This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!  

I think Epaphroditus Moore's   father was probably a  John Moore as he named his only son mentioned in his will, John.   Also, his first patent was near John Moore's land.

Elizabeth House was the daughter of George House and Mary his wife.
  but she appears to be the wife of James Moore in 1770. 

Is Elizabeth wife of Epap. the daughter or sister of Peter Parker??

The name Epaphroditus is from Phil. 2: 25 means handsome
The name Epaphras Col. 1:  7 [is it contracted from the other?]
