Research Notes:
there is uncertainty about when John MOORE arrived in New England [Ref:
Plummer MOORE p76]
[WTM: apparently wrong John MOORE]
emigrated in the Planter in 1634 (Pope PioneersMA) or 1635 (Savage MOORE
John), or at age 24 (DeForest MOORE, Banks Planters), or 1634 with certificate
from Stepney parish (Coldham Immigrants, Hotten OriginalLists) [Ref: Banks
Planters p140, Coldham Immigrants p128, DeForest MOORE p319, Hotten
OriginalLists p43, Pope PioneersMA p317, Sav-age MOORE John]

[WTM: apparently wrong John MOORE]
mentioned in Boston records in 1639 as governor's servant [Ref: Pope
PioneersMA p317]
of Sudbury, Massachusetts [Ref: Ferris DAWES-GATES v1p445]
Sudbury proprietor 1640 [Ref: Pope PioneersMA p317]
signed a May 1640 agreement in Sudbury, but possible his name was added to the
list later to indicate he assented to the agreement, and he was a later
immigrant [Ref: Plummer MOORE p76]
in Sudbury before 1642 [Ref: Ferris DAWES-GATES v1p446, MooreWH MOORE p2]
September 1642: in Sudbury, bought a house and land in the section that is now
Wayland. [Ref: Bolton MOORE v57p300, DeForest MOORE p319, Sargent MOORE p72]
bought land in Sudbury in 1642 [Ref: Pope PioneersMA p317]

1645/6: bought of John Stone "his house-lot, with all other land belonging
to the said John Stone by virtue of his first right in the beginning of the
plantation of Sudbury; and also all the fences that is now standing about any
part of the said land, and also all the board and shelves that are now about
the house, whether fast or loose and now belonging to the said house [Ref:
Ferris DAWES-GATES v1p446]
took oath of allegiance on Jul 9 1645 [Ref: Bolton MOORE v57p300, DeForest
MOORE p319, Sargent MOORE p72]
proprietor at Lancaster Mar 11 1653/54; probably gave son John land at
Lancaster as his share in the estate, as he only received five shillings in
will, with the comment that he had already received his portion [Ref: DeForest
MOORE p320]
Will dated Aug 5 proved Apr 7 1674 [Ref: MooreWH MOORE p2]
Will dated Aug 25 1668, probated Apr 7 1674, names eldest son John (of
Lancaster) and eldest daughter Elizabeth (wife of Henry Rice), sons William,
Jacob, Joseph, and Benjamin, daughters Mary (wife of Daniel Stone), and Lydia
(wife of James Cutter) [Ref: DeForest MOORE p319]

Elizabeth, gave five shillings each to his "eldest son" John of Lancaster,
"eldest daughter" Elizabeth wife of henry Rice, daughter Mary wife of Daniel
Stone, and "youngest daughter" Lydia wife of james Cutler "for that I have

will probated Apr 7 1674, Worcester Co Probate 10921. Inventory of estate
showed valuation of 804#7.0. [Ref: Bolton MOORE v57p300]
will is unusual for the period, in its format, evidently drawn up and
written by an educated person; attention is called to the prayer by the
testator, at the end of the body of the will. There appears to be no printed
copy of the will, doubtless because of the difficulty in rading the original,
and the copies of the will and inventory in probate volume 5, pages 55-63 do
not follow the originals. [Ref: Holman STEVENS-MILLER v2p149]
copy of the original will is given in [Ref: Holman STEVENS-MILLER v2p149]
