Notes - He was son of William and Dorothy (Dixon) Moore who lived below Sentry Hill. Particulars of his captivity are wanting, but provisions for his share of his father’s estate in 1694 were made for his benefit, if he should return to demand it. He was still in Canada in 1711 and how much longer is unknown, or what became of him.
