John Moore subscribed to the Lancaster townand church covenant and drew
40 acres of land there on November 30,1653. This land was in
South Lancaster at the corner of Maine Streetand George
Hill Road and included
the present
Chandler property and
that part of the Thayer homestead farm along George Hill
Road toRoper's Brook on the back road. He was a prominent
citizen, farm and
land owner at Sudbury and Lancaster. 6) Immigrant ancestor of most of the families of this name in Middlesex and Worchester
counties, Mass. 7) Was born in England.

Sudbury except perhaps Elizabeth. 13) John Moore was at Sudbury by
1643 and may have come to America from London in the "Planter" in 1635
at the age of twenty-four or he may

name being Elizabeth and he had several children.
His second wife was Ann,daughter of John Smith. His daughter
Mary married Richard Ward and Lydia (born June 24, 1643)
married in 1664 Samuel Wright 14) "There is some question as to
the number of time John
Moore married. The 1st wife Elizabeth
everyone agrees with along with their 2children.
The confusion is with Elizabeth Rice. Some documents state he was
married a third time to a Elizabeth Whale but there are some sources
that state
that
Elizabeth Whale was the married name of Elizabeth
Rice. Anyway I use only Elizabeth Rice which I feel
is correct." 'John
Moore m Eliz. had several children, m 2 Ann Smith,
d Mary m Richard Ward, Lydia b 1643 m 1664
Samuel Wright. 15) John first married Elizabeth RICE, in Little Gaddeston, England.
