Hello,

This morning I subscribed to this List and posted my first query, and this
afternoon I spent a few minutes looking at the Archives of the List. I
was searching for the MOORE surname, with information on the 1500's and
1600's. One of the recent postings to the List mentioned three families
who were very well-to-do: MOORE, HARRISON, and GOLDING .. in the
1700's.

One of the men I am trying to learn more about is a Golden or Golding MOORE
who was probably born in Essex County right around 1610. All the rest of
the MOORE men who "went to America" in the 1630's and 1640's had given
names like Francis, Samuel, John, Edmund, etc. And, several different
researchers are curious about the man with the given name, Golden/Golding.

Because of what I just read in a query from one month ago, I am now curious
whether the man, Golding MOORE, had something to do with the GOLDING family
in Essex County, England.

The first we know of Golden/Golding MOORE he is Age ~32 and just arriving in
Cambridge, MA, USA, in 1642. We do not know if he was married before
leaving England, or had a first marriage before arriving in the MA Bay
Colony. A few years later he married in Cambridge, MA.

.. I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Most of my ancestors can be
traced back to the 1600's Massachusetts Bay Colony. But, I have one set
of great-grandparents who were "Home Children." They left Liverpool,
England, in 1874, and, with their siblings, went to different homes in Nova
Scotia. .. Another great-grandfather was a grandchild of a set of
ancestors who migrated from County Sligo, Ireland, to Quebec Province,
Canada, in 1823. His wife was an infant when her parents migrated from
Glasgow, Scotland, to Boston, MA, in 1857. ..
My main research is on the KIDDER surname, and my line went from MA to NH to
Canada (NS/NB) and this line ended up in Washington County, Maine, in 1800.

Thank you for your time.
