RESEARCH NOTES

In 1679 the inhabitants of Black Point were ordered to maintain Richard Moore and remunerate his "son-in-law" Richard Hunnewell for his previous expense, this being set forth in the first town paper of Scarborough. Moore was an inhabitant there by 1665 and had a wife Bridget (see Southgate's Hist.) On Apr. 6, 1681 at York, administration upon the estate of his "father-in-law" Richard Moore, lately deceased, was granted to Richard Hunnewell, as the greatest creditor. ^[4]
