Person:Sarah Moore (166)

Information on Sarah Moore

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

Sarah Moore was born ca 1765/74 (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: "Sally, who married John Montgomery". It should be noted that "Sally" is a common nickname for "Sarah."

Sarah married John Montgomery but I'm not sure when, though pre 1790 seems likely.

The census entries for John Montgomery in the Buncombe County area show two adult males in his house, and I'm not sure which of them is John. Here is what I have discovered from a limited search:

The 1790 census shows a John Montgomery in Burke County in the 6th Company just a few houses from William Moore. He was next door to James Montgomery (father? Brother?). John's entry seems to show two adult males, so perhaps the other is a brother or perhaps an older son or even his father.
