Hi Billie, I am also descended from Edward Moore of Nash thru his son William and wife Rahab (probably Strickland). Mark Strickland of Nash co lists a daughter Rahab Moore in his will. Wm. and Rahab's daughter Elizabeth named a son Mark Strickland Harris I had not heard of Edward's patriotism. Do tell all. I have some cites from court records on some of Edward's daughters choosing their mother as guardian. One reference to Edward as" little" Edward Moore. His will was put into court records by Edward Moore Sr. Have you seen an original of Edward's will? One source lists Edward Sr as a witness another says that it was James Moore, son Edward would have been to young. This Edward Sr. would be the Edward Moore that died in Nash 1785 wife Mary. This Edward d 1785 most likely is the one that is mentioned in records as being sheriff of Edgecombe and had connections to The Cain and Lee families. I have some information on Edward's children and descendants . I am eager to share and compare. Judy Welch
