| BIRTH | Martha's birth is currently unknown. |
| DEATH | Martha died after 1718[1]. We know that she was alive in that year because land grants given to John Moorein 1688-1700 were confirmed to his widow, Martha, older son Jeremiah & younger son, Samuel in 1718. |
| LEGAL MENTION | Martha received the following bequest from her grandfather Thomas Walford in 1666: "...I give one of the youngest sows to Martha Walford, my grandchild..."[3] |
| MARRIAGE | Before 1679 Martha married John MOORE[72,99], son of William MOORE & Dorothy [surname not known], in York, York co., ME[36,100,101]. |
| CHILDREN (surnamed MOORE) | i. | Martha MOORE[1,72,73,103] | Please see her own page. | |
| 13. | ii. | John MOORE |
John was born on 20 December 1687 in York, York co., ME[1,7]. His birth record reads:
"Jno. More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha,
the dafter of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: John More, Borne Decem.r ye 20: 1687"
[26]. John's death date is unknown. He was still living in 1737.
In 1703 he was bequeathed one third of John Brawn, Jr.'s estate "when of age"[1]. This is part of the bequest given to John's father by his father's cousin John Brawn, Jr. John Brawn, Jr. was unmarried at the time of his death and preferred to give bequests to his "Moore cousins" in his will of 8 October 1703. Also, land grants given to John's father, John Sr., in 1688-1700 were confirmed to John, his mother, Martha and his brother Samuel in 1718. John first married Hannah JORDAN[1,7] and second married Mary WOODMAN [1,7]. Mary was born on 1 June 1701 in York co., ME and died after 1737; she was 35 [1,27]. John had four daughters, but I do not have their information or by which wife [1]. |
|
| 14. | iii. | Mary MOORE |
Mary was born on 23 May 1679 in York, York co., ME[1]. Her birth record reads: "Jno.
More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha, the dafter
of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: Mary More was Borne May 23th 1679"[1,26,28].
We are not sure of her death date, but the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine & New Hampshire says that
she survived her husband by "many years"[28]. In fact, she is included on "List
of Propietors" -- as "Roger Hunnewell's widow" -- for the town of Scarborough, Cumberland
co., ME on 22 June 1720[1].
In her father's will which is undated but was proved on 7 July 1713 she is referred to as "Marcy&##4;, which is a common version of "Mary" at the time (as is "Mercy"). Mary married Roger HUNNEWELL, son of [not known] HUNNEWELLM & Elizabeth STOVER [1]. He was born circa 1675 in Maine[1] and died in Scarborough, Cumberland co., ME on 13 June 1720; he was 45[1,28]. Roger was baptized on 15 October 1693 at the age of eighteen[1,28]. This would seem to indicate that he became a member of a Baptist Church or, maybe he was just a late-comer. Roger was a Mariner. His sloop Yorkshire was noted entering Boston Harbor from Barbados on June 1714. Proof of his residence at York, York co., ME is given by the fact that he was a witness in proceedings at York from 1702 1708[1,28]. |
|
| 15. | iv. | Samuel MOORE |
Samuel was born on 14 January 1694/5 in York, York co., ME[1,7] and died sometime after 1757,
when he was reported still living[1,7]. Samuel's birth record reads: "Jno.
More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha, the dafter
of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: Samuel More, Borne Janawary ye 14: 1694"[1,26].
Also, land grants given to Samuel's father, John Sr., in 1688-1700 were confirmed to Samuel, his mother, Martha and his brother John in 1718. Samuel married Dorcas HILTON and they had 7 children[1,29]. |
|
| 16. | v. | Sarah MOORE |
Sarah was born on 7 January 1685/6 in York, York co., ME[1,7]. Her birth record reads:
"Jno. More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha, the
dafter of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: Sarah More, Borne Janawary ye 7: 1685"
[1,26].
According to the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine & New Hampshire, Sarah possibly first married Jonathan IRELAND, who appeared in court at York, York co., ME together with his wife "Sarah MORE" in July 1718. This Sarah also witnessed the will of John Wells in York, 1723[1,30]. My feeling is that this, and the marriage to Ichabod Austin were common-law marriages. Sarah's next marriage was to Ichabod AUSTIN[1,31]. Clearly they had a sexual relationship before marriage, since "Ichabod Austin (son of Captain Matthew Austin) was accused by Sarah Moore, daughter of John and Martha (Walford) Moore" of being the father of her son, Ichabod, born 12 Aug 1712."[1,7] Sarah next married Ephraim AYERS[1]. Their relationship is ascertained by the following entry in the York, York co., ME vital records: "Epharim Aires, his Children, born in York of Sarah his Wife, the daughter of John More"[1,7,32]. Note the difference in this record vs. those concerning Jonathon Ireland & Ichabod Austin. Sarah is referred to as "Sarah More" in those records, but here is referred to as "Sarah his Wife, the daughter of John More", thus seeming to indicate that Ephraim & Sarah were legally married. Regardless, Sarah seems to have been the wild child in this sibling unit. |

| 17. | vi. | Tabitha MOORE |
Tabitha was born on 10 January 1689/90 in York, York co., ME[1,7]. Her birth record reads:
"Jno. More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha,
the dafter of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: Tabatha More, Borne Janaw.r: ye 10 1689"
[1,26].
Tabitha first married Thomas VINCENT[1,7] and died in March 1719 in York, York co., ME[1]. They had two daughters who may have died young[1]. Tabitha second married William HARRIS of York, York co., ME. William was born in York, York co., ME[1,33]. They had 5 daughters by second husband between 1721 and 1732[1,33]. |
|
| 18. | vii. | Abigail MOORE | Abigail was born on 12 February 1691/2 in York, York co., ME[1,7]. Her birth record reads: "Jno. More: the age or beath (births) of John Moore's Children by his wife Martha, the dafter of _____ Walford of the Grate Island: Abagall More, Borne febuary ye 12: 1691" [1,26]. She may have died before her father[1,7]. |
