MAR: No mar rec found. The marriage of Elizabeth is proved by circumstantial evidence. She is called Elizabeth Sheldon in her father’s will in 1804. The same will mentions a granddaughter Mary, wife of Nathan Moore. Nathan is the son of Silas Moore, David’s brother. The 1850 census shows that Nathan’s wife Mary was 64 years old (1850 U.S. census [free schedule], Richmond, Washington Co., R.I., p. 248, dwelling 126, family135 [FHL #444761]). The death of this Mary Moore on 18 Apr 1876 shows that she was born in Richmond, the daughter of James and Elizabeth Sheldon, aged 89 years, 9 months, 1 day (Richmond Deaths, 1:25 [FHL #930852]). Hence, Elizabeth Sheldon is the dau of David Moore. Furthermore, the gravestone inscription of Elizabeth, wife of James Sheldon, indicates she was a Moore by birth. The marriage date is found in Frank L. Greene, DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH GREENE OF WESTERLY, R.I. (Albany, NY: Joel Munsell’s Sons, 1894), 40 (FHL #973.272 G83g).
