Hello rooters.
I am looking for anyone who might be researching the Moore families who moved to Indiana
from Pennsylvania before 1840.
I suspect they could be descendants of Andrew Moore of Ireland who emigrated to Delaware
before 1724, then shifted to Chester County, PA.
I believe some of his descendants came to Indiana as part of the Quaker movement. I have
no proof yet. Have just been checking out the Moore's in Randolph County from 1840
through 1930.
Some members of this family went to Darke County, Ohio, and many are buried in
Hollansburg, Harrison Township of Darke.
My particular interest is William A. Moore, a carriage and wagon maker in Hollansburg, who
was born in Indiana, possibly in West River Township.
If anyone has any clues for me, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Bertrand Macpherson,
Lima, OH
