The paternal ancestors of Mr. Moore came to America from Dalkeith, Scotland, the first settler being Samuel Moore, who lived in New Jersey as early as 1760. Evidence is given that the family later moved across the line to Pennsylvania, as family records show that in 1814, David Moore, son of Samuel, moved to Ross County, Ohio, from Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The Moores came to Sandusky County in 1818 and David Moore built a log cabin on the west side of the Sandusky River, about half a mile southwest of the village of Ballville. He was one of the enterprising men of the time and place, for he built a saw-mill and also a grist-mill. both very necessary conveniences for the pioneers. His death was caused by falling in his mill, December 24, 1829. He had married Elizabeth Davis, who died July 1, 1826. Their children were George, James, John, Mrs. Eliza Justice, and Mrs. Sarah Fields. All came to live in Sandusky County, but George subsequently returned to Ross County, where he died in 1850.

CHICAGO 1909: "Mr. Moore was born in Huntington County, Pennsylvania, in 1808. When- 6 years old his parents moved to Ross County. In about 1820 they came to this county. It must have been before '26 for on old birch tree opposite his house in Ballville, his name can be, or could have been not long ago seen, cut in 1826. In 1836 he was married to Miss Eliza Rutter of Ross County. Mr. Moore had lived on the same spot for over fifty years. He served the county nine years as a justice of the peace, and for more than forty years had been school director. It is rather a singular fact that both Mr. Moore’s father and brother were killed in their mills at Ballville.
