Biography

1776 Project

Daughters of the American Revolution
Benjamin Moore is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A133487.

Benjamin was born about 1712. He is the son of James Moore.

The location of his home is believed to have been along the west side of Prince George's County, Md., near the Potomac River. It was referenced when Piscataway Hundred was divided in 1773, based on the road leading from Broad Creek Church to Benjamin Moore's plantation. The north side of the road would be Hynson Hundred, while south of the road remained Piscataway Hundred.

Benjamin passed away about 1784.[1]

DNA Confirmation:

Direct paternal lines back to MRCA Benjamin Moore (1712-1784) are confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing which reveals Robert Moore II (R-BY3368) and Kerry Moore (R-M269) match 110 out of 111 markers; Kerry Moore and James Moore VII (R-M269) match 109 out of 111 markers; James Moore VII and Robert Moore II match 108 out of 111 markers; Robert Moore II and James G. Moore (R-L21) match 66 out of 67 markers; and James Moore VII and James G. Moore match 65 out of 67 markers. Robert Moore II, Kerry Moore, James Moore VII, and James G. Moore are all direct descendants of Benjamin Moore.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Benjamin by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Benjamin:

Moore-34401 Robert Moore II
Autosomal triangulations on Chromosome 6, with at least 3.07 to 9.02 cM, have proven descendants of Benjamin and descendants of his siblings Mary Moore Summers and Jane Moore Hoskinson, are descended from a common male father, who is likely James Moore (born ca. 1624-1640). However, in that these triangulations are outside the 3rd cousin rule for Wikitree, the "confirmed with DNA' indicator cannot be used unless we can make a 3rd cousin triangulation. Nonetheless, there are currently over 24 persons DNA-tested in FTDNA who are descended from James Moore and are included in this Moore WikiTree, and of that number, so far, four have tested Y DNA at either 67 or 111 markers and match at better than 90%, justifying the DNA confirmed marker.
