John MOORE [2] |
- He came as a Deacon of the Dorchester church in 1630, (History of Dorchester, p. 68), probably in the "Mary and John." He with Thomas Moore, Rev. John Warham, Roger Williams, Ralph Mousall, and others were made Freemen of Massachusetts, May 18, 1631. He went with Warham to Windsor in 1635 or 6. He has been confused with what seems to have been another John Moore, whose name appears on the Dorchester Records in 1638; he was one of the chief men at Windsor; was on the jury of the Particular Court in October, 1642; Representative at the May session of 1661 and many times after; "Ordayned Deacon Janu 11, 1651," (O.C.R.) and was an excellent and esteemed citizen. At a session of the General Court, held March 13, 1661/2, he and "Scery Daniel Clark" were granted 400 acres to be divided between them. He dealt largely in real estate; farmed; manufactured pike heads and built a ferry about 1671; was a contributor to the Connecticut fund for the relief of the poor in other colonies. [1]
- The will of Deacon John Moore shows that he left four daughters and a son John, but as Thomas and Elizabeth Moore are recorded on the Dorchester Records as "children" baptized apparently at the same tie and as Elizabeth is known to have been the daughter of Deacon John Moore, it seem as if Thomas must have been a son of his. (Records of First Ch., Dorchester, p. 149.) Stiles says the wife of John Moore was Abigail and that he married her June 16, 1639, but in the record of John Moore's family in the Old Windsor Church record, we find: Abigail Moore Feb. 14, 1639. then follows: Mindwell, dau. of John Moore, b. 10July 1643. The original looks as if Abigail was interlined after Mindwell had been written. The records says nothing about marriage or wife and the Abigail here recorded was evidently the first child. b. 14 Feb. 1639/40. She was the first child born in Windsor. [1]
