• Notes

  This information, and that of his children was gleaned from the Indentures on MOORE/BRISBIN found in the Archives of the Courthouse in Lancaster County, PA. The birth order of the children is unknown. Two of the children were deceased prior to 1791. John Moore and Mary Moore Crain along with her husband Joseph Crain. Mary & Joseph left five children listed in the Indentures. In particular see Deed Book MM Vol. 2 pp.496-500--the abstraction appears on page 1 of MOORE/BRISBIN Extractions. The following clarification came about as a result of some questions Jackie Marshall had on 29 Apr 1996: The Andrew & William Moore who first bought the property in Penn Woods were father (Adnrew) and son (William) see p508 Deed Bk MM Vol 2 William (I am assuming it was Wm) had a son he named ANdrew after his father. The elder, Andrew, left his grandson, Andrew, 1/2 his property and 1/2 of the grist mill. This "original" William Moore is Wm the Elder/Wm Senior, either one--take your pick. William Moore--the younger is the son of desceased John Moore, the brother of Willim--the Elder. The lineage, as I read it goes: Andrew Moore-father. William the Elder-son and John Moore-son. Elizabeth-dau and Agness-daughter. Then Andrew-the father died. Because he originally bought the land on a shared equally arrangement his share went to his children--but it isn't clear if Wm also received a share--I suppose he did. Now Andrew had a son who was already deceased--John Moore--so John's share went to John's children--William--the younger, Sarah (Brisbin) and Agness (Davison) AND to the children of Andrew's desceased daughter, Mary Moore Crain who were: Andrew Crain, Janett Barnett, Sarah Knox, Wm Crain and Joseph Crain. There seem to be missing inbetween documents. I believe these documents took place in the 1780's, were recorded by 1791 and that the documents between the death of Andrew and what we have here are missing. For example John Moore's will. Confusion regarding some of the names: Wm Moore Sr/Elder's wife seems to be Anne and Wm Jr./Younger's wife appears to be Jane/Jannett. Page 509 mentions John Moore's will dated 17 Nov 1759 and gave his wife and children everything and was filed in Registrar's office of Lancaster. So he died between 1759 and 15 Feb 1782 Regarding the laws regarding distribution of property: John died and left everything to his wife, his daughter Agness, Dau Sarah and son William. DOn't know what happened to his wife but Agness and Sarah turned over their inheritance to their brother William. William then turned it ALL over to his Uncle William Moore the Elder.Sr,. I remember spending a great deal of time on the land description starting with the land in Penn Woods that Andrew and his Son William bought way back in 1767. Same land. After John Moore died his father Andrew Moore died, so John's share wnet to his kids and grandchildren by now. And also Andrew specifically left his grandson Andrew Moore (son of William) on p512 182 acres and 1/2 part of the grist and saw mills and the other 1/2 part to his son Wm Moore. So now, William Moore(son of Andrew) owns not only the 1/2 he originally bought with his father in 1767 but 1/2 of the grist mill and saw mills on the property and his son Andrew owns the other 1/2 of the grist and saw mills. Then William bought out John's kids so he owned the WHOLE thing. All the Indentures give their share (Agness & Sarah) to their brother William THEN p 2 of my typed Moore Extractions--bottom indenture--William Moore, Jr (son of John) is legally able to sell the WHOLE thing to his Uncle William Moore Elder/Sr so now good old UNCLE WILLIAM MOORE owns the entire land in Penn WOods that he originally bought WITH his father Andrew Moore.
