General Notes: Husband - James Moore


During his young manhood he worked by the month, receiving as remuneration the sum of ten dollars, and by industry and thrift he accumulated sufficient capital to purchase one hundred acres of land, on the Plank road, three miles above Waterford, Erie County, Pennsylvania, for which he paid the small sum of six dollars per acre. He cleared and improved the land, erected thereon suitable buildings, and there spent the remainder of his days. Subsequently he purchased two other farms, from which he derived a substantial income. He was an active member of the United Presbyterian Church, being affiliated with it from 1853 to 1897, a period of forty-four years, and his wife was also an active worker in the same for many years.
