User Home Pages: "The Moore's of 1772"
| I have aquired a bible originally owned (as per the bill of sale hand written in the front of the bible) by Joseph Moore on December 1772 from "Hall & Sellars" in Philadelphia for 48 shillings. It is a "Prince James" version, as you know the present king was "King George". There are hand written entries of births and deaths in the family. One birth entry ends with "four years after our independance". I have gotten great pleasure out of studying and doing research on this great book. I find it very exciting that it was bought in the heart of our nation at a time of great excitement. | "The Moore's of 1772" Updated September 5, 2000 |
