The Moores of Southold By Barrington S. Havens This article, in it's original format, is difficulet to locate as it was never published on its own. A manuscript was donated by the author to the Brookhaven Town Historian's office. Additionally, if you can locate copies, you can see this article in the Suffolk County Historical Society Register. It was published over several issues between 1975 and 1977 while Barrington S. Havens was editor.

    The Moore family is one of the earliest to settle in Southold, and it is given historical recognition there. But, as might be expected, a genealogical history is difficult because of the usual lack of records. However, because my grandmother was a Moore, I have for some time been attempting to research, analyze and organize the information available on this line. The only other organized research that I have found reported is the article, "The Moore Family of Southold, L.I." by C. B. Moore in the New York G. & B. Record in 1884.
    The material which follows, admittedly incomplete - and some of it speculative - is presented for two reasons: (1) quite selfishly, I hope it may stimulate other researchers to contribute additional material which might throw a light on my own line and (2) it may be of value to others researching their Moore lines. I shall, of course, be grateful to any who can correct errors or inaccuracies or provide better information than that so far available to me.

THOMAS MOORE earliest ancestor so far found, was an Englishman; he could be either of two persons. C. B. Moore (op cit) said there were two Thomases in England, each with a wife named Ann. One Ann was the daughter of Rowland Berkeley of Worcester, but C. B. Moore preferred the other Thomps,who had a son baptized in Southold, England, October 1630. The choice has some support in the coincidence of the two Southolds.

    Thomas of England died before January 3 1636-7, for his widow was at that time added as a member of the Salem Church in Massachusettes; thus, we know that Thomas and his wife came to this country before that time. C. B. Moore said that Thomas was born before 1600. tie also says that the widow Ann had five in her family in December, 1637'; her son Thomas-1 nearby, with four in his family, is the only child of whom we have any record.

THOMAS MOORE-1 son of Thomas of England and his wife Ann, was born ca 1615-6 in England and died Jun 25-27 1691 in Southold, N.Y. but he is mentioned in the will of his son Nathaniel - 204 dated 1698. I have no explanation for this conflict of dates. He married 1) probably ca 1636-8 Martha Youngs who was born 1613 and died Jun 27 1671 in Southold. C. B. Moore says she was the daughter of Rev. Christopher Youngs and Margaret


, coming with him to Salem and thence to Southold where she lived to 1671 or later. Thomas-1 married 2) Katherine Westcote, and C. B. Moore says she was the mother of nine children listed below - but this cannot be true, for both C. B. Moore and the Youngs family genealogy (M5) agree that Widow Martha (Youngs) Moore lived until 1671 or later, and all the children were born by 1650, as follows (one record gives birth dates, another, identical baptism dates):
Thomas-201 b Oct 21 1639 Salem d ca 1711 m Catherine Mott of Mamroneck; twin of Martha-202. Second Twin, b Oct 21 1639 Salem m John Simons/Peck; they had Peter, John, Sarah and Elizabeth. Benjamin-203 b Aug 2 1640 Salem m Anne Hampton. Nathaniel-204 b Jul 3 1642 Salem m Sarah Vail/Jackson. Hannah-205 b Dec 29 1644 Salem m Richardson Symonds. Elizabeth-206 b Aug 31 1647 Salem m Simon Grover; issue: Elizabeth, Mary, Martha. Jonathan-207 b Jun 3 1649 Salem d Mar 16 1689 m Martha Herbert. Mary-208 b Dec 15 1650 m Samuel/Simon Glover. Sarah-209 b Dec 15 1650 m Samuel Glover; I realize but do not understand the conflict between these two records.

    From all accounts, Thomas-1 was an important landholder in Southold. Moore's Index (M3) gives much detail, including many real estate transfers. He came there in 1650 and in 1658 was elected deputy to the New Haven general court. In 1673, he was named by Dutch officers to be magistrate, but he declined; in 1685, however, under English rule he became magistrate to try causes under 40 shillings. In 1683 he was overseer and on the committee to nominate members of the first assembly of New York. He had four males and three females in his family in 1686.
    His will, dated Jun 25 1691 probated Sep 30 1691, names wife Catherine and children Thomas, Nathaniel, Martha Symons, Hannah Symons, Elizabeth Grover, and Sarah Glover; Grover and Glover may well be the same name.
    C. B. Moore says Thomas-1 was the third husband of Catherine Westcote, she having m 1) Thomas Doxy of New London and 2) Daniel Land of New London and Setauket. He also mentions that there were 24 Moores on the 1698 census list, adding "it was curious to find in each of three places (Queens, Orange County, and Salisbury, Conn.) more descendants afterward than in Southold.

THOMAS MOORE-201 son of Thomas-1 and Martha (Youngs) Moore, was born Oct 21 1639/1649 and died ca 1711 (Moore's Index); he married ca 1663 Catherine Mott; issue:

Thomas-301 b Jun 8 1663 d Dec 30 1738 - but listed in the 1686 census. Nathaniel-302 b ca 1663. Martha-303 b ca 1660, m John Peek. Eliza-304 b ca 1670. Samuel-305 b ca 1660-1670. John-306 b ca 1660-1670, d Sep 6 1736.

Thomas-201 was included in the Southold rate lists established Sept 16 1675 as having one head£l8, 40 acres£40, 4 oxen£24, 2 yearlings £3, 9 cows £45, 18 sheep £6, and two swine£. In 1683 he was listed for £137. In the 1686 Southold census he had a family of five males and two females. His father deeded land to him in October 1662.

BENJAMIN MOORE-203 son of Thomas-1 & Martha (Youngs) Moore, was born Aug 2 1640 (bp then?-M9) Salem, died ca May 16 1690; he married Ann Hampton daughter of James Hampton of Salem; issue:

Benjamin-307 b 1678 d Jan 26 1728 m Abigail --- Abigail-308 Joseph-309 b 1676 d 1745 m Martha ---

    There were possibly other children, for the 1686 Southold census gives him five males and three females, totaling eight in the family. He was known as Captain Benjamin. He died intestate, and letters of administration were issued Sep 8 1691.

He is included in the Southold rate lists for £80 10s in 1683 and £118 in 1685. In Jan 1680 his father deed over to him two acres of Land, Calves Neck (M3).

Biography
Martha Young (Youngs/Yonges) was born in Southold, England and christened on July 1, 1613. She emigrated to New England in 1635, along with her husband Thomas Moore Jr., and small children.

Martha, a member of the first generation of the Young family to live in America, is the eighth child of Rev. Christopher Young, who was the Vicar of Reyden, Southwold, Suffolk, England. Her father, the Reverend Christopher Young, died in Southwold, England in 1626 and was buried in the chancel of the church at Southwold. The children emigrated a few years later, most likely for reasons of religious freedom.

Martha Youngs married Thomas Moore in Salem and they went in 1650 to establish a Puritan colony at Southold on Long Island. Here the daughter of Thomas Moore and Martha Youngs, Elizabeth, married Richard Clark. Sources
