BIRTH: Date and place of birth are from his Revolutionary War pension file, National Archives, #W1458 (FHL #971761). David is identified in the will his father, David Moore of Exeter, RI, 7 Nov 1804, proved 2 Jan 1806, Exeter Probate, 7:98 (FHL #932355).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. David had a son David born in 1772. See guardianship, 28 Feb 1787, Windsor Co. Probate (Hartford District), 1:4, paginated from back of vol. (FHL #029160). David Moore's, Jr, gravestone inscription shows that he was aged 72 at death on 1 Jan 1845; hence, he was born in 1772. This was ten years prior to the first known mar rec of David Moore, Sr, suggesting an earlier wife. She was probably a Mosher. Eber Mosher of Sharon, Vermont was guardian of David Moore (b. 1772). Eber previously lived in Richmond, RI. Eber's wife, a distant cousin, was Ede Mosher. It is likely that David Moore (b. 1752) was 1st married to a sister of Eber Mosher or a sister of Eber's wife Ede, also surnamed Mosher. See Mildred (Mosher) Chamberlain and Laura (McGaffey) Clarenbach, DESCENDANTS OF HUGH MOSHER (Madison, WI, 1990), 33-34, 49-50 (FHL #929.273 M853cm).

It is also stated that John Moore came from England in James R. Irish, HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE TOWN OF RICHMOND (Hope Valley, RI 1877), 93 (FHL #930852 item 2). A cenotaph erected in 1903 by Benjamin Barber Moore, a great great-grandson, also states that John Moore was of English birth("Richmond Cemetery Inscriptions," RIGR, 19[1995]:110 [FHL #974.5 D2Ri]). No evidence has been found to prove these assertions.
MAR: No mar rec found. John Moore's wife Mercy appears with him on a deed at North Kingstown, 22 Mar 1714/5 (North Kingstown Land Evidences, 3:37 [FHL #930954]), and again at Westerly, 7 Jan 1716 (Westerly Town Records, 2:130 [FHL #930813]).

It is also stated that Mercy came from England in James R. Irish, HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE TOWN OF RICHMOND (Hope Valley, RI, 1877), 93 (FHL #930853 item 2).
