General Notes: Husband - John Moore

---

He was a native of Ireland, of Scotch descent, who settled in Adams County, Pennsylvania, before the Revolution, and took the part of his adopted country in that struggle. He was a major under General Washington. After the war, he settled in the beautiful valley of the Juniata, taking up land in what was then Mifflin, later Juniata, County, the tract being between four and five hundred acres of what is now Walker township. John Moore farmed to some extent, but was less interested in agricultural pursuits than in the pursuit of game and fish; he cared for his land principally as hills, woods and water, a good hunting and fishing ground. He lived to the age of ninety-four; he had then for some years enjoyed his "second sight;" at the age of ninety, he shot a squirrel sixty feet from the ground; his eye was as keen and his hand as steady as in his youth.
