Correspondence 07/06/02 passenger #65 Hobbs
I am a descendant of William Hobbs, who may be the William Hobbs on the 
ship Hendrik Hudson passenger list from London & Portsmouth dated 
June 26, 1843.

According to family tradition, he married Emily Braine and lived in 
Montreal, Canada.  Their children were Alice, Harry, Mary, Grace, and 
Alexander Hobbs (circa 1870-1949), my great grandfather.  Alexander 
married Louise Allen of Lowell, Massachusetts.

I would like to find more information about my ancestors Alexander and 
his father William Hobbs, and his mother Emily Braine.

Correspondence 07/27/02 Captain Moore
Captain George Moore was born in 1792 in Littlehampton, England to William 
and Mary Hammond Moore.  He began his maritime career as a cabin boy when 
he was ten years old. By 1815 he was 1st mate of the Caldicott Castle which 
had been chartered as a tender to the British fleet.  In 1817 he emigrated 
to the United States where he married Emily Matilda Warner, first settling 
in New York City and then in what is now Old Lyme, Connecticut.   Their 
children were Emily Edgar, Washington Irving (named for the author who 
was a friend), Kathleen O., and Daniel Kingsland (also a sea captain).  
Two other children, George and John H. died young. Capt. George was in 
command of the Comet in 1821.  He became one of the founders of the London 
Line which plied between New York and London, England. When George Moore 
died in 1849, he was part owner of the American Eagle, Northumberland, 
Hendrik Hudson, Devonshire and the Westminster.

Richard Hale Moore, the nephew of Capt. George Moore, was born to Thomas 
and Sarah Hale Moore of Sussex , England in 1820.  He was fostered as a 
son by Captain George Moore.  Among the ships he commanded were the 
American Eagle, the Adriatic and the Saybrook.  He and his wife, Mary, had 
at least one daughter Florence Mary.
According to a family story, he sailed out of New York Harbor in 1865 and 
was never heard from again.

Daniel Kingsland Moore, son of Captain George Moore, also became a sea captain, 
commanding the American Eagle for a time.  In 1869 Daniel sailed for Shanghai 
in charge of the Good Hope but died after being on duty for many hours during 
rough seas.  He was buried at sea off the island of Madagascar at only 28 
years of age.

As the clipper ships gave way to the steamers, the remaining members of the 
Moore family were forced to migrate west in search of a new way of life.
