Joseph Moore, Sr.

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

Joseph Moore was born in Sudbury, Oct. 21, 1647. He married 1st Lydia Hayward; and married 2nd, some time after he made his will in 1718-19, Ruth. He died Jan. 2, 1725-6, and his will was proved the same year, though there was no provision in it for his widow, Ruth. She finally consented to the will because her sons Benjamin and John had promised to make satisfactory provision for her maintenance. The will mentions his sons Benoney, Joseph, Thomas, Benjamin, John and Obediah, and his daughters Hannah Gleason, Elizabeth Rice, Mary and Lydia.

Benoni, b. Apr. 14, 1669

Hannah, b. Jan. 2, 1673; m. Feb. 17, 1705, Joseph Gleason

Mary, b. May 7, 1681

Marriages

: Husband: Moore-4393|Joseph Moore : Wife: Maynard-281|Lydia Maynard : Marriage: :: Date: before 14 APR 1669:: Place: probably Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts<ref>Source: #S-2009482839 </ref><ref>Source: #S-2009482851</ref>: There is no record of this marriage in the Sudbury records.<ref>#S29 Sudbury VRs</ref>, but it is adequately proven by Lydia's father's references in his Will and by court cases regarding fornication between Joseph Moore and Lydia Maynard.<ref>[[#S33] Neil D. Thompson, "Lydia Maynard, Wife of Joseph Moore of Sudbury, MA" TAG 60(Jan 1984):53-56</ref>: "Liddia, w. Joseph, d. on Nov. 23, 1717" at Sudbury.<ref>#S29 Sudbury VRs, Page 317</ref>

: Husband: Moore-4393|Joseph Moore : Wife: Starr-191|Ruth Starr : Marriage: :: Date: about 1718 :: Place: Massachusetts<ref>Source: #S-2009482839</ref>: Joseph's second wife, Ruth, is not mentioned in his Will, dated 1 Jan 1718/19, so it is assumed that he married after drawing up the Will.<ref>[[#S33] TAG 60(Jan 1984):53</ref> : A "Joseph Moore & Ruth Starr were married 21st --- 3rd month [1656] by John Endicott Govr." at Boston,<ref>#S31 Page 57</ref> but, given the date, 1656, Joseph would have been only nine years of age, so this can't be the correct marriage date. Also, I cannot find any source for the last name "Starr," and I think it was mistakenly taken from the 1656 marriage of a Ruth Starr to a different Joseph Moore.[Watt-266|Watt-266]] 14:16, 25 April 2014 (EDT)
