Moore, Moher County Cork

Jeremiah Moore was born in Ireland between 1800 and 1810 per the 1840 Cenus, Rochester, New York, United States.  In Rochester , New York he was living with a George Moore.   Jeremiah was married 7 Feb 1839 in Ontario, Canada by a Wesleyan Methodist preacher to Martha Morgan.  The witnesses were Samuel Newman and John Morgan.  On the same day with the same witnesses were married Joseph Moore and Catherine Morgan.  Martha was not the sister of Catherine Morgan.  Both witnesses appear to have been related to Catherine Morgan.  It is not known if they were related to Jeremiah or Martha.  We believe that Jeremiah and Joseph Moore were related, possibly brothers, as they continure an association.

Jeremiah's oldest son was born 4 Jan 1840 in Cavan, Ontario, Canada.  The next child was born in 1842 in Rochester, New York.  The third child was born 13 Oct 1844, back in Cavan, Ontario, Canada.  Jeremiah Moore died about 1854 and his children and grandchildren had no further information about him.

Through Y-DNA testing Jeremiah's descendants match to a Moher family of Roman Catholics who are associated with the Cork County parishes of Brigown, Kilworth, Macroney and the barony Condons and Clangibbon.

And to the Moore family of Wesleyan Methodist associated with the Cork County locations: Joseph Moore born 15 Jun 1849 Ballydehob and died there 22 Sept 1891; his father Joseph Moore, born about 1810 in Kilgarriff Parish, Clonakilty, and married 1835 in Diocese of Cork and Ross, to  Mary Moore.   Joseph's father was John Moore and his  mother was Martha Skuce (born abt 1775) married in 1796 Diocese of Cork and Ross.  Looking for the siblings of Joseph Moore and this ancestors.  Could Jeremiah have been the brother or cousin of that Joseph.
