General Notes: Husband - Andrew Moore


When a lad of sixteen years he emigrated to America, locating in Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he married and worked at the Washington Furnace for some time. He also owned and operated a small farm, but in 1834 he moved to Jefferson County, where he improved a place, and throughout his active business life continued to follow farming and the manufacture of sugar. In religious faith he and his wife were Presbyterians.

In 1801, when a lad of eleven years, he came to America with his parents. They first located at Philadelphia, whence they removed to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and still later took up their residence in Nittany Valley, Centre County. In 1835, however, he located in the Beechwoods settlement, in Jefferson County, where he followed farming until called to his final rest.
