John 'the Elder' Moore, of Lancaster

In 1700, he deeded his land, with the exception of his house, to his adopted son, Benjamin Bellows, in return for support of himself and his wife, Judith, for the remainder of their lives. He died before 1702, for in that year the inventory of his estate was taken, though his noncupative will was not proved until 11/26/1703.

comment: "All published accounts mix this John Moore with an older John Moore of Lancaster, who had wife Judith, and ded there, apparently s.p. by Nov 26 1703, having deeded, by gift in 1700, his real estate to Benjamin Ballamy, in return for life care, etc. [Ref: Holman STEVENS-MILLER v2p153]"
