Jonathan Moore, Sr.

From "Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury, Mass.", by Ethel Stanwood Bolton, B.A., of Shirley, Mass.

Jonathan Moore was born in Lancaster (MA), May 16, 1669. He lived in Bolton, though the baptisms of several of his children were recorded in Lancaster. His wife's name was Hannah.

In 1732-3, Jonathan deeded land to his son, Oliver, which had come to him from his father, John (Worcester Co. Deeds, Vol. 4, p. 31). In 1740, he deeded land to his son, Abraham, "who lives with me", land and his new house and barn (Worcester Co. Deeds, Vol. 14, p. 468).

On Dec. 1, 1741, he made his will; and on Feb. 6, following, he died in Bolton. His will mentions all his children, and his brother, John (Worcester Co. Probate 41427).

His wife, Hannah, died in Bolton, May 1, 1765, leaving a will in which she mentions all her children except Isaac, who had died (Worcester Co. Probate), 41377).
