General Notes

A transcription of his obituary from the paper states that:

"Joseph Bartlett Baldwin Wrightson Moore died January 21, 1902 at the residence of E.W. Jewett. Mr. Moore was born in Boston, Mass., in April 1809, educated at Cambridge, Mass. and began life early on the high seas where he remained for 25 years.  He married in Melbourne, Australia, and accumulated a fortune there.
He is survived by five children, four of which survived him,  his wife dying in the 70's.  He was the son of Sir William Henry Moore, triplet brother to Sir Wrightson and Sir John Moore, English Generals.
  He leaves four Children, twenty-one grandchildren and six great grandchildren to mourn their loss."

This was from the Olney Advocate on January 31, 1902 (Olney, Richland County, Illinois).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A family story is told about John Barlett Baldwin Wrightson Moore. He had measles when in his 80's and walked with a cane afterwards. When he had measles he would not stay in bed, so the doctor came out and made a jacket of linen, soaked it in oil, and sewed him into it. then they told the family to let him set out on the porch if he wanted. The jacket soaked in oil was to keep the cold air from getting to him.

Genealogy notes on a family paper says in part:

Sir John, Henry, and Sir Wrightson were brothers.  Henry married the first time in England and had three daughters and one son.  Henry remarried in Greater Cambridge and had one son there.  The original writing says that John Bartlett Baldwin Wrightson Moore was the one born in Greater Cambridge, but someone else has penned in that the boy born in England was JBBW Moore.  So maybe that is where some of the confusion is coming from.  I does go on to show JBBW Moore getting married to an Elizabeth McGinnis in Melbourne about 1838.  It shows they had the following children:
Alonzo born 1840
Alfonso Raleigh born 1842
Louisa born 1844
Lucinda born 1846
William Alonzo born 1854

Transcription of a letter believed to be from Elizabeth's brother:

Carlton, Sept 22, '67
My Dear Sister,
      I received your kind letter dated 20th February.  I can say it was a surprise and agreeable one too.
I was rejoiced to hear from you many a time have we wondered at you long silence and suffered you dead.  You may readily conceive the joy that prevailed among us when we became acquainted that you not only lived, but that you Husband and family were living and well.
     You will doubtley (sp???=I can't read that word) should these few lines reach you better imagine than I can describe the joy in hearing form those we love who through circumstances both placed a great distance between still claim a share of our sympathy and love, love in which in consequence of the distance which separates us and the letter intercourse exchange, appear cold, till awakened by the touch or voice of those who have been partakers together of the innocent sport, pleasure e and happiness of childhood.  Tis so my sister with friends.  How much more with relations bound by the tie of birth and claim the endearing name of sister O Elizabeth.
     The remembrance of early day stops my writing, my heart is full, tears flow copiously down my cheek as I sit beneath the roof where our family was wont to dwell, once a happy and united family now so widely separated.  Shall we ever meet again in the world.  I fear not, but O my sister may I hope of meeting and yours in that better world even at the right-hand of God.  But to do this  we must depart from wickedness and serve the living God, :"for it is written the wicked shall be cast into hell and all nations that forget God."  I do not intend to say much at present about our family but will give further particulars when next I write.
     Father still live  Cooper is on the old place  Rezia is up at Rob (unsure of spelling there again)  Lewis is in New Zealand.  Thomas is in Melbourne  Susan is there also.  She is turned to be a christian.  O that all were indeed Christian.  You must content yourself at present with this.  If the blessed  God who (I hope I love permit me to write again, I will endeavour to give you a n account of my self and all within my reach that I think may interest you.  We heard Mr. Moore and his son was killed in the war how glad to find it not so.
     We could and I trust did symapthis with you all in feeling the sad affair of Civil War.  I believe it is ended and I thank God for it.  "I will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on me because he trusteth in me saith the Lord".  May this peace be yours my sister.  Give my kind love to Mr. Moore and all the family.  Now write to me my sister soon that I may know you get this and then you will hear again from your affet Brother Hugh McGenny (Again not positive of the spelling here.)

More family stories:
  
(1)  When they sailed from Australia to the  Isthmus of Panama, it took six months.  They did it via Panama (going that far by ship then overland to the United States) The adults then rode mules from there up to the United States, and they hired Negroes to carry the five children.  It cost them $50 per day for either a mule or a man to carry.  They were said to have carried gold in  belts around their waists, and Lucinda's mothers back gave her trouble because of the weight of the gold.  They made their way to New York, where John is said to have gone into politics, running for congress.  He lost all of his money doing this and then went to Northwest Iowa to homestead.  (The version of the story I heard was that they paid $5 a day, not $50. kmh.)
   
(2)  Another uncle of mine remembers being told of an incident when the Moore's had the store in Australia.  Lucinda was apparently alone in the store and an Aborigine came in and was giving her trouble.  She picked up a rifle (perhaps a muzzle loader) and pointed it at him.  He looked down the barrel at her and asked "You gottee Ballee?"  (As Lucinda emigrated when she was such a young child, it is more likely that this story referred to Elizabeth Cooper, Lucinda's mother. kmh.)
