William Moore

Sally’s 7-great Grandparents:

William Moore bef 1630 – | his parents
of Nansemond County, Virginia


My working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!


William Moore patents on a branch of the Nansemond River on 6 Dec 1652.
The pat of Richard and John Snders and Henry Plumpton on 20 Oct 1689 ; one refers to the neighbor Thomas Mason and the other to the location by “William Moore’s ancient patent of 300 acres.”

Members of the Virginia Company listed in the 1st and 2nd Charters
1607 Sir Gorge Moor, knight
1609 Sir George Moor, Knt… John Moore, Esq…. John Moore, Esq…. Andrew Moore….William Moore.

There is a good possibility that any or all of these Moore men found in Isle of Wight and Nansemond Counties Virginia were grandsons of the men listed in the Charters and came to claim lands that were due to the original investors.

They were to examine old legal instruments brought in to be rerecorded and take any necessary depositions to prove the validity of these items. Two reports containing abstracts of the rerecorded items are among the Colonial Records at the Public Records Office.

  1. I FORGOT!!! – GOV., JAMES MOORE of the Carolinas, FGC925-A12144-A12141), had 6 sons; 2 stayed in SC and MAURICE & ROGER moved around Wilmington NC, MAURICE’s son JAMES was a COL in the Rev War. JOSEPH went to EDGECOMBE NC, and I’m not sure where NATHAEL MOORE went to, but there was also another NATHAEL MOORE in NC, from VA.

  2. Hi Sally, My GrandUncle (G-grandson of Lawrence L. Moore Jr.), said we’re from VA and 2 came down. He moved to Altavista Campbell Co., VA, and then to Delaware when the Depression hit. I have STUDIED just about ALL your findings, PLUS I have a cousins story, that “OUR” FIRST MOORE was born in Scotland, went to Edinburg University and became a Doctor. I have studied Brunswick Co., VA and am at a lost. REMEMBER LAURENCE MOORE 1767-1817 3rd wife was TABITHA LOCKHART MOORE daughter of MOSES MOORE. She had an “ONLY” daughter “POLLY” which she adored. MOSES was married to a SARAH JORDAN, “BUT” this might not been TABITHA’s mom. YOU have MOSES father and Mother as MOSES MOORE b. a1725 and MARY “POLLY” RUTLAND, b. a1727. – and you have MOSES MOORE (TABITHA’s father) son of WILLIAM b. 1705-1771 NANSEMOND VA. – There’s also stuff that MOSES 1725 could be the son of BENTON MOORE son of RICHARD MOORE. – – I also think…, IF my LAURENCE MOORE SR., 1767-1817 is hooked up to your WILLIAM 1705-1771, then LAURENCE is LAWRENCE and SARAH COTTON MOORE’s child. – LAURENCE being Scottish, and his Father being named LAWRENCE, named his first son WILLIAM DICKINSON MOORE; (WILLIAM after his Grandfather WILLIAM 1705-1771). IF the WILLIAM that bought the land in Nansemond in 1652, is the son of JOHN MOORE who came from Scotland in 1636/38, and married JANE EDWARDS (whom brother was a Dr.) the this WILLIAM could have been born in Scotland, and his mother died before they (John & William) came over.
    Remember that there are at least “3” different MOORE cousins around NC. ALL MOORE’s in IRELAND were FGC925, his two sons A12144 (my & Gov JAMES MOORE of the Carolinas line; and the JAMES goes to A12141, while my line goes BY106458) and then there’s A12144’s brother FGC920, who has 2 sons FGC911 & FT106548, and this FT106548 is the EDWARD MOORE in GRANDVILLE NC.

  3. I have a William Moore; norm 1792 Winchester, VA. Died in 1847 in Fayette County/Moreland County, PA. No known parents. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    AND there was a JERETT MOORE at COLLEGE that was also Killed.

  5. This is what I found – “Mary MOORE, of Bristol England, Late wife of HENRY MOORE, of Bristol, Merchant, Deceased, (HENRY), who died in (Isle of Wight) VA. 1667. – also –

    A HENRY MOORE, was killed in an Indian Massacre (Isle of Wight), March 22 1622.

  6. OK, this is what I believe by studying these 5 Vols., OUR WILLIAM MOORE born 1705, his Father: JOHN MOORE, his Father: WILLIAM MOORE, who bought land in NANSEMOND VA., 1652, is HOOKED UP TO “RICHARD MOORE” b. 1583 in England, was in Bermuda, then came to Virginia, and then went BACK to England -> (http://www.bermuda-online.org/history.htm) <- where he died about 1617; his son EDMOND MOORE, had 2 sons Cason & THOMAS, – we might be from THOMAS, unless Richard had MORE sons when he was in Virginia.

  7. Hi, It’s me again!!! WE “MIGHT” be from “Scotland” and NOT “England” (MIGHT)! – I have done DNA Test on “FTDNA.com”, right NOW on FTDNA I am “R-CTS10893”, this is Very Germanic; BUT as we Know the Germanic People started moving around about 409 AD. – A Cousin of OURS, a CHARLES MOORE, a Administrator for Project “U106” & I did a Test on “YSEQ.com”; we did “FGC920, 921, 922, 925, 932, & FGC934”. – CHARLES, IS Positive for ALL 6, I am Negative on FGC920- & FGC922-. According to “YSEQ”, and “YBROWSE”, our FGC925+, is in Scotland, right now. NOW from here we see who stays in Scotland, who moves to England, and to the US. CHARLES went to IRELAND, and then the US (Kentucky), That MAY BE why he is FGC920+ & FGC922+.

  8. Ok, as far as who signed the 2nd Charter, of the “Virginia Company”:
    “Sir George Moore – Knight [Moor]”, there were 2 “John Moore Equire”, a “Andreau Moore” and a “William Moore”.
    You also have:
    “1732 John Moore sold his brother William Moore (current owner 1734) 110 acres in Fork of Southern Branch of Nansemond River in Upper Parish which John Moore father to John & Wm. willed to sd. John. Southside Virginian Vol V page 11”.
    This Indicates that JOHN the FATHER left JOHN the SON land, that JOHN the SON sold to WILLIAM the BROTHER, (Maybe when JOHN the SON died in 1732/33).
