Moore- Stevens was the son and heir of Thomas Moore- Stevens( 1782- 1832).
He had been brought up in the expectation of becoming the heir of John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle( 1750- 1842), of Stevenstone, who died childless and was his great- grandmother's nephew.
However, Lord Rolle instead left his fortune to Hon. Mark Trefusis, who changed his name to Mark Rolle( d. 1907), the nephew of his second wife Louisa Trefusis, a daughter of Baron Clinton.
He married in 1850 Elizabeth Anne Johnson, daughter of Rev. Peter Johnson.

He served as a JP on the Quarter Sessions Court of Devon, and Winscott House was built with its own" Magistrate's Room" with a separate entrance.
He was especially reactionary and old- fashioned and at the Mid- Summer sessions of 1882 had declared his object was" to get rid of traction- engines altogether".

He was colonel of the South Devon Militia and was instrumental in forming the Royal 1st Devon Yeomanry and the North Devon Yeomanry.
He was the largest landowner in Devon, with about 55,000 acres centred on his seats of Stevenstone in the north and Bicton in the south- east, and thus was highly influential in that county.
He promoted and financed several large engineering projects, including the Rolle Canal in North Devon, Rolle Quay in Pottington, Barnstaple, and two road bridges over the River Torridge near Torrington, at Town Mills and Weare Giffard and the sea-wall at Exmouth.
He was an active donor to charitable works in Devon, being patron of his family's almshouses at Livery Dole, Exeter, Otterton, Great Torrington and St Giles in the Wood and of two schools in Otterton.
Physically he was a large man, and made no pretension to an intellectual approach.
Nathaniel William Wraxall wrote of him" Nature had denied him all pretension to grace or elegance.
Neither was his understanding apparently more cultivated than his manners were refined.
He reminded me always of a Devonshire rustic, but he possessed plain common sense, a manly mind, and the faculty of stating his ideas in a few strong words."
In later life he caused a disturbance at the coronation of Queen Victoria when he fell on the stairs of the throne.
