I'm confused because this George used to be a brother of Richard who is now connected as his father. George's profile shows his birth as 1649 and his 'father' Richard shows a birthdate of abt. 1650. So that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for any clarification and/or correction.

Also, with the connections as they are now, George's brother John is showing born abt. 1680 and his brother Nicholas 1712. That's a large spread of time for their mother to have been having children from 1649 to 1712.

Hi Debbie Gambrell

Yes, I see issues, and will need help to get his tree more correct.

See https://www.scribd.com/doc/31681229/Moore-Williams which doesn’t name parents but comes close:

A settled career in Isle of Wight probably began for George Moore when his purported brother-in-law Robert Flake conveyed to George Moore land at Blackwater from Flake’s 2,700-acre patent on 20 August 1666 (Boddie, Seventeenth Century, p. 558). Flake and wife Katherine deeded George Moore additional land on 18 October 1669 (Isle of Wight Wills and Deeds, 1662-1715, Vol. I, p. 201).

George Moore, “age 78 years,” made his will 30 November 1710; recorded 24 January 1714. He had a codicil added prior to his death. See Chapman, Isle of Wight Wills, p. 54. He named no male heirs.


So disconnecting George Moore, of Isle of Wight as son of Richard Moore & Elizabeth Moore and adding Katherine (Moore) Flake as sister.

Here are more notes. I’m not quite clear but I’ll get there.

George Moore (ca 1634 – 1714) |his parents/ & Jane Barcroft (ca 1641 – ), daughter of Charles Barcroft (ca 1610 – 1666) & Maudlin [relict] of Isle of Wight County, Virginia

George Moore married Jane, daughter of Charles Barcroft. This George Moore was the brother of Thomas Moore 1643 – 1696 married ca 1665 Elizabeth [widow of Samuel Eldridge]. They probably also had a sister.

From Dr. Barry Hayes* “The circumstantial evidence is strong that Mrs. Priscilla Champion was…. a sister of the proved brothers a.Thomas Moore and b. George Moore…… e. –?– Moore and his wife Mrs. Anne Rogers Moore Baron Matthews Davis, whose only Moore son was yet another John Moore, f. Elizabeth Moore who married 1st Thomas Barlow and 2nd William Baldwin, and g. Katherine Moore who married 1st unknown and 2nd Robert Flake.”
