General Notes: Husband - Johnston Moore

---

After the death of his parents he lived with his aunt, Elizabeth Johnston McLanahan, at her home, Prospect Hill, near Greencastle, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Dickinson College, Carlisle, and during this time lived with his guardian, Andrew Carothers, Esq. At the age of eighteen he took possession and management of his estate, including the original lands which had descended to him from his great-grandfather James.
His life was passed quietly in the management of his estate and in pursuit of his favorite sports, hunting and fishing. He owned one of the finest trout preserves in the state, "Bonny Brook," one mile and a half from his home. He was a vestryman of St. John's Church, and after his marriage lived at his residence in Carlisle.
He and his wife had three sons and six daughters. All of these children were dead before 1886 except three daughters.
