The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from multiple
documents associated with the pension application of William Moore, a
veteran of the Revolutionary War. Digitized images of the documents were
found online at
www.fold3.com. There is no evidence that said William Moore
is buried in Monroe County.
On November 12, 1832, in Monroe County, Indiana, William Moore, a resident
of Monroe County, age 74, applied for a pension. According to that
application, William Moore entered the service for the first time in 1876 or
1777 in North Carolina and served three months under General Rutherford. He
entered the service again in Surry County, North Carolina and served in 1780
or 1781 and later yet in Kentucky County, Virginia, about 1782. Moore
received a certificate for bounty land that he sold. Since the revolution,
he lived for 39 years in Kentucky and the remainder of the time in Indiana.
A son, William, was mentioned in the papers. A pension was granted pursuant
to his request.
After Moore died in Washington County, Indiana, on July 15, 1844, his widow,
Ann (Inyart) Moore applied for a widow's pension. Ann reported that she was
married to William Moore on April 20, 1800, in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
Her first pension application was in 1849 and her second in 1853 when she
was living in Orange County, Indiana. By 1855, she was a resident of
Lawrence County, Indiana.
