NOTE: Although Ralph
Hudspeth Jr., in his will
dated June 11th 1776 names
a daughter Margaret Moore,
there is a possibility
according to Louise
Hudspeth, a Moore
researcher, that the above
Margaret named in William
Moore's Will which was
written Sept 15 1799,
Madison Co KY, is not the
Margaret Moore named in
Ralph's Will.
Moore Researchers believe
that the Margaret who was
named in William Moore's
will was Margaret Wright
daughter of James Wright.
It is believed that
William Moore and Margaret
Wright both born in PA
married 1 Jun 1761 in
Paxtang Presbyterian
Church, Dauphin Co, PA.
Although its not exactly
clear when this PA family
made their way to KY,
birth places and dates
given show perhaps they
were in KY as early as
1769
when the birth of
Anna Moore is shown as
being in Madison Co KY.
It is also noted : "We do
not know exactly when William and Margaret
(Wright)
Moore moved to Kentucky but they
received a Virginia Land Grant in 1780 for
400 acres in Lincoln Co.,
KY. The tax records of Madison
County show that
they were living on a farm
near Paint Lick Creek and Silver Creek
which they
bought and paid taxes in May of
1790" (From Ancestors and
