    3. The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from multiple documents associated with the pension application of William Moore, a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Digitized images of the documents were found online at www.fold3.com. There is no evidence that said William Moore is buried in Monroe County. On November 12, 1832, in Monroe County, Indiana, William Moore, a resident of Monroe County, age 74, applied for a pension. According to that application, William Moore entered the service for the first time in 1876 or 1777 in North Carolina and served three months under General Rutherford. He entered the service again in Surry County, North Carolina and served in 1780 or 1781 and later yet in Kentucky County, Virginia, about 1782. Moore received a certificate for bounty land that he sold. Since the revolution, he lived for 39 years in Kentucky and the remainder of the time in Indiana. A son, William, was mentioned in the papers. A pension was granted pursuant to his request. After Moore died in Washington County, Indiana, on July 15, 1844, his widow, Ann (Inyart) Moore applied for a widow's pension. Ann reported that she was married to William Moore on April 20, 1800, in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Her first pension application was in 1849 and her second in 1853 when she was living in Orange County, Indiana. By 1855, she was a resident of Lawrence County, Indiana.
