Goose Creek A Definitive History was authored by Michael J. Heitzler in 2005. It was published by the History Press in Charleston, South Carolina. On page 67, "James Moore was touted as the son of Roger Moore, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion in 1641. He supposedly inherited his father's rebellious nature." On page 270 you can read: "James Moore, Esquire, received a grant of land from the Proprietors that was known by the native names of "Boochowee' and 'Wapensaw' … The foundation grant was a large twenty-four hundred acre tract located between Bloomfield, the Oakes Plantation and Foster Creek. It had an auspicious occupancy from the start. Governor James Moore resided at the original Boochowee settlement, and after his death Colonel James Moore, the son, inherited and resided on the land." And: "Colonel James Moore was a well-respected churchwarden for Goose Creek …"

James Moore served as Provincial Governor from 1700-1702 and his son Colonel James Moore s served in that same capacity from1719-1721. James Moore was known as one of the "Goose Creek Men".

According to the article by Mabel Webber in The South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, vol. XXXVII, January 1936, James Moore's will is dated 01 Nov 1703 and was proved on 06 Nov 1706. Moore gives his wife, Margaret, his plantation, called "Wassanissah" (Wassamassaw), also some slaves and two Indian men, during her natural life or so long as she remain a widow and no longer, and upon her death or marriage to his children. To his son James two ninths of his personal estate. To his sons Jehu, Roger, Maurice, John and "Nathanyell" and to his daughters, Ann Davis, Mary and Rebecca Moore, all the remainder of his real and personal estate, not otherwise bequeathed them; should and die under age or before they had lawfull issue, then said share to be equally divided among the rest. To his daughter Margaret Schenckingh £ 2O to buy her a suit of mourning. He appoints his "dear wife Margaret," his loving friend Job … , his kind cousin John Berringer and his son James Moore, his executors and gives them each £ 10 for mourning suits. He adds a codicil of the same date giving his wife the choice of his horses for her riding, the furniture and the stock of cattle on the plantation at his death.

Note: Job … is probably Job Howe or Howes.
