John was the son of Walter Moore (1693-1782) and his second wife, Ann (Herbert) Moore (1710-1783).
In the Moore Bible is recorded - "In the year of our Lord 1766, the Locusts came by thusans by millions and by tens of thousans of millions, outnumberable. John Moore."
On 26 Mar 1766, John Moore and Phebe Dyer declared their intention to marry at the Gunpowder Friends' Monthly Meeting in Baltimore County, Maryland. The minutes of 28 May 1766 record the marriage had been accomplished in an orderly manner, but no date or place was given.
On 23 Sept 1772, the Gunpowder Friends' Monthly Meeting recorded that John Moore, son of Walter, was charged with "leaving his wife and children, and we have great reason to think he intends to take a young woman with him in a private and scandalous manner."
On 27 Oct 1773, Josiah Dyer and Esther (Brown) Dyer requested a certificate from the Gunpowder Friends' Monthly Meeting to remove to the Buckingham Friends' Monthly Meeting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with their daughters, Phebe Moore and Rachel Dyer. John Moore and Phebe (Dyer) Moore had children that removed to Pennsylvania with their mother and maternal grandparents.

On 30 Aug 1774, John Stiner came to Plumstead Township from Maryland and gave some account of John Moore.
John Moore must have returned to Phebe and his children about 1778. However, after Phebe died, it appears that their young children were being shuffled around to live with other people.

My beloved Sister was buryed the 13th of November, 1793, at plumstead. Rachel Brown came from the mountain to see her about two days before her Departure & staid the burial."
