This from Martha M. Marble (Nov. 1998):
Apparently the above Ephraim Moore was a junior. An earlier Ephraim Moore
is recorded:
1. Ephraim - Lived between Loosing Swamp and Briary
2. 1769 Dobbs Tax list with son Zachariah
3. Zachariah on no further Tax List or voting list but one on 1800 Census
of Lenoir County, aged 26 - would this be a different generation
4. 1780 Tax List - Ephraim, Amaziah, Azariah
5. Voting List 1788 - Azariah, Azaziel
6. Greene County 1800 Census - Ephraim - probably a Jr.
7. 1790 Dobbs Census:
over 16 under 16 Females Ephraim: l m+16, 0 m-16, 0 f --lived in Contennea
Neck
Isaiah: l m+16, 5 m-16, 3 f
Emphrain: l m+16, 0 m-16, 2 f
Amaziah: l m+16, 3 m-16, 2 f
"My guess would be that Ephraim Sr was the father of Zachariah,
Isaiah, Emphrain, Jr. and Amaziah - liked those Bible names - if we assume
a person to be 16 when listed on the tax list then Zachariah would have
been born by 1753 making his father born by 1730; however the Zachariah
on the 1800 Census was born no earlier than 1774. Also Amaziah and Azariah
would have been born by 1759 to be on the 1780 Tax List. It thus appears
we have three generations. ACCOMACK COUNTY, VA NEEDS TO BE DOUBLE CHECKED
Ephraim Jr. probably married Sheany Scott daughter of Andrew Scott. Will
of Andrew Scott of Wayne County - left to his daughter Shany Moor and
son-in-law Ephraim Moore of Greene County - 1812."
