Wit: Thomas Jones, John Beale (PG Co DeedsLiber C,i:165A) And: W. T. Moore also makes reference to Mordecai Moore in SC in the 1800s in connection with his ancestor, James Walker Moore, and associates them with the Quaker community. An earlier Mordecai Moore is confirmed as the son of Richard Moore of the Quaker congregation in Shropshire, England. Richard Moore sent his son to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with two Quakers who were to train him to be a doctor. Mordecai Moore did become a doctor, and moved to Annapolis, Anne Arundel Co, MD, along with his mentors, both of whom were prominent in Maryland leadership at the time.

Doris, I descend from a Mordecai Moore. He is my 6-gr-grandfather. His daughter, Sarah, married George McKinsey and lived in Newberry County, SC .....quite close to the Bush River MM location. Mordecai was the son of Richard Moore who married Sarah Jenkins. Richard and Sarah moved their family from PA to Orange County, NC in the mid 1700's. After the Battle of Alamance, they moved with other Quaker families in that area to Wrightsboro, GA. I am unclear at this time if MY Mordecai bought land and/or lived in SC between his residence in Orange County, NC and his residence in Wrightsboro, GA.....However, there is a Mordecai Moore in the SC area in that time period. My Moore family definitely had Quaker connections. I would be happy to help you in any way that I can to sort out the various Moore families....however, I am pretty new to the Moore research and don't have a lot of extra information yet. I do not know if it is a coincidence that the earlier Quaker Moores share the same naming pattern. I will look into the possibility. marsha moses On Jan 21, 2012, at 2:58 PM, Doris F wrote: > > And: > W. T.
