NOTE: His death in Newtown, Long Island today is the Elmhurst neighborhood in Queens County, New York, not Newtown in Suffolk County.

John Moore was not born in Suffolk County. He, his parents and grandparents lived in Newtown, Long Island, which today is part of Queens Borough, New York City. I find no written record of where he was born, but the family never lived in Suffolk County.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown,_New_York:
Newtown, New York may refer to:

An old name for Elmira, New York, location of the Battle of Newtown, the only major battle of the Sullivan Expedition during the American Revolutionary War.
An old name for the neighborhood of Elmhurst in the borough of Queens in New York City
A former town in Queens County, New York, including the areas of Elmhurst, Woodside, and adjacent neighborhoods
A location on the Cattaraugus Reservation, Erie County, New York

Rev. John Moore of Newtown, Long Island , and some of his descendants, by James W. Moore, 1903, pages 55 & 59, says of this John's father:

36. Captain Samuel3, b. Newtown, L. I., m. Apr. 1, 1705, Charity Hallett3, [L. I. = Long Island]

49. John4, b. Dec. 23, 1721, m. Patience Moore4 (Joseph3 m. Sarah Sackett, Capt. Samuel2, Rev. John1), b. Feb. 5, 1722 ; he d. March 7, 1806, aet. 84. [91]. [347]

. . .

49. John Moore4 (Capt. Samuel3, Capt. Samuel2, Rev. John1) and Patience Moore4 (Joseph3, m. Sarah Sackett, Capt. Samuel2, Rev. John1).

The property of John Moore4 is described under Capt. Samuel Moore2. [4] For the connections of Patience Moore, see [347] , [91].

John Moore4 and Patience Moore4 had

91. Joseph5, b. February 12, 1750, m. Sarah Moore5 (Benjamin4, of Trenton, m. Mary Hart, Joseph3, Capt. Samuel2, Rev. John1), d. May 9, i8i5. [53], [95], [461]

92. Augustine5, b. April 9, 1752, Newtown, L. I., d. November 23, 1769.

93. David5, b. September 10, 1756, Newtown, L. I., m. May 24, 17S0, Jemima Hallett5 (Capt. Samuel4, Joseph3, Capt. William2, William1), d. June 20, 1845, aet. 56 ; he d. January 12, 1823, aet. 66 ; both are buried in the Moore private graveyard at Newtown, L. I. [104]

94. Jemima5, b. June 21, 1763, m. December 11, 1780, (L), Jesse Fish.

So, we have evidence that John's father and some of his children were b. in Newtown. In the Rev. Moore genealogy, it also says

4. Captain Samuel Moore2 (Rev. John1) and Mary Reed2
(Thomas1 m. Elizabeth, who after his death m. John Burroughs1).

Newtown awarded the descendants of Rev. John Moore eighty acres of land, thirty years after his death, for his interest in the purchase of Newtown from the Indians. Captain Samuel2 became a grantee of land as early as 1662.Later he purchased an adjacent tract which had belonged to his father. Benjamin3, his son, subsequently owned it. It then passed to John4, and then to Daniel Sackett5 This property in 1852 was included in the premises of John Jacob Moore6 (Daniel Sackett5, John4, Benjamin3, Captain Samuel2, Rev. John1), and still remains in the family, occupied by Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry, the daughter of John Jacob6. Part of the present house was probably built shortly after 1662. The "new house" was built in 1776, and altered about 1857. Additions were made in 1872 and 1876. During the Revolution, General Howe had his headquarters here, and the Duke of Clarence, afterward William IV. of England, was a guest. A celebrated box hedge, a part of which still remains, was a feature of the place. The Newtown "pippin," a noted apple, was first grown on this property.

Further evidence that this Newtown was in Queens is that Grand Av-Newtown station is in Elmhurst, a neighborhood of Queens.
