GREGG – Descendants of Nutfield Settler James Gregg

Captain James Gregg, buried 1758
at the Forest Hill Cemetery, Derry, New Hampshire

James Gregg was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, and emigrated to Ireland with his parents around 1670.  James trained as a tailor’s apprentice in Scotland. Sometime later he removed to Northern Ireland and opened a linen draper business. He was married to Janet Cargill and had five children. He came with Rev. McGregor from Northern Ireland to New England in 1718 and was one of the first 16 men to settle Nutfield (now the towns of Derry, Londonderry and Windham in New Hampshire).  He was made captain of the militia and commanded the first soldiers in Nutfield.  James Gregg also built the first grist mill in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Janet Cargill, his wife, was the sister of David Cargill, who also came to Londonderry, where he died 3 March 1734.   Her sister Annis Cargill married James McKeen, and another sister married Rev. James MacGregor.

James Gregg died on 10 March 1758 and is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in (what is now) East Derry, New Hampshire.  His wife died on 28 December 1764 and is buried near him.   His descendants scatted nearby to New Boston, Windham, Peterborough, Vermont, New York, and Nova Scotia.

Children:

      1.       William, born about 1695 and married Janet Rankin and had six children:  Mary born 1 March 1726 and died 3 November 1730; James baptized 15 June 1726 and married Sarah Leslie and died 1777 in Oneida, New York;  Janet born 3 November 1730; Naomi born 1 Mach 1727/8; Agnes born 1734; and Frances born 1736.

      2.       Captain John, born about 1702 and married Agnes Rankin and had ten children: Hugh born 9 December 1725 and married Sarah Leslie; James born 9 December 1725 and married Mary McCurdy; John born 7 May 1728 and married Mary Elizabeth Gregg; William born 23 October 1730 married Barbara Aiken;  George born 1735 and died 16 September 1815; Major Samuel born 17 April 1739 and married Agnes Smiley;  Major Joseph born 10 December 1741 and married Susannah Aiken; Benjamin born 10 December 1743 and married Lettice Aiken; and twin daughters Elizabeth (married John Wilson) and Janet (married William Miltimore) born 27 November 1732.

      3.       Lieutenant Samuel, born about 1704 married Mary Moor and had eight children – James born 1 February 1732/3; John, Samuel, David, Margaret (married Robert Hogg), Mary, Agnes, and Elizabeth.

      4.       Elizabeth,  born 1707 and married James Moor and had children- Captain William born 1733 and married Martha Mack; Samson born 1730 and died 1782 at Salters Head, Colchester, Nova Scotia; Janet born 11 May 1739;  Sarah born 3 April 1740; Robert born 10 July 1745 and died 14 February 1826 in Goffstown; Hugh; Mary born 8 March 1743 and Elizabeth born 2 February 1741.

      5.       Thomas, born 1708 and married Ann Leslie and then married Barbara Choate and removed to Vermont, and died 31 Jan 1789 in Bradford, Orange County, Vermont.

Note:  There was another unrelated family headed by David Gregg in Nutfield.  He married Mary Evans and came to Windham in November 1722.  Children: William (married Elizabeth Kyle), David (went to sea at age 15 and returned at age 30, married a Miss Clyde and lived in Windham)

Tombstone Tuesday ~ John and Margaret Moor, buried in Bedford, New Hampshire

In memory of                                  In memory of

Lieut. John Moor                         Mrs. Margaret Moor

of his age.                                                    

John Moor, a Scots Irish immigrant, was born about 1705, and died 25 September 1779 in Bedford, New Hampshire;  he married Margaret Jack in 1732 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Presbyterian Church.  They lived in Chelsea, Massachusetts where three children were born.  The fourth child was born in Bedford, New Hampshire.  Their farm was on the part of River Road that became Manchester. They had eight children (one not listed in the History of Bedford): 

1.       John, Jr. born in Chelsea, June 1734 m. Mary McKean

2.       Jennet, born in Boston, 2 January 1736

3.       James, born in Chelsea, 29 July 1739

4.       Daniel, born in Bedford, 2 March 1742

5.       David, born in Bedford, 24 November 1745

6.       Mary, born in Bedford, 4 February 1748

7.       William, born in Bedford, 16 April 1752

Margaret probably remarried after John Moor's death, and is probably buried with her second husband.  However, I have no record of a second marriage.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Mrs. Hannah Moore, and her grandson Albert

These tombstones were photographed at the Cemetery on the Plain in Windham, New Hampshire

Albert Son of

Mr. Silas &

Mrs. Hannah Moor

Who died

Jan. 18, 1828

Aged 6 months

[Right]

IN

Memory of

MISS HANNAH MOOR

Died Oct. 10, 1832

AEt. 65

According to the website Windham, NH History by Derek Saffie, this is the grave of Mrs. Hannah Moor, even though the stone is carved with the word MISS.   She was the wife of Silas Moor Garland, who was granted a name change on 18 June 1828 to change his name to Silas Moor.  He states that Silas and Hannah Moor had “at least one child, Deacon Silas Moore”.  Saffie also proposes that the “Jeremiah Garland” and “Martha Garland” listed with the name change to Moor are probably two more children. [ see the blog page for an image of a document signed "Silas Moor Garlin"]

According to Leonard A. Morrison’s History of Windham in New Hampshire, page 652, this Hannah Moore who died in 1832 is Deacon Silas Moor’s mother, and he was grandson of Capt. William Moor, Revolutionary War veteran of the Battle of Bunker Hill.  Morrison states that Deacon Silas Moor married Hannah Hill in 1818 “and now (1882)… res. In Chicago, Illinois”.  They had five children listed in this book, and little Albert was born on 4 July 1827, and died 15 January 1828. 

There is a biography book found at the World Cat website Jeremiah Moore, son of Hannah Hills and Silas Moore, born 1823 at Windham, New Hampshire and died 1869 at Morley, Missouri, by author William Sanford Hills (a cousin?) and published at an unknown year.   This book probably answers the mystery of the name changes? 

Genealogy:

Generation 1:  Charter James Moore, immigrant from Northern Ireland; married Elizabeth Gregg, daughter of Charter James Gregg.

Generation 2:  Capt. William Moore, born 1733 and died 13 Feb 1812; married Martha Mack, daughter of John Mack and Isabella Brown of Londonderry, Northern Ireland.  She was born 1734 and died 21 June 1808.

Generation 3:  Miss Hannah Moor, born about 1767, died 1832 (see gravestone above)

Generation 4:  Deacon Silas Moore, born 9 June 1793 in Windham; married Hannah Hills on 30 December 1818.  She was born 20 March 1800. 

Generation 5:  Albert Moor, the infant (see gravestone above)

It is curious that Deacon Silas Moore’s mother is listed as MISS Moor.  It is also curious that the husband changed his name from GARLAND to MOOR.    Was she an unwed mother with GARLAND children who took her maiden name? Divorced from the man named GARLAND and her name reverted back to “Miss Moor”? Was the "Silas Moor" in the name change document her husband or her son?

clergymen, deacons and elders in New England

It is interesting that Mrs. Moor's death information is not included, nor is the phrase "My glass is run" completed on her side of this double tombstone. Perhaps she remarried and is buried with husband number two?

William Moor was born about 1717 in Antrim, Northern Ireland and died 17 February 1789 in Bedford, New Hampshire. He was the son of John Moor and Jennett who came from Ulster to Londonderry, New Hampshire in 1724 with their two sons, Samuel and William.  They had two more sons, Robert and Daniel, born in Londonderry.   William and Daniel were two of the petitioners for the incorporation of the town of Bedford on 10 May 1750.   

William Moor married Mary (Molly) Jack, and he was also a Captain during the Revolutionary War.  William and Molly had seven children:  Nancy, b. 1740 in Londonderry; Jenet, b. 1744 in Londonderry; Molly b. Londonderry date unknown; John, b. 1746 in Bedford; Elizabeth, b. 1750 in Bedford; James, b. 1754 in Bedford; William, b. 1760 in Bedford.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Henry Moor, M. A., d. 1798 Londonderry, New Hampshire

This tombstone was photographed at the Valley Cemetery in Londonderry, New Hampshire

Henry Moor, M. A. 

departed this life Feb 14, 1798 

AEtat 34

A lecture silent, but of sovereign power

To vice, confusion; and to virtue, peace

Virtue alone has majesty in death

Henry Moor was the son of William Moor and Martha Mack of Londonderry.  He graduated from Phillips Andover Academy in 1787, and from Dartmouth College in 1793.  He was the first preceptor of Groton Academy (now known as the Lawrence Academy at Groton) from 1793 – 1796 for a salary of $745.83.   Following his brief teaching career Henry Moor was a merchant in Londonderry, and died unmarried at age 34. Obviously, he must have been a Freemason.

The St. Marks Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons is located at 58 Broadway in Derry, New Hampshire. According to their website, they were granted their charter in 1826, and met above James Thom’s grocery store in East Derry, which at that time was still Londonderry.  This is too late to have been the lodge where Henry Moor belonged. I wondered where he became a Freemason?

The New England Historic Genealogical Society’s subscription website www.americanancestors.org has a data base of Massachusetts membership cards from 1733 – 1990.  I didn't find Henry Moor listed there.

According to the website of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, the first meeting of New Hampshire Freemasons was on 8 July 1789 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to create a Grand Lodge for the state.  Many local lodges were involved in this decision, so I’m sure that there must have been a lodge near Londonderry, or perhaps near Dartmouth College, where he became a member.   For example, St. John’s Lodge, No. 1 in Portsmouth was gathered in 1736, one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in the USA.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Richard More, the Mayflower Bastard, Salem, Massachusetts

also known as the Charter Street Cemetery

[* this latin translates to "Today me, tomorrow you"]

Richard More is one of the four More children who were put out to Mayflower passengers in 1620 as servants.  All the children were less than seven years old, and when Richard was placed into the custody of the Brewster family, he was about five years old.  He was the only one of the four siblings to survive the first winter in the New World.  This was the result of a custody battle between his parents.  His father accused his mother of adultery, and none of the children were his.  But since he was legally their parent he turned them over to Mayflower passengers, with the promise that they would receive land in Plymouth Colony.

The story of Richard More and his siblings was told very admirably in the book The Mayflower Bastard, by David Lindsay, St. Martin's Press, New York, 2002.  It is a true soap opera of a story, and for all the interesting details you should read the book.  When Richard was of age he became the apprentice to Isaac Allerton, another Mayflower passenger and my 11 x great grandfather.  Allerton lived in Salem and Marblehead after he was thrown out of Plymouth (another soap opera).  Allerton was a business man who returned to England many times during his lifetime.

Richard Moore, married three times. His first wife was Christian Hunter in 1636, my 10x great aunt.  She was daughter of my 11 x great grandparents, of unknown names, and sister of my 10x great grandmother, Elizabeth Hunter (abt 1614 - 1689) who married Humphrey Woodbury (1609 - 1689) of Beverly, Massachusetts.  His second wife was a bigamous relationship in England, while he was traveling abroad, and this third wife was from Salem.  The first and third wife are buried in Salem.  I told you it was quite a soap opera!

The last two lines on Richard More's tombstone were added in the early 20th century.  The year 1692 was apparently a guess, and the words "A Mayflower Pilgrim" are not original. I found an article in the Greenfield, Massachusetts newspaper Greenfield Gazette, 18 December 1920, page 7 that describes his tombstone without the last two lines. This article was printed on the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower.  Perhaps that anniversary prompted someone to alter Richard More's stone? That same year, the Boston Globe reported on 24 October 1920 that the Mayflower Society was adding the name of the boy passenger, Richard More, to the list of approved passengers, and his descendants would be eligible for membership.

Richard More is thought to be the last male living passenger of the Mayflower.  His gravestone is also thought to be the only gravestone in it's original spot (never moved) and contemporary to the time of death (not placed by descendants or a family association years later).  It has been encased in concrete as a move towards preservation.  Richard More's aristocratic parents left him a legacy of royal ancestors, including William the Conqueror, Henry I, Henry II, King John, Henry III, Edward I, Edward II, Edward III and many members of the nobility.  Both his parents were Mores.  Most of his descendants eligible for membership in the Mayflower society are through is daughter Susanna, who married Samuel Dutch.

Genealogy:

Amanuensis Monday ~ A Letter to Hawaii, 1849

Sarah Ann Moore

Boston

Novr. 1849

Mr. John O. Dominis

Honolulu

Sandwich Islands

----------------

Boston, Novr. 1849

My Dear Cousin

Not wishing to lose the correspondence

of so “nice a young man” as yourself – I hasten to

improve this opportunity of answering your kind

letter, which owing to the press of – not business

but domestic cares have been suffered to remain

unanswered for a while.  The last I heard of

you, was that you was making preparations

to go to San Francisco.  I understand since

that you have returned to the Islands.  Thinking

probably that there is “no place like home”

The next time you start I hope you will be

bound towards this part of the world.  It

would do good to our eyes to see you.  I im-

agine you to be grown ever so tall and handsome

don’t be flattered.  Do send us a daguerreotype

of yourself- and I will hang it in my best

parlor.  You probably will wish to know how

many little responsibilities I have, to keep me

so much engaged all the time.  They number

three, their names are Sarah Ann, Ella Frances and

Helen Augusta, perfect beauties of course.  Father

and Augustus are in business together, the

dying business.  They have a great deal of

work more than they can cleverly manage.

----------------

They have two Dye Houses and two offices.

The idea was suggested at the time, the Cochituate

Water was introduced into the city- and being

the first and only thing of the kind here- they

have an abundance to do.  The girls Annie and

Lizzie, and Charlotte are still boarding at Fathers

and are waiting anxiously to hear which way

their Father has decided upon sending for them

or having them remain where they are.  A and E.

have finished their education and left school

quite young ladies I assure you.  I long to hear

how you made out with that charming young lady

Miss Mott that you wrote of.  Did she refuse or

accept if the former don’t lay it to heart mustn’t

for there is some beautiful girls in these parts

which are patiently waiting for offers and they

are ready and willing to accept.  But seriously

Time travels fast and those most beautiful

are the soonest to fade.  I must not forget to tell

you of the death of our Cousin Lawrence Younger

a young man of great promise.  He died in

the Hospital of this City of hip complaint.  He has been

wasting away for a long time.  And Aunt Agnes has

also lost a little boy – he died with the summer

complaint which has been quite prevalent here this

past summer.  Grandfather was quite sick with the

same, but has recovered and takes his usual

walks occasionally from Boston to South Boston. But

I must now close, by hoping to hear from you soon

---------------------

And don’t forget the daguerreotype.  Give my love

 to your Mother.  I will endeavor to write to her

soon.  Augs and myself join in wishing to be

remembered to all.

Your affectionate Cousin

Sara Ann Moore

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This letter was full of new information for me.  The recipient of this letter was John Dominis, about 17 years old, from his first cousin, Sarah Ann (Snelling) Moore of Boston.    First of all, John's cousin Sarah mentions the courtship incident with Charlotte Mott I blogged about previously at this link. http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2011/07/serendipity-week-3-letter-between-two.html   No, he didn't marry "that charming young lady Miss Mott" but in 1862 he married Lydia Paki, the future Queen Lili'uokalani.  

Sarah mentions her own daughters, but not her sons. This may have been a sensitive subject since in September 1849 she lost two of her little boys.  In fact by December Sarah herself will be dead at age 31, and her little daughter Ella will be dead the following year.   She mentions the death of a cousin, Lawrence Younger, which made me jump up and down with excitement.  My 4x great grandmother was her aunt, Catherine (Jones) Younger.  I found Lawrence's death record in Boston, age 25, on 23 October 1849, of an abcess (a hip complaint "wasting away for a long time" in the letter).  Lawrence was the brother of my 3x great grandmother, Mary Esther (Younger) Emerson.  I didn't know he existed until I read this letter. 

The grandfather Sarah mentions, who was ill, is Owen Jones, who died 22 April 1850, just a few months after this letter was mailed to Hawaii.  And what was a "summer complaint"?  

The historical part of this letter was the mention of the Cochituate Aqueduct which brought water to Boston between 1848 to 1951.  It must have been brand new when the letter was written.  

Although I was able to answer a few genealogy questions with this letter, I found another mystery.  I don't know the three young ladies, Annie, Lizzie and Charlotte, and I searched through the family tree for three sisters with these names.  I wasn't able to find who they are.  They were living with Sarah's father,  Enoch Howes Snelling.  I also don't know the child lost by my great aunt Agnes (Jones) Hart, but he must have died before the letter was written.  I haven't found this Hart child in the Boston records.
