RICHARD
MOHR
Richard
Moore (Mohr) was born in 1767 and died in 1805 at 38 years of
age. He married Elisabeth Hogeboom (born Nov 14, 1761 in
Claverack, New York) September 25, 1784 in Claverock, New
York.. He was 17.
The
only thing I have on this family is that they lived in Hillsdale, New
York in 1789.
They
had six children: Engeltje 1785, David (1789-1879), John (1793-1877)
and Richard (1793-1859) both born 1793, William H (1800-1857), Sarah
(1804-1859).
DAVID
CHARLES MOORE
David
Charles was born March 13, 1789 in Rensselaer, New York to
Richard and Elisabeth (Hogeboom) Moore. His baptism was March 16,
1789 in the Reformed Dutch Church in Hillsdale, New York. He moved to
Highgate, Vermont in the 1800s with his father. David's father died
when he was only 16.
There
is paperwork for the War of 1812 Pensions listed for David.
About
1816 David married Anna Teachout (Nov 14, 1795-October 1,
1862) in Highgate, Vermont. He was 27 and she was 21.
We
have a 1820 Census in Highgate, Vermont that lists 4 free
white people in family. That was the only information collected on a
census that year.
The
1830 Census again in Highgate has 8 in the family.
The
next Census found is in 1850 in Highgate, Vermont. David is 62
and a farmer, His wife, Anna, is 50 with children Humphry 22, John
20, Elizabeth 17 and Mary 13.
Census
1860: again in Highgate,Vermont. We have much more
information in this Census. David is a farmer and 71. His Real Estate
value is $4000 and Personal Value $8175 which is really good in this
day and time. His wife, Ann, is 60 with children Jacob 40, Humphry 33
and Mary 22.
Census
1970: David is 82 living with Humphry 62 and Sarah. They are
farmers with a Real Estate Value of $6000 and Personal Value of
$1500. Amazing the information they were requested to provide....and
they did.
According
to David's death certificate he died of old age March 17, 1879 in
Highgate, Vermont at 90 years old! I have a picture of his headstone.
David
and Anna had nine children: Richard 1818-1899, Jacob 1820-1886,
Charles 1822-1892, Laura 1824-1858, Humphrey 1827-1889, John William
1830-1908, Elizabeth 1833-1925, Infant 1837-1837, Mary 1837.
CHARLES
S. MOORE
Charles
was born December 15, 1822 in Highgate, Vermont to David
Charles and Anna (Teachout) Moore. He married Jane Donaldson
(1822-1881) January 24, 1844 in Swanton, Vermont. They were
both 20.
The
1850 Census in Swanton, Vermont lists Charles (28) and Jane
(42) with Diana (3). He is a farmer with a Real Estate Value of $186.
The
1860 Census still in Swanton, Vermont Charles is 38, wife Jane
32, child only Derrick 13....(why Derrick was not listed in 1850 and
where is Diana in 1860 I really don't know. Census are only as good
as the people that take them. Spelling, penmanship all can lead to
confusing Census but they are the best we have to track families!)
Now his Real Estate Value is $350 and Personal Value is $350.
The
Civil War records do list Charles who enlisted November 2, 1862. He
is 39. He is with Regiment Company H Nebraska 2nd Calvary.
Mustered out December 23, 1863.
We
also know he was a widower at 58.
Charles
passed away November 21, 1892 in Swanton, Vermont. He was 70.
I have a picture of his headstone.
Children:
Horace W 1845-1848, Diana 1846, Derrick 1849-1902.
NOTE:
Charles carried his father's middle name.
Charles and Jane Moore
DERRICK
MOORE
Derrick
Moore was born July 17, 1849 in Highgate, Vermont to David
Charles and Anna (Teachout) Moore.
The
first Census we find on Derrick is 1860 in Swanton, Vermont.
Derrick is 13. Derrick's father, Charles is 38, mother, Jane 32.
Their Real Estate Value is $350 and Personal Value $350. Charles is
listed as a farmer.
Derrick
married Julia E Morse April 4, 1869 in Swanton, Vermont. He is
19 and listed as a farmer.
By the
1870 Census it looks like they are in Swanton, Vermont living
with his maternal grandparents-the Donaldson family. Listed are
Derrick, Julia, John (60), Almya (56), Helen (17) and Amanda (19).
They are listed as farmers with a Real Estate Value of $2500 and
Personal value of $600.
1880
Census: they are in St. Albans, Vermont. Listed are Derrick, Julia
and Elizabeth Jane (8). He is listed as a Railroad Foreman.
In 1881
Derrick immigrates to Canada and the naturalization is 1894.
Julia
passes away May 1, 1885.
Derrick
married Caroline Edith Hinchey 17 Jul 1890, daughter of Robert
and Mary (Ryder) Hinchey. She was born 1867 in Niagra Falls,
Ontario, Canada. She brings into the marriage Ernest (8) and Daisy
(6). Interesting information that was passed on to Dianne we see:
Caroline Hinchey married John Drummond. John was an
engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railroad and ran the engines
for the supply trains that carried food, railway ties and supplies
from Ontario to the end-of-the-line as the railway moved west. John
was killed, in a train wreck, leaving Caroline with two small
children James Ernest (Ernie) and Daisy. Caroline kept the
CPR boarding house for the men who worked on the railhead. They
moved on across the prairies as the railroad advanced until they
reached Broadview in what is now Saskatchewan. In Broadview Caroline
met and married a railroad man named Derrick Moore.
In 1891
census we see Derrick is a Locomotive Railroad Engineer and they go
to the Free Church in Moose Jaw.
1901
they are still in Moose Jaw. Derrick is listed as a Railroad Engineer
and they are Presbyterian.
There is
an extensive obituary about Derrick that reads as follows:
Moose
Jaw Times Herald, December 25, 1902
Derrick
Moore Dead
The
announcement of the death of engineer Derrick Moore on December 19,
1902. It came as a surprise to the people of Moose Jaw. About two
months ago he had to give up his run on account of ill health. He
seemed to be suffering from a slight attack of typhoid but was able
to go around occasionaly and was uptown tow weeks ago.
He
always enjoyed good health and confinement seemed to depress him.
Toward s the last he gave right up and sank rapidly until Thursday
when the doctor saw that there was no hope of recovery. The immediate
cause of death was anemia.
The
funeral took place at the family residence on Saturday at 2:15
o'clock under the auspices of the Moose Jaw Lodge 25, AF & AM,
the decease being a member of Franklin Lodge No. 4, St. Albans,
Vermont. The funeral was largely attended by friends and
acquaintances. Pallbearers were: Joseph Lott, Jas. J. Wilson; Chas.
A. Gass; G. M. Annable; J. D. Reid and J. E. Battel.
The
deceased was 53 years old. He was married a second time in July 1890
and besides his bereaved wife, he leaves a daughter, Mrs. Dick of
Montreal;2 step-children, Miss Daisy Drummond who is attending Normal
in Regina, and Ernest Drummond, CPR fireman on this division and also
a little son, Adrian, aged 6 to mourn his loss.
He was
one of the oldest engineers on the CPR system having entered the
employ of the company as an engineer during construction. He
commenced railroading in St. Albans, Vermont, and came to Canada in
the 70s and for some time ran an engine on the old government road,
then known as the Quebec-Montreal Occidental and Ottawa Railroad.
When this road was given to the CPR, he came west and first reached
Moose Jay in 1893. For some years he had the paycar run and in 1886
was promoted to the regular passenger run from Moose Jaw to Broadview
and was in charge of this run continually until his death. He seldom
missed a run and never had an accident and he had probably the best
reord on the road. He always took an active interest in railroad
matters and was a most energetic brotherhood man. When Thundercreek
division No. 15 of B. of L. was organized in 1896, he was elected
Chief Engineer to which post he was elected each year.
He was a
strong temperance man, particularly so of late years and many a
temperance lecture he has given to wayward railroaders. He set a good
example in this connection and was no doubt the means of putting many
a young man on the right road.
He will
be missed in railroad circles and all along the division but
especially in Moose Jaw where he was known and esteemed by all...his
origin is Irish.
He was
53.
Children:
Elizabeth Jane 1871, Raymond D 1877-1877, Adrian Charles Robert
1895-1961.
ADRIAN CHARLES ROBERT MOORE
Adrian was born November 1, 1895 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada to Derrick and
Caroline Edith (Hinchey) Moore. In the 1901 Census in Moose Jaw, Canada Derrick is 50, Caroline 40, James Ernest 18
and Daisy 16 with Adrian who is 5. We already know that Adrian's father, Derrick, died when he was 7. The 1906 Census they are in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where Carrie, Adrian's mother,
is 40, Ernest Drummond 23, Daisy Drummond 20,(children from her first marriage) and
Adrian Moore 10. 1916 Census in Moose Jaw: notes that Adrian is 20 and his mother Caroline 50.
Adrian is listed as Irish. His profession: a druggist. They are Presbyterian. 1917 shows Adrian graduated from the University of Saskatchewan. Finally the 1921 Kindersley, Saskatchewan Census: Adrian is 25, listed as a Druggist
with an income of $1500. May 31, 1924 Adrian married Gertrude Mae Scott. They were married 37 years. November 28, 1924 they had this first daughter, Valerie Adrienne then September 12, 1926
Doreen Mae and last Derek Scott November 6, 1928 Adrian passed away October 13, 1961 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He was 66. Memories
from his grandchildren often include the gigantic model train set up he had in his basement.
Terry doesn't remember them getting to play with it...but admire it. I also want to note a message from “others researching the family history” Robert Hinchey
was a locomotive engineer and many of the Hinchey men were involved with the railroad in
one way or another so it would appear Adrian came by his love for trains naturally. It's also to be noted the Hinchey family were by profession musicians....except for Robert
who went the railroad way. NOTE: Adrian carried his maternal and paternal grandfather's names. Children: Valerie 1924-2000, Doreen 1926-2013, Derek 1928-1975
Adrian and Gertrude Moore DEREK “Dinty” SCOTT MOORE Derek Scott Moore was born November 6, 1928 to Adrian Charles Robert and Gertrude
Mae (Scott) Moore in Kelvington, Saskatchewan, Canada. He married Flora “Amy” Cameron
Smith May 15, 1950. They had two sons born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Richard Derek born February 6, 1951
and Terry Scott born May 20, 1953 but we see by 1957 the family is in Gillette, Wyoming,
USA as they have a daughter, Jan Marie, on December 6, 1957 and then Dianne Susan,
the last of their children, is born July 26, 1959 in Panguitch, Utah.
The family settled in the US with a long time spent in Houston, Texas but at time of death they
were in Denver, Colorado. Dinty passed away of a heart attack in his sleep June 10, 1975.
He was 47. His funeral was June 13th, 1975 in Denver, Colorado, but he was cremated and later returned
to Canada to be buried. His urn was sent back to Saskatoon, Canada in fall/winter of 1976.
He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery April 29, 1977. Woodlawn Cemetery Records Dinty made cable to drag behind boats off shore to map undersea floor for rock formations for
oil. Before that he was a land seismographer. Dinty was loved by all. He was found often working on projects around the house for his
beloved wife, Flo. At one time Flo officially sold Avon but Dinty sold more at his work. Dinty
was the one who balanced the order and sacked the products to be taken out. The family
often vacationed at lakes. Lake Greenwater in Saskatoon was a favorite place to go. A
treasured memory for Terry was when his father built a camper to put on the back of their
truck. NOTE: Derek carried his mother's maiden name Scott and great grandfather's name Derrick.
