1. {{Puritan Great Migration}} [[Category:Sudbury, Massachusetts]] [[Category:Framingham, Massachusetts]] [[Category:Church of Framingham]] == Elizabeth Moore == '''Elizabeth Moore''' was born about 1628; the 1649 record of her birth in Sudbury is thought to be a later-in-life return to the county court, as she was clearly married by 1644.<ref>Ethel Stanwood Bolton, "Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury, Mass.," in ''NEHGS Register'' 57(1903):300; and 58(1904):176</ref> That she is daughter of John Moore is from his will, which identifiesa daughter, "Elizabeth, wife of Henry Rice." <ref>Ethel Stanwood Bolton, "Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury, Mass.," in ''NEHGS Register'' 57(1903):300: "On August 25, 1668, he made his will, in which he refers to his age. He died Jan 6, 1673 (?) and his will was probated April 7, 1674 (Worcester Co Probate) He mentions his sons John of Lancaster, William, Jacob, Joseph, to whom he leaves his house and Benjamin; also his daughters Elizabeth, wife of Henry Rice, Mary, wife of Daniel Stone and Lydia, wife of James Cutler. His widow Elizabeth was named as Executrix."</ref> That she is daughter by a previous wife (not of John's wife ElizabethWhale, daughter of Philemon) is revealed by the will of Philemon Whale, naming his daughter's Rice children, none of which is Elizabeth (Moore) Rice. <ref>Ethel Stanwood Bolton, "Some Descendants of John Mooreof Sudbury, Mass.," in ''NEHGS Register'' 57(1903):300; and 58(1904):176</ref>. This updates and correct ''Bullard and Allied Families''. Unsourced family pages (elsewhere online) claim she was born 10 Jan 1628/1629 in Henham, Essex, England. She was certainly not born in Sudury, Mass, as it wasn't settled until the 1630s, and earliest record ofJohn Moore (her father) there was 1642. <ref>Ethel Stanwood Bolton, "Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury, Mass.," in ''NEHGS Register'' 57(1903):300</ref> === Name === Elizabeth Moore<ref>Andrew Henshaw A.M.

2. {{Puritan Great Migration}}[[Category: Immigrants to Massachusetts Bay Colony from England]][[Category:Moore Name Study]] ==Biography== == Origins and Wives == Seeking proof (if any) that he was the son of [[Moore-3195|John Moore]] (or [[Morse-360|Joseph Morse]]) and [[Barber-640|Dorothy Barber]] (or this [[Barber-631|Dorothy Barber]]). Until such proof is found, we are disconnecting John Moore, the immigrant, from these parents. If he was the John Moore of Henham, co. Essex,<ref>Anderson, "The English Origins of Philemon Whale," ''The Genealogist'' 6:134, 139-40)</ref> then he married (1) about 1625 Elizabeth _____; he married (2) at Little Gaddesden, do. Hertford, 27 Nov 1633 Elizabeth Rice, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Frost) Rice and stepdaughter of Philemon1 Whale, later of Sudbury. She was baptized at Stanstead, co. Essex, on 18 Nov 1612 and died in Sudbury, Massachusetts, on 14 Dec 1690 as "widow Elizabeth Moore."<ref>NEHGR 17:140</ref> == Life in New England == There is uncertainty about when John Moore arrived in New England. Ifthe baptism of Mary, daughter of John Moore, in Berkhamstead on 9 Jan1641/2 is that of a daughter of the immigrant, he must have arrived after that time. While the town history claims that John Moore was at the Sudbury settlement soon after it began (1638-1639),<ref>''The History of Sudbury'', [https://www.wikitree.com/photo/The_History_of_Sudbury.jpg Page 26]</ref> the first record of his presence is in September 1642, when he bought of [[Rice-52|Edmund Rice]] (father of his soon-to-be [[Rice-53|son-in-law]]) a house and land situated in the east part of the town, in the southerly part of what is now the town of Wayland.<ref name=Bolton303>Bolton, Ethel Stanwood.

It was finally sold, about the time of the Revolution, by a Cambridge man,who happened at the time to be living in Sudbury, but who was not a descendant of John Moore of Sudbury. 1645: He took the oath of fidelity at Sudbury July 9 1645.<ref name=Bolton303/> The same year, he bought of John Stone a dwelling house and house lot, and all other lands and meadows belonging to Stone by virtue of his right in the beginning of the plantation of Sudbury. 1653: He subscribed to the covenant of Lancaster "11th first mo. 1653," and forty acres of land were laid out in his name, and the first grant of lots (1653. 30th 9mo").{{Citation Needed}} He died 6 January 1673/4.<ref name=Bolton303/> == Last Will & Testament == His will<ref>Worcester Co Probate #10921</ref> was dated the 25th of August 1668, and was probated the 7th of April 1674.
