I think I can answer your questionthat Isaac and Nimrod are indeed brothers. Issac father was Benjamin moore whowas born abot 1750 in Maryland and he married a Margere (b. 1753) in the Dorchester Parish, Dorchester, Maryland. They had the following children, though a very incomplete list- Priscilla 25 Jan 1774 Dorchester Parish, Dorchester, Maryland, Nimrod 8 Jan 1775 Dorhcester the same, and Isaac Lewis 1779 Dorchester Parish the same. I assume it is a given that you know that Isaac was born in Maryland and not Virginia. I know nothing more about Benjamin and Margere but am working to find out. Obviously one will look in Maryland. On the question as to why they moved from Virignia to Ohio I was told by a geneologist that it had to do with abolotionist sympathies and that Isaac ruan a s! tation on an underground railway during the 1850's. All this is very romantic and it would take me some time to find the name and address of the historian who related it to me. Im not much interested on those details but I thought it on. I have reconstructed the families of Issac Moore, his son Amos, and his son Stanford which is my line. I have a few pics and would love any information on Nimrods chlidren or any photos you may have All best but in haste, Neil Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
