General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Moore
His father died when he was a small boy, and his mother, in company with her brothers, Charles and John Wilson, removed to the district of Westmoreland County as early as 1757. At the commencement of the Revolution he was engaged in cleaning out and cultivating a large farm of four hundred acres on Crabtree Run, a branch of the Loyalhanna, two miles south of New Alexandria. A comfortable stone dwelling, still in pretty good condition many years later, marked the place of his residence, and indicates a man in advance of the rude civilization of that day. He was a member of the Convention of July 15, 1776, and appointed by that body on the Committee of Safety. In 1777 he was appointed a justice of the peace, and subsequently surveyor of the public lands in Westmoreland County. In 1779 he was commissioned one of the justices of the several courts of Westmoreland, and in 1785 was presiding judge. Under the constitution of 1790, Judge Moore was retired from the bench, being succeeded by the celebrated Judge Addison. In 1792 he was chosen to the State Senate from the district of Allegheny and Westmoreland.
In personal appearance Judge Moore was a man full six feet in height, straight and erect, had large brown eyes, brown hair, and nose rather aquiline. He had two sons and four daughters. One of his sons was county surveyor of Westmoreland, the other, a civil engineer, died in Kentucky. [HWC 1882, 296]
He was appointed judge of election by the Provincial Congress, June 23, 1776. He was member of the convention of July 15, 1776, appointed by that body on the committee of safety for Pennsylvania, representing Westmoreland county; November 24 of same year, treasurer for advance money to pay troops; June 11, 1777, commissioned justice for Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania; August 18, 1784, commissioned justice for Westmoreland; August 24, 1785, commissioned president of court of common pleas, quarter sessions and orphans' court of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania; 1792 elected to state senate, representing Allegheny and Westmoreland counties; member of convention that adopted the constitution of Pennsylvania, September 2, 1776; added to declaration of rights committee, July 22, 1776. [GPHAV, 458]
