General Notes: Husband - Robert Moore


In early life (1780) he removed from Cecil County, Maryland, and settled in Rostraver township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was married in 1780, before leaving Maryland.
He erected a large two-story log house, quite uncommon in that region at the time, into which he moved and lived during his life. He was one of that sturdy class of men who settled in the region of Dunlap's Creek, Rehoboth and Round Hill churches. They were decidedly Presbyterian and formed the nucleus for those churches which stood long and whose old members left the impress of their lives upon the generations to follow them.

He and his wife had six children; Ebenezer was the youngest.
