Seeking information on a Moore family that lived in Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties (VA) from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s: Thomas Moore and Mary Farrar Moore had the following children: Thomas Moore Jr., Seth Moore (m. Mary Owen), Elizabeth Moore (m. John Daws), Priscilla Moore (m.1 Elijah Stone and m.2 Carlton Nunn), GeorgeMoore (m. Mildred Owen), Field Moore (m. Sarah Lidderdale), Judith Moore (m. _?_ Boyd), Nancy Moore (m. Godfrey Crowder), Mary Moore (m.1 Hugh Franklin and m.2 Edward Willis), Lucy Moore (m. William Willis), and Taphania (sp?) Moore (m. William Hudson.) Originally from Henrico and Chesterfield Counties, the family moved into Lunenburg (later Mecklenburg) around 1750. Mary Farrar Moore was d/o George Farrar and Judith Jefferson. Thomas Moore Sr. died in Mecklenburg around 1794. Any additional information on these people greatly appreciated. A Moore Surname Y-Chromosome DNA Project has recently been established in an attempt to distinguish among the many Moore families. The project is inclusive of all MOOREs from any area and any spelling variant, but we are especially interested in Moores who migrated from Virginia through the South. The testing will be for the male Y-chromosome, which is passed only from father to son. Therefore, the testing requires a male with the surname of MOORE (or variant.) (Of course, a female researcher can participate by recruiting a Moore father, brother or spouse.) The test analyzes either the 12 or 25 markers on the Y-chromosome. If the markers of two or more male individuals of same surname match, it indicates they descend from a common male ancestor. Information about the project is available at http://small-stuff.com/MOORE/ . We encourage all Moore researchers to visit the website and consider participating in this exciting project.
