John Moore, Esq, of Isle of Wight

Not the same as John Moore, of Elizabeth City

"JOHN MOORE, A Merchant Marine From Bristol Eng., who settled in "Isle of Wright" in 1640; Father of Thomas, George, and Katherine MOORE;

From < “MOORE-(WILLIAMS) EXCERPT” >

George Moore probably lived in England briefly—perhaps first pursuing an education and then on family business interests. On 29 July 1650, when he was only 18, he and his future father-in-law Charles Barcroft were on the headright list of John Munger (Nugent, I, 191). As noted above in the material on Barcroft, Moore and his purported brother-in-law Richard Williams witnessed the assignment of Barcroft’s effects in 1654 to his third wife Magdalen and son William, probably a year or so before his marriage to Barcroft’s daughter Jane. On 25 September 1663, George Moore was a headright, along with several Blackwater people, including Ann Wombwell and Joseph and Thomas Poole, of John Harvey who was patenting along the Carolina frontier (Nugent, I, 191, 427). Joseph Poole is noted above as the second husband of Moore’s purported aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore Champion Poole Walton. John Harvey was the son-in-law of James Tooke whose will was witnessed by Thomas Carter, # 8, on 1 February 1659. Concerning the Harvey-Tooke connection, see William Carter, # 2, the note at “ca. 1625/29. A settled career in Isle of Wight probably began for George Moore when his purported brother-in-law Robert Flake conveyed to George Moore land at Blackwater from Flake’s 2,700-acre patent on 20 August 1666 (Boddie, Seventeenth Century, p. 558). Flake and wife Katherine deeded George Moore additional land on 18 October 1669 (Isle of Wight Wills and Deeds, 1662-1715, Vol. I, p. 201). Neither the amounts of land nor any consideration are mentioned. Robert Flake and George Moore were the bondsmen for Mary Skinner, daughter of Katherine Flake by her first husband, name unknown, as administratrix for Mary’s husband Richard Skinner on 9 April 1677 (Chapman, Wills, p. 104). George Moore had already added to his holdings in 1669 when he patented 1,400 acres on the “2d Swamp” of the Blackwater adj. Captain Wombwell and the Beaver Dam Branch, from whence came part of the plantation of son-in-law his Thomas Carter; one of his headrights was John Collins who became the third husband of the aforementioned Mary Skinner, evidently George Moore’s niece. See Nugent, Vol. 2, p. 57.

A William Baldwin, very probably his son, signed a petition to His Majesty in Behalf of Governor Berkeley in 1676 praising his administration.(17 C-161)He was therefore a Loyalist.

He married is Sept. 6, 1679, Mrs. Elizabeth Barlow, widow of Thomas Barlow whose will was recorded April 9, 1679. (BK A-179)As Mrs. Elizabeth Baldwin she presented an inventory of Thomas Barlow’s estate on June 6, 1679. (Id 200)

Mr. Lundie Barlow, in his chapter on the Barlow family which will appear in Volume II of this series, states that Elizabeth was probably a sister of George and Thomas Moore.They were sons of John Moore, Burgess of Isle of Wight 1640 (5V233).John Moore patented 300 acres on the western Branch of Nansemond River March 11, 1664, 200 acres granted John Bryan March 18, 1662, who sold to said Moore and 100 acres for the transportation of John Moore’s wife and John Clarke. (C. P. 480)John Moore probably died in Nansemond leaving wife Ann who afterwards married a Mr. Baron and then Anthony Matthews.
