Notes
for HUGH MOORE:
The
military notes below may well be those of my HUGH MOORE but I have not
been able to prove that they are of my Hugh.
If the information is
about my Hugh then he would have been born abt. 1749 based on the age at
the time of the pension application.

I found
this copy of Hugh Moore’s marriage bond at the Botetourt County Court
House. It does show the original signatures of both Hugh Moore and
Hugh Allen. It appears that after Hugh More [sic] signed the bond
the quill had to be sharpened (maybe as a groom to be, he was a little
nervous and pressed down to hard?) before Hugh Allen could sign.


"Hugh
Moore, my great-grandfather, and Jimmie Moore came with their families
from Rockbridge County, Virginia. My grandmother was only four years old.
They settled at Georgetown and after awhile Hugh Moore and his family came
to the Big Bone, Boone County, Ky."

Hugh
Moore, was an early settler at Big Boone Spring, in the southern part of
Boone County, and did good service in the war of 1812.

Hugh
Moore has been sited as a well renowned soldier in the War of 1812. I have
not found any records that directly link our Hugh Moore. I did find
records for a Hugh Moore in Warren Co, KY but on closer inspection this
was not our Hugh Moore as 1818 he married a woman by the name of Polly
Johnson.
At the
Virginia State Library I found a list of men serving under Capt. John
Murray and there on this list is a Hugh Moore having served 103 days. The
document is almost illegible but it looks like it contains entries
containing the date and amount paid.

1830.
