. . . In 1708, at the age of twenty, Nathaniel Moore³ came to Hopewell Township, Hunterdon County. . . .

Nathaniel Moore's first appearance on record is on November 11, 1708,
when Mott sold out to John Cornwall, John Mott, Nathaniel Moore and Thomas
Reed. The land actually amounted to thirteen hundred acres. The village of
Pennington was built on this section of land, measuring about one mile and three-
eighths from north to .south and from east to west, embracing about two square
miles. In honor of Queen Anne it was called Queenstown. As early as 1747
it began to be called Pennington. . . .

The next record discovered of Nathaniel Moore shows that in 1715 he was
Lieutenant in the third company of New Jersey troops, the roster being at Albany
N. Y. . . .

As late as 1722, the list of taxables shows 138 men subject to taxation in
Hopewell, N. J., 16 of whom were single. There were 11 slaves, 785 cattle and
hor.ses and 480 sheep. Nathaniel Moore was taxed for 16 cattle and horses, 25
sheep, and 300 acres of land ; he was on the list of married men. . . .

In 1725 Nathaniel Moore was made a Justice, . . .

In Ewing churchyard a weather-woni tombstone is inscribed :
