Isaac Moore was born on 25 March 1753 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford, Virginia, the son of William Moore and Mary Green.1 Isaac served as a Private and Wagoneer in the Continental Troops under Captain Thomas West Company of Foot belonging to the 10th Virginia Regiment commanded by Major Samuel Hawes. The muster roles show him serving at Valley Forge in March 1778.2 The 10th Virginia Regiment was organized primarily from volunteers living in western and northern Virginia counties, including Stafford.3 Isaac moved to western Virginia sometime after the war. Between 1790 and 1796, he received four deed grants totaling 453 acres in Montgomery, Washington, and Russel Counties of Virginia, in an area called Morris’s Knob.4 The counties were reorganized and renamed over time. The Morris’s Knob area eventually became part of Tazewell County. The name of Isaac’s wife is not known but he had three daughters, Martha, Ann, and Katherine. Tazewell County Land Tax records for the year 1802 show his ‘estate’ paying the taxes on his land.5 He died in Russell County.6 Russell County deeds in 1822 and 1823 list his heirs as daughter Martha “Patty” Moore and her husband Henry Asbury, of Tazewell County, Katherine Wright of Tazewell County, and John and Ann Green of Russell County.6

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
