Notes

  • Note*: "The most prominent of the four Moore sons, Samuel Moore served as Constable, Assessor, Commissioner of the Town Court, Supervisor, Justice, and on several important commissioners. He also served as Lieutenant and Captain of the Newtown militia. In 1678 he served on the jury and also was appointed one of the three guardians for John Burroughs. He appeared on the Rate Lists for 1666, 1667, 1675 and 1683 and with a family of nine in the 1698 census.
    In 1670 he and Francis Doughty witnessed the will of John Stevenson of Newtown; in 1678 he was the executor of the will of Elizabeth (Pettit) (Reed) Burroughs, his wife's mother; and in 1682 he was an executor of the will of William Osbourne of Gravesend (with his brother Gershom Moore). He died suddenly, 25 July 1717, before he could sign his will. His widow died 14 May 1738, aged 87 years."
