The following extract is from Brown, 1854:18-XX

p. 18 About the year 1726, James Moore and and his brother Joseph, left Ireland, and settled in Chester county, Pennsylvania. Joseph died in 1728, whilst engaged in preparing fo the miistry. James married Jane Walker, a descendant of the Rutherfords of Scotland.

p. 19 The family Bible which was brought by the Walkers from Ireland, having in it the register for several generations, was in the possession of some of their descendants, since the commencement of the prestent century. It may still be in existence somewhere in Kentucky; and if so, is either in the possession of some one bearing the name of Walker, or whose ancestors borre that name. John Walker and his son-in-law, James Moore, left Pennsylvania and settled in Rockbridge county, Virginia, near the Jump Mountain. James Moore died about 1792, and his wife some two years after him. They were both burie3d in a graveyard near to where they had lived. No stone markes the grave of either, for it was not until a later period that the custom of marking particular graves in that way, was introducted into that part of the country. Their emorial is written on more lasting monunmnets in the character of their descendants.
