John Goffe's regiment, raised for the expedition for the invasion of Canada, John Moor was first lieutenant in Capt. Nehemiah Lovewell's company from March 18 to Dec. 8, 1760. Vallentine Sullivan of this town was a soldier in his company. He came here before 1742, settled on a farm on the River road near where John K. McQuesten lives, on the place lately owned by Ephraim and James Harvill, now in Manchester, since 1853, June. He was m. in Boston, Mass., 1732, Oct. 26, by Rev. John Moorhead, to Margaret Jack.

Taken prisoner at Fort William Henry. There were two John Moor, Jrs., here in June, 1776; which one of the two signed the Association Test I am unable to determine. The story of his being a prisoner is best told in his petition to Governor Wentworth, Nov. 20, 1759, for relief:
