  JOHN MOORE, farmer, P. O. Findlay, was born near Lancaster, Penn., October 16,
1808, son of Hugh and Susan (Buckwalter) Moore, the former a native of County
Tyrone, Ireland, and the latter of Pennsylvania. Hugh Moore came to America
about the year 1800, and settled in Pennsylvania; of his ten children four are
now living: John, William, Nancy (wife of William Nelson), and Amanda (wife of
William Cole). John Moore came to Ohio with his parents in 1828 and settled in
Richland (now Ashland) County. He was married, in 1833, to Agnes W. Roller,
daughter of William Roller, a descendant of Capt. Weston, an old English
navigator and explorer. To Mr. and Mrs. Moore were born eleven children, of whom
ten are now living: Nancy, wife of A. J. Moore; Susannah; Mary, wife of R.
Taylor; Ross W.; William died in infancy; Robert Bruce; Thomas Dorr; John Duff;
Amanda, wife of C. Dressier; Lucinda, wife of H. Lackey, and Emma, wife of J. W.
Bear; all reside in this county. Mr. Moore came to this county in 1838 with his
wife's father, who entered eight quarter-sections of land in Big Lick Township,
Mr. Moore getting one-quarter section as his part of it. This land was entered
by Mr. Roller, the father-in-law. A large part of this land is now held by his
heirs, he having divided his lands among his children. His original farm is on
Section 15, Big Lick Township, where A. J. Moore now resides. John Moore
purchased the farm on which he now resides in 1866. He has filled the offices of
township trustee, clerk, fence viewer, and other places of trust, and is a
valuable citizen. He has been successful in life and is now enjoying the fruits
of his former years of hard labor, tenderly caring for the declining years of
his wife, who has been an invalid for some years. Mr. Moore has not attached
himself to any church, but believes in the Universal doctrine. In politics he is
a Democrat and voted for Andrew Jackson.
