MOOR.
I. John Moor was b. in Ireland in 1683. The name of his wife was Jenet. They were of Scotch descent, and strongly attached to the Presbyterian polity. Religious persecutions in Ireland led them to leave their native land for America, that they might here enjoy in peace the faith and worship of their fathers. This in some measure accounts for their tenacious adherence to their denomi- national forms. They came to Londonderry, N. H., about 1772, bringing with them their son William, who in later years settled in this town, and Elizabeth, who m. Nathaniel Holmes, and lived in Londonderry. John and Janet were a frugal, industrious hus- band and wife, and soon possessed a competence. Mrs. Moor was a great reader of the Rev. John Flavel's works, hence was some- times called Jenny Flavel. She was always punctual in her daily devotions; her Bible was her constant companion. He was a prominent man in Londonderry, honest, honorable, and upright in all his dealings. He d. 1774, Jan. 24, in his 91st year. She d. 1776, March 8, aged 89 years. Ch., b. in Ireland, were: William2, b. 1717; Elizabeth2, b. 1719. Ch. b. in Londonderry: Robert2, b. 1726; Daniel2, b. 1730, Feb. 11.
II. William, son of John1, m. in Londonderry Molly Jack, about 1739; settled here in 1745, on the farm afterwards used for many years as the town farm, but now owned by George H. Wiggin. It is said that he was religious from his youth up, and his home a scene of good order and domestic peace, where the worship of God was regularly maintained. He was a strict observer of the Sabbath, regularly attending divine service, and catechizing his family and servants in the evening, as was the custom in those days. At the first town meeting, 1750, June 6, he was chosen one of the doorkeepers; constable, 1753; selectman, 1755; chosen one of the first board of " Elders" about the time Rev. John Houston was ordained, 1757; signed Association Test, 1776. This
