George
Moore
Mary
Foster
George's parents were possibly Charles Moore and Jane Elliot.
In
Burke's History
of Colonial Gentry, an. Hon. Charles Moore of Sydney,
Australia is
listed and described as a cousin of Mark Moore M.D. of Cavan, likely
the Mark Moore M.D. who is a son of George's. Assuming that the
"cousin" is a first cousin, then Charles's father, listed in the History of Colonial Gentry as
James Moore of
Ballymacarne would
be George's brother, and their parents would be the Charles Moore (who
died 3 January 1804) and Jane Elliot as shown in the History of Colonial Gentry.
A
biographical entry in Montgomery
County, TN on George Forbes Adams and Matilda Moore (George's
daughter) claims that Matilda's grandmother was "Mrs. Mary Moore, of
Carricane, Ireland, and was a relative of the famous Irish poet, Thomas
Moore". This would indicate that George's mother was Mary, and thus not
Jane Elliot. Carrickane is a townland situated aproximately
one
mile west of Cavan town, in Annagelliff parish, county Cavan.
An
entry
in History of North Washington
(1903)
on George's grandson, John J. Argue, mentions that John's mother
(Jane Moore) "was a niece of Major Moore, who served under the
Duke of Wellington". If this is true, the Major Moore would be brother
of George's, but I can find no further record of him.
George
owned land Tanderagee
from 1848 to 1864 in Bailieborough, Cavan, Ulster, Ireland.

United

History

entry on Rootsweb both have the death date as 1880; Heidi
Girton, citing Thomas
William Argue (1945), has the death date as 1882, but I cannot find
Jane in the 1880 census, so the 1880 date seems more likely to me.
