In researching my Harrison County Moores, I found a Thomas Moore listed in
the Family Tree Maker. This file did not say exactly when he was born, only
had approximate dates: WFT Est. 1729 - 1758 . It did not list where
his spouse was born only listed as Mary with a question mark. This family
was listed as having lived (and were buried) on the old J. J. Ammerman farm
in Harrison County. This particular Thomas was 75 when he died in 1823. That
would give him an approx. birth date of 1761.

Benjamin is the son of Samuel VanHook, who was married to Hannah Higgins,
