Baptism: 30 November 1827, in Urney
parish, county Cavan, Ireland
Notes:
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 on George's daughter Susan and her husband, Francis
Richmond, in Southwestern Wisconsin: Old
Crawford County
notes that "His wife was Susan Moore, whose home, Curricane, was a
noted one in Ireland. For generations her forbears were physicians and
achieved distinction in the medical profession"
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. Sources:

Birth: 1810, in

Baptism:
21 November 1810, in Urney parish, county Cavan, Ireland
Death:
1880, in Monroe, Green county, Wisconsin, United States, of a paralytic
stroke
Buried: in Montrose, Dane
county, Wisconsin,
United States
Notes:
See the
entry on Robert Argue for notes on the family's emigration to the
United States, and subsequent movements in Wisconsin. When Robert died
in 1855, Jane was left pregnant with their tenth, and eighth living,
child, and in the spring of 1855, a daughter, Matilda, was born. Robert
had purchased a quarter section of land in Section 35, town of Primrose
in Dane county in 1852, and after his death Jane Argue, and family
built a log house on the land in Section 36, Primrose township. Jane
and her family lived at this homestead until
1868 when her son Henry married and rented the homestead, at which time
she moved with her youngest daughters, Mary Ann and Matilda, first to
Belleview and then, in the spring of 1869, to Dayton, Green
county, Wisconsin (the 1870 census actually shows Exeter Town, Green
county, a couple of miles away). In 1870, Jane's real estate is
valued at $500 and
her personal estate at $200
and in 1877 to Monroe, Green county where Jane died in 1880.
Death:History
of North Washington (1903) and Worldconnect
entry on Rootsweb both have the death date as 1880; Thomas
William Argue (1945), has the death date as 1882, but I cannot find
Jane in the 1880 census (she is not living with Mary Ann and Matilda),
so the 1880 date seems more likely to me.

Mark Moore
Baptism: 11 March
1816, in Urney parish, county Cavan, Ireland
Notes: There are a number of
references to a Mark Moore who was a surgeon in Cavan in the 19th
century. It is not clear to me if these are referring to one or two
different men, and whether either both of those are "our" Mark,
baptised in 1816 the son of George Moore and Mary Foster.
The
first batch of references are to an army surgeon in the Cavan Militia
(later known as the 4th Battallion of Princess Victoria's Royal Irish
Fusiliers). This man was commissioned as assistant surgeon on 9 March
1964 (Hart's
Army List 1871) and promoted to Surgeon Major on 9 March 1876 (1883
list). "Our" Mark would have been 48 - rather old to be entering a
new career as a junior army surgeon.
The second set of
references are to a doctor in Cavan's civil administration. A Mark
Moore was entered into the Medical
Register
on 1 January 1850. His residence at the time of publication (1860
and 1866)
is listed as
Bailieborough, Cavan, with qualifications Lic. R. Coll. Surg. Irel.
(1849) and Lic. K. Q. Coll. Phys. Irel. (1854). Thom's Directory of
Ireland
for 1850
and 1852
lists Mark Moore as a Medical Officer of Fever Hospitals for
Bailieborough. In 1862 a Mark Moore worked as a Medical Officer of
Cavan Union
and
Medical Officer of Stradone Dispensary District, Cavan (Cavan County
Directory, 1862). Later medical registrations list Mark's address
in 1873
and 1879
as Farnham Street, Cavan. Finally, in 1900, Mark Moore appears in Parliamentary Papers vol 35 p653 in a
list of supreannuated union officers. mark is shown as a Medical
Officer of Workhouse in Cavan, aged 66 with 34 years of service as a
union officer, retired due to a permanent infirmity of body. He had
been receiving a salary of £190, was given a superannuated allowance of
£22 14s, with consent granted on 14 June 1893. Now this man, aged 66 in
1900, would have been born in 1833/4.
Finally, a Mark Moore
owned land Tanderagee
from 1848 to 1864 in Bailieborough, Cavan, Ulster, Ireland (Griffith Valuation 1848 - 1864)
So why
do we think that our" Mark has anything to do with these doctors?
Mainly that he comes from a line of Moore doctors oin Cavan. An entry
on Mark's sister Susan Richmond in Southwestern
Wisconsin: Old Crawford County
notes that "For generations her forbears were physicians and
achieved distinction in the medical profession"
