from "Families of Beaver County, Pennsylvania", 1997 excerpted from "The History of Beaver County, Pennsylvania", 1888 "James Moore, farmer, P.O. Hookstown, was born Feb. 16, 1817. His grandfather, Thomas Moore, was born near Easton, Pennsylvania, and married Margaret Hutchison, a Scotch lady. They settled in Washington county, but soon afterward came to Hanover township, and purchased 400 acres of land, where our subject now resides. Thomas Moore was one of the wealthy men of Beaver county, and owned about 1,000 acres of land. He had seven children: James, Nancy, Mary, Samuel, Aaron, Andrew and Margaret. Of these, James married Sarah, daughter of John and Martha (Mahan) Boyd. James Moore died at the age of eighty-four years and his wife at the age of sixty-two. They were members of the United Presbyterian church: in politics he was a Democrat. Their children were John, Thomas, James, Margaret, Martha, Aaron and Sarah. Of these, James, the subject of this sketch, is the only one living. He married Rachel, daughter of Samuel Lindsey. The have three children: Martha A. (Mrs. Ewing), Mary A. and James E. Mr. and Mrs. Moore are connected with the Tomlinson Run United Presbyterian church; politically he is a Democrat." that is all the information given. I am interested in learning more about "young" Thomas, the brother of James, as he may be our Thomas. all but one place is familiar to me in my searches for Thomas, many of the more common names in the family are in Edwin's Thomas's family, and the time frame is about right-1810-1820. if I could find out more about the family it would help me decide if it is indeed the one we seek. I wonder if descendants still live in Hanover? Cornelia
