Marker on the grave is not the original, but a replacement marker added over 150 years after her death!
First wife of Captain William Moore..mother of Samuel T Moore. daughter of Rev War Soldier Richard Thompson and his wife Margaret.
Family "tradition" says she was half Indian and daughter of Elizabeth (Richard Thompson's common law Indian wife) and not Margaret. However, DNA test by several direct family members find "NO" American Indian ancestry markers in their DNA! Thus, her mother is most likely Margaret and not Elizabeth.
Exact death date is not know. However, her youngest child was born in 1822 and her spouse remarried on 2 May 1824. So, her death would be between 1822 and 1824.
