Second one, the pdf, has Moore genealogy but the content is later than this bio. Was there an intro to the pdf that contained the earlier story for here?
Also, the Geni version on this William helped clarify that William Moore (not John) was married to Susanna, so William was married twice, first to Susanna, who had most or all of his children, and then to Mary Roberts. She, then, was the "Mary Moore" in the will, relative to WILLIAM's minor sons John and Drury.
