Biographical Information

William Moore (1810-1859) and his spouse Laura Moore (1812-1859) were farmers in Loudoun County, Virginia. On 17 October 1851, the Moore's purchased 107 acre tract of land near the town of Waterford from John B. Nichols (1802-1884). Two years later, on 29 August 1853, Moore sold 95 acres to Joseph Gibson (1797-ca. 1860); this deed was registered on 7 April 1859.
