Jesse Moore was born on April 11, 1743 in Goochland County, Virginia, to John Moore and Judith Walker. He married Alley Mildred Johnson, who was also from Virginia, and they had eight daughters and two sons. In 1772, Jesse and Alley moved to Burke County, North Carolina, where they settled in the John’s River Valley. Jesse named his land Globe, and he is believed to have been the first permanent white settler in the valley. He cleared the fields and built a cabin that stood until 1938.
Jesse served in the American Revolution as a private in the 10th North Carolina Regiment of the Continental Army. He fought in several battles, including the Battle of Camden and the Battle of Guilford Court House. He received a land grant of 640 acres for his service.
Jesse died on March 10, 1827 in Globe, which became part of Caldwell County in 1841. He was buried in his own cemetery, along with his wife Alley, who died in 1826. In his will he divided his estate among his children and grandchildren, and he also freed his eleven slaves.
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.
