Marina Cotten & James Moore

Descendants of Sally’s 5-great- grandparents
Arthur Cotten & Mary Elizabeth Rutland of Mulberry Grove

Marina Cotton ca 1745 – aft 1785 | her parents
& ca 1761 James Moore ca 1732 – aft 1805 | his parents
of Hertford Co NC

This is my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!

James Moore was living in Hertford Co in 1758 next door to Mulberry Grove.
just about where Pleasant Grove Baptist Church is today.
They were not moving around, but the political boundaries did. So Bertie County, Northampton County and then Hertford County are all locations of their records.

[Marinah/ Merene] Cotten and James Moore had:

?7. James Moore

Also living in the home of James Moore and wife Marina were the orphaned sons of his brothers Laurence d. before 1779 tax list. and William E. d ca 1780.  In 1779 James Moore was holding money belonging to the orphans of Laurence\Lawrence Moore. I have always assumed the younger Laurence was Laurence’s son also.  But one of the younger Laurence’s descendants says no, that he was the son of James.
Well, it is a fact he was raised in the home of James Moore.  Could it have been that he and Cornelius were twins? They were either double first cousins or brothers.
1. Maj. Cornelius Moore est 1767 – Dec 1823 son of Laurence
2. James Wright Moore 1773 – 1815 son of William E
3. William E Moore 1775 – 1818. son of William E.

I notice that most of Laurence’s children named a daughter Sarah– I find no Marina or Murene or Mariah.  I believe that this Laurence was the twin of Cornelius Moore son of Laurence Moore and Sarah Cotten. After their father died James Moore was their guardian and they were raised by James Moore in his home.

Her death was like the Setting sun in a clear And unclouded day Reflecting a radiant beauty Up the path she had walked She gently breathed out her Meek and quiet spirit And a serene and heavenly Smile rested upon her face As if to soothe the sorrows Of the bereaved ones Who wept around her bed. ___________ “Dearest Mother thou has left us Here thy loss we deeply feel But ’tis God that has bereft us He can all our sorrows heal.

e-mail from Alan: Due to her father’s death in 1789, siblings Sarah Dickinson, and brothers John and Laurence Dickinson, became wards of Laurence Moore.

This was recorded in Northhampton County, North Carolina, Guardian Accounts, Book A, 1781-1802, pgs 101-102. In 1789 (Time of death of Father), Sarah Dickinson would have been @ 11,

followed by John Dickinson @ 9, and finally, Laurence Dickinson, who would have been @ 7 years of age.

Evidently, the children’s mother, Martha Laurence was deceased prior to John Dickinson’s, Sr. death, presumably @ 1784.

This is when another child, Abagail Dickinson, evidently died.
Although Elizabeth (Dickinson) was Laurence Moore’s 1st wife,
by 1801, his 2nd wife, and her sister Martha (Dickinson) is also believed to be deceased.

By the end of 1801, Laurence Moore was married to Tabitha Lockhart Moore (his cousin, through Moses Moore?). Tabitha was Laurence Moore‚’s third, and final wife.

I attended a “dedication ceremony” in 1998 for the discovered gravesite of Laurence Moore & his third wife, Tabitha in Polkston, Anson County, NC.
