  • John More, son of Joseph and Lydia More, born at Sudbury, May 8, 1683: [6]
  • John Moore, born December 13, 1673, Sudbury, Massachusetts, parents Jacob and Elizabeth Moore. [7]

Referring to the PDF images on this profile, it appears Abigail married the John Moore born December 13, 1673 Specifically, pp 167-168, top of p 168, "child #G. Abigail Wright - b. 15 Sep 1672 m John Moore who was b 13 Dec 1673 in Sudbury. Abigail d 7 Dec 1729." attached Image [8][9]

She appears to be attached to the wrong John Moore, based on the birth date shown for John shown in the marriage record image attached. Her spouse should most likely be John Moore (1673-), son of Jacob rather than Joseph

I'll check it out. Do you have other sources, perchance?

Thanks

I added a source and further info to G2G. Also, if you can find which John Moore was a deacon, that might help, since her death record showed she was the wife of Deacon John Moore.

I have no idea, and given all the grief you and others have given me the past three-four days, as I said, "I am done"

We are not trying to give you grief, Britton. We want to ensure that the underlying source documents are in the profiles to support the information within them. We aim for accuracy here on WikiTree, and that is only possible with reliable sources. Thank you for your understanding.

It is the wrong birth year. She is attached to the correct John Moore

No record for her birth found in Sudbury records. https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Middlesex/Sudbury/BirthsP.shtml

This profile has some issues with the last two children were born after her death. Moore-4369 was born in 1718; Moore-4374 was born in 1721 and the mother, Phinney-38 died in 1714. *This note will be on all three profiles.*

Thanks, Cindy Williams Lesure
