Ancestory of David Moore (1789 - 1826 or 1828) who married Leah Demarest.

The authors of "Genealogical History Of Hudson And Bergen Counties New Jersey" (1900, C.B. Harvey ed.) claim that brothers Peter E Moore and John W Moore are "descended in the seventh generation from Samuel Moore, an Englishman, who came with his wife Naomi from the Island of Barbadoes, West Indies."

Peter E. and John's parents (there was also at least one other brother, Albert Voorhis Moore who married Catherine Lozier) were Peter Demarest Moore and Elizabeth Voorhis . Peter D. Moore's parents were David Moore and Leah (or Lea) Demarest.

Does anyone know the source of this book's Moore line or the particular Moore line itself? One source has David's birth and death as 11-2-1789 and 4-6-1826 (or 1828).

According to the Demarest Genealogy, David and Leah had five children:
Peter born October 22 baptised December 16, 1810
William Shortwell born August 22 baptised September 23, 1813
Mary Ann born January 27 baptised March 28, 1816
Samuel born November 21, 1819 baptised January 6, 1820
David born September 13, 1823 baptised February 10, 1824

"Genealogical History Of Hudson And Bergen Counties New Jersey" also says:

"Samuel Moore and his wife Naomi emigrated to America from the Island of Barba does, V. I., in 1671-72. Barbadoes was then under the control of England, and both Samuel and his wife were English people. They landed and located at Boston, where their son, Francis Moore, was born about 1674. Francis Moore came to New York and from thence in 1696 to Bergen County (English Neighborhood), where he married Jannetje Laurens, daughter of Thomas Laurens, of Newtown, L. I. They eventually settled at English Neighborhood (near Ridgefield), in Bergen County, where some of their descendants have ever since lived. He had several children, the youngest of whom was Samuel, who married Sara (Michaels) Smith, another of the original settlers in Ridgefield Township. From this couple have sprung most of the Moores in Bergen County."

This would mean this Moore line was Samuel (1), Francis (2), Samuel (3), Unknown (4), David (5), Peter D. (6), Albert V. (7)
(provided the "Francis (2) and Samuel (3)" portion of the line is correct). Does anyone know who the unknown 4th Generation Moore is?
