MORE NOTES ON MARY
Margaret Howell was about 15 years old when her family immigrated to New England, and 28 when they settled at Southampton, Long Island, New York.
Margaret was married about 1641 to the Reverend John Moore. Records have not been found concerning his life and religious training in New England, but the latter was limited as is clear from a record given below. After a sojourn in Lynn, he was in Southampton by 6 April 1641, when he was granted a lot (SHTR 1:22). On 16 March 1643 'John Moore was censured for saying Daniel How did vsurpe the execution of the place of Magistracy hee then lyein under Church censure, not being then deposed or degraded fro the same. And to confesse his fayling yf hee shall bee at the next quarter Court' (SHTR 1:27). On 7 March 1644 Joh Moore was assigned to the third ward for the disposition of cast-up whales (SHTR 1:32). With Edward Howell and John Gosmer, he represented Southampton in the articles agreeing to its union with the Connecticut Colony on 30 May 1644. An order involving land on 6 March 1645 referred to 'John Moores eight Acres (SHTR 1:35). John Moore signed a record on inhabitants present at a meeting on 24 January 1647 (SHTR 1:45). John Moore was on the list of sixteen 'perfect freemen inhabiting this Towne of Southampton on 8 March 1649', after Edward Howell Gent and John Gosmer Gent (SHTR 1:55). This is the last record of his presence at Southampton. In the early 1650s, John Moore served in Hempstead replacing the Reverend Robert Fordham, who went to Southampton. John Moore was listed for two pounds on the Indian rate for 1656 at Middelburg (later called Newtown, now Elmhurst in Queens County, New York City). In 1657 he was one of a group of purchasers from the Indians of the site for Middelburg. He had already been installed as minister by 1656 as the Dutch clergymen Johannes Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius complained to Director General Stuyvesant on 15 January 1656 that Moore's absence unqualified persons were preaching at Middelburg. The Dutch clergymen were friends of John Moore and mention him in reports. On 5 August 1657 the wrote:
At Middelburg, called alias Newtown, they are mostly Independents and have a man of the same persuasion there named Johannis Moor, who preaches there well, but administers no sacraments, because (as he says) he was permitted in New England to preach but not authorized to administer sacraments, and he has thus continued now for many years.
The town of Middelburg built him a parsonage which he considered as his personal property and there were difficulties with it after his death. On 22 October 1657, Dutch clergymen reported the death of John Moore to their superiors:
We are at this time in great want of English ministers. . . On October 13, Mr. Moore, of Middelburg, which is another town here, died of a pestilential disease, which prevailed in several of our English towns and in New England. He left a widow with seven or eight children. A year before, being dissatisfied with the meagre and irregular payments from his hearers, he went to Barbados, to seek another place.
On 23 May 1661, the local magistrates were ordered to deliver up certain clothes belonging to the Rev. Mr. Moore deceased, to be sold by public auction to pay his debts. The children of John and Margaret (Howell) Moore are not known from any record at Southampton, nor any record at Newtown during his lifetime. The surviving children are however identified in the Newtown town records in an entry dated 19 June 1687, some thirty years after his death, conveying land to his heirs:
Difference between Gershom Moore, Samuel Moore, Joseph Moore, John Moore, and Content Titus, vs. Newtown, "Concerning a certain Parcell of land which formerly was given by the inhabitants thereof unto John Moore, Sr., Minister of ye sayd town, deceased, being one of the purchasers of ye sayd towne" by mutual agreement four score acres of land to be equally divided, signed by Gersham, Samuel, Joseph, Content Titus, and Thos. Pettit (for John Moore) 23 February 1688.
His widow, Margaret (Howell) Moore, was married for the second time in 1660, to Francis Doughty, son of the Reverend Francis and Bridget Doughty. For a time they resided with the Moore children in the Moore house, until, responding to public criticism, Governor Pieter Stuyvesant granted a petition on 18 February 1661 to Newtown residents to evict Doughty and family. Doughty then removed his family to New Amsterdam, where 'Francois Dough, en Margaret Houvel, syn huysvr' were members of the New Dutch (Reformed) Church, where his father was serving. The recording of Margaret with her father's surname in the Dutch style is the single contemporary documentation of her parentage. At this church their daughter Margaret was baptized on 9 March 1661 (NYGBR 6:92). There is no further record of Margaret or her daughter. After Francis Doughty returned to Newtown, he is often mentioned in its town records. In 1661, Richard Mills (the schoolmaster for whom the Mooe house was vacated) was ordered to deliver to Mr. Doughty various trees etc., planted and left on the lot of the deceased minister Mr. Moore. In 1665, Francis Doughty instituted a suit for a year's salary due to his father as minister in Flushing eighteen years earlier, and recovered 600 guilders. He was listed as an Overseer in Newtown in 1666 an also appeared on the Rate List then. In 1669, he served on a jury and sold land to Joseph Reeder. In 1670, with his stepson Samuel Moore, he witnessed the will of John Stephenson. He is last of record at New Amsterdam on 8 October 1672.
Much of the information about John Moore comes from the book of James W. Moore, Rev. John Moore of Newtown, Long Island and Some of his Descendants (1903).

Joseph Moore's baptismal records show he was baptized in June 1661. Margaret had Joseph soon after the death of John Moore & Joseph was baptized in New Amsterdam probably because they were evicted from Newtown. The book about Rev. John Moore however that is cited claims Margaret is the daughter of Edward Howell b. 1600 & there is not reference to the name Hallock. According to "Rev. John Moore & Some of His Descendants..." pg. 33. Margaret was bp. Nov. 24, 1622, in Marsh Gibbons, Buckinghamshire, England father being Edward Howell. Unsure what the first paragraph means? Was Frances Paxton her mother & how does the name Hallock fit into the story?

This is the last record of his presence at Southampton. In the early 1650s, John Moore served in Hempstead replacing the Reverend Robert Fordham, who went to Southampton. John Moore was listed for two pounds on the Indian rate for 1656 at Middelburg (later called Newtown, now Elmhurst in Queens County, New York City). In 1657 he was one of a group of purchasers from the Indians of the site for Middelburg. He had already been installed as minister by 1656 as the Dutch clergymen Johannes Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius complained to Director General Stuyvesant on 15 January 1656 that Moore's absence unqualified persons were preaching at Middelburg. The Dutch clergymen were friends of John Moore and mention him in reports. On 5 August 1657 the wrote:
At Middelburg, called alias Newtown, they are mostly Independents and have a man of the same persuasion there named Johannis Moor, who preaches there well, but administers no sacraments, because (as he says) he was permitted in New England to preach but not authorized to administer sacraments, and he has thus continued now for many years.
The town of Middelburg built him a parsonage which he considered as his personal property and there were difficulties with it after his death. On 22 October 1657, Dutch clergymen reported the death of John Moore to their superiors:
We are at this time in great want of English ministers. . . On October 13, Mr. Moore, of Middelburg, which is another town here, died of a pestilential disease, which prevailed in several of our English towns and in New England. He left a widow with seven or eight children. A year before, being dissatisfied with the meagre and irregular payments from his hearers, he went to Barbados, to seek another place.
On 23 May 1661, the local magistrates were ordered to deliver up certain clothes belonging to the Rev. Mr. Moore deceased, to be sold by public auction to pay his debts. The children of John and Margaret (Howell) Moore are not known from any record at Southampton, nor any record at Newtown during his lifetime. The surviving children are however identified in the Newtown town records in an entry dated 19 June 1687, some thirty years after his death, conveying land to his heirs:
Difference between Gershom Moore, Samuel Moore, Joseph Moore, John Moore, and Content Titus, vs. Newtown, "Concerning a certain Parcell of land which formerly was given by the inhabitants thereof unto John Moore, Sr., Minister of ye sayd town, deceased, being one of the purchasers of ye sayd towne" by mutual agreement four score acres of land to be equally divided, signed by Gersham, Samuel, Joseph, Content Titus, and Thos. Pettit (for John Moore) 23 February 1688.
His widow, Margaret (Howell) Moore, was married for the second time in 1660, to Francis Doughty, son of the Reverend Francis and Bridget Doughty. For a time they resided with the Moore children in the Moore house, until, responding to public criticism, Governor Pieter Stuyvesant granted a petition on 18 February 1661 to Newtown residents to evict Doughty and family. Doughty then removed his family to New Amsterdam, where 'Francois Dough, en Margaret Houvel, syn huysvr' were members of the New Dutch (Reformed) Church, where his father was serving. The recording of Margaret with her father's surname in the Dutch style is the single contemporary documentation of her parentage. At this church their daughter Margaret was baptized on 9 March 1661 (NYGBR 6:92). There is no further record of Margaret or her daughter. After Francis Doughty returned to Newtown, he is often mentioned in its town records. In 1661, Richard Mills (the schoolmaster for whom the Mooe house was vacated) was ordered to deliver to Mr. Doughty various trees etc., planted and left on the lot of the deceased minister Mr. Moore. In 1665, Francis Doughty instituted a suit for a year's salary due to his father as minister in Flushing eighteen years earlier, and recovered 600 guilders. He was listed as an Overseer in Newtown in 1666 an also appeared on the Rate List then. In 1669, he served on a jury and sold land to Joseph Reeder. In 1670, with his stepson Samuel Moore, he witnessed the will of John Stephenson. He is last of record at New Amsterdam on 8 October 1672.
Much of the information about John Moore comes from the book of James W. Moore, Rev. John Moore of Newtown, Long Island and Some of his Descendants (1903).

Comments
Joseph Moore's baptismal records show he was baptized in June 1661. Margaret had Joseph soon after the death of John Moore & Joseph was baptized in New Amsterdam probably because they were evicted from Newtown. The book about Rev. John Moore however that is cited claims Margaret is the daughter of Edward Howell b. 1600 & there is not reference to the name Hallock. According to "Rev. John Moore & Some of His Descendants..." pg. 33. Margaret was bp. Nov. 24, 1622, in Marsh Gibbons, Buckinghamshire, England father being Edward Howell. Unsure what the first paragraph means? Was Frances Paxton her mother & how does the name Hallock fit into the story?
MORE NOTES:
PARENTS:
FATHER: Edward Howell of Marsh Gibbons
MOTHER: Frances NEE: Paxton Although "Hallock" is listed as known where the name Hallock came from but is listed as Mary "Margaret's" other given name
