1622 On 24 November, Margaret Howell, daughter of Edward Howell was baptized at Marsh Gibbon Church, co. Buckingham, England. [1] [2]
c 1638 John Moore's eldest son, John, may have been born about 1638 to an unknown first wife.
1638-1641 Margaret's father Edward Howell sold his land in England in 1638. He took the oath of freeman in Boston in March of 1638/39. In March of 1639/40, Edward Howell was one of eleven men who contracted to undertake a plantation and trans port their goods and persons from Lynn, Massachusetts, to their intended plantation. The agreement called for the lots to be fenced by April 1641.
c 1641 John Moore and Margaret Howell were married. Their sons Gershom and Samuel were not included in the Newtown tax rate dated 16 March 1661/62, suggesting they may both have been under age 21 at that time. [3] At a town meeting on September 18, 1662, both Gershom and Samuel were granted land in Newtown. [4] Perhaps Gershom was then 21 and Samuel nearly of age.
1641 On April 6 a planting was lot laid out for John Moore in Southampton on Long Island. [5] [6]
It is ordered that there shall be three planteing lotts layed out, abutting upon the Little Common appertayneing vnto each of the forty eight Acres, viz : to Henry Symonds, the first lott, to Mr. Abraham Peirson the second Lott, and to John Moore, the third lott; yt being further ordered that the persons above mentioned shall be at the charge of fencing the sayd lotts, so much as they shall abutt vpon the lillle common.
1642/43 In mid March, John Moore was one of several men in Southampton censored for speaking against Magistrate Daniel Howe. The others were Thomas Halsey, William Wills, and Richard Barret. [7]
March 16 1643 Iohn Moore was censured for saying Daniel How did vsurpe the execution of the place of Magistracy hee then lyein under Church censure, not being then deposed or degraded from the same. And to confesse his fayling yf hee shall bee at the next quarter Court.
1643/44 The town of Southampton was divided into four wards on March 7, [8]
March 7th 1644 yt is ordered by this present Court that yf by the prouidence of God there shall be henceforth within the bounds of this plantacon any Whale or whales cast vp. ffor the prevention of disorder yt is consented vnto that there shall be fowre wards in this towne, Eleaven persons in each ward, and by lott two of each ward (if any such whales shall be cast vp) shall be imployed for the cutting out of the sayd whales, who for their paynes shall have a double share, And every Inhabitaut with his child or servant that is aboue sixteene yeares of age, shal haue in the diuision of the other part an equall proportion, prouided that such person when yt falls into his ward [be] a sufficient man to be imployed aboute yt. And yt is further agreed vpon that there shall be in each ward eleven persons. ... ffor the third ward Richard Gosmer Arthur Bostock Henry Pierson Iohn Hande Thomas Hyldreth Iohn Mnlford lohn Moore Ell's Cook Robert Bond ffulk Danes & Mr Howe.
1644 On May 30, John Moore was one of three delegates from Southampton at Hartford to negotiate Southampton's incorporation into Connecticut. [9] The agreement states, [10]
Whereas formerly sume Ouerturs haue by letters paste betwixt sum deputed by the Jurissdiction of Conectecote and others of ye plantation of Southampton vpon Long Iland, concerning vnion into one boddy and gouernment, wherby y^ said Towne might be interested in ye general combination of ye vnited Collonies, for prossecution and issuing wherof, Edward Hopkins & John Haines being authorised wth power from ye Generall Corte for ye Jurisdiction of Conecticute, & Edward Howell, John Gosmore and John More deputed by ye Towne of Southampton, It was by the said parties concluded & agreed, And ye said Towne of Southampton doe by their said deputies, for themselues and their successors, assotiate and joyne themselues to ye Jurisdiction of Conecticote, to be subiectto al the lawes there established, according to y'e word of God and right reson, wth such exceptions & limmitations as are hereafter expressed.
1647 On June 24, John Moore was a witness to an agreement about the governance of the town of Southampton. [11]
Southampton Iune 24 1647 Wee whose names are vnderwritten doe witnes that all the Inhabitants ot this towne except Tho. Vale & Tho. Burnet were present and consenting vnto the aforesaid agreement, only Mr Smith was out of towne.
Edward Howell, Io. Gosmer, Abraham Pierson, Iob Sayre, Richard Odell, John Moore, Thomas Halsey, Henry Pierson.
1648/49 On March 9, John Moore was "named in a list of 'perfect freemen' of Southampton; only sixteen in number" [12] [13]
A List of the perfect freemen inhabiting this Towne of Southampton March 8 1649. Edward Howell Gent, Iohn Gosmer Gent, Iohn Moore, Richard Odell Gent, Thomas Halsey, Iohn Howell, William Browne, Iohn Cooper, Thomas Sayre, Iob Sayre, Edward lohnes, Iosiah Stanborough, Thomas Talmage, Richard Smith, Richard Barrett, Iohn White.
1649 John Moore "was not on the list of townmen--26 in number" in Southampton on May 10. [14] [15] An agreement with "Rev'd Robert Fordham to preach at Southampton took effect on 1st April 1649." [16] These records suggest that John Moore left Southampton between March 9 and May 10, 1649, perhaps in part because of the appointment of the new preacher.
1651 John Moore was the minister of the church Hempstead when he attested to the following letter on September 25. [17]
The Magistrates of Heemstede to the Directors at Amsterdam.
Honorable and Right Worshipful.
After tendering our love, humble service and due reverence, we have taken the liberty to inform your Honors that we have received your friendly and acceptable letters, dated Amsterdam, 21st March, 1651, by which we learn your Honors' care, attention and favor towards us ; and howbeit we do not deserve such, neither the favors received nor those proffered, whereof although unworthy, yet shall we exert ourselves to be and remain your Honors' honest, loving and faithful friends and subjects, as your Honors were pleased formerly to name and style us, being anxious to obey your commands according to the rules of righteousness, beyond which we are certain your Honors will neither ask nor order. In regard to those who have been malignant or malevolent towards our respected Governor and government, we hope that your Honors will not include us among them, as we have not countenanced nor assisted them in their complaints or designs. And as we have found the Governor to be an honorable, upright and wise person, of courteous demeanor towards us at all times, in all places, and on all required occasions, we request that we may have him to respect and encourage, as far as in our humble power and means lies, as your Honors' President and our very dear Governor. In opposition to those who are contrarily inclined, we say: "Dieu est mon droit; Hony soit qui mal y pense." "Evil be to him who evil thinks." Hoping that he will endeavor to patronize and protect those who are honest and upright, which is a wholesome principle or fundamental, together with their honest affairs, according to the will of God ; We cannot do less than humbly and earnestly thank your Honors for bearing in mind to provide us with powder and lead, requesting, in like manner, your annual supplement thereof, and we shall endeavor honestly to satisfy you with such pay as we shall receive. But we cannot forego submitting to your Honors one sad grievance or hardship, which is the more painful to us because of your diligence and care to prevent it, and its direful consequences, notwithstanding which our grievances remain unredressed. We mean the daily and public sale to the Indians of powder and lead, many men making such a practice of this trade that they cannot live without this desperate traffic. Thus it is probable that those Indians will, in a short time, be the destruction both of the Dutch and English, as such practice renders them powerful and merciless; so that unless a supernatural power keep them under, neither nation will be able to resist them. Moreover, since our last letters to your Honors, wherein we besought a reform in this matter, those Indians have been guilty of various insolences; hundreds of them coming on the Island, have killed our cattle and carried them off to their own plantations to feast on them. They have also carried the meat to the Manhattaens and sold it there to the Dutch in place of venison; they have driven out of the pasture, through the swamps, our remaining and surviving cattle, over our standing corn, so that we have, this summer, been damaged to the extent of more than a thousand guilders. 'Tis a matter of small moment in their eyes to kill a good ox merely for the horns to carry powder in; sometimes they slay a man, sometimes a woman ; plunder the houses ; purloin our guns ; pry into our affairs; endeavor to drown the people; strip the children in the fields and woods; prowl abroad with masks or visors; slaughter our hogs, and when we demand satisfaction, challenge us to fight, boasting of their great number of men and guns. All this proceeds from the daily supply of powder, lead and muskets or guns, by the Monhaens1 and Dutch trade. So that if your Honors will not remedy this intolerable plague and that soon ; for we dread a heavier misfortune, namely, their barbarous or cruel insurrection ; we must and shall be obliged, though disinclined, to abandon our dwellings and your Honors' jurisdiction. And it sorely roils our English blood that we should be slaves and raise corn and cattle too, for Indian vagabonds; that our wives should be so terrified, our children ill-treated, our substance wasted and endangered, and that all this occurs whilst our hands are tied and those of our enemies are at liberty and strengthened by their daily supplies and stores. We trust your Honors will seriously consider that, in case we suffer wrong, the property of your own nation will, therefore, in like manner suffer, should this barbarous and inhuman race be encouraged and strengthened. We seek the welfare and prosperity of the Dutch; but it is not to be endured that they should obtain their incomes or profits in this way, to the ruin and destruction of themselves and us, and the extirpation of both our races. Wherefore the humble Petitioners pray us to request your Honors' attention, with all possible expedition, to the reformation of the aforesaid, if our lives are dear and precious to you, which, otherwise, will be cut short, yea, possibly before your Honors will hear again from us. Our Governor would most willingly redress these grave abuses, but he finds it to be a matter beyond his power, and one of great difficulty, as the madness is so general among traders. And whereas your Honors have been pleased to intimate in your letters that neither the Governor nor any other person should so trade on pain of your displeasure and indignation, we take the liberty to inform your Honors, inasmuch as dissatisfaction may arise from misunderstanding, that we have never accused our Governor in this matter; and we do not now accuse him, but, on the contrary, defend him before your Honors and say, that we hope and believe he would redress it were it in his power, approving the propositions and applications of our remaining and esteemed friends, who hold dear the public good. We have still a further request to make; viz': that your Honors would be pleased to send over some servant men, who are here as precious as gold both in regard to our work and to our protection, as matters stand at present or shall hereafter fare with us; on condition that your Honors will please to order us to be provided with goods on somewhat more reasonable terms, which could easily be done and the traders still make a good profit and gain ; for at present we are forced to buy supplies at excessive prices elsewhere, whenever liquors are all out and consumed in the Manhattans. We shall do our best to make due returns in produce, the proceeds of our servants' labor, viz', in corn, beef, pork, butter, tobacco, staves, or such like wares in exchange for such merchandise as we shall receive. We beg your Honors' pardon for having so long detained you, but thank you most sincerely for all received benefits; regarding the difficulties already experienced and still to be apprehended, we are necessitated to request your Honors' assistance together with the reformation thereof, if it possibly be in accordance with our request, which is the cause of our writing so much. Herewith we desist from troubling your Honors any further, but wishing you all honor and prosperity, and that the Father of Mercy may be pleased to show mercy to you who are so good to his people. Signed : Your Honors' servants in all dutifulness and good opportunity.
Heemstede, September 25th, 1651, New Style.
This is a true copy, agreeing with the original, which I, John Moore, Minister of the church of Heemstede, do attest.
On the reverse follows:
For the Honble Messrs, the Directors of the West India Company, Chamber at Amsterdam.
1655/56 John Moore had been absent from Newtown for some time prior to January 15. On that date the Dutch Council responded to a petition concerning his absence by issuing an "order on a petition of the clergy against conventicles and unqualified preachers, and for a proper person to give lectures in Middelburgh (Newtown) L.I." [18] "Jan. 15 Petition. Rev. Messrs. Megapolensis and Drisius above referred to; request a person be appointed to supply the vacancy caused by the absence of rev. Mr. Moore." [19]
1656 A letter, dated November 17, offering John Moore a position as a preacher in Norfolk, Virginia, was recorded in the Norfolk court records. [20]
17 Nov. 1656. Copie of A Letter sent to Mr. Moore a minister in New England.

1656/57 "Jan. 22. Petition. John Burroughs and other inhabitants of Middleborough, L.I., complaining the the minister's house built by the town, hath been given to rev. Mr. Moore as his property." [21] "Jan. 15 Summons. Magistrates of the above town to appear at Fort Amsterdam and answer said complaint." [22]
1657 On 5 August, Megapolensis and Drisius, reporting to the Clasis of Amsterdam, wrote, [23] [24] [25]
At Middleburgh, alias Newtown, they are mostly Independents and have a man, called Joanne Moor [John Moore] of the same way of thinking, who preaches there, but does not serve the sacraments. He says, he was licensed in New England to preach, but not authorized to administer the sacraments. He has thus continued for some years.
1657 John Moore died in September or October in Newtown on Long Island.
1657 On 25 October, in a report on the condition of churches in New Amsterdam, Megapolensis and Drisius wrote, [26] [27]
We are at this time in great want of English ministers. It is more than two years since Mr. Doughty, of Flushing which is a town here, went to Virginia, where he is now a preacher. He left because he was not well supported. On Oct. 13, Mr. Moore, of Middleburgh, which is another town here, died of a pestilence disease, which prevailed in several of of our English towns, and in New England. He left a widow with seven or eight children. A year before, being dissatisfied with the meagre and irregular payments from his hearers, he went to Barbadoes, to seek another place.
1657/8 "Feb. 5. Proceedings. For the recovery of two notes of hand; one signed by Nathaniel Hazard, and the other by rev. John Moore, 'who died last September,' both signatures proved to be forgeries." [28] This attempt to defraud the family of John Moore after his death is described in the Dutch Court, [29] [30]
5th Febr 1658 Fort Amsterdam in N. Netherlands George Doed : for John Marchall (for the recovery of a note of hand) by a letter dated 15th Oct. 1657 signed John Marchall and in the margin Richard Mils Eduart Weeden.
Also the aforesaid John Marchall demanded by said power of Attoney from Mr. More who died in September last 150 guilders on an obligation dated 10 Sept. 1656 signed John More and as witnesses Nathaniel Hazard & John Rodes.
Appeared Franceys Doughty hafing married the widow of Mr. More who showed the signature of Mr. More which resembles in no way the signature under the said note of hand and declared therefore the said note to be false; of the witnesses whose hands are signed to the aforesaid obligation the one is in Jamaica; appeared the other viz: Nathaniel Hazard and declared that the signature has been placed there in bad faith (fraudulently) as such an obligation was never transacted in his presence and was ready to confirm this declaration by oath.

Francis Doughty, son of the Rev. F. Doughty." [67]
In "Clement C. Moore and his Home," Pelletreau provides a biosketch of John Moore, [68]
The American ancestor of the Moore family was Rev. John Moore, who was born in England about 1620. He came to America and was living in Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1641. From there he moved to Southampton, Long Island. He had a "planting lot-- laid out for him in th at place, April 6, 1641, and May 30, 1644, he was one of the delegates to Hartford. He was one of the "freemen" in 1649. About 1651 he left Southampton, and on September 25 of that year we find him as minister at Hempstead. Mr. Moore died at Newtown, September 17, 1657. Rev.
