Person:William Moore (82)

History of York provides the following information about William Moore:

"He came to York about 1651 and the next year signed the Submission. Of his English origin nothing definite has been learned, although it is probable that he came from Devonshire and may be either a son of Richard, baptized October 26, 1629 or son of John of Ipplepen, baptized November 16, 1623, as both dates would be applicable for identification. He was a fisherman and ferryman at Stage Neck and lived in Lower Town opposite Varrell Lane. He signed petitions in 1679 against the sale of Maine to Massachusetts and in 1680 to the king. By his will March 31, 1691 he devised property appraised at £159-7-0 to his children. He married about 1653 Dorothy, daughter of William Dixon of this town."

Unclear if this William Moore is the same as Person:William Moore (143).
