Do you have any information on Martha Ann Stewart (mine came from the Springhill area) and/or Abraham Brown?
By the way, I met with Carl Demings at the North Cumberland Historical Society when I was in NS last month.
Thanks,

: Hi Jim,
:
: Thanks for your message. I am indeed interested in Agnes Simpson and William
: Moore - they're mine (and Don's as well).
:
: Here's a copy of a message I sent to Sheldon Furlong. I haven't heard back
: from him yet:
:
: William Moore came from Co. Derry (near Belfast) Ireland to Wallace, NS in a
: vessel belonging to Joseph Carr of Wallace, who was a ship builder and sea
: captain. William married Agnes Simpson and went to Amherst in 1814, where he
: stayed for 1 1/2 years. He then sent for his father, mother and all his
: brothers and sisters. They all stayed in Amherst till the spring of 1816,
: when they all came to the shore of River Philip and bought a large tract of
: land from a man named Peter Rushton and the same land is now owned by Laurie
: Henley and Bickford Henley.
:
: When the Moore family came from Ireland, Robert Dixon and family came with
: them. Robert's wife was Jennie Doudle. Jennie was a sister to Mary/Molly
: Doudle, wife of John Moore, parents of William Moore who came out first.
:
: Other children of John Moore and Molly Doudle were Mary and Nancy. Nancy
: was born in Ireland abt 1796 and married William Simpson, also born in
: Ireland, about 1786. (William Simpson and Nancy Moore were my
: gr-gr-grandparents.)
:
: I obtained the information immediately above when I was in NS in September.
: It is from "The History of the Dixons". It consists of 8 typed pages. It
: starts: 5. History of the Dixons, and goes to page 12. I don't know what
: the first 4 pages consisted of - I don't have them, and I don't know if
: there was anything more after page 12. I do not know who put it together,
: but I do know that it was done pre-1964, as that is the year Laurie Henley
: died (see reference to land above).
:
: William Moore was the man who built the ship "The Molly Moore". He
: apparently sent to England for a captain - William "Bill" Henley. Bill
: Henley married William Moore's daughter, Molly. This information was
: published in The Oxford Journal July 21, 1982 (a reprint of Oxford's Early
: Events and Its People by Robert (Bob) Schurman).
:
: >From the library in Springhill, I obtained the following sketchy information:
:
: John Moore b. Ulster, Ireland m. Mary Doudle b. Ireland
: their children:
:
: 1) John b. 1786 m. Sophia Angus
: 2) William b1798 m. Agnes Simpson
: 3) Jane b. 1805 m. William Hedley-Henley 12 Dec. 1844
:
:
: William Moore b. 1798 m. Agnes (Nancy) Simpson d. before 1871.
: Their children:
:
: 1) John b. 23 Mar. 1822; d. 11 July 1884 m. Martha Ann Stewart
: 2) Jane b. 1841
: 3) James S. b. 1822
: 4) one born in 1827
: 5) Mary b. 1827 William Thompson
: 6) Molly (no date) William "Bill" Henley
: 7) Samuel
: 8) one girl m. Abraham Brown
:
: As you can see, it's rather vague. I do not know if the Agnes Simpson who
: married William Moore was related to William Simpson who married Nancy
: Moore, or not.
:
: I'd love to hear further from you on this, Jim.
