 The exact services of Richard Barry in the Revolution have not yet been found, but he must have been patriot. for 1t ts stated that the sons-ln-law of Charles Moore "all acted prominent parts on the side of the colonies"
 Charles Moore was a noble old patriot. A sketch of him Is given in the History was born in Ireland in 17H and died In 1905. Mary. his wife. was born in lI3S and died In 1895. They emigrated from the north of Ireland to Pennsylvania, GSrona mafn nsy is snd Ssne l % Sas among the very first settlers. They be- longed to the Scotch-Irish race. and 1t is thought that the ancestors of Charles Moore went to Ireland with the Duke of Hamilton, to whom large landed pos sessions were given by the King of Eng land from the confiscated estates of Irish noblemen. It Is said that the Moores were related to the Hamiltons. and that either Charles Moore's mother or his wife's mother was Hamilton.
 Charles Moore took up grant or lana in 176S on Tyger River, ten miles south lived and died, and upon which both lie buried, with marble tombstones to their land on file in North Carolina as a school teacher, and the tradition Is that he was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, OF of Oxford.

 In Landrum's Colonial and Revolu- tionary History of Upper South Carolina, Page 352, an incident is related which gives faint idea of the condition of the fnf Aa anA At Wings and Tories were arrayed against each other in bloody conflict.

Here Cap tain Steadman, young man Of promise, was lying sick. He was killed in bed. Two other young men, knowing what their fate would be If captured. attempt ed to make their escape by running. They were shot down within few hundred yards of the house and were were buried at at beginning of the family burying ground of the Moores and Barrys, and which Is only few miles west of the old Moore residence. The tradition is that Cap tain Steadman was engaged to MT. Moores daughter.
 History of Edgeheld Page 1ss. states that in i7s0. after the fall of Charleston. Col. Samuel Hammond and thirty-two men escaped to North Carolina. On the way. concealing themselves by day and travelling by night they came finally to the house of Charles Moore and T. liar vey and were kindly cared for by them and their necessities supplied, while they waited to hear of party of Whigs whom they could join.
 It is evident from these references that Charles Moore was noted Whig, and that his house was frequented by our soldiers for rest and help in sickness and otherwise, and that although too old for active service, he devoted his time and means to the aid of the colonies. l..
