He was born 19 Feb 1765 at Worcester, MA⁷⁰, died 5 Jun 1833, aged 68y at Worcester^70,66, was buried at Worcester, in Mechanic Street Cemetery⁶⁶, son of Asa MOORE and Mary COOK. There were possibly two contemporary Williams in Worcester both married to Marys, thus accounting for the two cases of children born in the same year but not the same date. It is not obvious which children should go with which William, except that William Gates Moore was presumably the son of Mary (Gates) Moore, and, similarly, the Sally Moore who married Peter Rice and named her first daughter Mary Gates Rice was presumably the daughter of Mary (Gates) Moore. Also, it seems very likely that the Mary Moore who married Peter Rice's brother Timothy was a sister to Sally.
