My immigrant ancestor was William MOORE, b Jan 1743 in Co Cavan, IRL, md
in 1768 to Jane DOWLES, b Sep 1745 in Co Leitrim. William d in
1808 and Jane in 1828, both in Washington Co MD. Their children, all b
in Co Cavan were: George, Sarah, Edward, William, Katherine, Margaret,
William (2), Jane, Elizabeth, Francis (my ancestor, b 1787), and
Katherine (2).
Francis md in 1818 in Marshall Co (W)VA, Anna WARD. They settled in Des
Moines Co IA, where the family stayed for several generations, and where
my maternal gm, Clara Belle Moore was b in 1869.
Any County Cavan Connections?
