John Jackson Moore

Notes:

In 1801, John Moore or "Roan" bought from David Singleton a 200 acre tract of land for 320 ?. This land was on the Brushy Creek waters of First Broad River. Gabriel Washburn and John Washburn witnessed the deed.

According to his Revolutionary War Pension Application date 11 November 1833 in York County, South Carolina, he stated that he was drafted and served 3 months under the command of Captain Dillard and Captain Fletcher. He was living in Orange County, North Carolina at the time of his draft. He states that he participated in Gate's Defeat near Camden. He recalled the names of Major Nolls, General Ramsey and General Gates as some of the officers he served under. He estimated his draft date as the last of May or first of June, 1778. He says that after Gate's Defeat, he returned to Orange County and there was informed by a General Butler that he could finish out his service time with Captain Jones of the North Carolina Cavalry. This may be his Uncle John "Jack" Jones. William McSwain and Precilla Washburn testified on his behalf as well as Rev. Philip Ramsaur and Joseph Cash.
