Andrew Moore

This information, and that of his children was gleaned from theIndentures on MOORE/BRISBIN found in the Archives of the Courthouse inLancaster County, PA. The birth order of the children is unknown.Two of the children were deceased prior to 1791. John Moore and MaryMoore Crain along with her husband Joseph Crain. Mary & Joseph leftfive children listed in the Indentures. In particular see Deed BookMM Vol. 2 pp.496-500--the abstraction appears on page 1 ofMOORE/BRISBIN Extractions.
The following clarification came about as a result of some questionsJackie Marshall had on 29 Apr 1996:
The Andrew & William Moore who first bought the property in Penn Woodswere father (Adnrew) and son (William) see p508 Deed Bk MM Vol 2
William (I am assuming it was Wm) had a son he named ANdrew after hisfather. The elder, Andrew, left his grandson, Andrew, 1/2 hisproperty and 1/2 of the grist mill. This "original" William Moore isWm the Elder/Wm Senior, either one--take your pick. WilliamMoore--the younger is the son of desceased John Moore, the brother ofWillim--the Elder.
The lineage, as I read it goes: Andrew Moore-father. William theElder-son and John Moore-son. Elizabeth-dau and Agness-daughter.Then Andrew-the father died. Because he originally bought the land ona shared equally arrangement his share went to his children--but itisn't clear if Wm also received a share--I suppose he did. Now Andrewhad a son who was already deceased--John Moore--so John's share wentto John's children--William--the younger, Sarah (Brisbin) and Agness(Davison) AND to the children of Andrew's desceased daughter, MaryMoore Crain who were: Andrew Crain, Janett Barnett, Sarah Knox, WmCrain and Joseph Crain.
There seem to be missing inbetween documents. I believe thesedocuments took place in the 1780's, were recorded by 1791 and that thedocuments between the death of Andrew and what we have here aremissing. For example John Moore's will.
Confusion regarding some of the names: Wm Moore Sr/Elder's wife seemsto be Anne and Wm Jr./Younger's wife appears to be Jane/Jannett.
Page 509 mentions John Moore's will dated 17 Nov 1759 and gave hiswife and children everything and was filed in Registrar's office ofLancaster. So he died between 1759 and 15 Feb 1782
Regarding the laws regarding distribution of property: John died andleft everything to his wife, his daughter Agness, Dau Sarah and sonWilliam. DOn't know what happened to his wife but Agness and Sarahturned over their inheritance to their brother William. William thenturned it ALL over to his Uncle William Moore the Elder.Sr,. Iremember spending a great deal of time on the land descriptionstarting with the land in Penn Woods that Andrew and his Son Williambought way back in 1767. Same land. After John Moore died his fatherAndrew Moore died, so John's share wnet to his kids and grandchildrenby now. And also Andrew specifically left his grandson Andrew Moore(son of William) on p512 182 acres and 1/2 part of the grist and sawmills and the other 1/2 part to his son Wm Moore. So now, WilliamMoore(son of Andrew) owns not only the 1/2 he originally bought withhis father in 1767 but 1/2 of the grist mill and saw mills on theproperty and his son Andrew owns the other 1/2 of the grist and sawmills. Then William bought out John's kids so he owned the WHOLEthing. All the Indentures give their share (Agness & Sarah) to theirbrother William THEN p 2 of my typed Moore Extractions--bottomindenture--William Moore, Jr (son of John) is legally able to sell theWHOLE thing to his Uncle William Moore Elder/Sr so now good old UNCLEWILLIAM MOORE owns the entire land in Penn WOods that he originallybought WITH his father Andrew Moore.
