Many of these Virginia Moores were of (now)West Virginia and a number of the MarylandMoores were at Frederick. I note this by reason thatmy American Moore ancestry (and Biggs, too), be-gins with Frederick, Maryland, and the region aboutWheeling, West Virginia. Frederick, Maryland, wasa seat in America of my Moores and Biggs, both fam-ilies having representatives in Virginia. The census of Maryland just cited gives ten Biggsheads of families, four of whom are of Frederick andthe others in Montgomery, Cecil and Hanford. There is a town, Moorefield, in West Virginia, alsoone in Kentucky, and Mooreland, in Pennsylvania. [6]. My Grandmother Susan McKee OMelveny when very old GENEALOGY Possibly my children are doubly related, for mywifes grandmother was Jane Moore of a trained investigator, paid for his time andlabor, with a fair starter, might run down to datemost Southern Moores with accuracy. I am so igno-rant of proper methods that I do not know. I knowmy direct line to include my Moore great-great-grandparents, and the same as to Biggs and White-side, but my trouble is to get farther back. I locate my Moore great-great-grandfather, JamesMoore, of England, and have dates of his birth, mar-riage, and his children, but I do not know what be-came of his children other than his son James, fromwhom I am descended. In that connection, however,I note that, as herein shown, the original JamesMoore, had a son, David Moore, born in 1742, andas shown in Draper Manuscript Collection (setout in an appendix), in 1779 at Fort Pitt, a DavidMoore receipted to Captain Benjamin
