Sally, I know it's been a long while. My database crashed without recovery, killing about 4,000 document records and am now just getting it back into some kind of shape. The only reference I've been able to find that might ... I say MIGHT ... be related is the Reference is to the marriage of John and Mary Moore documented in "The Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy" by Hinshaw vol 6 page 233. Don't be mislead by the Quaker thing. A great many revolutionary war soldiers were ex-Quakers. These two were married just about a year before the birth of you John, so maybe a connection, as the Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting of Quakers was right in the territory you described.
