  SALLUTATIONS
  
  What better greeting than with a newly discovered twice-done Moore. SANDI
  (Varow48) just found that she has a second Moore family. Her excitement is
  contagious, so enjoy!
  ******
  Lookeee what I found. I'm a Moore twice! Better yet, many of the Moores on
  the list who are also CARTERs are also Moores twice. At least that is the
  supposition at this writing. I was looking at my Brewsters and Thompsons in
  New Haven and Long Island, and it finally hit me that Nathaniel Brewster's
  wife, Sarah Ludlow, shared at least a name with the fourth wife of King
  Carter. They lived about the same time, too, so I started wondering if maybe
  they shared a grandfather as well. My friend is helping me, and she found it
  in 'Genealogical Gleanings in England;' Henry F. Waters, and some guy named
  Virkus whom she doesn't trust. Sarah, 4th w/o John Carter of Corotoman, was
  d/o Gabriel Ludlow (& Phillis ?), s/o Thomas Ludlow (& Jane Pyle), s/o George
  Ludlow (& Edith, d/o Lord Windsor), w/o William Ludlow (& Jane Moore, d/o
  Nicholas Moore of Withford., co. Southampton. I've always known John's 4th
  wife, and m/o King Carter was Sarah Ludlow. Just nothing about her.
  
  Right here, I'm having a slight bout of apoplexy because I THINK that
  Nicholas Moore may have been the adoptive grandfather of Moore Fauntleroy who
  I think came to the colonies with ___ West, and whose gr granddaughter,
  Judith Fauntleroy, married Landon Carter of Pittsylvania. I'm searching high
  and low for my Fauntleroy book and can't find it which is making me nuts.
  I'll have to get back to you on that one. I think I have the info on my web
  page anyhow, so as I send this to you, I think I'll stay on and check. The
  reason the WEST thing is important (or at least interesting) is that
  somewhere in all of this the Ludlows and Thomas West are related. -- HA.
  Henry Ludlow of Hill Deverill and afterwards of Tadley, co. Hants, b. 1577.
  Matriculated at "Aqua Cervina," Oxford, 22 Oct 1591, aged 14. Graduation B.
  A. 17 Dec 1594. Administration 28 Oct 1639. Married Lettice, daughter of
  Thomas West, Lord De La Warre. Henry was s/o Edmund, s/o George, above.
  
  [Sandi must have found her Fauntleroy book, because she sends this followup.]
  Moore the Elder & Moore the Younger? There has been some confusion about
  these two brothers, but it is now understood that there were two Fauntleroy
  sons named Moore. This is proved by the will of Nicholas Moore who adopted
  Phoebe Wilkinson, and in 1617 left all his property to her during her life,
  and after her death to "Moore Fauntleroy, eldest son of John and Phoebe
  Fauntleroy, and in default to Moore Fauntleroy, the younger son of the said
  John and Phoebe Fauntleroy". The two Moores may have been twins, but all we
  can be certain of is that they were born between 1610 and 1617, they not
  being listed in the parish register with the other children. As it turned
  out, both boys lived to adulthood and married. Moore the Elder received his
  bequest, and Moore the Younger came to Virginia in 1643.
  
  
  NEW MEMBERS
  
  DOROTHY (D MEHRER), a new member, submits a wonderful follow up to last
  week's information from the "The Mecklenburg [NC] Signers and Their
  Neighbors:"
  ******My name is Dorothy (Breshon) Mehrer and live in Kirkland, WA (just
  across Lake Washington from Seattle). My mother's maiden name is Moore. In
  her report of Nov 13, Joyce touched my family. I cannot take credit for this
  research as my aunt and uncle, Alice (Zion) and Huston Moore, did years of
  research. I inherited their work.
  
  The immigrant of this line was John Moore, who was born in Ulster, Ireland
  about 1720/30 and died in 1800 in Lincoln Co NC. He married Mary
  McCord1720-1790) about 1750. He served in the Rev War, as did four of his
  sons: William, Alexander, John, and James. Their children:
  
  A) William Moore (Col) b 5 Sept 1751 in Bucks Co, PA; d 15 Apr 1839 and
  buried in Olney Pres Cem, Gaston Co, NC. He married 1) Rebecca Gullick and
  2) Rosanah McCord He and Rebecca are my line.
  
  B) Capt Alexander Moore 13 Dec 1752-24 Nov 1837 and is buried in Goshen Cem.

  ERROL (RBHQ31A@prodigy.com) sends a different "side" of the illusive Peter
  Moore who continually eludes identity. Is this a descendant of one of his
  daughters?
  *****I've been working on my family history for the last 20 years and have
  made a lot of progress in the last two or three years. This year I have
  focused my research on my SATTERFIELD/SUTTERFIELD family, and that is where I
  find my interest in the Moore family.
  
  I am searching for the ancestors of PETER MOORE SATTERFIELD, b. abt 1775. He
  married Mary Rogers in Laurens Co., S.C. in 1801. After this date, I pretty
  well have his life documented, but his ancestors elude me. Family history
  states "Peter Moore Satterfield mother maiden name was MOORE." From the
  research I've already performed I SUSPECT that Peter's parents were either
  Robert and Catherine Satterfield or James and Elizabeth Satterfield (name is
  sometimes spelled SUTTERFIELD), both families from N.C. and S.C. I've just
  started my research on the Moore family, therefore, I don't have a lot of
  Moore information to contribute to the Newsletter. In the near future I'll
  send some census records that I have gathered.

  *****Need further information on the following family. The information is
  from a biography book of northeastern Kansas published 1900.
  
  Henry W Honnell, son of William Honnell and Ellen Wilson, married Miss
  Miranda J Moore, a native of Monroe Co., KY, a dau of Jeremiah Moore and
  Elizabeth Spencer. Jeremiah Moore, born 1797, came to Brown County, KS in
  1856, and resided here for many years, but died in KY, age 77 years old,

  COLONIAL MOORES
  
  
  Source: Old Churches Ministers and Families of Virginia. Bishop William
  Meade. 1966, originally published in 1857.
  Orange County. -- St. Thomas Parish
  
  The principle families connected with the Church in Orange [VA] in Colonial
  times were the Barbours, Bells, Burtons, Campbells, Caves, Chews, Conways,
  Daniels, Madisons, Moores, Ruckers, Shepherds, Taylors, Taliaferos, and
  Whites. Mr. Richard White, who died some years since at the age of ninety,
  was the last communicant connected with the Old Orange Church. With
  comparatively few exceptions, the descendants of these respective families
  continued to retain their attachment to the Church of their fathers, and some
  of them are among its most worthy members.
  
  The following letter has also been received from the same: --
  
  Orange
  County Courthouse, March 7, 1857.
  "Right Rev. and Dear Sir: Since I wrote you some days since, a few items of
  interest in relation to this parish have come to my hands. A single leaf,
  and that somewhat mutilated, of the old vestry book of St. Thomas parish, was
  found among the papers of one of my communicants who died last week, and has
  since been handed to me. From this I am able to ascertain who composed the
  vestry as far back as 1769. The record states: -- 'At a vestry held for St.
  Thomas parish, at the glebe, on Friday, the 1st day of September, 1769,
  present, Rev. Thomas Martin, Eras. Taylor, James Madison, Alexander Waugh,
  Francis Moore, William Bell, Rowland Thomas, Thomas Bell, Richard Barbour,
  William Moore.' The object of their meeting was to take into consideration
  the repairs necessary to be made to the house and other buildings connected
  with the glebe.
  
  "From a private record kept at the time, I also learn that the congregation
  in Orange, in the year 1786, engaged the services of Mr. Waddell, the blind
  Presbyterian minister, to preach for them for two years. He officiated at
  the Brick Church. There was no Episcopal clergyman here at the time. It
  appears that forty pounds were subscribed for him, and it was expected the
  subscription would reach sixty pounds. The Rev. Mr. Balmaine was here
  occasionally at that period, addressing Miss Lucy Taylor, whom he married on
  the 31st day of October 1786. He preached and administered the ordinances
  from time to time, both before and after his marriage. On one occasion, when
  Mr. Waddell preached, we observe he gave notice that he would preach and
  administer the Lord's Supper on the following Sunday.
  
  "I have also ascertained that the Rev. Mr. O'Niel was in Orange in 1796. I
  stated he came in 1797. You make this correction, and also add to the list
  of the families the Thomases and the Waughs. -- Yours very truly and
  affectionately, J. Earnest."
  
  
  RESEARCH
  
  JUDY ALLEY (JudyAlley)
  *****While in the Alabama Archives and History Museum, I found a great book
  on the Thomas, Charles, John and Samuel Moore families of Guilford and
  Rockingham Counties, NC. According to the "background:"
  
  Thomas Moore wrote his will on 9 Feb 1774 and it was recorded on 8 Apr 1774
  in Dorchester Co MD naming his wife and his heirs. Thomas was the son of John
  and Mary Melvill Moore. Mary Melvill Moore (d. 1771) was the daughter of
  David Melvill (1681-1756).
  
  Thomas (son of Thomas and Mary Melvill Moore) married Rachel ? . Their
  children were: Thomas, Charles, James, John, Samuel, David and Henry.
  
  Sometime between 1774 and 1785 Thomas and Rachel moved to NC. There was a
  lawsuit filed pertaining to a will and all the family heirs are listed for
  several generations. It mentioned that Moore was a common name in both MD
  and NC.
  
  Anyone with this line should look for the following book:

  MOORE MISCELLANY
  
  The following excerpt is from the newly published "Hallowed Ground,
  Preserving America's Heritage," by Rudy Abramson with photographs by
  Kenneth Garrett and Jack Kotz. The pictures of the Virginia countryside are
  breathtaking and the prose is interesting, colorful and lively, written by a
  journalist who has researched his subject well. The book was inspired by
  Disney's attempt two years ago to build a theme park near Manassas VA in
  Prince William County. No one knew until all the land had been purchased
  that the countryside was destined to become a theme park. A lively debate
  and thunderous objections from all over America ensued, and Disney walked
  away from Virginia. Here are a few other plaudits for this outstanding
  publication.
  
  ..... Here, in a heartfelt combination of text and photographs, but
  attractive and authentic, is a panoramic explication of an American heritage
  worth fighting to preserve. This volume, which is at once a celebration and a
  symbol of resolve, can be the rock around which the forces of historical
  preservation can rally when the time comes and the need arises. -- Shelby
  Foote, Author of 'The Civil War: A Narrative.'
  
  .....The words and magnificent photographs in these pages are a transporting
  experience. This is home ground for all Americans, wherever they may live or
  whatever their origins. Here is a landscape like none other, in fact and in
  the national memory. Rudy Abramson and photographers Kenneth Garrett and
  Jack Kotz have caught Virginia's spirit of place exactly and remind us again
  of those treasures in our heritage that are truly priceless. -- David
  McCullough, Author of 'Truman.'
  
  .....This book makes a compelling and gloriously illustrated case for
  preserving one of the great historic and cultural landscapes in America. It
  will surely persuade a larger audience of what many of us have known for a
  long time: the Virginia Piedmont is an irreplaceable national treasure. --
  Richard Moe, President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
  ******
  Excerpts:
  "By 1700, the population of the Virginia Colony had grown to 58,000, and it
  was increasing at the rate of more than 20 percent each decade. Into the
  Piedmont rolled a wave of settlement, stimulated by the steady arrival of new
  immigrants from Europe, the deterioration of Tidewater soil by repeated
  planting of tobacco, and the enticement of land speculators. The westward
  movement became a primary objective of the colonial government in
  Williamsburg during the administration of Alexander Spotswood, a combative
  and ambitious lieutenant governor.
  
  ... "On the Rapidan River, some thirty miles above the falls of the
  Rappahannock in present-day Orange County, he planned to locate a settlement
  of Tuscaroras who had moved into Virginia from North Carolina. The site was
  precisely where the main Iroquois hunting trail crossed the river.
  
  As a further incentive, he offered to station a minister, a teacher, and a
  small military detail in the village and to send Englishmen regularly to
  trade for furs. Evidently, this was not enough for tribal leaders, for they
  led their people back to North Carolina.
  
  Spotswood was undeterred. Rangers riding the frontier had reported finding
  silver and iron ore in the Rappahannock Valley, so the governor decided to
  establish a mining village at the site spurned by the Tuscaroras.
  
  .... "In the spring of 1714, the governor constructed his fortress with funds
  provided by the Virginia Assembly. Behind its walls, he settled the nine
  families, totaling forty-two men, women, and children, and named the place
  Germanna in honor of the residents' homeland and in tribute to Queen Anne.
  It was an important event in the opening of the Piedmont.
  
  ...."Although his encouragement of settlement and his steps to provide
  security on the frontier did much to open the Piedmont, Spotswood is best
  remembered as the first Englishman to reach the Shenandoah Valley. In 1716,
  when rangers discovered a passage over the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap, the
  governor quickly organized an expedition and personally led the first venture
  to stake England's claim to the land beyond the mountains.
  
  "With great fanfare, he departed the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg on
  August 20, waving to an excited crowd as he grandly rode away in his open
  carriage. At Germanna, he assembled a part of sixty-three horsemen,
  including rangers, Indian guides, and social friends accompanied by servants.
  Marching behind a trumpet and a pack of hounds, they set off into the
  wilderness, followed by a string of pack horses loaded with supplies, hunting
  gear, and an awesome quantity of liquor."

   "My grandmother (nearly 104 years old) lived near her grandfather, Jarvis C. Moore. He was born in 1840something and died when he was 94. My grandmother was his first grandchild. He lived for many years after she was born. He used to talk about the family a lot. Jarvis was a grandson of Lewis Moore, son of Isaac and Sally. Nimrod lived in the area (Ohio), too. My grandmother said they were definitely brothers, so I am sure she knows what she is talking about."

   "According to my grandmother, Rena Melvina MOORE LYND who was born in 1899 and is still living (1999), Nimrod and Isaac were brothers. She said that her grandfather, Jarvis C. MOORE (who was born in 1845 and old enough to know both Nimrod and Isaac before they died), used to sit her on his lap and tell her tales about the past and family connections. She was rather certain of the fact that Nimrod and Isaac were brothers. Although I have not found a record of Isaac's baptism in Maryland, I did find Nimrod's and Priscilla's (I do not have Priscilla's entered on the database but I do have it), I am listing him as a child of Benjamin & Margere. Nimrod and Isaac (and possibly Benjamin) migrated from Maryland to Rockingham County, NC then to Grayson Co., VA, where Nimrod died. Nimrod's widow and Isaac & his wife, Sally, all then migrated to Lawrence County, OH where all three died."
   
   !MILITARY: Is he the Benjamin MOORE who was in the Rev. War from North Carolina?
   
   !RESEARCH: Recommend trying to find baptismal record of Isaac in the same parish to prove connection and to further research the Dorchester County MOOREs who went to North Carolina.

   ...Austin Bledsoe...an awfully good clue, especially when used with some of the other non-Moore surnames such as Barber. Bledsoe is also found in these two counties.
   
   I'm seeing a group of Moores who were in Spotsylvania and Orange Co in the 1700s. They married Barbers, and some of the given names were Amos and Enock show up as well.
   
   You're working a little beyond the time period and the places I'm familiar with. My deep research applied to Virginia (with some ventures into Piedmont North Carolina, New Jersey, and Maryland); but it pretty well ended by about 1800.
   
   Some of these people may be in Wythe County, Virginia around 1800. I carried this county into 1800 because it was such a late county. Extraction of abstracts are below. At least some of the names you reference are there. Maybe you'll find something here that will ring a few bells for you.
   
   Best of luck to you and your family in your searches.

   [This is in rough data base format - not pretty, but all the facts are
   there, including the source. The top line of each item is the date and the subject of the item. The bracketed informtion is the source. You'll note there were some good ole party girls there in the beginning, but some more respectable Moores came in later on who don't seem to be connected to the party girls. I don't know where the party girls came from.]
   
   Wythe was formed in 1790 from Montgomery County.
