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.
