Description: from "Families of Southern Maryland" volume 5, p.220-221
James Moore, Sr.
This James Moore appears to have had the distinction of living a longer life than most, if not all, other settlers who arrived in Maryland in the 1600s. In 1735 he signed his name as "James Moore ye 110." At first glance, one might suspect this is either a mistake or "ye 110" has some meaning other than his age. However, records appeard to prove quite conclusively that he really did achieve this ancient age of c110 years.
It is impossible to determine when and how this James Moore, identified as James Moore, Sr., by 1735, entered the Province since there was not only an abundance of Moores who arrived in the 1600s but there was more than one James Moore.
This James Moore lived some 40 years at 'Four Hills', had 2 wives during the last 15 years and probably another wife or wives and other children in the early years.
