Chapter IX "Orange in the Revolution" "Finally into the world famous Convention of 1776, in which James Madison Jr and William Moore were the delegates from the County". Margaret, do you realize how important that is? James Madison IV became the 4th President of the United States, and the history about him says https://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/james-madison "In 1776, he represented Orange County at the Virginia Constitution Convention to organize a new state government no longer under British rule". According to the History of Orange County book, William Moore was the other one appointed to this position, and in 1776 Monongalia County, (W) VA was formed and William Moore was in Monongalia, VA at that time and had 400 acres in that new county.

Page 40 "In 1832 a petition was signed asking to organize a lottery to raise $5000 to pave roads in Courthouse Village" James B Moore was one of the signers.

We see from the history of Monongalia County, VA (WV) that it was formed in 1776. In that same year William Moore claimed his 400 acres. This was 26 years before he died. After that we see in books that Daniel Moore was living in Monongalia County, VA (WV) which later became Barbour County, WV, Sadly all legal records were destroyed by fire in 1799 (3 years before William Moore died and 23 years after it was formed. William Moore claimed 400 acres in Monongalia County and said he settled in 1776. Daniel is actually living on land after 1787 (11 years later). He was over 45 in the 1810 census (born abt 1765) abt 22 when he first came to that part of VA (WV). William (1740-1802) would have been 30 in 1776 (Daniel would have been abt 11). Mary (1740-1779) would have been abt 25 when Daniel was born. She died in 1779 (Daniel would have been abt 14 years old. Daniel came to WV in 1787 (after his mom's death). He would have been abt 22 years old.

Journal of The Allegheny Regional Ancestors Volume 4, Issue 1 - Spring, 1995 The Moore's of Barbour County, West Virginia By Jeff Harris. P.O. Box 160, Kerens. WV 26276, we learn more: Evidence suggest that there was a William Moore in this area at that general time frame. Since no record of marriage can be found by this author for Daniel and Deborah (Poling) Moore it is my assumption that they were married in Monongahela Co. (W)VA since the county clerks office along with all of the personal records burned in 1799. The first written account of Daniel on Moore's run in Barbour Co. (W)VA is on 27 Apr 1807 when Daniel purchased 200 acres of land from the Rev. Phineas Wells. This land was situated between Rev. Wells and Rev. Simeon Harris. The deed states it to be on Glady Creek and Dividing Run. Daniel and Deborah's list of children would suggest that Daniel's father's name would have been William and his mother's name to be Mary and that he had a brother Joseph. Their first child was named Martin which was Deborah's father's name and the next was William. The next was named for Daniel, Daniel Moore, Jr., and then Richard, and then Rachel which was Deborah's mother's name and then Mary which would indicate Daniel's mother's name.
