Biography
Mary Moore
Birth date 1740 is a guess, based on husband Nathaniel Webster's birth (1714) and his mentioning in their pre-nuptial agreement/bond she may be able to have children after their marriage in 1783.The Birth Date is a rough estimate. See the text for details.
It appears she did not have any children by her will dated 1 January 1803.
Little is known about Mary. Birth place of Virginia is also a guess, based on the location of her marriage intention to Nathaniel.
Hers was a late life marriage for Nathaniel Webster. Very possibly it was not her first. He was almost seventy when they filed their marriage intention on 22 Aug 1783, at Goochland County, Virginia.[1] This was his third marriage. He had nine children by his two previous marriages, all of whom were adults by this time. Nathaniel named his 9 children in his will, proved November 18, 1801.[2] His son, Jacob, married later than the others, in 1793, so he may have been living at home. Nathaniel died before 19 Jan 1801 in Goochland County, Virginia.
