Note: John Moore may have Quaker roots, as did his wife Jean Thornburg. His father is also likely named John Moore, as Sr. and Jr. are both listed as adults in early (1778) Randolph County land records. Marriage record: Bondsman Thomas Clark, witness Thomas Henderson. Investigate as possible [grand?] parents John Moore and Mary Ratliff, whose daughter Sarah m. Thomas Lamb and died at Cane Creek (MM) 1791. Does Sarah have a brother who could be John's father? Investigate possible father John Moore, brother of Regulator Edward Moore. However, our John Moore's son Edward may be named after his maternal grandfather, Edward Thornburg. 1790 Census: Randolph Co., NC Males over 16: 2 Males under 16: 3 Females: 5 1800 Census: Randolph Co., NC Males 10-15: 1 Males 15-25: 1 Males 45+: 1 Females 10-15: 2 Females 15-25: 1 Females 26-45: 1 Females 45+: 1
