General Notes: Husband - Andrew Moore

---

He came from Ireland in the year 1723, and settled near Sadsbury township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was a man of great piety, of indomitable courage and energy of character, and was in possession of considerable means. He purchased large tracts of lands lying on both sides of the Octoraro, and shortly after his arrival built the first mill in the southwest, near Penningtonville, Chester County, the old remains of which are yet visible. Although his own residence was on the Chester County side, yet his improvements extended into both counties. He erected another mill on the west side of the creek, and other substantial buildings, some of which were still standing into the 1870s. He was chiefly instrumental in establishing the Friends' meeting-house, at "Old Sadsbury," in 1724, and his descendants stood at the head of the society for upwards of one hundred years. He lived to a very advanced age, and left sixty-seven grandchildren, several of whom attained to the age of 100 years.

He had seven sons and two daughters, all of whom reared families.
