William Moore

William Moore was probably born in England, and died in Ipswich, Massachusetts on 21 May 1671. We do not know the name of his wife, but assume she died before 1671 as she is not named in William's will.

William shared in the Exeter, NH, divisions of land in 1639, and signed various petitions in 1643 and 1645. He was a selectman in 1647, 1654, and 1658. He did jury duty in 1654 and, during this year, was relieved from military training, paying five shillings. In 1664, he was excused from all training. William moved to Ipswich sometime later where he made his will in which all his children were named.

William Moore and his wife had at least five children, places and dates of birth unknown:

  • William, b. about 1631-1634; m. Mary Wiggin, daughter of Thomas Wiggin.
  • Ruth, m. Henry Robie, son of Thomas Robie.
  • Mary, b. about 1638; m. Robert Powell.
  • Elizabeth, m. John Williams.
  • Thomas.
