General Notes: Husband - Samuel N. Moore


In 1824, when about twenty years of age, he moved to Washington Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and purchased, at $1.25 per acre, a tract of wild land, and endured many privations and hardships in clearing and developing it. He was one of the early school teachers of Butler County, and taught winters from 1820 to 1844, at first receiving about $12 per month, which was mostly paid in grain.

He was a schoolteacher, and came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Butler County in 1823. He was an abolitionist, and did all in his power to aid fleeing slaves. The United Presbyterian Church represented their religious associations.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Christy


After the death of her husband, she resided with her son, James R., on the old homestead.
