I apologize that I mostly have not got proper references for the abstracts cited below.
John Moore married Tabitha Pace, daughter of Richard Pace (will proved 1738 Bertie Co.) Richard Pace's will mentions daughter Tabitha Moore; John Pace's will (proved 1753 Northampton Co.) mentions wife Tabitha, daughter Sarah, sons Mark, John, Isham, William, Nathaniel, Richard. Executors: wife Tabitha Moore, Richard Moore and Thomas Pace.
In 1771, John Moore Senior gave land in Johnston County to his son John Moore Jr:
12 Aug mdccLxxi. John Moore Senior, Johnston Co, N.C. for natural love and good will and affection I have towards my loving son John Moore JR, 50 A on Johnston Co Adj Vacant to little river being a part of land whereon I now live beginning on the NS little riv at a white oak running thence E126p to a P.Oak: s126p to a pine: W126p to a white oak standing on little river above James Swans line: Up the river to a gum being William O'Neal's Cor: Along marked trees being agreed line to a dogwood: Along line of marked trees being agreed line to a holley standing on the river: Up said riv to 1st sta. being part of a patent granted to Edmond Smithwick for 100 A dated 1 Dec 1744 the half whereof soposion and bounded to the said John Moore JR: Witt: John Hayles, Absalom Hollimon, Ruth Bandy.
And here's Mark Moore, together with Samuel Clark, selling 200 acres on Little River to New Tapley:
1767 September 29. Samuel Clark and Mark Moore of Northampton County to New. Tapley of Johnston County, for £25 proclamation money, 200 acres in Johnston County on the north side of the Little River the waters of Neuse, beginning at a white oak on the river bank running N 3 ch to a white oak, W 50 ch to a hicory, a strate [sic] line to the river to a stake, down the courses of sd river to begining, it being land granted to John Moore, dec'd; witnesses: Isham Moore, John Avent.
From the matching names, it seems certain that these Moores in Johnston County are from the family of John and Tabitha Pace Moore.
John Moore (m. Tabitha) died by 1753, so "John Moore Senior" who gave 50 acres to John Moore Jr, must be Tabitha's son giving land to her grandson -- both named John Moore.
John Moore (Tabitha's son) died in Jefferson Co. GA (will proved Sep 1816). His will mentions daughter Mourning Price.
Mourning Moore married Rice Price the son of James Price on 2-24-1795 in Johnston County, North Carolina. Dixon Price (brother to Rice Price) served as bondsman.
Administration on the estate of James Price to John Moore when he entered bond of 140 pounds current money, 9-1-1795. (JoCo Court Minutes)
Mourning Moore Price was Tabitha Pace Moore's granddaughter.
In 1799, Dixon Price sold land to Jonathan Walton:
21 Aug 1799. Dixon PRICE to Jonathan WALTON, 40 silver dollars 50A, on BS Long Br beg. at a Black Oak on W. side of the Road in John WATSONS line: an E corse along sd line 80 Outs to the Cor a Spanish Oak: N53p along Stephen PACES line to his Cor a black Oak: E180p along sd PACES line to a Holly on NS Long Br: N16p to pine in sd PRICES line on NS the roade: the roade to beg...Wit: Wm. BRYAN, jr., Robt. GULLEY Aug Ct 1799 ackd. R. SANDERS Clk. (Johnston County NC Abstracts Deed Books Z-1, Z-1, A-2, B-2 1799-1803 Vol. VI, Weynette Parks Haun)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to the identity of this Stephen Pace? The fact that he's in the same area as the family of John Moore and Tabitha Pace, and apparently a neighbor of Mourning Moore's brother-in-law, suggests he could be related to Tabitha Pace's family. Tabitha's brother William had a son Stephen, and son Stephen also had a son Stephen (mentioned in his father's will proved 1823 Putnam Co GA).
On the other hand, there was also an Alsey Pace (b. abt 1785) in the same area, and it has been suggested that he might have been a son of Stephen Pace. If so, Stephen Pace was NOT related to Tabitha Pace Moore's family; DNA results show that descendants of Alsey Pace do not match the descendants of Tabitha Pace's brothers.
Anyone have any comments?
