This is from one of our list members, who also had Moores in the area.....who knows? Maybe you're cousins, always so much fun! Please identify your Moore family. Ours were early Philadelphians and received a land grant which included a nice piece of land just west of the present Valley Forge in Chester and Montgomery Counties, PA. That area may have still been part of Philadelphia at the time c. 1700. The earliest was John Moore (1658-1732) of Philadelphia who m. Rebecca Axtell (1661-1745.) After John and Rebecca, came William Moore and Wilhelmina Weymss (second son Samuel, plus a daughter,) Thomas Moore and Mary Unknown, Elisha Moore and Mary Hunter. Elisha was followed by John, and that sequence as been repeated down to the present day. Thomas and Mary Unknown had 8 children: Elisha, Thomas, Jonas, Mordecai, Mary m. UNK Lewis, James, Elizabeth, and Jennis m. Matlack. William gave the land for St. David's Church Cemetery, Radnor, and he is said to be buried under the entrance stone to the church. The first Elisha and his family are buried in St. David's Church Cemetery. When Chester County became Chesterand Delaware County in the mid-1700s, Radnor and St. David's Church became part of Delaware County. Marj W.

how all and Cope have quite a few Hunters in the index of THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, but no Patrick. There is an Andrew, but mentioned in the war of 1812...making him too young to be the brother of someone 75 in the same timeframe. No Thomas Buckman or Archibald McCorkle in the index, or Enos Morris. I found that Archibald McCorkle was a shoemaker in Bucks Co, and Thomas Buckman died in Newtown, Bucks Co, so I'd think you'd do better directing your questions to Bucks Co, seeing as how'll these folks seem liked to Bucks.....asking the question the 'right' place is as important as the question itself.
