prisoner in the hands of the British for some time. He was a lieutenant in Captain Beebe's company of Salisbury, Connecticut, and vicin- ity in 1776; also first lieutenant in the regiment of Colonel Roger Enos in 1777. He was af- terward a captain. He was selectman of Sims- bury in 1806-07. It has been said of Captain Moore that he was born in Westfield, resided in Simsbury, Hartford county, and Granby, Hartford county, yet never left the place of his birth; yet was a citizen of two states, voter in four towns and resided in three different coun- ties. In November, 1791, he bought of Eli Moore, of Granby, and Samuel Moore, of Suffield, all the land that had belonged to their father in Simsbury, with two houses and barns. By other purchases he acquired land in Gran- by, and in 1831 sold a part of his land in Sims- bury. His will was dated April 10, 1833, and proved September 10, 1838. In 1796, when the Western Reserve in Ohio was opened, Rog- er Moore bought four pieces of land in Portage county, over four hundred acres in all. On April 3, 1811, he wrote to his son Homer from Southwick, Massachusetts, asking his opinion about the worth of the land. He married, in Granby. Connecticut, December 4, 1786, Ros- etta Hayes, born December 4, 1768, died No- vember 7, 1836, daughter of Silas and Hannah ( Holcomb) Hayes. Children : I.

(V) Roger Sherman, son of Roger Moore, was born at Southwick, Massachusetts, July 25, 1806. He attended the public schools of his native town and entered Yale College at the age of seventeen years, graduating in the class of 1827. Among his classmates were Dr. Wil- liam Adams, of New York, Horace Bushnell, of Hartford, and Nathaniel P. Willis. Mr. Moore studied law at Troy, New York, and was admitted to the bar in Hartford, Connecti- cut, but never practiced this profession. Until 1849 his life was spent at his father's home in Southwick and in travel. In 1849 he came to Springfield, Massachusetts, where the remain- der of his life was spent. He was a man of substantial means and soon after coming to this city became interested in banking business.
He organized the John Hancock Bank in 1850 and served on the board of directors until he retired. He succeeded Colonel J. M. Thomp- son as president of the John Hancock National Bank in 1863. He served as president for twenty-seven years declining re-election on ac- count of his advanced age. He was for many years a commanding influence in the financial affairs of this section. He was an earnest and thorough man of business, and his large and varied interests engrossed his time during his active life. He never sought public honors and the only office he held was that of alderman of the city of Springfield in 1859 and one term as a savings bank examiner of the state. He was a life-long student and especially in later years spent much of his time in his library. He had an excellent collection of books. History was his favorite study, but he read Hebrew, Latin and Greek to the end of his life. He was one of the few men of his generation who followed the scholarly life of a former gener- ation and retained a fondness for intellectual pursuits gained in college. His love for his alma mater was marked. In June before his death he and Nelson Beardsley of Auburn, New York, one of the few survivors of his class of eighty, visited Yale at Commencement. He loved good society and had the manners and courtesy of the type so well described by the phrase, a gentleman of the old school. His home life was delightful. In business his course was governed by the strictest integrity and the most scrupulous regard for keeping his word and his engagements even in trivial mat- ters. As a financier he was naturally conserv- ative and he never sought success by a short path. The bank over which he presided so long enjoyed great prosperity largely on ac- count of the great confidence in him and his sound judgment and careful management. The position of this bank to-day is due chiefly per- haps to his administrative ability and excellent financiering. He attended Christ Church, the First Protestant Episcopal church of Spring- field, but was not a member. In politics he was a Republican. He married, October 6, 1841, Sarah Ann Root, born May 16, 1812, died at Springfield September 30, 1875, daughter of Joel and Clarissa ( Ensign) Root, of Granville, Massachusetts. He died at Springfield, De- cember 31, 1893. They had one child, Sarah Jane, born at Springfield, July 29, 1842, now residing at 23 Buckingham street in that city. She is a member of the Connecticut Valley Historical Society, also the Hampton Club.

Many English pioneers of the
MOORE name of Moore came to New England and some also from Scotland and Ireland. In the early days the spelling was as often Moor and Moors as Moore, though the latter style is now in general vogue. The family in England is very ancient and has many noble and dis- tinguished branches.
(I) John Moore was the immigrant ances- tor and was born in England about 1610. He bought a house and land in Sudbury, Massachusetts, as early as 1642 of the pio- neer, Edmund Rice. His farm was in the oldest part of the town in what is now Way- land. He took the oath of fidelity July 9, 1645. He married, in Sudbury, Elizabeth Whale, daughter of Philemon Whale. She survived him. His will dated August 25, 1668, describes himself as aged. He died January 6, 1673-74, and his will was proved April 7, 1674, at Cambridge. He bequeathed to sons John, of Lancaster, William, Jacob, Joseph, to whom he left the homestead, and Benjamin ; also to daughters Elizabeth, wife of Henry Rice; Mary, wife of Daniel Stone ; and Lydia, wife of James Cutler. His widow was named as executrix. The inventory of his estate showed goods valued at eight hun- dred and four pounds, seven shillings. His widow died December 14, 1690.

John, born before father settled in Sudbury ; proprietor of Lancaster, 1653-54; married Anna Smith, of Sudbury, prominent and wealthy man, deputy, etc. 2.

erty, consisting of one hundred and thirty acres, to his oldest son Jacob for the same consideration (Middlesex Deeds, vol. 37, p. 517). A few months later, in 1678, Jacob also gave his son Jacob one half his homestead (Middlesex county Deeds, vol. 37, p. 521). In 1718 Jacob disposed of the remainder of his property by dividing it among his other sons, Samuel, Daniel, Jonathan, James, Richard and Nathaniel. Children, born in Sudbury : I.

In 1861 he engaged in business on his own account at Danielson, Connecticut.

Lyman as a surname existed LYMAN from the earliest use of sur- names in England and is de- rived from an old Saxon personal name, Leoman. The name has been varied by dif- ferent branches of the family, but Limas, Limon, Lemon, Leamond, Lehman, Leyman, Lyeman, Lamman, Leman and de Leman have been used. Possibly some branches of the family have taken the surname from the word layman, just as priest and pope, sex- ton and deacon have become surnames. Mann itself used as a surname may have the same origin as Le Man, the French style of spelling. The oldest coat-of-arms is now used by fam- ilies, spelling the name Lyman, Leman, Lee- man, Lemmon, distinguished by a ring with- in a triangle. The arms are quartered with
