Information on Margaret Moore

http://www.martygrant.com/gen/moore/moorenc/moore-william-buncombe.htm

Margaret Moore was born ca 1755/65 (based on 1800 and 1810 census entries), presumably in old Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. She was mentioned in the 1903 letter as a daughter of old William H. Moore: "Peggy, who married James Rutherford". It should be noted that "Peggy" is a common nickname for "Margaret."

Margaret Moore married James Rutherford probably before ca 1784 either in old Mecklenburg or old Burke County. James was born ca 1755/65 per census analysis. I don't know where he was born, nor who his parents were.

They were listed on the 1790 census in Burke County, in the 6th Company. They were just a few houses from Peggy's parents. Their next door neighbors were Robert Sellers and Margaret Dizard.
