"Bury the dead and weep
In stillness, o'er the loss;
Bury the dead! in Christ they sleep,
Who bore onearth His Cross,
And from the grave their dust shall rise,
In His own imag to the skies."

Notes:

Name:
"William Henry Moore and His Ancestry": Theresa Moore taught school in Asa Bennet's barn in the place later called Newark Valley, Tioga County, in the summer of 1799. In 1800, she taught in a log school house that was built in the corner of Captain Asa Leonard's orchard. In Asa Leonard's account book is the entry with Henry Moore: "By his daughter Thersey, time to keep school, 12 weeks at 5s 4d = L3.4s." In the winter of 1801 she and her husband commenced housekeeping on a farm of fifty-five acres in the south part of Lot No. 58. they continued to live in that house until the spring of 1810, later moving about from one house to another in the same neighborhood. It was said of Jonas Muzzy that he never forgot the fact that he was born at noon for his father required his services until noon of the day he attained his majority, and he often told of that last half-day spent in building a rail fence in a snow storm without mittens.

Name:
"William Henry Moore Genealogy": according to the Simsbury vital records, was born on January 30, 1755. The year must be a mistake for 1755/56 or 1756, as his parents were not married until May 22, 1755, and the son was baptized on february 1, 1756. The baptism was in Wintonbury Parish, now the town of Bloomfield, Connecticut. Henry Moore died in Newark Valley in the Boston Purchase, Tioga County, New York, on July 5, 1824, "aged sixty-seven years," according to his gravestone. If he was born in January 1756, he was then aged sixty-eight years, five months and five days. On November 1, 1782, at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, he was married by the Reverend Stephen West of Stockbridge to Lucy Churchill, a daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Curtis) Churchill, and a granddaughter of Samuel Churchill, and Elnathan Curtis. Lucy Churchill was born on November 22, 1762, in Stockbridge, and died June 22, 1846, in Newark Valley in the Boston Purchase, Tioga County, New York. Her gravestone gives her age as eighty-three years. She was actually aged eighty-three years and seven months. The Churchills of this family descend from John churchill who was first noted in this country in the town and colony of Plymouth in 1643. the Curtis family is that founded by Henry Curtis of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Among the ancestors in this group were John Doane, a Governor's Assistant of Plymouth Colony in 1633 and Robert Hick, a member of the General Court of Plymouth colony in the same year....

Henry Moore enlisted as a private in Captain Job Woodbridge's company, Colonel Abijah Brown's regiments, on July 5, 1777. He was discharged on July 21, 1777, after a service of fourteen days. this company formed part of a detachment under Major Caleb hidy which marched from Stockbridge on the evacuation of Ticonderoga. Moore again enlisted on July 22, 1777, as private in Captain William Francis' company, Colonel John Ashley's detachment of militia. He was discharged August 13, 1777, after a service of twenty-three days in the Northern department. Moore again appears as a soldier on two alarms in 1780. He was in Captain Ezra Whittelsey's company in the Third Berkshire County Regiment for "an alarm to the Westward," serving from October 20, 1780, to October 22, 1780, which was credited as three days. He went out again in the same company and regiment on November 5, 1780, for two days on an alarm at Saratoga. It will be noted that Henry Moore was once discharged on August 13, 1777, after service in the Northern department. the Battle of Bennington took place on August 16, 1777, and in that engagement were many men from Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Moore's service in that same month must have been part of the same campaign.

After the Revolution Henry Moore married and continued to live in Stockbridge. There he held some minor town offices. He was chosen hog-reeve on March 18, 1782, and again chosen as such at a town meeting held March 13, 1786, and still a third time on Mach 16, 1789, this time at West Stockbridge. he was made Surveyor (Inspector) of Highways on march 1, 1790, and also made at that time a member of the school committee. On February 19, 1791, the car mark for Henry Moore's cattle, a slit under the right ear, was registered.....

Henry married Lucy CHURCHILL on 1 Nov 1782 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Lucy was born on 22 Nov 1762 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts; died on 22 Jun 1846 in Newark Valley, Tioga Co., New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
