The Samuel Moore family is one of my allied families & I have been trying to help another researcher who believes he is a descendant of Martha Moore daughter of John & Hope Robins Moore & wife of John Freeman. There appears to have been a Martha Moore who married John Freeman b. Nov. 5, 1698 in Woodbridge. We don't have a record of their marriage but the will of John Freeman does name his wife Martha. Can any researcher here help me? Is there a record or any information for Martha Moore Freeman as the daughter of John & Hope Robins Moore? Several months ago I contacted all the researchers I found on the internet who posted this information. So far not one site has answered but it doesn't surprise me. What surprises (shocks) me is when someone from one of these internet sites actually does answer. :>) Documentation: Hope Robins married John Moore March 18, 1699 at Woodbridge, NJ From the Woodbridge Vital Records their children were: John b. 12/3/1700 Joseph 10/5/1703 Benjamin 10/10/1705 Enoch 12/7/1707 Samuel 4/4/1709 Daniel 8/24/1711 Rachel 10/15/1713 Hope died after after June 22, 1714 the date Daniel's will was written & before November 21, 1717 when John Moore married Mary Oliver. Will of John Moore written March 13, 1730, proved April 20, 1736. He names his children John, Benjamin, Enoch, Samuel, Daniel, Rachel (Hope's children) Their son Joseph was not named so assume he died before 1730. Names his children by 2nd wife Mary Oliver as William, Mary, Hannah Deborah, Sarah, Elizabeth Hope, Frances.

FWIW, I have the following note on Martha from Rox Cox at Ancestry World Tree Dispute as to parents. Monette claimed dau of John Moore & Hope Robbins. There is no evidence that John and Hope (Robbins) Moore had a daughter named Martha. Willis Freeman said she was d/o Alexander Moore of New London, Conn. This seems much more likely since she named a son Alexander and in her will she mentioned land she owned in New London or New England. Others claim probably a daughter of Samuel Moore & Experience FitzRandolph.

Bill, Your information on Martha was just what I needed to answer the question of Martha Moore's parentage. Willis Freeman's research is located in the NJ Historical Society's "Freeman, Worth, Gardner Collection." Thanks for much for your help.

Martha Moore b. abt. 1701 w/o John Freeman b. 1698 of Woodbridge, NJ was not the daughter of Capt. John Moore & Hope Robins d/o Daniel Robins. There are reliable sources for Martha Moore as the d/o Alexander More/Moore of East Hampton, NY, one is found in the 1689 East Hampton, NY Town Records. John Taylor & I didn't include this Moore/Freeman line in the Robins, Robbins of NJ book because we believed there wasn't enough evidence to link Martha Moore to Hope Robins. Recent research now supports this belief. Sara END
