  • The Moore Family1 the First Moore We Are Sure About Was John Moore G9
    Chapter 1 The Moore Family1 The first Moore we are sure about was John Moore G9. (See Charts 3) His father almost certainly was William Moore G10, who received a patent for 300 acres on a branch of the Nansemond River in Virginia on the 6 of December 1652. The records of the Isle of Wight show that in 1667, William Smelley patented land on the western branch of the Nansemond River adjoining John Moore. In 1668. Thomas Cullen also is listed as patented 400 acres adjoining John Moore in the Upper Parish of Nansemond Co. The property being referred to must certainly be the same as that patented by William Moore in 1652. The fact that John Moore owned property on the Nansemond River makes the likelihood very high that William was John’s father. I believe it is also significant that a William Moore (More) was a member of the Virginia Company of London.2 He is one of the signers of the May 23,1609 Second Charter. Many of those members sailed to Virginia to become planters; some, however, were only investors. There is no evidence that William Moore of London ever came to America. Nothing is really known about either William Moore of London or the one who patented land in 1652 beyond what is described above. It is plausible that the William Moore who was a member of the Virginia Company of London was father to William Moore (G10) who patented land in 1652. Members bought shares hoping to earn profits but also possibly land.

  • Lloyd Johnson #33 December 8, 1984
    Lloyd Johnson #33 December 8, 1984 Q: Mr. Johnson, I'd like to start at the beginning of your Navy career. When did you first join the Navy? A: I enlisted in the Navy in Chicago, Illinois, on the 10th of February, 1928. Q: What made you decide you wanted to join the Navy? A: I started working on farms at about the age of 14. I worked about 4 years by the month. In other words, you called it "hiring out" and you agreed to work, but you worked 12 - 14 hours a day let us say from some time in April around the first of September. After about when I was 18...about 19, I revolted and I refused to work under those conditions. I worked one year "by the day", on an hourly basis. And then in the Fall of 1927, I went to work in the railroad shops of the Burlington Railroad at Iola(??), Illinois, which was a suburb of Aurora. I worked in that "hell hole" for the magnificent sum of $.25 and hour until the following Spring, when they decided I wasn't doing enough work to justify my $.25, and they put me on piecework. The net result was I had to quit my job and then try to get in the Navy in the winter time, rather than wait until Spring, because I knew the winters were cold in the Great Lakes. Q: Where did you take your basic training? A: Great Lakes. Q: And how long did that last? A: In those days, it lasted from some time in February to some time in April.

  • MS 0841, Adelaide Heath Doig Scrapbook Collection, 1874 - 1962
    801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0841, Adelaide Heath Doig Scrapbook Collection, 1874 - 1962 Processor: David G. Wood Processed Date: September 2015 Adelaide Bell Heath was born on November 5, 1891, the only child of Anna Barnes Heath and Hartwell Peebles Heath. The Barnes' and the Heaths were members of Washington's "resident society,” a group whose social position stemmed not exclusively from wealth, but rather their membership in accomplished families that had resided in the District, Maryland, or Virginia for generations—and whose more illustrious members were often found, if not at the center, then at least on the edges of political power. Adelaide’s maternal grandfather, Joseph Barnes, had been appointed Surgeon General of the United States Army by President Lincoln, and was present at Lincoln's bedside in the Peterson House on the morning the President died. Her mother, Anna, had been a bridesmaid at the White House wedding of President Grant's daughter, Nellie. Her father’s family belonged to Virginia's plantation aristocracy, having owned land south of the James River since colonial times. Adelaide’s grandmother Heath was the former Betty Mason, the youngest daughter of John Young Mason, who had been a Congressman from Virginia, federal judge, Attorney General, and finally U.S. Minister to France in the Pierce and Buchanan administrations. Though Adelaide lived part of her adult life elsewhere, she was firmly rooted in Washington, D.C. Her godfather was Charles Carroll Glover, the Riggs National Bank president who played a critical role in the creation of local landmarks such as National Cathedral and Glover-Archbold Park.
