Notes for Benjamin Moore and Sarah Stokes

167x Benjamin Moore was born in Syresham, Northamptonshire, England to Benjamin Moore. [1]

1670 Sarah Stokes, daughter of Thomas Stokes and Mary Bernard, was born in London, England (also reported as Stepney, Middlesex) about 1670. [2] [3]

c 1675 Mercy Newberry was born about this time, perhaps. (second wife of Benjamin Moore)

Benjamin Moore was not specifically named on a ship list, so it is uncertain when he arrived in America. His close association with the Haines family suggests that he arrived on the Ship Amity in 1682. Some researchers suggest that he arrived on the ship Kent in 1677.

1677 Benjamin Moore reportedly came as a young man from Birmingham, Lincolnshire, England on the ship Kent [4]. [Note: Birmingham, Lincolnshire does not exist, which raises doubt about this source.] Sarah Stokes and her parents came on the same ship and were from Stepney, Middlesex, England. The ship arrived in New Castle in August 1677 and then proceeded up the Delaware River to Burlington, West Jersey. [5] [6]

1682 Richard and Margaret Haines, with their children Richard, Thomas, William, and mary, left Aynhoe of ye Hill in the spring of 1682. They embarked at Gravesend, on the 'Amity' - Richard Diamond, Master - and sailed from Downs, England, for West Jersey, on April 23, 1682. The trip was long and tedious, as was common in the day of sailing ships. Richard, the father, sickened and died. After his death, another son, Joseph, was born on the high seas. [7] [Note that the Haines family and the Moore family were both of Northamptonshire.]

Research Notes:

A story written by a descendant included this extract and was followed by editorial notes in NGSQ which summarize the uncertain ancestry of this Benjamin Moore [62] Much of this report has been superseded or contradicted by Edmund E Moore, The Benjamin Moore Family of Burlington County New Jersey [63]:

My father's name is Bloomfield Haynes Moore. … Father's parents, Samuel French Moore and Rachel Matlack Haynes (or Haines) were both from Quaker families in New Jersey. Grandfather Moore was the son of Amasa, son of Bethuel, son of Benjamin 2nd, son of Benjamin, the son of John who came to America from Lincolnshire, England, in 1677 to escape religious persecution, having been one of those who previous to their coming sent out a commissioner to buy land for them in N.J. and Pa. It is said of them in history that "they left good estates behind them." A Bible which he brought with him from England has been in the family for over two hundred and fifty years. It is the edition of 1616, printed in London. It was entailed by him to his male descendants bearing the name of John, which was the name of the last ancestor possessing it in England.

(During the 18th century the heirs of John and Benjamin Moore were notified first by advertisement in Philadelphia and New Jersey newspapers, and afterwards by letters from a soliciter in London that an estate of some magnitude (20 million pounds) had been left to them by will in Lincolnshire, England: but they, owning large landed properties in New Jersey and contented with their condition, refused to go to England to take the necessary steps to secure the property. When an attempt was made in this century to recover it, it was found to be too late.)

[editorial notes] Benjamin Moore was the progenitor of the New Jersey family, not the supposed father John. A John Moore purchased land at Chesterfield, Burlington County, N.J., in 1695. In his will, dated Jan. 6, 1726-7, he named numerous relatives in Hunterdon Co. N.J., and also a Benjamin Moore, of Newtown, Queens Co., N.Y. It is very likely that he was a relative of Benjamin Moore, of Evesham, Burlington Co., N.J. (the founder of the family treated in Mrs. moore's MS.), and that after the latter had settled there he removed to West Jersey to be near him. The name Benjamin seems to have been common in the Queens Co. and Hunterdon Co. families, as well as the Burlington Co. line. (See N.J. Archives, 1st Series, Vol. XXI, Calendar of Records, p. 478, and Vol. XXX, Calendar of Wills, Col. II, p. 343). Another ancient family tradition claims that Benjamin of Burlington Co. was a brother of Sir John Moore, Knt., of Lincolcnshire, but the story lacks foundation. The only Sir John Moore connected with Jersey was a member of the West Jersey Society and lived in London, apparently never coming to America. There is no known connection between him and the various N.J. Moore families. Benjamin Moore's first wife (by whom he had all of his children) was Sarah, the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Barnard) Stokes, of London and West Jersey. Thomas Stokes is believed to have been a son of Henry and Elizabeth Stokes, of Stepney, Middlesex, by one writer (Milton Rubincam, "A Little-Known Adventure of Thomas Stokes - 1665", Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, Oct. 1937, pp. 81-82), while another historian of the family connects him with an ancient clan of Stokes of Essex (Joseph Stokes, M.D., Notes on My Stokes Ancestry, pp 7-8, 12). …

1739 Burlington, NJ Election returns page 193 named Benjamin Moore, Sr.

1739 On 17-18 of month 7 (September), the yearly Quaker meeting at Philadelphia named representatives called by quarterly meetings including Benj. Moore of Shrewsbury. [64]

A biosketch of Benjamin Moore reports [65]:

Benjamin Moore, the founder of the family, came from Birmingham, Lincolnshire, England, to Burlington, New Jersey, and married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Bernard) Stokes. His son, Benjamin, married, in 1730, Rebecca, daughter of Joseph Fennimore, and their fifth child and second son, Bethuel, born March 14, 1741, married Martha, daughter of John Allen. Their third child and second son Amasa, born March 15, 1770, married Agnes, daughter of Samuel French, and their eldest child, Samuel French, born October 7, 1793, married Rachel, daughter of Nehemiah Haines and Abigail, daughter of Noah Haines and Hannah (Thorn) Turner, the widow of George Turner and the daughter of Thomas and Letitia (Hinchman) Thorn, and granddaughter of Joseph and Mary (Bowne) Thorne. Nehemiah was the son of Jonathan Haines and Hannah, daughter of William and Mary (Austin) Sharp. Samuel French and Rachel (Haines) Moore had two children: Bloomfield Haines, who married Clara Jessup, and Carlton Ridgway.

A biosketch of Benjamin Moore reports [66] [67]
:

Benjamin Moore, progenitor of the New Jersey family, came from Birmingham. Lincolnshire. England, in company with Thomas Stokes, in the ship "Kent," and arrived at New Castle in August, 1677. He proceeded up the Delaware river to Burlington, West Jersey, and is said to have been the largest land holder in the colony in his line. He was married in 1693 to Sarah, daughter of Thomas Stokes, who was born in 1670. Children: John, Benjamin, Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, Dorothy and Mary.

A biosketch, with undocumented speculations [68]:

Moore This name came into England with William the Conqueror, in 1066. Thomas de More was among the survivors of the battle of Hastings, October n, of that year, and was a recipient of many favors at the hands of the triumphant invader. All the antiquarians of Scotland and the authorities on genealogy are agreed that the name Dennis-toun of Dennistoun, ranks with the most eminent and ancient in the realms of the United Kingdom. It certainly dates back to 1016 and probably earlier, and Joanna, or Janet, daughter of Sir Hugh Dangieltown, married Sir Adam More, Rowallan, and became the mother of Elizabeth More, who, in 1347, married King Robert II, of Scotland, from whom sprang the long line of Stuart monarchs. Another Janet, about 1400, married her cousin, Sir Adam More, of Rowallan. This motto has been preserved by the Dennis-touns: "Kings come of us; not we of kings." The name of Moore has been numerously borne in England, Scotland, and later in Ireland, representatives of this family having filled distinguished positions in the United Kingdom, and several of them occupied seats as members of parliament. They have also been eminent in military affairs. Richard Moore came in the "Mayflower" to Scituate. Massachusetts, and the name is common in the records of Plymouth, Newbury and Salem, the earliest settlements in the state. Among the later immigrants was a fine Quaker family which located at an early period in New Jersey and has continued in the vicinity of its first settlement, with many worthy descendants. Abstemious, sober and industrious tillers of the soil, they cared not for political preferment, had large families and generally lived to a good old age.
