Lieut. Samuel Moore⁴ and Sarah Fish had

. . .

580. Dr. William⁵, b. Jan. 17, 1754, m. Feb. 4, 1782, Jane Fish⁴ (Nathaniel³, m. Jane Berrien (Peter), Nathan², Jonathan¹), b. 1757; he d. April 22, 1824 (will). [618]

. . .

580. Dr. William Moore⁵ (Lieut. Samuel⁴, Benjamin³, Capt. Samuel², Rev. John¹) and Jane Fish⁴ (Nathaniel³, m. Jane Berrien (Peter), Nathan², Jonathan¹) .

Dr. William Moore⁵ was a physician. "This ornament [Footnote: Thompson's History of Long Island.] of the profession and of Christianity, was born at Newtown, L. I., in 1754. He received the rudiments of a classical education under the tuition of his elder brother, afterwards Bishop Moore, and President of Columbia College. He attended the lectures on medicine delivered by Drs. Clossey and Samuel Bard.

"In 1778 he went to London, and thence to Edinburgh, and in 1780 graduated Doctor of Medicine, when he delivered a dissertation on the Bile.

"For more than forty years he continued unremittingly engaged in the arduous duties of an extensive practice, particularly in midwifery, estimating his number of cases at about three thousand. His medical papers may be found in the American Medical and Philosophical Register, the New York Medical Repository and the New York Medical and Physical Journal. For many years Dr. Moore was President of the Medical Society of the County of New York, and an upright and vigilant Trustee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. On his death the college recorded their testimony of his pre-eminent worth. He was Trustee of Columbia College from 1790 until his death, and chairman in 1823.

"Dr. John W. Francis, at that time Professor of Obstetrics in the college, in his lecture to the class, remarked of this estimable man, as follows : 'Before I conclude,' says he, 'permit me to pay my feeble tribute of homage and respect to the memory of the late Dr. Moore, recently called from among us by the fiat of Providence : a bright exemplar of the virtues and the important qualifications demanded of the practitioner in that department of the profession, the duties of which I have attempted to exhibit. I am persuaded that I do not allow feelings of personal friendship to prevail over the decisions of the severest scrutiny, when I assert that no member of our profession has exhibited in his life and conduct, a more beautiful example of the dignity and benignant lustre of the medical character.

" 'Honored for many years with his friendship, and admitted to the privilege of his conversation, I was early taught to look upon him with a respect and veneration which all my subsequent acquaintance only served to strengthen and confirm. Thousands among us can testify to the mildness and urbanity of his manners, to his tender and watchful regard for the suffering patient and sympathizing attendants, to his warm-hearted benevolence of feeling, and devotedness to the good of all whom his eminent attainments, or the lesson of a pure and unspotted life could profit, to his strictness of moral principle and uniform devotion to the sacred obligations of religion.

" 'It was but a few months ago that the governors of this institution were honored with his co-operation and enlightened by his counsels. How great their loss has been, can only be known to those who were acquainted with the liberality of his views, and his freedom from every mean and selfish bias.

" 'Dr. Moore rose to his great eminence by the force of personal and professional merit. A liberal education had prepared him to commence with advantage his medical pursuits, and amid the toil and cares of his laborious career, he ever continued to recur with ardor and delight to those classical studies, in which he had been imbued in his youth. Seldom, indeed, has it happened that the two professions were adorned with such attainments and such private excellence, as were exhibited in the instances of Dr. Moore and his brother Benjamin, the late pious and venerable bishop of the church. While we cherish their worth, let the regret at our bereavement give place to a noble emulation of their pure virtue and active benevolence.'

"That he was among the most eminent and useful men of which the annals of medicine can boast, is fully established by the disinterested observations of his able, learned and scientific contemporary, and his name adds one more to the already extended list of great and good men, in almost every department of useful knowledge which graces the history of Long Island."

Dr. Moore was a vestryman of Trinity Church.

The following extract from a letter from Miss Maria Theresa Moore, his granddaughter, gives a pleasant picture of family life : " Aug. 29, 1899. Thank you for the pleasure you've given me by that account of my grandfather (Dr. Wm. Moore). I remember the dear old gentleman coming in often, with his knee-breeches, and boots, with a little tassel on each, which we children always investigated, and our Christmas visit to him and grandmother, when each child received a present. This custom was carried on by my uncle, N. F. Moore, whilst in Columbia College, and after he left New York and lived with Uncle William at Garrison, he sent to each niece and god-child $10 in gold." Miss Moore, of Stamford, Conn., has a silver spoon marked W. M. T.--William and Jane Moore.

Dr. William Moore⁵ in his will, dated August 21, 1810, probated April 17, 1824, ordered his executors to purchase half of the vault of his brother-in-law, Thomas Barrow ; leaves during her life to his wife, Jane, the property at the corner of Nassau and Liberty Streets, rented by Robert Hill ; to his son, Nathaniel F. Moore, his folio Bible and his miniature by Carbonora and his mother's, by Sharpless, his profile picture by Sharpless to his daughter, Maria Theresa.

Jane Fish⁴ was the daughter of Nathaniel Fish³, of Newtown, and Jane Berrien, the daughter of Peter Berrien, who married Elizabeth Edsall (Peter Jansen (Cornells Jansen, m. Janet Stryker, Jan Stryker, m. 1652, Lambertgi Sanbenny)), the granddaughter of Nathan² and ____ ____, the great-granddaughter of Jonathan¹ and Mary ____.
