General Notes: Husband - Lt. James Moore

---

He was born in Londonderry, forty miles from Boston, and died in New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He and his wife came to the western part of Pennsylvania in the first train which ran from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. They located at the mouth of Chartier's Creek at a time when the Juniata Valley was still a wilderness, and there was a block house at New Brighton, in which all the settlers passed the nights to ensure their safety from the hostile Indians. He was a keel builder by trade, and later he established and conducted a store in the community.
He enlisted in the Continental army, probably from Washington County, Pennsylvania, and held the rank of first lieutenant in the company of Captain Barnes. He served during the springs of 1775 and 1776, the summer of 1777, until January, 1778, and the autumn of 1780, and was an active participant in the battles of the Brandywine, Stillwater and Saratoga. He and his son Samuel were also in the War of 1812. [GPHBC, 251]

He was born at Londonderry, New Hampshire. He gained his military title as a soldier in the Revolution, fighting in that war with the troops of Charlotte County, New York, in Captain Barnes' company, connected with the regiment commanded by Colonel Jacobus Swartmont. He saw more of the different phases of military life than those ordinarily revealed to a common soldier, and besides engaging in the important battles at Bennington, Stillwater and Saratoga, as a private, was several times dispatched by his regiment commander as a spy upon the British forces. In this capacity his services were of such value to the Continental army and his own daring bravery so conspicuous that he was rewarded with a first lieutenancy. At the close of the war he settled on a grant of land on the Beaver river, Pennsylvania, received from the national government in return for his services in the war for independence. This tract, which extended back to the Rochester Hill road, covering two hundred and nineteen acres, he received the deed and record of survey in 1803. He was married in 1783 and it is probable that he made his home on his newly received property at once. Certain it is that he lived there until his death, aged eighty-six years. [GPHBC, 819]

General Notes: Wife - Isabella Stewart

---

She was a relative of Mary, Queen of Scots.

The family of which she was a member were of Scotch ancestry, but for religious reasons settled in Londonderry, Ireland. About 1719, in the neighborhood of twenty families of the little band that had come from their homeland to the Irish country sailed for the American shore, and among this party, which was headed by the pastor of their flock, was the Stewart family. These emigrants founded the town of Londonderry, New Hampshire, a place named after the town that had first offered them asylum as they fled from their native country, and it is said that they there organized the first Presbyterian church in New England.
