Bio and family history
Isabella Strudwick was born in Orange County, North Carolina, on December 12th, 1816 to her Father, Samuel Strudwick and Mother, Sophie Moore.
Although her monument states her birth year was "1817", multiple sources indicate she was actually born in 1816.
Isabella's Maternal Great Grandfather, Brigadeer General James Moore was active in the independence movement, despite having been a supporter of the Colonial Government early on in his early career. Moore played a prominent role in the local Sons of Liberty organizations and assisted in organizing the Colony-wide Provincial Congress. Mr. Moore was elected Colonel of the Continental Line Regiment in North Carolina which had been raised following the instructions of the Continental Congress in September of 1775.
Five months later in February of 1776 Moore skillfully maneuvered his forces between the Loyalists assembled at Cross Creek and their proposed rendezvous with British forces at Wilmington. The move forced the Loyalists to engage American forces at Moore's Creek Bridge in present day Pender County, North Carolina. His strategic maneuvering was central to the American victory.
After distinguishing himself in the campaign that led to the Patriot victory, Moore was promoted to Brigadier General in the Continental Army on February 27th, 1776. He was one of only five Continental Army Generals from North Carolina. General Moore maintained his headquarters in North Carolina in early 1776 so as to thwart a threatened British invasion of the State. Initially, the Continental Congress ordered Moore to join General George Washington in the North, but because of the continued threat of a British attack in North or South Carolina, Congress suspended Moore's orders and gave North Carolina's Provincial Council discretion over his disposition. In the latter part of the year he ultimately received orders to move his command to South Carolina. Moore briefly held de facto command of the Southern Department before his death at the age of 40 due to illness in 1777. He is remembered as a competent military commander whose early death ended a promising career.
