improvements made by Samuel Kelly, son James/ son Martin Glenn to

satisfy debt due heirs of Alex Doughlas dec'd. To Wm. Glenn, Hugh

Glenn: all children except Jean Glenn whose share is allowed the

heirs of Alex Douglas. Granddaughter Betsey Burnsides. Will written

Sept.15, 1799 Exec: James McCormack and son James
Wits: David Elliot, Joseph Glenn, Lavis/Travis? Allen Probated Oct. 1799

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 Descendants of
