Notes

An estate in Westmoreland only evidenced in the probate inventory of Benjamin Moore and four entries in the Accounts Produce when his son's inheritance was registered by his guardian Joseph Tharp. Assumed to be an agricultural entity as Benjamin Moore described himself as 'planter'. The listing in Hanver in 1742 is assumed to be the same property.
