James Moore


James Moore, it is believed, was a native of Pennsylvania, but became a settler on Mammouth Run, south of Jacob Millikin, as early probably as 1808-10; he married Betsey Patterson, by whom he had the following children: Stephen, who married Caroline Beebe, and settled near the home place of his father; subsequently he moved to Illinois, where he died; Moses married Serretta King and also settled near the home place, but subsequently moved to Illinois, where he died; one daughter married William Frakes, and settled in the West. Mr. Moore was quite a leading and influential man in this community, and held many of the offices of the township; but he died in the prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness, being cut off by death in the sickly season of 1822 and 1823; he was buried on the farm where he first settled.
