COL. ROBERT MOORE.
From Notes by Judge Nathaniel Holmes, Cambridge, Mass.
He was appointed lieutenant-colonel of Col. Samuel Hobart's
second regiment of "Minute Men," being one of the
" four recriments of Minute Men " that were formed out of
the previous sixteen regiments of militia, on the 1st of September,
1775, and was taken out of "that of Colonel Bart-
lett," that " lately of Col. Matthew Thornton," that " lately
of Colonel Lutwyche," and that "lately of Colonel Kidder,"
whereof Samuel Philbrick was first major and Timothy
Farrar second major (N. H. Prov. Papers, vol. 7, p.
608). He is called Col. Robert Moore upon his gravestone
at Derry, and died in 1778. He was the great-grandfather
of the Hon. O. C. Moore, of Nashua, N. H., an exmember
of congress, and a brother of Elizabeth Moore, who
married Nathaniel Holmes, 2d, of Londonderry, N. H. In
1777, on the death of his father, he removed to the farm
of his parents, John and Janet Moore, who, in 1723 or
1724, came from county of Antrim, Ireland, and in 1727
or 1728 settled on the farm where they lived and died, the
place more recently known as the " Jenness place," on the
Chester road, a little northwest of Beaver pond, in the English
Range, and now owned by Mr. C. W. True. (See His-
tory of Bedford, N. H., for partial account of this family.)
Mary Holmes, of Londonderry, married Joseph Morison ^
(son of John i), and they were the parents of Abraham Morison.
She was, probably, the daughter of Abraham Holmes,
of the West Parish, and thus perpetuated the Christian name
of her father in that of her sou.
