Sally's
great-great-great-great-great Grandparents:
William Moore ca 1705 - 1771 |
his parents
& Sarah Lawrence ca 1715 - aft Feb 1748 |
her parents
of Nansemond County, Virginia
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
William Moore resided in Nansemond
county, Va. He was a member of the Vestry of the Upper Parish. He had at least three sons.
He was a Capt in the militia. His wife was probably a Lawrence.

e-mail from
Alan: Due to her father's death in 1789, siblings Sarah Dickinson, and brothers John
and Laurence Dickinson, became wards of Laurence Moore. This was recorded in
Northhampton County, North Carolina, Guardian Accounts, Book A, 1781-1802, pgs
101-102. In 1789 (Time of death of Father), Sarah Dickinson would have been @ 11,
followed by John Dickinson @ 9, and finally, Laurence Dickinson, who would have
been @ 7 years of age. Evidently, the children's mother, Martha Laurence was
deceased prior to John Dickinson's , Sr. death, presumably @ 1784. This is when
another child, Abagail Dickinson, evidently died.
Although Elizabeth (Dickinson) was Laurence Moore's 1st wife, by 1801, his 2nd
wife, and her sister Martha (Dickinson) is also believed to be deceased. By the
end of 1801, Laurence Moore was married to Tabitha Lockhart Moore (his cousin,
through Moses Moore?). Tabitha was Laurence Moore's third, and final wife.
I attended a "dedication ceremony" in 1998 for the discovered gravesite of Laurence Moore & his third wife, Tabitha in Polkston, Anson County, NC. NH

e-mail from Mike Copeland Sept '06
On your website I see that you have Laurence Moore as the son of Lawrence
Moore, Sr. Our research produced a sworn statement of the grandson of
Lawrence Moore, Jr. in which he says that he was named for his great
grandfather JAMES MOORE and he signed and dated the statement as James
Moore. I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the statement. In that
case then Laurence Moore as the son of James Moore would have been named for
his brother Lawrence and for his mother's maiden name. On the 1790 Census he
does not use nor does he sign any papers with the "Jr."at the end
of his name. So, I think it is very probable that Lawrence Moore of Anson
County is the son of James Moore and not Lawrence Moore.
