Were you able to find the bounty land warrants? I love that your ancestral home is a museum with a plaque and all. Great post, Bill! Thank you for continuing to share your story with all of us.
I found a number of bounty warrants for a Philip Moore. I can’t say with certainty which Philip Moore they were granted to. There are a few non-related persons with that name.
Wow! They weren’t married very long. He married her after his first wife passed. They had one son and he died a year later. Have to love her name. Apparently, she went by “Mitty.”
Oh, damn, Bill, you really are a cousin! Philip Moore, (1755-1823) is, according to FamilySearch, the husband of my 4C6R. Nearest common cousin (for his wife, Submit Mehitable Wait,) was Smith & Hewitt, both first generation immigrants. 😌
What a fantastic home. I'm so glad it has survived and is being cared for.
