Andrew Moore, a Quaker, settled in Chester County or close by and gave rise to a huge family group. They are covered by a two volume or something family genealogy that was available to me when I lived in Buffalo, NY. I now live in Texas. I think that people on this list have that book. I'm trying to trace my Charles Moore, who was born in Pennsylvania, probably somewhere near the PA/MD/DE border, but no reason to think in Chester County. He was born in 1859 to Thomas Moore. But we've got a discussion going on the Moore list. It seems like just about every Moore on the list along routes of migration people followed from Pennsylania, have crooked little fingers - as does my father. This is a genetic trait common in the Scotch Irish, but it seems to be hitting a group of Moore's with unusual frequency. It seems to predate the Revolutionary War in teh lines in runs in, and there are too many cases on the list for a common ancestor not to be pretty far back. That ancestor would have had to have been in Pennsylvania as early as Andrew Moore was. One place the crooked little fingers went is North Carolina. I know for a fact that Chester County Quakers went there. Some of my Thompsons and Chambers and Millers were among them. Does anyone have any knowledge about crooked little fingers and Andrew Moore's descendants? Yours, Dora Smith __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
