THOMAS MOORE FAMILY
Thomas Moore settled at the dividing riddge in Morgan township at the headwaters of Castile Run, where on February 10, 1794 he had warranted to him a tract of land under the title of "Darmouth." He was living there in 1790, at the head of an adult household. He died in Morgan Township about 1813, and his will was probated December 11, 1813. His wife was Eunice_________. It is quite possible that Eunice was the second wife of Thomas Moore.
Children of Thomas and Eunice Moore

John Moore, may have been th John Moore of Captain Andrew Ferley's Company, and from Orphan Court records appears to have been a soldier of the War of 1812, dying while in that service, as his widow, Mary Moore, asked for guardins for two minor daughters, Betsy and Mary Moore, noting that her husband was killed in the late war. That was in 1816, and in 1820, George Hoge gave a receipt in the Estate of Thomas Moore, showing he was inter-married with Sarah Moore, a granddaughter of Thomas Moore through his son, John. John Moore is also shown to have left sons Daniel and Thomas Moore.
