Personal Facts and Details

	Events of close relatives
Birth	circa 1769 Virginia, USA
Marriage	Martha Jane WOOD - 2 February 1795 ‎(Age 26)‎ Botetourt County, Virginia, USA Note: Joseph and Amanda were first cousins. Consent, Joseph Wood; witnesses, William Swetman and Carlos Wood ‎[her brother]‎; minister Edward Mitchell ‎(Methodist)‎.
Biographical Notes	Note: "I know nothing of Thomas Moore's life before his marriage to Martha Wood in 1795. In 1802, Joseph and Martha sold 150 acres of their land to their son-in-law Thomas for £400. Thomas and Martha appear in the Botetourt census of 1820, 1830, 1840 and 1850." "The 1850 census shows Thomas ‎(80 years)‎, Martha ‎(75 years)‎ and unmarried Clarinda ‎(50)‎ living together. Thomas died the next year. His will, written in 1849, left his property, including two slaves, to his wife Martha during her lifetime; thereafter it was to be divided into sixths, five of these given to his children Clarinda, John Wood, Joseph, Sarah, and Mary Ann. The sixth was allotted to the heirs of his deceased daughter Elizabeth." When and where Martha died is unclear. Some say that she moved to Randolph County with children after Joseph's death and is buried there. It is more likely that she died in Botetourt Co. She must have died soon after her husband, because the property that was hers for her lifetime began to be liquidated in 1852.
