141. James Lent Moore7 (David6, David5, John4, Capt. Samuel3, Capt. Samuel2, Rev. John1) and Rachel Ann Ostrander (Jonathan Bailey m. Maria Brockway).

James Lent Moore7 at the time of his death was the oldest native resident of the old town of Newtown, as well as the oldest representative of the Moore family, whose history was coeval with that of the town. Mr. Moore was born on the farm bought of William Hallett, Sr., by Capt. Samuel Moore2 in 1684, near where the residence of Luke Kouwenhoven now stands, near Steinway village. In his youth, he attended the old Bowery Bay public school. This schoolhouse, like the old family homestead, long ago passed out of existence. In 1842, Mr. Moore went into business at 21 Fulton Street. He was one of the oldest business men in the city of Brooklyn and the oldest in his line of trade. His name was a synonym for strict honesty and upright dealings. Of sterling Christian character, and possessing a genial and hospitable nature, he had many friends. He was warden and vestryman of St. James's Church for many years.
