Notes	The families of this name who settled in the north part of this town were a branch of a numerous family which settled on the eastern slope of the Wataquodock range. The ancestral head appears to havebeen John Moore, b. in England about 1600, and was land proprietor in Lancaster in 1652. His s., John, b. in Sudbury, where his father had settled, was also a land proprietor of Lancaster ; his home at first was on the Nashua, but in 1665 he built a new house southeast of Wataquodock, and no record indicates that it was destroyed in the destruction of the town in 1676; he d. 1702. This John, Jr.,had a s., John, b. 1662, and a s., Jonathan, b. 1669, both of whom were at various times representatives to the General Court. Jonathan is supposed to have lived on the Thomas Fry farm, which was sold by his s., Jonathan, to John Fry in J 767. Had also a s., Isaac, who settled on Wheeler hill in Berlin, and he had Isaac, who succeeded him on the place, and another s., Abraham, who lived on the Avery Newton place in Bolton. ByNourse's "History of Worcester County" it appears the mills now owned by Otterson, known formerly as Pollard's mills in Bolton, were built by Jonathan Moore in 1714, but another account ascribes their erection to Thomas Sawyer, Jr., and by him deeded to Atnory Pollard for his kindness and fidelity.
