This profile appears to be for two distinct people: (1) William Moore of Stratham, NH (ca. 1707-1791) who lived and died in Stratham, and the other (2) a William Moore (abt. 1705-1771) who died in Wake, North Carolina. The children in this profile appear to belong to the William Moore of North Carolina.
