Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to William Moore, a Revolutionary War soldier who was born in 1751 and died in 1839 in Lincoln County, North Carolina.
The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 7250, based on the Revolutionary War service of William Moore.
William Moore was born September 5, 1751, in Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted about April, 1780, and served three months as private in Captain John Barber's company of North Carolina rangers in which John Moore was lieutenant. He then served in various scouting parties until about September, 1781, when he volunteered as captain of a company of militia under Colonel Irwin and served a little over three months.
William Moore was allowed pension on his application executed October 30, 1832.
In 1832, he stated that when he was about six years of age he moved with his father and family, their names not given, to Anson County, North Carolina, and always lived there, that it was first Anson County, then Mecklenburg County, next Tryon County, and in 1832 it was Lincoln County.
William Moore died April 15, 1839, leaving the following children: Mary E. Holland, Miriam Nolen or Noland, Ezekiel, Robert and Lemuel. In 1853 it was stated that Mary G. Holland and Miriam Nolen or Noland were

the only ones then known to be living as the others had not been heard from for sometime. Mary E. Holland was living in Dallas, Gaston County, North Carolina, in 1854.
There are no data relative to soldier's wife.
In 1833, John Moore stated that he served with his brother, William, during the Revolution but he did not say that he was the John Moore (previously noted) who served as lieutenant. One Alexander Moore also stated in that year that his brother, William, served during the Revolution.
One William M. Holland appeared before the court in Gaston County in 1854 and testified that he was present at the death of William Moore. In 1833, Oliver W. Holland of Lincoln County, North Carolina, stated that he was well acquainted with the soldier, William Moore. The relationship that William M. Holland and Oliver W. Holland bear to Mary E. Holland is not shown.
There are no further family data.
Very truly yours

In his application he stated that he was born in Pennsylvania, September 5, 1751; that when about six years old, he, with his father and family, removed to Anson county, North Carolina, and that he had lived in the same State and county "which was first Anson then Mecklenburg, Tryon, and now Lincoln, ever since."
As to his military history, he alleged that he entered the service in April, 1780, for three months, as a private in a company of rangers under the command of Captain John Barber, "and after ranging through the Counties of Lincoln, Rutherford and the upper Counties of South Carolina in order to keep down the Tories" marched over the Catawba river into the County of Mecklenburg, and joined the army under the command of General Rutherford and Colonel William Graham; that after the expiration of this term of service, he remained with different scouting parties until September, 1781, when he volunteered as a captain of militia and was commissioned as such, but that his commission was lost; that he put his company with the regiment commanded by Colonel Irwin and Major White, in
