Moore Line - English?  ~ I have another MOORE line on my father's side (this is my mother's side) that was ALSO in Madison County, Kentucky, and I have a sneaking suspicion my parents, unknown to the them, were distant cousins :)

Our John Moore (whose signature is above) was from the Isle of Wight area and associated with the churches and members in the following article from the History of Isle of Wight.

Religious History and Churches.

In 1772, the Rev. John Meglamore, from Raccoon Swamp, now Antioch church, Sussex county, preached and baptized a number of people; these people, on July 2nd, 1774, met near the site of the present church and organized themselves into a Baptist church, with David Barrow as pastor, under his name. For seventeen years this church was called "The Church in Isle of Wight," or "David Barrow's Church." In 1791 it assumed its present name. This old church sent out colonies at a later period to Smithfield, Moore's Swamp, Tucker Swamp and Bethesda.

The first meeting house of this church was built in 1832 and repaired and remodeled in 1895. It is now a brick structure with a seating capacity of several hundred. It has a large congregation and is in a flourishing condition. The yearly protracted meetings or revivals at this old church are of special note. While the same custom prevails in other churches in this vicinity, yet, on account of the length of time they have been held at Mill Swamp, the hospitality of its members and the magnificent spreads put upon the tables for the sustenance of the attendants upon these meetings, have made them, probably, more talked of at this church than at any other one. I have John's Revolutionary War Pension papers.

First Generation

John Beach MOORE II. Born in Jul 1750 in Culpepper County, Virginia. John B. died in Scott Co., Missouri on 11 Sep 1834, he was 84.  According to a cousin, Patty, John was married to another woman first, and it could have been a Sally or Sarah Lacky, but this is not proven.  On 2 Nov 1789 when John B. Moore was 39, he second married Mildred Lucas Bell, daughter of James Bell & Mildred Robinson, in Sussex Co., VA. Born in 1768 in Virginia. Mildred Lee died in 1853, she was 85.  See the BELL line here. 

One researcher speculates that John Moore's father might be a "Morris Moore" and I am assuming that he ponders that as one son is named Morris, but perhaps he knows other reasons, I have not found anything on John's ancestry yet, nor does Boddie mention any except another Moore family, that at first glance doesn't seem to be related, but I have to research some more to determine if there is a connection.

Statement by John B. Moore II:

This is part of statement dictated to James B. Moore by John Moore II about ninety (90) days prior to his death on 11 September 1834.

I, John Moore now living in Scott County, Missouri was born in the County of Culpepper, State of Virginia, in July 1750.  At the age of twelve years (1762) was moved with my mother and Stepfather, John Lucas into Northampton County, North Carolina where my Stepfather died.  I was bound as apprentice to Fredrick Jones and learned the Carpenters trade.  In the Fall of the year of 1774 (he would be 24 yrs old) I moved from said Northampton County just across the Roanoke River into Halifax County, N. C.  In the early part of the British hostilities, that is after the battle of Lexington and before the Declaration of Independence I enlisted as a Minuteman under Captain John Brinkley of said Halifax County, in which County I resided then and through the war and until I removed to Madison County, Kentucky in the Fall of the year 1790.

I settled near Boonesborough and lived there until the Spring of the year of 1811.  I then moved to Tanners Old Mill place about three miles S. W. of Princeton, KY.  From this place I never made any moves until I came to stay with my son John Moore in Scott County, State of Missouri in the month of June 1830.  On the right is a map I've made showing the locations of John Moore's residences.  Here is a land grant for John in Madison County, KY. 

On a Caldwell County, KY site, there is a listing for John B. Moore having served in the Revolution, dying in Scott Co., MO in 1834 and it says the widow is in Caldwell, KY.

Catherine, According to the family history John is buried on the family farm just outside Sikeston. I haven't looked at a map to get the exact township and number, but the Moore's old Plantation home sat approximately 3 miles north of town, I don't have a cemetery location, the book just says "buried on this place". I even played in the old log home which was donated to Southeast Missouri State University several years ago. The Moore's still live on the land. The son John and family are buried on a farm near Oran, MO which is about 10 miles north of Sikeston. Hope this helps. Caryl.

See the Moore Cemetery in Scott County, Missouri where John and some of his descendants are buried, here.
