The Moore family, headed by James Moore Sr. (d. 1848) was an early owner of a large amount of the "Prospect Hill" tract in this part of Washington County. James and his children had emigrated from Scotland to Maryland, where he became a prominent early settler of Bladensburg.
A January 1826 ad offered for rent George Beale's house, "lately occupied by James Moore." The agent was Ezekiel MacDaniel (1786-1836), who was married to James Moore Sr.'s daughter Ann (1790-1864). In 1839 Moore split up what remained of his Prospect Hill land, about 125 acres, among his five children. George received a little more than 17 acres including buildings; David received two parcels, one of almost 24.75 acres and the other of slightly more than four acres; John received slightly more than 29 acres plus another half-acre for a family burial ground, which he immediately sold to his brother, James Jr.; James Jr. received about 23.25 acres and Ann Moore McDaniel, now a widow, received about 26.25 acres. By the late 1850s, John and James Jr. had likely sold their parcels to George and David, as an 1857 map shows that they and their sister Ann now owned all the land.
