems to
have held in Canterbury.

In spite of numerous land transactions the signature of
Nathaniel Moore does not seem to have been preserved. Among
other deals he bought in 1765 an acre of land in "the Gore," in
1767 half of hundred-acre lot 35 in 1770, with David Morrill, he
sold 10 acres in "The Intervale." In 1774 he sold 28 acres on
the pine plain. June 18, 1776, Nathaniel Moore, yeoman, and
Elizabeth, who relinquished her dower, signing by "her mark,"
sold for 52 pounds the 100-acre lot 169, "which now falls in
the parish of Loudon," In 1762 his name appears on the "wood
rate" for the Hev. Mr. Foster and in 1764 he paid his share
for fencing the parsonage. In 1771 he was on the "Town and
County Counterpein. " In 1785, when he is described as of
Loudon, he sold one quarter of 100 acres "struck off to Deacon
Ezekial Morrill of said Canterbury." On March 24, 1785, he,
Nathaniel Moore of Loudon, sold to his son Ezekial for 50
pounds the 40-acre home lot No. 107, the same which he bought
in 1757, adjoining his father's lot No. 106, It is quite probable
that Nathaniel lived on this lot between 20 and 30 years and
that most of his children were born there. As far as can
be determined there were no buildings on this lot, now pasture
land running in common with lot 106, except possibly where a
depression filled with stones is seen, still pointed out as the site
of a "fort" or block house.

The cleaning up of land affairs in 1785 is an indication that
Nathaniel was moving permanently to Loudon. Ensign John
Moor, his father, was now very old, being 89, and in 1784 had
sold his home to his grandson Ezekial. Probably Ezekial went
to live with his grandfather and grandmother to take care of

108 The Descendants of

them for the remainder of their days. He was only 21 years old
and had not long to perform this duty for the old people passed
away in the winter and spring of 1786.

In 1784 Nathaniel Moore of London and Elizabeth sold to
Ezekial for 121 pounds 60 acres ' ' being part of the 100-acre lot,
first division, No. 165 of John Smith, on which I now live," this
deed being executed in the presence of Nathaniel, Jr., and
Josiah Moore, their sons, the dates of whose births we do not
know. In 1793 another deed was given of the lot without stat-
ing "on which I now live." This lot. No. 165, was where
Nathaniel Moore lived while in Loudon. It is in the South
Western part of the town, high land, sloping down nearly to the
Soucook River, all on the west side of the north and south
"range" road just south of where it takes a turn to the east.
The view to the west is extensive. Here, until about 1890 were
two houses probably about 100 years old, on portions of the
original lot the exact bounds of which could be determined by
careful search and comparison of deeds of subsequent owners.
The map of 1858 shows the name of C. Sargent, the 1892 map,
the name of P. Sargent and the place south of it, 1858, J. Wells,
both being owned by the late Eugene Dixon Moore. The only
remaining buildings, a house and shop or barn, being compara-
tively modem. These places are a portion of a mile north of
the residence of W. H. Sanborn.

In 1790, in the first United States Census, only one Na-
thaniel Moore is given in Loudon and none in Canterbury. In
1793 Nathaniel was elected a field viewer in Loudon.

The letter of H. N. Moore said of the daughters of Nathan-
iel and Elizabeth, "One, a female, died in the poor house in
lioudon. She must have been about 100 years old. One married
a Danford and lived in Orange, Elizabeth married Joseph Ben-
nett, Abigail or 'Aunt Nabby' as she used to be called, remained
unmarried." He said, "Of the boys there was five of them,
Ezekial, Joseph who married a Sargent, John who married a
Davis, Jonathan who married a G-lines, and David who married
Hannah Buswell." He then gave the names of the children of
Josiah, omitting entirely James Moore, the one-armed, but giv-
ing the children of John, Jonathan and David correctly. He
did not give the children of Ezekial, possibly because he was

Ensign John Moor 109

writing to his brother, Van Rensselaer, for the benefit of his
cousin, Col. Matthias Moore, who was a son of Ezekial. In
stating that none of his ancestors took part in the Revolutionary
War, the War of 1812 or the War of the Rebellion, he was cor-
rect as to the first named war, although Col. Matthias may have
felt that the services of H. N. Moore's uncle, Ezekial, were
worth mentioning. Ezekial 's widow in 1855 was unable to se-
cure a pension only because her husband had not served the
required 6 months. He was very active for the period of his
service being stationed at Portsmouth and was at West Point
when Arnold's treason was discovered and at Tappan he saw
Major Andre executed. H. N. Moore's recollection was not
perfect, as witness, "Matthias says he has written to New York
to find out who the descendants of Uncle Nathaniel are * * *
I do not remember hearing of an Uncle Nathaniel. ' ' This refers
to the Nathaniel Moore, Junior, who had the three children born
in Orange, N. H. : Hiram, True and Rufus. This line has dis-
appeared entirely. There are undoubtedly descendants some-
where, possibly in New York State.

As to the date of the births of the children of Nathaniel
Moore (Sr.), we only know that Ezekial was born in 1763 and
may have been the eldest, John in 1765, Jonathan in 1775 and
David in 1779. Elizabeth Morrill, wife of Nathaniel Moore, died
Nov. 1807, at the age of 70 years. Nathaniel Moore died Feb. 14,
1817, at the age of 83 years, 9 mos., almost exactly the age of
his eldest brother, Lt. William Moore. Archelaus Moore his
next oldest brother, once living near by him in Loudon, had
died nearly 20 years before at the age of 76. Capt. Samuel
was the only one who died comparatively young ; in 1776, at 50,
Ensign John Moor, their father, and his wife, Hannah Sias,
their mother, each lived to be 90 years old.

Nathaniel Moore ceased to be taxed in Loudon 20 years
before his death, which is not recorded in that town. His name
appears on the tax lists regularly up to and including the year
1796. Had he and his wife died near Loudon it is probable that
marked gravestones would be found in the large cemetery in
the rear of the Baptist meeting house, only a portion of a mile
from their old farm. None of his children continued to live in

110 The Descendants of

Loudon after their marriage. Nathaniel probably lived in his
later years with one of them in some other town.

The family of Millard F, Emery of Tilton treasures a chair
said by his mother (Judith G, Moore, bom 1807, died 1889) to
have belonged to her grandfather or to her great-grandfather.
If the former, which is the more probable case, it was Nathaniel
Moore, but if the latter the chair belonged to Ensign John Moor
himself. William D. Moore, her brother, put rockers on it. It
is a fine arm chair in excellent preservation.

CAPT. HENRY ELKINS AND MARY MOORE

By his marriage to Hannah Elkins, Sept 19, 1745, Arche-
laus Moore was probably the cause of young Henry Elkins
coming to Canterbury in his seventeenth year. He was bap-
tized at Hampton, where he was born, March 19, 1729, the
youngest child of Thomas Elkins and Hannah Fogg. He was
10 years younger than his sister who married Archelaus Moore.
From December, 1746, till the following month young Elkins
was a member of Capt. Jeremiah Clough's scouting party and
also acted for the protection of the inhabitants of Canterbury
against the Indians. Shortly afterward he with Samuel Moore
and nine others petitioned the Provincial Government for
wages and board for keeping garrison. From July 4th, till
December 4th, 1747, Henry Elkins served with Archelaus Moore
in Captain Clough's company against the Indians (Potter's
Mil. Hist. N. H. p. 97). In 1754 he with William Moore and
others petitioned for a remission of certain taxes. In 1761
Henry Elkins had his cattle "mark" registered. The records
of the Canterbury Church indicate that some time between 1761
and 1771 Henry Elkins and his wife owned the covenant, that
is, joined the church.

The marriage of Henry Elkins to Mary Moore probably
took place in the year 1757, her 17th, for in April, 1758, their
first child, Hannah, was born in Canterbury as were the next
five children in all probability. It was a time of extreme peril
from Indian attacks. Their home Avas close to the Merrimack
River and on the edge of the Canterbury settlements.

Ensign John Moor 111

Some time before 1764 Henry Elkins and Mary bought
the two 40-acre lots lying west of and adjoining the two lots of
Col. Archelaus Moore, her brother. They were numbered 44
and 45. In 1764 Henry Elkins, Archelaus and William Moore
Enoch Webster and Enoch and Ann Curry petitioned to
be included in the town of Canterbury owing to the uncertainty
as to whether the "gore" in which their farms lay was in Can-
terbury or the town of Bow. In January, 1765, their petition
was granted.

Henry Elkins was on the tax lists for 1764, 1767 and 1769.
He was not on those for 1770 or 1771. What property he had
for assessment after 1765 is not known for in that year Henry
and Mary Elkins sold their lots (44 and 45) to William Moore,
her brother, "together with the buildings" which they had
probably built. There are said to be no traces of any buildings
there at the present time.

For some reason the family decided about this time to move
to Hampton. The earliest date indicating a transfer is the year
1773. It is recorded in the Hampton records that on Sunday,
Aug, 22nd, lightning struck eight trees within a short distance
of Captain Henry Elkins' house. According to a map of 1806,
reproduced in Dow's History of Hampton, his residence was
north of Hampton village on the road to Exeter and was next
to the house of "J. Elkins" which was near a school house. On
the north was a swamp which was on the border of the town, of
North Hampton.

June 15th, 1775, two days before the battle of Bunker Hill,
the men of Hampton had prepared for war and the instructions
of the authorities of the town were given to Capt. Henry Elkins.
In November the company he had recruited was engaged in
the defence of Piscataqua Harbor, (Portsmouth, N. H.). In
December, 1775, he formed a new company * ' for the Continental
Army" and it being the first to organize it was called "the first
company. ' ' Captain Henry Elkins is credited with a service of
seven months at Cambridge, under General Washington. He
was then only about 47 years old. He may have done military
service afterward but for more than 30 years, ever since he was
17 years old, he had borne arms and had had to do with military
matters. That his health may have become impaired is quite
probable.

112 The Descendants of

The death of Henry Elkins is not recorded. His last child
Jonathan was born in 1783. Mary Moore lived to the age of
72, dying April 12, 1812. They are undoubtedly buried in
Hampton but not in the small, so-called, "Elkins" Ground.

A brief notice of the ancestry of Henry and Hannah Elkins
will be found in the narrative Chapter on Archelaus Moore.

Henry Elkins and Mary had 11 children. The name Moore
having lapsed for so many years, not being perpetuated in the
naming of any of their descendants, it is presumed that their
discovery would not be followed by much contemporaneous
humian interest. This Genealogy, therefore, does not assume
to give the posterity of Capt. Henry Elkins and Mary Moore.
A very considerable beginning is to be found in Dow's History
of the town of Hampton, one from which tracing should be easy.
The descendants are very numerous. All of the eleven had
children except two and the children of Joanna (Elkins) Per-
kins had 45 children so that the descendants of Mary Moore
may easily reach one thousand in number.

The eleven children were as follows:

Hannah, b. April, 1758, married 1782, Josiah Marston.

Mary, b. October, 1760, married, 1783, Nathaniel Leavitt.

Sarah, b. April, 1764, married James Sanborn.

Henry, b. June, 1766, unmarried.

Abigail, b. June, 1768, unmarried.

Jeremiah, b. February, 1770, married Mary Batchelder.

Joanna, b. March, 1772, married, 1792, John Perkins.

Betty, b. March, 1774, married Stephen and Jacob Coffin.

John, b. April, 1777, married Millie Brown.

Thomas, bap, July, 1780, married, 1808, Lydia Marston

Jonathan, bap. March, 1783, married, 1819, Joanna Drew.

NATHANIEL GLINES AND ELIZABETH MOORE

Elizabeth, daughter of William Moore (eldest son of John
Moor, settler of Canterbury, N, H.) was born, according to the
tOAvii record there, Feb. 21, 1747. It is her distinction to have
lived a century, longer than any person named in this book.
She married, September 23rd, 1764, Nathaniel Glines, who was
born December 1, 1744.

John Glines, without doubt the father of Nathaniel, was
one of the Proprietors of Canterbury and married at Dover,
N. H., Mary Bassford, Nov. 27, 1728. His will was dated March
17, 1757. It was admitted to probate on August 3 of the same
year, indicating that he had died in the interval. He says,
"having enlisted myself in His Majesty's service to go against
his Majesty's enemies & not knowing whether I shall return to
my family again" that his son Nathaniel (whom he names last
and who may thereby be indicated as his youngest) shall have
the undivided land belonging to the original right of Samuel
Smith, Jr. To his elder sons, "William and Richard, who were
made Executors, he gave his home place (Lot No. 63). He
probably died away from home and his widow died soon after.
The neglected graves of William, his son, and brother to
Nathaniel, and Elizabeth Blanchard, wife of William, may still
be seen in the large private yard on the Glines farm, afterward
called the Matthias Moore place, a few rods from the Northfield
road in the northwest part of Canterbury.

The land Nathaniel inherited was probably lot No. 63 of
40 acres, designated C. H. Fletcher on 1858 map and J, Cogswell
on maps of 1892 and 1912, at the crest of a hill facing south.
Nathaniel Glines may have lived there while in Canterbury.
The church record shows that Nathaniel and Elizabeth "owned
the covenant" as church members sometime between the years
1761 and 1771.

128 The Descendants of

On May 1, 1775, Nathaniel Glines enlisted as a private in
•Oordon Hutchins' Company, Col. John Stark's regiment, at the
age of 31, for 3 months and 3 days. It is believed that he was
at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17th, 1775. June 7, 1777,
he enlisted in the Continental Army for 3 years under Captain
Ebenezer Frye, Col. Joseph Cilley's regiment. Dee. 22, 1778,
he was transferred to Major William Scott's company of the
same regiment. December 28th, 1780, he enlisted "for the war"
on command (detached service) at New Borough and was a
soldier from the town of Canterbury from January 1, 1780 to
January 1, 1782. The United States Government Pension De-
partment records state that in 1777 he was at the capture of
Gen. Burgoyne at Sehuylerville and that he was also at the
battle of Monmouth. He was therefore a participant in three
of the great turning points of the struggle for American free-
dom. His descendants may well be proud of this poor country
recruit who saw the flower of the British Army humbled at the
close of the Northern campaign and helped turn an inglorious
defeat into victory under Washington in the hour of his awful
indignation at Monmouth.

At home the town of Canterbury looked after the young
wife and the large family of children. In State Papers, Vol. 3,
we read that Feb. 4th, 1780, an account of the articles * ' supplied
by the Selectmen of Canterbury to the family of Nathaniel
Glines a soldier in service of said town." Nov. 6, 1778 to Dec.
10, 1779, rye, peas, corn, beef, wool, salt, mutton, a total of 115
pounds, 5 shillings were accounted for. In the midst of a hard
winter on Feb. 8, 1780, the wife by "her mark" acknowledged
the receipt of the above mentioned articles. On April 12, 1780,
Nathaniel Glines gave an order for some "corn which I have
received for the support of my wife." May 9, 1780, Archelaus
Moore (uncle of Elizabeth) was ordered to deliver to Mrs.
Elizabeth Glines 4 bushels of Indian corn and again July 5,
1780 and December 8, 1781 and up to January 1, 1782, corn,
rye, wool, mutton and "wintering a cow and heifer" were re-
ceipted for. Some articles were also on record as being furnished
by William Moore, father of Elizabeth. On April 16, 1782, the
town voted "that Nathaniel Glines being a Canterbury soldier

Lt. William Moor 129

shall be put upon the same footing by this town with the other
continental soldiers which we sent last year."

Of their children, five were born before the war and two,
Samuel and Nathaniel, during it. Samuel was born March 13,
1777 but the date of Nathaniel's birth, for some reason, was
left blank. After the war was over Jeremiah, Elizabeth and
Polly were born, the last in 1788, some 24 years after Lydia,
the fii'st child.

As a resident of the toAvn of Walden, Vt., to which place
the family emigrated after the close of the Revolutionary War,
Nathaniel Glines applied for a pension. It was allowed April
7, 1818. He died at Derby, Vt., at the house of his son, Jere-
miah, Nov. 7, 1825, and was buried on the farm. After the
death of his wife his body was placed beside hers in the cemetery
at West Derby, near Newport, Vt. A stone was erected over her
grave but there is none at his.

Despite the privations of the long War for Independence,
Elizabeth Glines lived to a remarkable age. The pension her
husband received was continued for her benefit, the last payment,
at the rate of $80 a year, being made to Jedediah Dane, Ad-
ministrator, from the Montpelier, Vt., agency. Certificate No.
815, her first pajonent, was made Oct. 5, 1836 in the 89th year
of her age. The Pension Department records her death as
April 20, 1846 ''at the age of 100 years, 2 months and 20 days."

Elizabeth (Moore) Glines was a small and very active
woman. In her later years she smoked a pipe. She had many
peculiarities, among them a trait of laying aside or preserving
anything which might possibily be put to use. A hammer with
which she repaired shoes for her young family is still preserved
by her descendants. Linen which she spun and wove from flax
raised on the farm in Derby is in the possession of her great-
grand-daughter, Mrs. H. G. Foulkes, who lives on the original
place in the same house (much altered and improved) where
Nathaniel and Elizabeth lived and died. The land is near the
shore of the most beautiful part of Lake Memphremagog and
commands a view into Canada.

On her 100th birthday a celebration was made of the event
at her home.

CAPTAIN JOSEPH MOORE AND ELIZABETH WHIDDEN

Captain Joseph Moore was born October 18, 1754, prob-
ably in the house now standing at the four corners in the
Southern part of Canterbury, kno\vn as the Moore-Gilman
property. He was probably the one who "went to the war"

(10)

146 The Descendants of

the next morning after the news of the breaking out of the
Revolution came while the neighbors were celebrating with his
father's family the erection of the barn. Of his military career
nothing else is known. On his return from the war he married,
May 1, 1783, Elizabeth, daughter of Ichabod Whidden and
brother of Nathaniel Whidden, who, in 1785, married her sister
Jennie. Joseph bought of his father-in-law, Ichabod Whidden,
for 75 pounds the 53 acre lot No. 47 ''in lieu of a lot of 40
acres which fell within the bounds of Kent's farm." April 25,
1789, his father, William Moore deeded to Joseph lot No. 95
that was Nathaniel Lummock's "for a lot that was lost in lay-
ing the first division of lands." On the last named lot Joseph
Moore made his home. It was in a then wild and unsettled part
of Canterbury on the South Eastern edge of the "Hackel-
borough" district. The locality is almost as lonely now as it
was then, having reverted to brush and pasture land.

Nov. 6, 1791, Joseph Moore and wife "owned the covenant"
in the Canterbury church and it is recorded later on Jan. 20,
1811, that "Capt. Joseph Moore and wife" did the same thing.
About 1832 in writing his Historical Sermon the Rev. William
Patrick said "Among those who remain with us are Capt.
Joseph Moore" &c.

Joseph Moore died June 11, 1836 in his 82nd year. The
inventory of his little estate was filed the same year at Concord.
A story is told of him that at his place a fat cat was killed for
the oil and after baking it he thought he would take a taste of
the meat to see what it was like. He chewed and chewed but
couldn't swallow it and finally decided he had had enough of
it.

After the death of the father the family lived on in the old
house, the daughters going more and more into retirement after
the death of the mother, Nov. 4, 1847. Being born Oct. 21,
1763, she was in her 84th year. The deed of the farm, dated
1789, was brought out and filed about 2 weeks after her death.
The children in the filial love and respect that so distinguished
them erected marble slabs to the memory of their parents, re-
placing the soapstone slab originally placed at the grave of
their father and which may be seen, broken, at the spot.

Lt. "William Moor 147

''Sukey," one of the early children, was the first of the
adult children to die. She was buried by the parents in a
little private yard made for the purpose on the farm, on a
mound across the road, a little north of the house. The parents
themselves were laid to rest there and it is said that the re-
maining daughters, "The Moore Girls" as they were called,
had a beaten path from their home to the graves.

Ten years after the mother died Judith Jane was taken
ill and in February, 1857, made her will and died in
March. Two months later Betsey, her sister died "of insanity."
This left only Sally and Hannah at home.

The original house became dilapidated and unfit for use.
The children did not tear it do^vIL but religiously left every-
thing as it was and built a smaller house within a few rods,
suffering not a stick or stone of the old house to be touched.
The old house crumbled and finally disappeared. Sally and
Hannah did all the Avork around the place. Sally would seldom
show herself. She died in 1866 and Hannah, following the
practice of the family, erected a marble slab to her memory.
After nearly 30 years of loneliness and bereavement it finally
became necessary to care for her. She was taken away and
died at the home of a relative. When it became her turn to
go, the last of her race, there was no one to mark her grave
and it remains a mound of gravel at the end of the row of
white marble stones fallen into disarray. An army flag is still
maintained at the grave of Capt. Joseph Moore.

The old barn blew down. A mortgage "with interest unpaid
for many years was on the farm. Wool was found in the barn
nearly eaten up by moths. The timber on the place which had
been growing for scores of years was finally sold and cut off.
Within a very few years the little "new house" built by the
daughter became the prey of the elements and has now fallen.

The family ends with the present generation.

Sept. 18, 1782, at the age of 25, William, Moore, Jr., married
his cousin, Mary, horn Feh. 1, 1759, the daughter of his uncle,
Samuel, who kept the Tavern, nearly a mile North on the main
road. There were seven children of whom four died in infancy.
Nov, 3, 1790, he "owned the covenant" and precisely three
years later she did the same. The church records show that
Samuel, Nathan, Polly and Reuben were baptised March 23,
1794. It is not known where this family resided in Canterbury,
but it is probable they lived at the homestead ^\dth his father,
Lt. Wm. Moor, neither family being large.

In 1819, she being then a widow, Mary with her son,
Nathan and his wife, Sally, sold what appears to be the original
home plale of Lt, Wm. Moor, to A. Coburn for $1,000, the
deed not being recorded till 1828. But little is known of Wm,,
Jr,, and his wife, Marj^ In 1792 she (by "her mark") relin-
quished her claims against the estate of Susannah McCrillis, her
step-mother, 2nd wife of her father, Capt. Samuel. He died
when she was 16 years old.

They had seven children, as follows:

Samuel, b. Sept. 18, 1783.

Nathan, b. Mar. 7, 178G.

Polly, b. Oct. 1, 1787; d. Aug. 29, 1797.

Stephen, b. Nov. 16, 1790; d. Aug. 30, 1791.

Reuben, b. Mar. 30, 1792.

Jesse, b. Jan. 7, 1795; d. May 15, 1799.

Asa, b. July 14, 1797; d. July, 1802.

150 The Descendx\.nts of

Children of William Moore, Jr., and Mary:

I. Samuel, b. July 18, 1783. "Owned the covenant" Mar. 24,
1811. Nov. 17, 1803, Samuel Moore, Jr., married Eachel
Brier, "both of Canterbury." Feb. 10, 1817, Samuel and
Rachel sold for $350 ' ' the 40-acre lot of John Smith,
commonly called the French place on which I now live,
excepting .14 acre on which school house stands." This lot
is on opposite side of the road east of the home of Lt.
Wm. Moor, his grandfather. The only house now standing
thereon is that of the late Albert Blanchard (died 3910).
In 1828, according to the church records, Samuel Moor and
his wife Rachel Moor were "dismissed to the church in
LoweU."

It is tradition that the first school was kept in this
house, previous to the building of school house No. 1. The
attendance consisted chiefly of Moore children. The house
is small, unpainted and bears marks of having been built
many years, probably being the original building erected
on this spot. See view in picture of Lt. William Moore
house.

REUBEN MOORE AND MARY WOODBURY

Reuben Moore died Feb. 21, 1860 at the age of 74 yrs. His
wife died in 1865 at age of 64 years. His death is taken from
his tombstone; that of his wife from records of her relatives
in Salisbury. Their son, Henry Moore, discovered by means of
a newspaper that Cyrus Moore of Bristol was a relative. On
a visit to the latter they established to their o\^ai satisfaction
that the father of Henry, Reuben, (who was known to have
been born in Canterbury) was the brother of Nathan, 'the
father of Cyrus; in short, that the two men were first cousins.
Nevertheless, certain conflicts in dates exist.

Canterbury records give the birth of Nathan as March 7,
1786. The latter 's descendants have in their bible his birth as
March 7, 1788. Town of Canterbury records give birth of
Reuben as March 30, 1792. His descendants have it April 21,
1788, but give birth of his wife, Mary Woodbury of Haverhill,
as Aug. 27, 1802 in one account, and 1793 in another account.

Haverhill town records have marriage of "Reuben Moore
of Lebanon and Mary Woodbury of Haverhill by Justice of the
Peace J. L. Corliss" (who was husband of her sister) Oct. 5,
1838, indicating a marriage slightly later in life than usual,
in his case at 45 years of age.

JANE MOORE AND NATHANIEL WHIDDEN

Ichabod Whidden (son of Samuel of Greenland, N. H., who
died about 1713) was born 1713, learned the tanning trade and
moved to Newmarket. By his 3rd wife, widow Eunice Mason
(nee Parsons) he had, among other children, Nathaniel and
Elizabeth. Ichabod then moved to Lee and thence to Canter-
bury, dying in 1799, his wife in 1812.

Nathaniel, born Newmarket, March 20, 1761, bought a tract
of land in the North East corner of the town of Canterbury,
The farm backed up on the hill which runs into Gilmanton and
bordered if it did not extend into Northfield. Here before his
marriage Nathaniel cleared a space for a log house and brought
to it, March 10, 1785, his wife, Jennie or Jane Moore. The
view to the west and north was extensive, the smoke of a few
scattered houses being the only signs of human habitation.
Polly and Nancy were born in the log house but Peggy (born
1789) was the first child of the new frame dwelling which is
still standing, the same as originally, except that the small
windows and big chimney are gone. It was built one room at

I. Hannah "Jr." b. Dec. 1, 1746. On the Canterbury
town record under the children of Archelaus
Moore is written "Hannah Clough died April 6,
1770." If she married a Clough no official or
family record remains. A Hannah Clough was
born Dec. 29, 1744 and died Sept. 25, 1756— the
only one recorded in Canterbury. Hannah "Jr."
may have been given "Clough" as a middle name,
but they were not customary at that time. "Whether

JOHN MOORE OF LOUDON RIDGE

John Moore, son of Col. Archelaus Moore of Canterbury,
was born Nov. 1, 1748, undoubtedly in Canterbury and prob-
ably in the new home built by his father and which became
later known as the Greenough place, near the four corners in
the Southern part of town, now owned by Kenneth Pope. John
Moore married Dec. 5, 1770, Abiah Stevens, born in Hampstead,
Aug. 23, 1753. The late John B. Moore said "She died June
5, 1836 at 83 years. I can remember her well, being 6 years
of age."

John Moore became acquainted with her in Canterbury,
not Hampstead, because of a visit her mother, Abigail (Emer-
son) Stevens, widow of Otho Stevens, paid to her sister, Mrs.
Susan Chase, of Canterbury. Abigail married Dec. 28, 1763,
at the age of 26, Deacon David Morrill, of Canterbury, only
3 years her senior. Abigail, Emerson-Stevens-Morrill then re-
moved from Hampstead with her brood of three young children,
one having died. When only 15 years and 7 months old she
married Otho Stevens. They had Abiah, 1753; Simon,
1755 ; Jesse, 1757 and Jacob, 1759 ; the latter of whom was
bom just before his father was wounded in climbing to the
Heights of Abraham, Quebec, and died soon after, less than a
year old.

Deacon David Morrill and Abigail had seven children,
Reuben, 1764 ; Hannah, 1766 ; David, 1768 ; Betsey, 1770 ; Sarah,
1772, Ruth, 1776 and Abigail, 1779. Seven years after her
second marriage, her oldest child, Abiah, at the age of 17 years,
in 1770, married John Moore, son of Col. Archelaus. After this
€vent she had children, Sarah, Ruth and Abigail, 11 in all for
this remarkable woman who completed nearly a century of
active life. She died Jan. 30, 1833 at the great age of 96 years,
three months, and was buried in the large burial ground at
Canterbury Center, near their home, by the side of her (2nd)
husband, Deacon David Morrill who had died June 10, 1799,
a full generation before her. The Morrill homestead place on
lot 136, was divided between Abigail, her daughter, who mar-
ried Leavitt Clough and who lived in the old house, and Sally,
her daughter, who married Asa Foster, who built a new house
against the old one, the dividing line of the farms passing be-

168 The Descendants of

tween them. Both houses were burned in 1895, only a barn,
on the "West, or Foster section, remaining. The farm is just out
of the Center, on the road to East Canterbury and ad.joined
the place of Deacon Morrill's father, (Deacon Ezekial Morrill,
one of Canterbury's most prominent men) later known as the
Capt. E, Batchelder place, now that of James Frame.

Abiah (Stevens) Moore was only 6 years old at the time of
the death of her father, Otho Stevens, Jr., in 1759 in his 33rd
year. According to Stevens' history of Newbury, Vt., Otho,
Ephraim, Simon, Josiah, Daniel and Samuel Stevens were in
Capt. Jacob Bayley's company, Goff's Eegiment, Amherst's
Expedition of 1759. In the perilous climb to the Heights or
Plains of Abraham, above Quebec, before the epoc making
battle, Otho was injured. He went or was removed to Fort
Oswego, (N. Y.) where he died. An entry in Capt. Bayley's
Journal gives an account of his death; "Friday, Sept, 21, 1759,
cool morning but pleasant. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon
dies Otho Stevens of a long and tedious illness of 22 days, much
lamented by his relations and friends, he being a loving brother
and a faithful friend. He was sensible to the last breath he
drew and sensible of his approaching near another world which
did not in the least ruffle his spirits. But he seemed to have
his hope firmly placed in God."

He was son of Otho Stevens, b. 1702 of Hampstead, and
Abigail Kent, b. 1697 of Gloucester. Otho Stevens, Sr., was
bom in Gloucester. His grandfather, William Stevens, came
to America from Gonsham, Oxford County, England, was mar-
ried in Newbury, Mass., in 1645, and died there in 1653. His
son John, b. 1650, married Mary, b. 1651, daughter of Aquilla
Chase, b. 1618, of Hampton and Newbury,

Abia Stevens' mother came of the Dustin stock. She was
Abigail Emerson, b. 1737, daughter of Hannah Watts, b. 1718,
the daughter of Samuel Watts, b. 1691, of Haverhill and Abi-
gail Dustin who was born October, 1690 and died May 5, 1727.
Abigail Dustin was one of the little children of Hannah Dustin
from whom she was torn away at her home in Haverhill, Mass.,
by the Indians and carried to an island in the IMerrimack River
above Concord. The intrepid woman, watching her opportunity,
tomahawked her captors and escaped, after many perils, to her

Col. Arckelaus Moore 169

home down the river. Hannah Dustin, the heroine, was the
daughter of Michael Emerson, the Emigrant, and Hannah Web-
ster whom she married in 1657, she being the daughter of John
Webster (d. 1642) and Mary Shatswell of Ipswich, Mass., of
which place they were among the earliest settlers.

John Moore in 1772 at the age of 24 bought for two hundred
pounds lots 104 and 105 in Canterbury, which his father. Col.
Archelaus had purchased in 1764 of his brother, Capt. Samuel
Moore. The place was in early days knoAvn as the James Head
place but in the middle of the 19th centurj^ was generally called
the Moore place. Having married in 1770 he probably brought
his young wife here. In 1778, he sold the place to
James Sherburne for 400 pounds. When the rather small house
was built in the North West corner of the lots, it is impossible
to state, but undoubtedly before 1761. It had a small cellar
and an ell which extended along the road to the East. Lilac
bushes still bloom where the front door was. About 1840, after
James Moore and his sister Hannah had made it their home,
for some years it sheltered John T. G. Emery whose effects
were moved out by Sylvanus C. Moore, then a young man,
"with his steers," as he relates. The house was just South of
the Ensign John Moore place, the road separating them.

John Moore, son of Col. Archelaus, was elected Fence
Viewer of Canterbury in 1773 and in the next year he was
Highway Surveyor. He held the latter office in 1778, 1781 and
1784, and these are the only indications that he did not sooner
permanently remove to Loudon where he early bought a large
tract of land' on and near Loudon Ridge in the North East part
of that town. In 1784 he had six living children. His father,
after the marriage of Abigail to Capt. Benj. Sias in 1771, had no
children at home unless John and his family lived with him.

By 1789 John Moore became very prominent in Loudon.
He had, in the church, pew No. 25 with Esquire Sias, his brother-
in-law. In that year he "John Moore of Loudon, Gentleman"
sold a 100-aere lot in Canterbury. In 1801 "Archelaus Moore's
tax list" included Archelaus Moore (son of John) $3.64, John
Moore $8.29, Elkins Moore (son of John) $3.21 and Nathaniel
Hill (son-in-law of John) $3.80, in 1810 taxes for repairing the

170 The Descendants of

school house ("school near John Moore's to be No. 6") men-
tioned Jacob, Archelaus, John, John Jr., and Elkins Moore.
In 1780 when John Moore was first taxed in Loudon the tax
was payable in corn. In 1789 when John Moore was a Select-
man of Loudon the bounty on wolves heads was $8.00. In 1797
he paid the largest tax in town.

In 1796 a road was laid from Abner Clough's corner by
John Clough's to John Moore's. June 17, 1790, John Moore
and John Sanborn laid the road from Canterbury line to the
road leading from Lovering's Mill to Libbe Batchelder's house
by William Wheeler's.

In 1778 and 1779 it was voted to erect a meeting house in
Loudon. The building was not lathed and plastered until 1797.
In 1789 two porches had been built. Up to 1783 there was no
settled minister. In 1788 the Eeverend Jedediah Tucker com-
menced his ministry and remained for nearly 30 years.

John Moore built his house at the junction of the Concord
and Pittsfield roads about one-half mile South of Loudon Ridge.
From 1790 to 1800 a number of large pretentious houses were
built in Loudon, some with rooms both sides of the front door
and others " half -houses " which were in many cases never ex-,
tended. Jokn Moore built a large square house, full two stories
with large square rooms and with an enormous central chimney.
On the front the "East room" was the "spare room' and the
"West room" was used as a parlor. Back of these was a long
kitchen with a bed alcove in one corner and at the end of the
kitchen was a small bed room. In one of these beds Col Arch-
elaus Moore and his wife, who in their old age left Canterbury
for Loudon, died. Esquire John Moore and his wife, Abiah,
and their son, John, born 1787, also died in the same room.
John B. Moore, the latter 's son, inherited the homestead, lived
there seven years and operated the 60-acre farm. His father,
John, died in 1856 and at the time of his funeral, March 6th,
the snow was many feet deep. In 1862 John B. Moore sold the
place to Nathaniel D. Clough, who in 1863 tore down the large
house and built the present one, somewhat smaller, on the same
site, using some of the old material. The door of the ell or
kitchen is from the old house as are some of the windows mth
panes seven by nine inches. Certain timbers in the barn also
show previous use.

Col. Archklaus Moore 171

John Moore, son of Col. Archelaus, also became known as
"Squire Moore." He had but one eye. He was nevertheless a
famous bear hunter. One day Sarah Diamond, grandmother of
Mrs. John B. Moore, going to the spring for water saw a large
bear. Being much frightened she ran for help. They sent for
Squire Moore who killed the bear and all the neighbois had
some of the meat. It is also said that he killed another bear
in the field back of the house.

A note given by John Moore is in the possession of Howard
P. Moore. It reads as follows:

"Loudon, March 2nd, 1805. For value received

I promise to pay Nathaniel Hill or order on demand

One hundred and six dollars with interest till

paid as witness my hand.

John Moore."

John Moore and Abiah Stevens had a large family most of
whom lived to be old. Hannah, who married Nathaniel Hill, is re-
puted to have lived 100 years. Sally died at 91 and "William at
85. John Moore died Jan. 19, 1816 in his 68th year. His wife,
Abiah (Stevens) died June 15, 1836 at 82 (old Shepard bible
record) surviving her venerable mother, Mrs. Morrill, only 3
years. John Moore and his wife are buried in the Moore row
in the large cemetery in the center of the town of Loudon, back
of the town and meeting house. There were no marks on the
plain field stones on their graves. His resting place is believed
to be next to the stone of his son Archelaus (a marked stone)
the only one of his sons buried in that yard. All these stones, in-
cluding those of Col. Archelaus Moore and his wife, w^ere ruth-
lessly torn up and dispersed and many fine old trees were cut
down when the grave yard w^as "cleaned up" in 1915. The act of
vandalism, which can never be atoned for, was the result of a
donation of $100 ostensibly for the improvement of the ceme-
teiy.

Before moving from Canterbury, John Moore bought a large
part of the land on and near Loudon Ridge. He gave a farm
to each of his sons, Elkins, Archelaus, John and William. With
them he cleared the land most of which is occupied by his des-
cendants to this day.

172 The Descendants of

Children of John Moor ("Jr.") and Abiah:

I Hannah, b. Oct. 10, 1771; m. Nathaniel Hill of Loudon Ridge.
About 1801 he was prominent in Loudon, In 1802 she
signed a deed with her brother Elkins. They removed to
Maine, to the vicinity of Gardiner, calling the locality
"Loudon Hill," and old residents of Loudon can recall the
visits of "Uncle Hill" and "Aunt Hill." She lived to be
nearly 100 years old. They had at least one child, a Mrs.
Grinnell, of whom aU trace is lost.

II. Abigail, b. Mar. 15, 1773; d. May 19, 1776.

III. Abiah, b. Mar. 30, 1775. John B. Moore, b. 1829, who could
remember the death of his grandmother, Abiah Stevens, in
1836, did not remember Abiah, her daughter.

100 IV. Elkins, b. March 28, 1777; d. Dec. 20, 1851 (Nov. 20, 1852,
at 75, Shepard Bible). He was a farmer and was also
well known as a plow-maker. His house, probably buUt for
him by his father John, stands at the corner of the Ridge
and Concord roads, opposite the Advent church. For over
30 years it contained the Post Office, attended by his two
spinster daughters. Their saving care brought down to us
a number of old deeds and papers of Col. Archelaus Moore
of Canterbury and Loudon, their great-grandfather, hav-
ing been kept in an old secretary which stood on a chest
of drawers in their home. The first clock Elkins Moore
owned (previous to which the time was told by the sun or
the hour-glass) was treasured in the household of Clarence
L. Clough, his grandson, who lived until his death in 1914
on the Flanders Place, the buildings of which have since
been destroyed by fire, nearly opposite the Elkins Moore
homestead.

In 1806, at the age of 29, Elkins Moore was a select-
man of Loudon. He married, March 14, 1802, Mary Os-
good, who died July 31, 1826, a quarter of a century be-
fore him. They are buried in a small yard south from
Loudon Ridge, across a deep ravine, and Harriet and
Nancy lie beside them. Nearer the road are three field
stones in the same row, marking graves, probably of
Moores, identity unknown. Elkins Moore was a small man,
exceedingly spare.

In 1913 L. B. Chase of Sturbridge, Mass., described a
visit he paid to Elkins Moore, then in his 68th year, 6
years before he died. ' ' In the Spring of 1845 I went with
Hiram Mathes down to Grandsir Moores to get some cions
for grafting. That is the only time I remember his looks.
I think his features were prominent but not large and he

had on a broad-brimmed brown hat and a coat or frock
made of the mixed blue and white home-made frocking
worn by farmers at that time. He took us to the orchard
and Hiram and I up in the tree, he underneath watching
the ground. When a twig fell on the grass he'd pick it
up quick and watch for another. How clearly I see him
now. ' '

June 21, 1848, * ' in good health, ' ' he made his will,
giving one dollar each * ' to Mary, wife of John Mathes of
Canterbury and to Almira Chase, wife of Charles Chase
of Groton. ' ' To Eliza Ann, wife of Nathaniel D. Clough,
he gave $50 and to Nancy J. and Harriet all the rest of
his property. The will was proved in 1852, following his
death in 1851. Five children.

101 V. Archelaus, b. Mar. 1, 1779 (the fourth successive child born
in March) ; d. Sept. 2, 1832. He had blue eyes and light
hair, characteristics of the early Moores. Sis wife, Abi-
gail Fifield, b. March 21, 1778, brought into the family
a dark strain; swarthy skin and large black or dark eyes.
She was daughter of Capt. David Fifield (1749-1806) and
Abigail Larey (1746-1809). Edward Fifield, father of
David, came to Gilmanton in 1780 from Stratham, where
his father, Edward, a grantee of the town of Gilmanton,
lived, being born 1678 in Hampton. His parents were
Benjamin Fifield of Hampton, born 1646, who married
Mary, daughter of Edward Colcord, 1670, and was killed
by the Indians Aug. 1, 1706, lying in ambush near a large
rock in his pasture. He was on horseback. He was son
of WilHam who died in Hampton in 1700, ''ould William
Fifield, above 80."

July 9, 1794, when he was nearing the end of his life,
Col. Archelaus Moore "Esquire" deeded "to Archelaus
Moore, Jr. of Loudon, minor" (just over 15 yrs. of age),
his grandson, in consideration of £330 "90 acres of land
in Loudon, being the greater part of 100-acre lot No. 83.
2nd Division, the original right of Eichard Melloon"
(Deeds 161-340). The young man lived and died on the
place which has descended in direct line to Daniel L,
Moore, his grandson, the present owner and occupant.

On April 1st, 1841, the original house, built probably
by John Moore for his son, was destroyed by fire, caused
by an overheated chimney while boiling sap. It was, like

■ John Moore's, a large two-story house. In it in 1832

Archelaus Moore had died of typhus fever the day before
his daughter Hannah died of the same dread disease. The
recollection of S. Lowell French is (when 4 yrs. old) that
he saw him driving a yoke of black cattle, a man some-

what small of stature with but one good eye. Archelaua
Moore and Abigail Fifield were married by Isaac Smith,
the minister of Gilmanton (of the old Smith meeting house
which all her family attended) May 21, 1801. In 1803
Archelaus with 8 others protested against "the illegal and
unconstitutional laying of a ministerial tax" thus advo-
cating the "separation of church and state" but not op-
posing either.

Feb. 26, 1849, Abigail (Frfield) Moore (by "her
mark") made her will "in a tolerable state of health but
of advanced years. ' ' She died July 7, 1852, at the age of
74. Her grandchild, Mary Ellen (Moore) Tucker, attended
the funeral, in the south room, the parlor. The present
house, recently made two stories and a half, is connected
by an eU and long sheds with the barns, all on the site
of the original home, burned in 1841. A towel made from
flax grown and prepared by Abigail Fifield Moore and
spun by her daughter, Julia, is in the possession of Howard
P. Moore. The graves of Archelaus and Abigail Moore
marked by white marble stones identify the ' ' Moore row ' '
in the cemetery at Loudon Center, back of the Town and
meeting house. Ten children.

ABIGAIL MOORE AND CAPT. BENJAMIN SIAS

Abigail Moore was born in Canterbury, then but little more
than a wilderness, March 21, 1754, daughter of Col. Archelaus
Moore and Hannah Elkins. Nothing is known of her until her
marriage to Capt. Benjamin Sias of Canterbury who was born
July 4th, 1747, probably at Durham. The marriage took place
Dec, 25th, 1771, Christmas day. He was the son of John Sias,
Jr., of Durham, brother of Hannah Sias who married Ensign
John Moor. Col. Archelaus Moore and Capt. Benj. Sias were,
therefore, own cousins. John Sias, Jr., was married to Hannah
Sampson of Wells, Maine, July 16, 1728, by the Rev. Hugh
Adams. He was one of the grantees of Canterbury under the
Charter of 1727. He received from his father, John Sias, Sr.,
land both sides of the Mast road near Turtle Pond in what is
now Lee, N. H. He had Abigail, Benjamin, Nathaniel and
Charles, the latter being in Canterbury for a while, removing to
DanviUe, Vt., and later, with his worldly effects on a hand sled,
from Peacham to Derby, Vt. Charles Sias did not remove to
Derby, his final home, until after the death of his brother,
Capt. Benjamin Sias. Charles, 5 years older, survived his
brother Benjamin 38 years and died in 1837 at the great age
of 95 years. He had 10 children.

In the "Wood rate" in Canterbury, for Rev. Abiel Foster
in 1762 Charles Sias was a contributor and in 1764 he was
assessed for fencing the parsonage. Benjamin Sias is first
recorded in Canterbury in 1767 when he was 20 years old,
at that time paying his rate "for billeting the schoolmaster."
He and Charles are on the Province tax lists for 1769 and 1770.
He was in that part of the town which was set off as Loudon
in 1771. In 1773 we find him granted $22 for felling 22
acres of trees on the parsonage lot. In 1774 Lieutenant Ben-
jamin Sias and Lieut. Daniel Ladd were a Committee "to lay
out the gospel money," and in July of the same year he was
on a Committee to hire a minister. In 1777 Charles Sias was
Hogreeve and Surveyor of lumber. In 1778 Benj. Sias was on
a committee to sell pews in the meeting house. In 1781 he was
selectman of Loudon. In 1786 the town voted to build 4 schools,
the second to stand "at the mouth of Esq. Sias' Mill road."

208 The Descendants of

The location of his homestead was on a hill in Loudon opposite
the "Shakers" in Canterbury and that community, after he
left town, bought his farm and lands. The road leading from
the corner where John* Moor (Sam'P, John^, Arch^) lived, to
"Esq. Sias" house is entirely disused. The cellar of the house,
some of the bricks, of good quality, remaining, may still be seen.

Capt. Benj. Sias had a brilliant military career. Potter's
Mil. Hist, of N. H. says of him "Capt. Benj. Sias was of Canter-
bury. He marched to Saratoga July, 1777, with 8 volunteers
from that town and Loudon. He had command of the 5th
company. Col. Stickney's regiment, at the Battle of Benning-
ton, Aug. 16, 1777, and of the 2nd company in Col. Nichols'
regiment in Gen'l. Whipple's brigade in Rhode Island in 1778
and was at Portsmouth with a company in 1779. He was a man
of bravery and energy and was ever ready for action when
fighting was to be done. ' '

Capt. Benj. Sias emigrated to Danville, Vt., about 1792,
taking with him his aged mother, Hannah (Sampson) and in
the cemetery in Danville is a stone with this inscription "Han-
nah Sias, born Feb., 1710, died Feb., 1794." In Vermont
Capt. Benjamin became even more prominent than in New
Hampshire, and in seven short years made a name for himself
and the Sias family which endures. In 1793-4-5-6-7 and 9 he
was Representative in the Vermont Legislature, in 1793 a mem-
ber of the State Constitutional convention, and in 1796-7 and
9 Associate Judge of the Caledonia County Court, dying in
office. He was one of the original Trustees of the Caledonia
County Academy established at Peacham, Vt., in 1795 by act
of the Legislature. Captain Benjamin Sias died Dec. 21, 1799,
and was buried at Danville, Vt. His wife, Abigail, lived until
February 16, 1822. Of their eight children the births of the
first three are recorded in Canterbury, Jeremiah, 1773 ; Samuel,
1775 and Archelaus, 1778.

The late Soloman Sias of Schoharie, N. Y. (born 1829)
related to the compiler the following story told to him by
Charles Hewes, born 1814 (who married his cousin, Amelia) of
his grandfather, Capt. Benjamin Sias, who he said had a strong,
lean frame, dark eyes, and prominent features, all character-
istic of the family.

Col. Archelaus Moore ,209

At the beginning of the battle of Bennington, one of
the most famous of the smaller fights of the Revolutionary
War, Capt. Sias having brought up some soldiers to Gen-
eral John Stark, the commander, vrent back after more
men and when the noise of the battle began he was some
five miles away. He and his men started at once and ran
the entire distance to get into the fray. On arrival, how-
ever, he was ordered to take charge of the wagons in the
rear. This was too much for the Captain, who, mopping
his face from hair to chin with his bent elbow exclaimed
(Deacon though he was), "I think it is a damned shame
after running five miles to get here not to be allowed to
fight." On hearing of this General Stark ordered Capt.
Sias to the front with his men where they proved a strong
reinforcement to the Continental troops.

A bowl of Lowestoft ware once the property of Abigail
(Moore) Sias is in the possession of Mrs. Aaron "Wesson, a
lineal descendant, at St. Albans, Vt. Abigail Moore was a
small women, with black eyes and a dauntless spirit. She died
at 68, 23 years after her husband, who died at the early age of
52, after a life full of accomplishments.

Children of Capt. Samuel Moore

By 1st wife, Joanna :

I. Samuel, b. Oct. 10, 1751. Marriage and children not men-
tioned in town record. 1790 Census, Samuel Moore's
family consisted of one adult male, 3 youth and 3 females.
He was of age on death of his father. In 1772 his father
deeded to him, "my beloved son," yeoman, the 3 forty-
acre lots 39, 40 and 41. Here was his home. It is tradi-
tion that the Moores built log buildings and that the
Gibsons built the frame house, later, on same site, recently
the A. L. Dearborn place, west of the Sam'l Moore-Mc-
Crillis-Blanchard tavern. In 1789 Samuel, Jr., sold one-
half of lot 39 to his step-father, Col. David McCrillis, for
£180. In 1802 Samuel, Jr., sold one-half of No. 39 and
all of lots 40 and 41 to Ezekial Moore, his cousin. In
1791 Samuel and Mary Moor and Eleanor Shannon of
Canterbury, spinsters, sold to John Shannon of Concord
and Taylor and Samuel Shannon of Canterbury for £20 quit
claim to 100 acres, the original right of John Moor, 1st
Division. In 1799 Samuel and Molly "in her right" sold
"by her mark" to Frederick Parker lot No. 55, 4th Divi-
sion, the original right of John Moor. By a deed (now in
possession of Howard P. Moore) Anne Shannon by her
mark, Feb, 8, 1779, conveyed to James Glines 40 acre lot
177, the original right of John Moor, signed in presence
of Samuel and Aichelaus Moore.

It is probable Mary (or "Molly"), wife of Samuel,
Jr., was a Shannon. Who their children were cannot be
told. It is likely that "Samuel Moor, Jr." (by itself on
Canterbury record "b. Aug. 5, 1778,") was a son. It is
also likely that the Samuel Moore who married Widow
Miriam Sargent, July 17, 1800, was Samuel whose first
wife was Mary (or Molly). The "widow Sargent" in
her will Sept. 28, 1839, by her mark, as "Miriam Moore
of Canterbury, widow of Samuel late of Canterbury, ' ' left
her property to Ezra, Aaron, Samuel, Dominicus and
Charles Sargent, Sally, widow of Nat'l. Caverly ^ and
"Nancy, wife of Samuel French with whom I live."

It was probably "Samuel Moor, Jr." b. Aug. 5, 1788,
who Feb. 10, 1817, sold as "Samuel Moore of Canterbury,
Gentleman "'to Eoyal Jackman of Canterbury, bricklayer,
the 40-acre lot of John Smith, commonly known as the
French place, "on which I now live, excepting one-quarter
acre on which the school house stands." Samuel's wife
Rachel signed the deed with him and it was probably she

"222 The Descendants of

who was "Eachel Brier of Canterbury" who married
Samuel Moore, Jr., Nov. 17, 1803. If they had any chil-
dren the fact is not known. The price of the property,^
$350, was little enough if the present house and barn
existed at the time. They are on the northwest corner of
the lot, near the cross roads.

In 1764 William Moor who lived across the road
(west), bought this lot. No. 97, and held it until 1771^
when he sold to Jonathan West for thirty pounds. It
must have been after that that it became known as the
French place. Doubtless the present low house is the origi-
nal on the site. There is a tradition that it once was used
in part for a school for the district. It was distinctly a
Moore locality and the scholars were nearly all Moores in
the early days. During recent years the house was owned
and occupied by Albert Blanchard, who died there June,
1910.

II. Joanna, b. May 13, 1754; d. Mar. 12, 1791. Married Jan. 8,
1777, Obediah Mooney, the first school master of Canter-
bury. He had many land transactions with the Moores,
particularly with Ezekial to whom in April, 1807, he sold
(with wife Sarah) lots 58 and 59 and 93 and 94. Our
only knowledge of Joanna (Moore) Mooney is from her
gravestone, a finely chiseled, well preserved slate slab,
with an angel's head and ornamental border, next the
east wall of the cemetery at Canterbury Center, close by
a large elm which has grown up beside it.

"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Joanna Mooney, wife
of Mr. Obadiah Mooney, who died on Saturday the 12th
of March, 1791, aged 36 years and 10 months."

"Husband, children, friends and all,
Unto you there comes a call
For to prepare without delay
To meet your Lord at the judgment day."

Strange that Ensign John Moor, buried only five years
before, did not have an inscribed stone too ! In spite of
the reference to children there is no record of her leaving
any. Obadiah married (2nd) June 16, 1793, widow Sarah
Blanchard and had 7 children: Stevens, b. May 4, 1794;
Obadiah, b. Jan. 11, 1796; Hercules, b. Jan. 8, 1798;
John, b. April 7, 1800; Jeremiah, b. Sept. 15, 1802; Benj.
T., b. Nov. 8, 1804; Asa, b. May 8, 1808. Of these (non-
Moore) children it is interesting to know that the late
Walworth M. Mooney, iorse-nail manufacturer at Au Sable

Capt. Samuel LIoor 223

Chasm, N. Y., remembers his grandfather, Obediah Mooney,
pajaug his father Stevens Mooney a visit shortly after he
had built at Chazy, N. Y. (Clinton County, near Lake
Champlain) a stone woolen mill (now the Episcopal
church). Obediah and John Mooney, farmers, settled at
Point Au Roche, Lake Champlain, and Asahel (or Asa),
also a farmer, settled at North Island, Vt. Obediah
Mooney was a very fine penman. His signature is a model
of quill work. (See Narrative Chapter, Capt. Samuel
Moor.)

III. Elkins, b. Oct. 30, 1756. Although he was just over 19 years
of age when his father died no guardian was appointed
for him. In 1776 Elkins Moore enlisted for service in the
Revolutionary War, in "Cap't. Robbenson's Co." He
also enlisted July 2, 1777 "for 3 years or during the war."
He was Elkins Moore "his mark" in 1780 in Col. Thomas
Stickney's Regiment (State Papers).

On the Canterbury town records under the heading
"The birth of Capt. Sam'l Moore's children" is this
entry: "Joanna Moore, daughter of Elkins Moor was
born at Freeport in the District of Maine, July 24, 1789.
Eliza Mary Harvey, daughter of the above said Joanna
Moor was born at Canterbury May 26, 1810." From this
we infer that Elkins Moore married, was in Freeport at
least for a time, that he had at least one child who mar-
ried a Harvey and had a daughter Eliza. Canterbury and
Freeport records disclose nothing further.

July 4, 1780, to Oct. 25, 1780, Elkins and Ezekial
Moore were in Capt. Ebenezer Webster's Co. and joined
the Continental Army at West Point. On Mar. 31, 1781,
Elkins was on the town return as a soldier. Nineteen days
later he deeded to Samuel Moore "for 100 Spanish miUed
dollars" lot 124 of first 100-acre division, the original
right of John Smith 3rd.

IV. Mary, b. Feb. 1, 1759. Married her cousin, William, son of
Wm. Moor. (See that branch.)

200 V. Thomas, b. Feb. 6, 1761. He settled on a hill south of
Clough's pond, in the newly set off tovm of Loudon, not
far from the Canterbury line. The first house, of logs,
stood in the door yard of the present building, later the
home of Stephen, his son, and Andrew Gilman Moore,
his grandson.

224 The Descendants of

When his father died, Thomas was a lad of 15 and
was bound out to a man in old Hampton, but becoming
dissatisfied with his new home and fired with the martial
spirit of the time, he ran away and enlisted in the Revo-
lutionary Army, serving about 6 months. In volume 15
of State Papers is found this interesting Deposition:

"Deposition of THOMAS MOORE of lawful age,

Noah Sinclear of Canterbury upwards of three years last

plain of his Rist being trubelsom that wase shot when he

Thene the above named Thomas Moore personally appear-
ing and after due caution and careful examination made
Solemn oath to the truth and Impartiality of the above
Deposition by hime Subscribed before

Archelaus Moore,

Jus; of Peace."

About 1786 Thomas Moore began first to improve the
tract of land in Loudon, the new town, where he made his
home and lived out his days. He married Jan. 11, 1787,
Comfort Perkins, and having previously built a small house
on his Loudon land, the young couple at once moved there,
they being the first settlers in that part of town, then an
almost unbroken forest.

Appreciating the needs of education, which he himself
had been deprived of by the untimely death of his father
(Captain Samuel, keeper of the inn at Canterbury) he
hired a private tutor to come to his house and teach him-
self and children, the expense being shared by a neighbor
named Wheeler. He was one of the first on the School
Committee and for a time his barn was used in Summer
and his house in Winter for school purposes.

In April, 1809, the barn of Thomas Moore was burned,
the supposed work of an incendiary. The new barn, which
stands to-day, was built within 6 weeks thereafter, by the
help of the entire neighborhood. The Shakers donated a
cow and others assisted the family to recover from the
loss by various contributions.

Thomas Moore was town constable. He owned a share
of the Federal bridge, crossing the Merrimack between

Capt. Samuel Moor 225

Concord and Loudon, the first meeting of the proprietors
being in 1796. He died about 1817, the inventory of his
estate being made then and Comfort, widow, being ap-
pointed guardian of the minor children. She died about
1832, her estate being inventoried May 22, 1832. Nine
children,

VI. Hannah, b. Oct. 18, 1763. No further record. Probably
unmarried.

VII. Archelaus, b. Mar. 15, 1766; d. Sept., 1841. He married
Elizabeth Marden of Canterbury, who died in 1850 at an
advanced age. He was slight, of fair complexion and blue
eyes. They lived there until about 1820, when they re-
moved to Middleton. North of the Shakers in Canterbury
the cellar of the house on the N. E. corner of lot 109 may
still be seen, on the west side of the road a little north of
the loop built to avoid the hill. The land is high and the
prospect to the west magnificent. The well, partly filled
with stones, is in front of the cellar and still contains water.
The farm was sold to the Shakers who moved the house
to their buildings, where it is remembered by old residents
as the building where "candidates" resided temporarily.
Archelaus Moore bought the Simon Torr farm, the
buildings being old even at that time, on Middleton Eidge,
one of the best places in that town. He had but one son:

201 1 Eandall, b. Jan. 11, 1798, at Canterbury, named after

Elder Eandall, the F. W. B. minister who often
visited Archelaus Moore. Randall was appointed
executor of his father's will, qualifying Dec. 7,
1841. A new house and other buildings were built
by father and son. Randall married Polly C. Hill,
Mar. 4, 1817, b. Northwood Feb. 5, 1798, d. Mid-
dleton Oct. 10, 1884. Father and son with their
wives are buried in Middleton. Randall Moore had
eight children.

202 VIII. John (styled "Jr" on town records), b. Feb. 27, 1769; d.

April 1, 1810, probably on farm on Bradley hill, owned
now by Beck. He married Aug. 14, 1794, Hannah Morrill,
b. Dec. 18, 1773, d. Oct. 24, 1864, at 91 at S. C. Moore's.
She had brothers Samuel, David and John. April 10, 1791,
John and Hannah "owned the covenant" (i. e. joined the
church) and in the same year he was pound keeper and
sexton. They built the Richard Greenough house at Can-
terbury Center and lived there a few years. The inventory

of his estate amounted to $688, filed 1810, in which he was
styled "blacksmith," one item being "a small shop set
on the parsonage." This building, no longer small, still
stands in that location, occupying a corner of the burying
ground. The grave stones of John and Hannah, set in
the same base, may be seen in that cemetery. Four chil-
dren.

By 2nd wife, Susanna Webster :

203 IX. Reuben, b. Feb. 18, 1770; d. Sept. 20, 1841. He had blue
eyes and was very deaf. He married Jan. 11, 1795, Nancy
Hall, daughter of Stephen (called "Sheepskin Hall").
She was born in 1773 and died Dec, 3, 1849. She was
very short, and in her advanced years much wrinkled and
"smart," says one who remembers her. There is a tra-
dition that she and her husband Reuben were cousins.
No confirmation has been found, it involving the necessity
of having had the same grandparents, of which there is
no known indication. Both are buried in the Canterbury
Center yard.

Reuben Moore, 6 years old when his father died, built
his home, at date unknown, on the hill north of the Small
place in the central part of Canterbury, where Frank Dow
now lives. Reuben Moore owned all the land north as far
as the Hackelborough road. His buildings were on a north
and south range road long since forgotten. In recent
years Frank Dow, during a very dry period, discovered the
old well (near the cellar depression) on top of the hill.
It was covered with earth and a large stone and contained
good water, which was immediately made use of. Myron
Foster, 82 yrs. old, could just recall a barn standing on
the hill, but no house. The barn is now one of the Dow
buildings having been moved down many years ago. It
is likely that the original home was abandoned for the
better location on the main road. Here the new house was
erected, an eU on each side of the main portion. The
giant elms, now much admired, were planted by Reuben
Moore. In 1804 he was licensed by the town to keep a
tavern in his house, and in 1808 Ensign Reuben Moore
was licensed "to keep an open tavern at his dwelling
house about one mile east of the south meeting house."
After his death his son, Stephen, lived in the east end and
son, Thomas T., in the west end. The house stood about
where Mr. Dow now lives and was taken down about 1865.

Capt. Samuel Moor 227

Eeuben Moore made his will, his wife being executor, in
1841, and in September, eight days after his death, she
qualified. Nine children.

204 X. Susannah, b. April 19, 1775. It was shortly after the battle
of Lexington, but hard riding would be necessary to ac-
quaint the people at the Tavern in Canterbury of the fact,
and so the news may not have arrived until after the
little local event. The child was called "Sukey" for on
the town record "Abiel Foster Jr. and Sukey Moore"
were married Feb. 25, 1796. He was son of the most
prominent man Canterbury ever owned as a citizen, Abiel
Foster, b. 1735, d. 1806, son of Capt. Asa Foster, an early
settler. Abiel Foster, Sr., was born in Andover, graduated
Harvard at 21 yrs. of age. In 1779 he gave up the work
of the ministry in Canterbury after serving several terms
in the General Court (legislature of New Hampshire) he
was sent to Congress in 1784, Judge Court Common Pleas,
1789, at Concord, in Congress again in 1794, a senator and
President of the (N, H.) Senate 1795, and in 1803 again
a Representative in Congress. His portrait is in Turn-
bull's celebrated painting at Washington, his hand to his
face, the nearest figure to one viewing the picture.

Abiel Foster, Jr., was 6 feet tall, well proportioned
and weighed about 220 lbs. He had light hair, a fair
complexion and, being an excellent penman, he was for
30 years Justice of the Peace in Canterbury, drawing a
large number of legal papers. In politics he was a Fed-
eralist. In 1836 he removed to Columbus, Ohio, taking
daughters Augusta, Sarah and, perhaps, Catherine with
him. His son, Abiel, was then principal of the Columbus
High School and his daughters, Eliza and Martha Jane,
matrons or teachers in state institutions. In 1843 he
removed to Solon, Ohio, where he lived with his daughters,
Susan Stephens and Nancy Hannaford until his death
there Feb. 24, 1846.

Susannah (Moore) Foster was very deaf in her later
years. A silhouette of her is treasured in the family of
Paul M. Chamberlain, as is also a remarkable letter to her
step-father, Col. McCrillis, from Abiel Foster, Jr., asking
for her hand in marriage . She died at Solon, Ohio, June
22, 1853. Eleven children.

205 XI. Stephen, b. July 5, 1776. He never saw his father, Capt.
Samuel Moore, who died seven months before he was bom.
He married Feb. 6, 1800, at Goffstown, Phebe Sawyer

228 The Descendants of

Kimball, born Jan. 21, 1781 (daughter of Calebe, Benj.*,
Jonathans, Benj.2, Richardi). They lived on the farm
originally owned by his father, later known as the D. C.
Tenney place, recently the Carter and Pickard place. The
house is the original, long, one-story, parallel with the
road. Across the door yard and down in the pasture a
road ran direct to the old Tavern property, crossing the
brook by a bridge still to be seen. Stephen Moore,
styled "Col." on some of the Town records, had
light hair and blue eyes, and was medium-sized in frame.
He died July 25, 1846. He had been haying, was taken
sick and died the next day. His wife died at Mrs. Eliza
French's at Lawrence, Mass., May 30, 1862. Mar. 8, 1835,
they both "owned the covenant" in the church at Canter-
bury Center. He was a farmer. Their white marble
monument is a prominent object in the Moore corner of
the Canterbury Center burying ground. They had 12
children, of whom one, Martha K., born 1818, lived well
into her 94th year.

200

Children of Thomas Moore and Comfort Perkins:

I. Polly. She lived nearly all her life with her youngest sister
Myra in Sandwich and was buried there, at 70, unmarried.

II. Samuel. He lived in Loudon on a farm near the Canterbury
line, on a hill commanding a view of 8 villages and of Mt.
Kearsarge, 20 miles away. It is now owned by the Dod-
bridge Wheeler estate and the buildings are vacant. Mrs.
Ellen NichoUs who lived and died in another state paid a
visit in 1887 to her Aunt Charlotte's old home to find the
lilac bushes so grown about the door that she could hardly
get in. It was pathetic, she wrote, to see the same wall
paper of her childhood and, outside, the peonies and white
roses and the "comfey" root in the garden, once well
cared for.

Mr, James O. Prescott, now living at Batavia, N. Y.,
was an adopted son of Samuel and Charlotte Moore, and
lived on the old farm from 1849 to 1861. They had only
one child, Katherine, who married Ira G. Rowe of Gates,
Monroe Co., N. Y. She died Aug. 15, 1884, both being
buried at Rochester, N. Y., their home for many years.

through part of the home farm. In 1866 Stephen Moore
removed to Loudon Mills, leaving home place to son An-

v. Mahalabeel, b. Oct. 27, 1807 (bap. June 24, 1808). Owing
to a change in his name in early life his identity eluded
discovery, the history of Pembroke where he died being
conspicuously in error in attributing his fatherhood to
"Stephen, who was born in England." The error was
discovered after the writer had run down a "Henry M.
Moore" of Concord, who was a quartermaster of the 11th
Eeg. in 1847, finding his birth to have been Oct., 1807, in
Canterbury. The only Moore born in that month and

C.vpT. Samuel Moor 239

year was Mahalabeel, son of Reuben, whereupon it de-
veloped in correspondence with the late Hon. Henry M.
Baker of Bow that they were one and the same. The
following interesting story is told: In his youth Mahala-
beel was apprenticed to a carpenter and as was the cus-
tom of the times he was taken into the family of his
master, whose good wife, in the language of the present
day, refused to "stand for" his long and unpronounce-
able Biblical "Christian" name and called him Henry,
This name he adopted and placed in front of his given
name. Henry M. Baker was named after him, but the
"M. " stands for Moore, not Mahalabeel. That H. M,
Moore was a carpenter is shown by a deed of Dec. 9, 1828,
when he bought 112 sq. rods of land in Loudon village for
$200 of H. S, Morrison, describing himself as "carpenter."
He removed to Concord, however, as his permanent home.

James Baker. She d. Concord, Jan. 2], 1872; buried

CHILDREN OF NATHANIEL MOORE AND ELIZABETH

MORRILL :

[See letter of Horatio Nelson Moore (1880)]
I. "A female, died in the poor house in Loudon. She must have
been about 100 years old." This extract from a letter of
Horatio Nelson Moore of Seattle in 1880 is the only in-
formation we have. Poor house records are not to be
found. She was probably unmarried and if she lived until
about 1850 most of her relatives had departed to other
towns or had died, leaving her alone.

II. ' ' One married a Danf ord and lived in Orange. ' ' This extract
from the H. N. Moore letter is all the knowledge we have
of her except a tradition in the Hanies branch that one
"married Moses Danforth and lived in Orange." The
Orange town records are very meagre and without search-
ing Deeds and Probate records the line would be hard to
follow. History of Sanbornton has "Jeremiah (Jerry)
m, and owned a farm in Orange, and it is probably he
who married a daughter of Nathaniel Moore. He was son
of Moses Danforth, who m. Molly Flood and lived in San-
burton on the Plains, near the present Bay road and the
Danforth Brook. This log house among the original apple
trees is well remembered to have been standing as late as
1840" (p. 209, vol. 2). Thomas was one of Sanbornton 's
original settlers, about 1764.

III. "Abigail, 'Aunt Nabby, ' as she used to be called, remained
unmarried." So wrote H. N. Moore. She probably lived
to a considerable age, but the books of Canterbury and
Loudon do not record her name.

IV. ' ' Elizabeth, married Joseph Bennett. ' '

BENNETT
In the first United States Census (1790) Joseph Ben-
nett of Loudon (there was no Bennett listed in Canter
bury) had a family of two adult females but no children.
Loudon and Canterbury records give no Bennett genealogi-
cal information and there appear to have been no private
records. Among the graves at the Loudon Center churcii
yard are those of Jeremiah, died 1791, "S. B." died 1818,
fc'arah Bennett, died 1825 at 40 yrs. and Lemuel died 1818
at 24 yis. No connection has been traced between any of
these and Joseph, the head of this branch. The record of
the death of Levi Bennett, the sou of Joseph, in the town

"270 The Descendants of

book of Canterbury, states that his father (Joseph Bennett)
was born in Sandown, N. H., his mother's name being
Elizabeth. The records of Sandown and other towns have
not been examined.

A number of the Bennetts are said to have been "Os-
goodites, ' ' a small religious sect which flourished about
1830 in the central portion of New Hampshire. Many of
those of Canterbury are buried on "Zion's Hill" a private
graveyard originally on a farm but now part of a pasture
and sugar orchard owned by Frank S, Davis. There are
no marked Bennett stones. An interesting account of this
defunct religious organization may be found in Lyford's
History of Canterbury.

Joseph Bennett married at a date unknown, Elizabeth
Moore, probably at the homestead of Nathaniel Moore,
her father, which was the one occupied in his later years
after he moved from Canterbury to Loudon. It was on
the edge of Loudon near the Clough Pond portion of Can-
terbury.

As Joseph Bennett and Elizabeth are, by family tradi-
tion, said to have lived and died in Canterbury it is proba-
ble that the place occupied by Levi, their son, was built
by them. Others of Levi's generation and the succeeding
generation built in the same vicinity and the locality be-
came known as ' ' Bennettville, ' ' Most of the houses are
still remembered by the older inhabitants of Canterbury.
All of these places of residence are now gone and even the
cellars are barely discernible. Levi Bennett's place was ou
that portion of the east and west range road in the south-
ern part of the town which, somewhat further west, bor-
dered the original John Moore place on the south. Levi
Bennett lived on his place about 1850 for a number of
years, probably till his death in 1863. Later when the new
road was built to avoid the hill at his house the old road
became disused. There are lilac bushes still at the site.
The house evidently had basement rooms. One of the sons
lived a little farther west and others of the family built
small houses on the north and south range road running
north at that point, the only occupied place on same at this
date (1917) being the residence of Mr. J. S. Scales.

Joseph Bennett was a large fine-looking man with
black eyes. His wife Elizabeth was of medium height and
stout. The dates of birth and death of neither are re-
corded. They are supposed to have been buried on Zion's
Hill or at Canterbury Center.

The children of Joseph and Elizabeth Bennett are
given by their granddaughter, Abigail Elliott, as follows

Nathaniel Moore 271

(order of birth not known, Levi probably being the oldest) :
Martha, David, Levi, Joseph, Amos, Gilman, Rhoda and
Hannah.

Ezekial Moore, born Mar. 4, 1763, married Sept. 19, 1790,
Alice Morrill, born Amesbury, Mass., Jan. 11, 1770, and
died, Canterbury, July 18, 1818, from falling
down the cellar stairs in early morning, mistaking the door
for the outside door. She left a large family, all of his
children, eleven in number, being by her. Eight of them
were probably born on the Gibson place (latterly Dear-
born), but Matthias was born in the "block house" where
Mrs. John Snyder's house now is, and the remaining chil-
dren— ^Esther and Phoebe — were born in the new home
built in 1811 by Ezekial Moore, the house recently occu-
pied by George F. Blanchard, now the summer home of
Mrs. F. T. Jackman of Concord, the block house being used
only temporarily during the construction of the new house.
At the age of 16, Ezekial Moore served 27 days (Sept.,
1779) in Captain Sias' Company in Piscataqua Harbor.
He was a private in Captain Webster's Company, Col.
Nichols' Regiment, and joined the Continental Army at
West Point July, 1780, serving 3 months and 21 days (N.
H. Rolls 2-697 and 3-148). September 23, 1780, he was
at West Point when Arnold's treason was discovered, and
on October 2, 1780, the 17-year old lad from New Hamp-
shire saw the execution of Major Andre at noon, on the
slight rise of ground at Tappan, N. Y., now called "Trea-
son Hill." We may suppose that his aged grandfather,
Ensign John Moore, listened to his experiences with relish,
proud to have had a grandson amid such stirring scenes.
Nine months after he became 21 years old, in 1784, Ezekial
received from his grandfather the old home place "where
I now live." In 1792 Nathaniel and Elizabeth also deeded
the same place to him. He may have lived there in the
original home until 1802 when he bought lots 39, 40 and
41 of Samuel Moore, Jr., his cousin. In 1809 Ezekial and
Alice sold this place (which became known as the Gibson
homestead, latterly the A. L. Dearborn place) buying a
farm without buildings of Obediah Mooney, the school
master, erecting a new home there in 1810-11, the resi-
dence of the late George F. Blanchard. Ezekial Moore
was a considerable trader in real estate, frequently buying
and selling, at one time owning property in Canterbury,
Northfield, Orange, Gilmanton and Bristol. For many
j'ears, 14 at least, (see History of Northfield) he was the

272 The Descendants op

carrier of the U. S. mails on horseback from town to town.
He sold out in 1825 and the same year he removed to
Bristol, the home of his second wife, Ma,ry Merrill, whom
he married Feb. 10, 1823. Before removing to Bristol he
lived for a few years on the French or Hannaford
place in Northfield near the railroad crossing.

The following letter to Ezekial Moore gives evidence
of his prominence and also illustrates the high-sounding
character of the political appeals of the times. That the
situation, whatever it was, warranted so much solemnity,
is hard at this day to believe.

' ' To Mr. Ezekial Moore —

Sir — ^At a meeting of the republican Citizens of Canterbury
holden at the house of Mr. Abner Haines on the 4th day
of July 1814. VOTED that you the sd Ezekial, together
with Capt. Thomas Curry and Mr. Samuel Tallent be a
committee for encouraging and strengthening the friends
of the General Government and of Liberty to come forward
at the Meeting to be holden in August next to testify their
fidelity to the cause of Liberty and the rights of free Citi-
zens by giving their suffrages for such Men to represent
this State in the Congress of the United States who are
true friends to the Interest of their own Country and who
will defend its rights against foes without and their advo-
cates within — it is hoped and expected that you will use your
influence (especially with some of your brothers) to con-
vince them of the necessity of Supporting the General
Government and the measures they have taken to secure
our freedom — for surely if we will not give them our sup-
port they cannot protect us — You will confer with Capt.
Curry and Mr. Tallint and do whatever you think expedient
for the public good especially that you encourage all the
friends to Government to be punctual to attend at the
Meeting for the purpose aforesaid * *

"N. B. The Citizens of Canterbury at their Meeting afore-
said Chose a General committee consisting of five Viz-Col.
Morrill Shepherd, Leavitt Clough, Jr. Esq. Ezekial Mor-
rill, Lt. Samuel A. Morrill and Jonathan AyeT, Esq., whose
duty it is to correspond with you and the several commit-
tees in the other school districts for the purpose of Sup-
porting the cause of Liberty and Freedom.

By order of the meeting
Eespectfully yours John Sutton, Clerk

Nathaniel IMoore 273

Canterbury July the 14th, 1814."

Runnels in his history of Sanbornton (p. 334) says
"Ezekial Moore of Canterbury was the first mail carrier
through the town from Concord to Plymouth. He brought
the mail once a week on horseback, distributing the 'Colum-
bian Centinel' and a few other newspapers to subscribers
along the route. He sold out to Samuel Tallant, erro-
neously stated by some to have been the first mail carrier."

Ezekial Moore died March 12, 1841, at the age of 77,
at Bristol. In 1855 his widow, in her 80th year, applied for
a pension, which was refused as he had not served six
months (N. H. Pension Rolls 2-697 and 3-148). She died
Oct. 1, 1875 (History of Bristol) at the age of 95 yrs. and
9 mos. in the family of George M. Wooster. She was born
Mary Barnard, Dec. 30, 1779, at Warner, daughter of Eze-
kial Barnard. She married 1st Jonathan Merrill, born
1777, who died in 1820 in his 43d year. They had one
child, Rosanna, born 1812, who married Eleazor Wooster,
and had George M. Wooster.

Ezekial Moore had 11 children and left many descend
ants, nearly all of his children having large families.

A persistent search for the burial place of Ezekial
Moore, who was known to have died in Bristol, N. H., in
the home of his second wife, resulted in the Summer of
1916 in the surprising discovery that his bones lie along-
side the end of a vacant farm house about a mile south of
Bristol at a locality known as "Profile Falls."

Two aged people, still living, in the vicinity, have
stated that it was always reported that Ezekial Moore was
buried ' ' under the window ' ' at this place. At a point
back of a lilac bush, about 8 feet from the north end of the
house, a significant depression was found.

Mary Barnard Merrill Moore, his second wife (he was
her second husband), who lived to the great age of 95
years, is reported by those who remember her as having
been very generous and hospitable. It is said that Ezekial
Moore and she did not agree very well and that at the time
of his death she was not inclined to provide a more suitable
place for his burial. There was, however, no public cem-
etery within several miles as the Bristol burial ground was
not opened until more than 10 years after Ezekial Moore's
death.

It is expected that some of his descendants will, on
learning the facts, seek to re-inter his remains in the ceme-
tery at Bristol and also provide an appropriately marked
stone for their great-grandfather, the first Mail Carrier

and Revolutionary soldier, who, a mere boy, shouldered hi&
flint-lock musket and manfully did his part in the success-
ful struggle for Independence.

The farm, formerly the Wooster homestead, has been
owned for a number of years by B. B, Tobie, Esq., the
lawyer of Franklin.

"VT. John, b. 1765, married Tabitha Davis, born Boscawen, not
given in Davis Genealogy by N. W. Davis, in Town His-
tory of Canterbury. Her parentage is unknown. Their
finely preserved slate grave stones may be seen in the
Moore corner of the large yard at Canterbury Center. He
died June 15, 1837, at 72. She died Nov. 4, 1849, at 84.
They were one of the last families to reside in the original
Ensign John Moor house on lot 106, their daughter Buth,
who married "William Whicher, being the last. It is family
tradition that Judith G. Moore was bom there, and if so
it was probably the home of the earlier born, Euth, 1797,
Abraham, 1799, Hugh, 1802. Afterward the family re-
moved to the small low one-story house, not finished off
up stairs and not painted, which stood until about 1855 on
the %-acre lot in the corner of the Lt. William Moore
place at the crossroads. It is probable that the house was
built by "Uncle Johnny Moore," as he was called. It
was torn down after not over fifty years of existence and
the boards were used to make a stake and withe fence
when Ary Sargent married the widow of Samuel GUman
and the lot was again merged with the older property from
which it had been taken. The first it is found recorded
as a separate property is Feb. 1, 1823, when the quarter
acre (N. E. corner of lot No. 55) was sold by Adoniram
Coburn to Abraham Moore, son of John, for the small
sum of $80, which would hardly indicate the presence of
any house on it. There never was much of a barn con-

Nathaniel Xoore 275

neeted with the house. There is now a slight depression
indicating the location of the cellar. Mrs, Wheeler recalls
as a school girl Mrs. Tabitha Moore, with cap flying,
chasing the boys and girls who came to play at the well.
This was about 1830. John Moore was slender and of
medium height. They had six children:

1 Euth, m. William Whicher.

2 Abraham, m. Charlotte W. Cutter,

3 Hugh, m, Sarah L, Winn

4 William, m, Mary Barton.

5 Judith, m, Moses M. Emery.

6 Sally, m. Josiah S. Hodgdon.

VII. Josiah. Birth and death and place of burial unknown. He
is recalled by only one person, Sylvanus C. Moore, who
remembers "old Uncle 'Siah" and how when a very small
boy he journeyed across a field with his little sister Harriet
carrying something for him to drink. They spilt his
"grog" and had occasion to remember it. He was cut-
ting faggots. This was about 1836 and he "must have
been sixty to seventy years old then." He was probably
older than that for in 1787 Josiah witnessed, with his
brother, Nathaniel, Jr., the deed of his father, Nathaniel,
to lot 165 "where I now live." He was probably bom
shortly after John, whose birth was in 1765. In 1791
Josiah Moore married Sarah Scales, according to Canter-
bury town record. Mrs, Wheeler recollects that it was
said of him that before his marriage he had several
"girls." On one occasion when he didn't know which
one to go to see he stuck a stick in the ground and de-
clared whichever way the stick fell he would go. It fell
toward "old man Scales" and he noticed it often fell
that way afterward, Sarah (or SaUy) Scales was proba-
bly daughter of Edward Scales, and if so was born Apr.
3, 1764, Her father was a tailor in Canterbury, b, Ports-
mouth 1727, residing Durham till 1760, Lee till about 1780
and Canterbury afterward. He also conducted a farm in
Canterbury, He married July 26, 1750, Susannah Willey.
He was son of Edward and Sarah (Haines) Scales of
Portsmouth and was brother of the Rev. James Scales, the
early preacher and prominent man in Canterbury, The
family dates, in England, from Hugh de Eschalers of the
Norman Conquest.

The family lived on the "Shepard" lot, No. 143, The
remains of the cellars of the house and of the bam may
still be seen. Presumably all their children were bom

2/76 The Descendants op

there. Ls-ter it was the home of Hannah and James Moore.
Nathaniel Moore, father of Josiah, bought lot No. 143 in
1763. Whether he lived on this lot, building the house
there, cannot be told. It may have been his home in Can-
terbury and where some of his large family were born. In
1793 Ezekial, his son, and brother of Josiah, sold 15^
acres of lot 148 to Jedediah Dauforth of Canterbury for
nine pounds. This was evidently the same 15% acres
owned by Josiah in 1825 and the same which Hannah,
Jeremiah and James, his children, owned at various times
thereafter. Josiah Moore in 1820 owned 11 acres of lot
147. In 1825 his son, Jeremiah, owned the same.

Josiah and Sarah had five children. Of these only
Isaac and James are known to have had descendants.
Owing to the lack of vital records the tracing of Josiah 's
line was difficult, but due to well remembered characteris-
tics it is highly interesting and is reasonably complete.
Children of Josiah Moore and Sarah Scales:

1 Hannah, unmarried.

2 Jeremiah, wife not known.

3 Jonathan, wife not known.

4 Isaac, m. Ehoda Bennett.

5 James, m. Sarah Peasley.

VTII. Jonathan, born 1775. His wife was Sally Glines, born 1779.
Very little is known of this family. They lived in Can-
terbury for a while, at one time at the east end of lot No.
110, the house, then on a "range" road, now abandoned,
having long since disappeared. In 1820, one of the daugh-
ters, Betsey, was born there. Her mother, Sally, used to
do spinning at various houses. Doubtless of the large
Glines family of Canterbury, her direct ancestry has not
been traced

In 1826 Jonathan MIoore leased, for his lifetime, of
his brother, David, then of Cambridge, Mass., parts of lots
165, 166, 167 and 168. The tract was probably those por-
tions which were westerly of the road, substantially as now
existing, and formed a large triangular piece of land. So
far as known no house was built on it unless it was on
lot 167, where many years later Alfred Abbott resided.

Jonathan Moore and his family removed to the town
of Stowe, Vermont, where he was a farmer, residing in the
westerly portion of this rugged Green Mountain settlement.
There in 1852, Anna, daughter of Betsey and Thomas P.
Carter, was born. Both Jonathan and Sally Moore are
buried in "The Branch" cemetery in Stowe. They both

Nathaniel IMioore 277

died in the same year and have one grave stone: "Jona-
than Moore died Oct. 12, 1850, aged 75 years. Sarah, his
wife, died March 20, 1850, aged 71 years."
Children of Jonathan Moore and Sarah Glines:

1 David, m. Olive P. Huse.

2 Clough, d. unmarried,

3 William P., m. Hannah M. Downer.

4 Betsey, m. Thos. P. Carter.

IX. David, b. Sept. 30, 1779; d. Apr. 20, 1862, at 83. He m.
Nov. 27, 1806, Hannah, daughter of John Buswell, a Lieu-
tenant under General LaFayette during the Revolutionary
War. David Moore was called ' ' Doctor. ' ' He had red
or sandy hair, walked on his heels and had some pecu-
liarities which have been remembered. At one period
of his life he worked out as a farm hand and it was
said that he "always greased his hoe and put it
under his bed every night" from which it may be seen
that a good workman takes care of his tools. His first
child was born in Candia in 1807, the next "in Vermont"
in 1809, the next in Canterbury in 1812, the next three
in Candia, 1814, 1815 and 1818. A^an Rensselaer (or "Rans-
eleer, " as he was called) was born in 1821. At one time,
probably the latter part of his life, David Moore lived in
a small old house in Canterbury in the corner of the road
opposite John P. Kimball's where the cross-road begins.
The well is still to be seen at the edge of the wall. The
house disappeared many years ago.

Hannah (Buswell) Moore was a tall, dignified woman
of fine character. She is said to have read the Bible
through 74 times. The line of David and Hannah Moore
expires with the present generation.
Children of David Moore and Hannah Buswell:

1 Horatio N., m. Jane B. Googing.

2 Alexis W. m. Sarah Rowell.

3 Cynthia H., d. young.

4 Van Rensselaer, d. young.

5 Caroline J., d, young.

6 Orville B., d. unmarried.

7 Van Rensselaer, m. Abbie J. Hutchins.

X. Nathaniel. The letter of H. N. Moore did not mention
Nathaniel as a son of Nathaniel. He was nevertheless,
unquestionably such though his birth, death and place of
burial are unknown. In the 1790 Census there was only
one Nathaniel Moore. Nath. Junior, is first in evidence in
1787, when he and his brother Josiah witnessed a deed

278 The Descendants op

of his fatlier to Ezekial, another brother. In 1797 Nat'l
and Polly (Mary) Moore of Danville, Vt., sold a lot of
40 acres there to Ezekial Moore. This was executed in
1800, and recorded in 1810. In Feb., 1801, Natl was in
Canterbury a witness to a deed and again on Nov. 4, 1806.
Meanwhile the only other knowledge of him is on the town
record of Orange, N. H., where the following children are
recorded for Nat'l and Mary Moore: Eufus, b. June 25,
1800; True, b. Nov. 4, 1803; Hiram, b. Jan. 27, 1805. We
are told in H. N. Moore's letter that "one married a Dan-
ford and lived in Orange." Mr. Haines' copy of Mat-
thias Moore's genealogy states that one of the children of
Nathaniel senior, married Moses Danforth of Orange. The
records of that town are meagre and no further facts are
forthcoming from the Town Clerk or are on file at Con-
cord in the State Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Runnel's History of Sanbornton gives a Nathaniel
Moore (residence not stated) as marrying Dorothy Bam-
ford, April 3, 1805, Rev. Mr. Woodman's record being his
authority. It is hardly likely that it was Nathaniel of
Orange, whose child Hiram was born only 2 months before.

The omission of this line is important. The number
of descendants is probably considerable. The family of
Nathaniel Moore, Jr., probably emigrated to some other
town, possibly in Vermont or New York. The last clue is
in a deed of Nathaniel Moore, Jr., dated Oct. 31, 1812, dis-
posing of property in Orange bought of Mary Shepard
March 2, 1811.

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH BENNETT AND ELIZABETH

MOORE :

I. Martha, married John Wilson of Windham and had three
children, John, Annis and Clarissa. John is said to have
kept a general merchandise store in Lowell, Mass.

300 II. David, d. at age of 55 yrs., Canterbury; m. Polly Cole of
Orange; both buried Canterbury. He was a laborer and
buUt at different times two small houses in ' ' BennettvUle, ' '
one of which, a two-roomed cottage, stood in the rangeway.
They lived in Thornton, where she died, and in Ellsworth.
Seven children: Abigail, Ruth, Elizabeth, Byron, Andrew
J., Amos and George W.

III. Joseph. Tradition says he married a March. New Hampton
town record states that Joseph Bennett, Jr., of Canterbury
and Sally Colby of Holderness were married Mar. 10, 1818

Nathaniel Mjoore 279

He was a farmer and removed to his father-in-law's place
in Holderness, where they lived and died. They had two
children : Martha, who married a Smith, and T. Folsom, who
with his son, John, were in Charlestown, Mass., in the
trucking business. Sadie, the only other child of T. Fol-
som Bennett, was a well known singer and married Dr.
Osgood, a dentist of Boston.

301 IV. Levi, b. 1788 in Loudon, d. in Canterbury April 3, 1863, "at
75 yrs. of age of erysipelas." He m. June 29, 1813,
Abigail, daughter of James Chase of Canterbury. Their
house, probably built by his father, Joseph, was the larg-
est of the BennettvUle places. She died some time before
him at the home of her daughter, Abigail Elliott. They

lived on the Glines place in Canterbury, near Northfield
line, on the Tilton road. In his time his farm, now owned
by Frank Plastridge, was one of the finest in town. Col.
Matthias Moore was a prominent citizen of the town. He
had charge of the training of the military company. He
was tendered a colonel's commission at outbreak of the
Civil War but declined on account of his age. He resided
for some years in Boston and later in Waltham. Col.
Moore was strongly interested in the history of his ances-
try. He gave many facts to Mr. John Haines of "Waltham.
He was reputed to have left a genealogy which possibly
contained valuable information. In his early years many
of the second generation in Canterbury still lingered on
the scene. It is probable that substantially all his records
were copied by Mr. John Haines about 1880.

CHILDREN OF JOSIAH MOORE AND SARAH SCALES:

I. Hannah, b. 1786, Canterbury; d. Aug. 28, 1868 (gravestone
"at 82 years and 11 months"), at Rose, Wis. She was
never married and was known to all as "Aunt Hannah."
While in Canterbury she lived with her brother, James
Moore, who had but one arm. They resided in a small
house which disappeared over 50 years ago, a small cellar

Nathaniel Moore 317

and a lilac bush being the only remaining signs of a home,
which was located on lot 105, during its last few years the
home of John T. G. Emery. They lived for the greater
part of the time, however, on lot 143 in what is now a
pasture, just south of Horse Shoe pond. In 1844 Jonathan
C, Greenough sold to Hannah Moore 10 acres, the same
John Greenough conveyed to Josiah Moore in 1825. Of
this same lot, probably where Josiah Moore built his home,
Jeremiah Moore in 1825 owned 15^4 acres.

Hannah Moore was a thrifty person, while her brother
was of a convivial disposition. Canterbury people relate
that when he would come home she would reproach him,
saying, "Here you are again and here I am spinning for
you." To this he would reply, "Spin-a-wee, spin-a-wee.
Tin Cints."

Both Hannah and James removed to the vicinity of
the "Woodward family at Rose, Wis., shortly after they
settled there. He remained only a few years, after a dis-
agreement leaving for the East, with his carpet bag, never
to return. She was finally taken care of after she sold her
farm, by her niece, Mrs. Sarah E. Woodward. The pur-
chaser of the farm dug it all over for money she was sup-
posed to have buried there. The log house is still stand-
ing.

II. Jonathan. Canterbury town record has his death in July,
1859, of consumption, a widower, at age of 60. This indi-
cates that he was born 1799, making him, probably, the
second child of his parents. In 1826 he witnessed two
family deeds in Canterbury and in the same year he made
an Agreement concerning parts of lots 165, 166, 167 and
168. It was probably he who married, Feb. 12, 1826,
Elizabeth Woodward of Sutton. Children, if any, unknown.

III. Jeremiah. His birth and death are not recorded. In 1825
James Greenough secured an execution against his body;
his laud, a part of lot 147, being appraised at $82, being
the same formerly owned by his father, Josiah Moore,
"Jeremiah being out of the State and in parts unknown."
In Amherst, in 1832, one Jeremiah Moore married Lydia
TiflPts. It is not knovm whether this was he or not.

335 IV. Isaac. Birth and death not recorded. He married Nov. 11,
1825, Rhoda (daughter of Joseph Bennett and Elizabeth-
Moore), his cousin. (See Bennett branch.) They lived
on the Hannah Moore place, north of the Bennettville

houses, a little to the southwest of Horse Shoe pond. The
cellars of house and bam are still to be seen. She died
young. He contracted small-pox in Boston and died there
before 1851. Both buried Canterbury Center. Four chil-
dren.

V. James, b. 1800; d. Feb. 28, 1888, at Merrimack County Farm,
North Boscawen. Early in life, like many other New
Hampshire boys and girls, he worked in a cotton mill in
Lowell, Mass. He had but one arm, the other having been
lost, it is said, while working on a pile driver at Mobile,
Ala. He lived for many years with his sister, Hannah, in
Canterbury. He married, probably not much before 1840,
Sarah Peasely of Hancock, who died in 1845 or 1846, it is
said, from the bursting of a blood vessel, leaving one child,,
Lydia Ann, born 1840.

Father and daughter went to Wisconsin, he remain-
ing but a few years. In 1856 at the age of 16, Lydia Ann
married Moses Richards, a farmer, residing in the town
of Dakota, near Wautoma, Wis. After his death she re-
turned, in the early seventies, to the East, leaving two
young children, Emma and Amanda, born 1861 and 1862
respectively.
336 1 Lydia Ann (Moore) Richards, or Ann S. Richards, ac-

cording to the Pepperell, Mass., records, died there
Jan. 5, 1875, of diphtheria, aged 35 years and 4
months, in the home of her half-sister, Mrs. John
Williams, by whose side she is buried.

335

Children of Isaac Moore and Rhoda Bennett:

337 , L Sarah E., b. (family record) Nov. 24, 1828, in Canterbury.
She lived with her aunt Hannah until she was about 12
years old, her mother having died when she was very
young. She met John B. Woodward while working in the
cotton mills at Fisherville, now Pennacook, N. H., a few
miles from home. He was overseer, b. Nov. 6, 1830, Lit-
tleton, Mass., son of John and Maria (Styles) Woodward,
a farmer who removed to New Hampshire in 1837. John
B. Woodward and Sarah were married in March, 1851, and
a year later their first child, John Moore, was born in Wau-
toma, Wis., of which they were among the first settlers,
Waushara County being a part of the "Indian Lands."

Nathaniel Moore 310

Belinda, her youngest sister, came with them. They stayed
a little over a year and returned to New Hampshire, re-
maining 3 years, during which time their second son, Hen-
ry L., was born in Canterbury, April 25, 1854. On their
return to Wisconsin Belinda and Isaac came with them,
the latter remaining only a year. Mr. "Woodward entered
land from the Government in the north half of Section 35
in the town of Rose before the Indians had finally left
for their new reservation beyond the Mississippi. Their
house was destroyed by fire in 1874.

In 1864 he enlisted in Co. D, 37th Wisconsin Infantry,
and served until the end of the war. He was rejected for
physical disability when the war broke out. "The time
came, however, when they did not reject any man who
could and would fight for the Union."

He became prominent in his town and for 23 years was
chairman of the Board and for two years of the county
board. He died at the age of 74, Nov. 28, 1904. Mrs.
Woodward died Nov. 9, 1912. They lived together 53 years.
They had seven children, of whom one, OrviUe, died at the
age of 3 years. The others are all living, three being

records state that Horatio N. Moore and Eebecca M. Doe

Family know nothing of this. H. N. Moore fortunately
disclosed the Nathaniel Moore line in the following letter
written to his youngest brother, Van Rensselaer, and pre-
served by the latter 's daughters. The re-construction of
this very numerous and important branch was possible
largely through this letter, written in his 72nd year.

"Seattle, W. T., June 10, 1880.
Dear Brother

I have just received your letter in which 1 find in-
closed one from Cousin Matthias Moore asking information

328 The Descendants of

in regard to the Moore family all I know is mostly from
memory having heard but little on the subject, and to
begin I will say that our great-grandfather John Moore
came from Ireland he was a tanner by trade and settled
on a farm near the 4 corners on the left hand side as you
go toward James Tallants as to his immediant descendants
I now nothing except our Grand Father Nathaniel Moore
who I think married a Morrill sister to Cap David Morrills
grandfather by whom he had nine children that lived to
grow up whether he had any more I dont know one a female
died in the Poor House in Loudon She must have been
about 100 years old one married a Danford and lived in
Orange Elizabeth married Joseph Bennett Abigail or Aunt
Naby as she used to be called remained unmarried as to
the boys there was five of them Viz Ezekial, Josiah who
married a Sargent John who married a Davis, Jonathan
who married a Glines David who married Hannah Buswell,
The names of Josiah 's family are Hannah, Jeremiah, Jona-
than Isaac, the names of John's are Ruth, Abram, Hugh,
Judith, William, names of Jonathan's David, Clough, Wil-
liam, Betsey. The names of David's are Horatio N. Alexis
W. B. Cynthia H. Van E Caroline J. Orville B. Van R.
Betsey married Thos P. Carter and now lives in North
Andover Maf s Post Office address is North Andover Depot
Mass. Who the Moore was that owned the James Green-
ough place I do not know unless it was the son of the ori-
ginal John. I never heard of a Nathan Moore. It was
John the father of Nathaniel, our grand father, who used
to live near the four corners. Matthias says he has writ-
ten to New York to find out who the descendants of Uncle
Nathaniel are those are the descendants of grandfather
Nathaniel I have given above If he wants to know the
names of the Bennett family you can give it perhaps bet-
ter than I can. I do not remember of hearing of an Uncle
Nathaniel. Nathaniel was our grandfather. As to the
birth place of our ancestors do not know but think they
were born in Canterbury and Loudon. An answer to the
1st 2 and 3 questions you will find in the body of this letter.
4 what offices they have held in church, state or town none
that I know of. What part any of them took in the War
of the Revolution war of 1812 or the Rebellion, answer
none on my father's side. On my mother's side her father
John Buswell was a Lieutenant under General Lafayette.
None in the war of 1812. Orville can inform you as to
the war of the rebellion.
