Kilmore parish, county Monaghan, Ireland, aged 77.

heart disease of a duration of two years.
Corcreeghy was the home of Anne's daughter, Emma Martha (Kilroy) Carson.

Notes: George's parents were
possibly Charles Moore and Jane Elliot. In Burke's History
of Colonial Gentry, an. Hon. Charles Moore of Sydney, Australia is
listed and described as a cousin of Mark Moore M.D. of Cavan, likely the
Mark Moore M.D. who is a son of George's. Assuming that the "cousin" is a
first cousin, then Charles's father, listed in the History
of Colonial Gentry as James Moore of Ballymacarne would be
George's brother, and their parents would be the Charles Moore (who died 3
January 1804) and Jane Elliot as shown in the History
of Colonial Gentry.
A biographical entry on George's daughter Susan and her husband, Francis
Richmond, in Southwestern Wisconsin: Old
Crawford County notes that "His wife was Susan Moore, whose home,
Curricane, was a noted one in Ireland. For generations her forbears were
physicians and achieved distinction in the medical profession"
A biographical entry in Montgomery
County,
TN on George Forbes Adams and Matilda Moore (George's daughter) claims
that Matilda's grandmother was "Mrs. Mary Moore, of Carricane, Ireland, and
was a relative of the famous Irish poet, Thomas Moore". This would indicate
that George's mother was Mary, and thus not Jane Elliot. Carrickane is
a townland situated approximately one mile west of Cavan town, in
Annagelliff parish, county Cavan.
An entry in History of North Washington
(1903) on George's grandson, John J. Argue, mentions that John's mother
(Jane Moore) "was a niece of Major Moore, who served under the Duke of
Wellington". If this is true, the Major Moore would be brother of George's,
but I can find no further record of him.
George owned land Tanderagee from 1848 to 1864 in Bailieborough, Cavan,
Ulster, Ireland.

Birth: 1810, in Ireland
Baptism: 21 November 1810, in Urney parish,
county Cavan, Ireland
Death: 1880,
in Monroe, Green county, Wisconsin, United States, of a paralytic stroke
Buried: in Montrose, Dane county, Wisconsin,
United States
Notes: See the entry on Robert Argue for
notes on the family's emigration to the United States, and subsequent
movements in Wisconsin. When Robert died in 1855, Jane was left pregnant
with their tenth, and eighth living, child, and in the spring of 1855, a
daughter, Matilda, was born. Robert had purchased a quarter section of land
in Section 35, town of Primrose in Dane county in 1852, and after his death
Jane Argue, and family built a log house on the land in Section 36, Primrose
township. Jane and her family lived at this homestead until 1868 when her
son Henry married and rented the homestead, at which time she moved with her
youngest daughters, Mary Ann and Matilda, first to Belleview and then, in
the spring of 1869, to Dayton, Green county, Wisconsin (the 1870 census
actually shows Exeter Town, Green county, a couple of miles away). In
1870, Jane's real estate is valued at $500 and her personal estate at $200
and in 1877 to Monroe, Green county where Jane died in 1880.
Death:History
of North Washington (1903) and Worldconnect
entry
on Rootsweb both have the death date as 1880; Thomas
William
Argue (1945), has the death date as 1882, but I cannot find Jane in the
1880 census (she is not living with Mary Ann and Matilda), so the 1880
date seems more likely to me.

Mark Moore
Baptism: 11 March 1816, in Urney parish,
county Cavan, Ireland
Notes:
There are a number of references to a Mark Moore who was a surgeon in Cavan
in the 19th century. It is not clear to me if these are referring to one or
two different men, and whether either both of those are "our" Mark, baptised
in 1816 the son of George Moore and Mary Foster.
The first batch of references are to an army surgeon in the Cavan Militia
(later known as the 4th Battalion of Princess Victoria's Royal Irish
Fusiliers). This man was commissioned as assistant surgeon on 9 March 1964 (Hart's
Army
List 1871) and promoted to Surgeon Major on 9 March 1876 (1883
list). "Our" Mark would have been 48 - rather old to be entering a new
career as a junior army surgeon.
The second set of references are to a doctor in Cavan's civil
administration. A Mark Moore was entered into the Medical
Register on 1 January 1850. His residence at the time of
publication (1860
and 1866)
is listed as Bailieborough, Cavan, with qualifications Lic. R. Coll. Surg.
Irel. (1849) and Lic. K. Q. Coll. Phys. Irel. (1854). Thom's Directory of
Ireland for 1850
and 1852
lists Mark Moore as a Medical Officer of Fever Hospitals for Bailieborough.
In 1862 a Mark Moore worked as a Medical Officer of Cavan Union and Medical
Officer of Stradone Dispensary District, Cavan (Cavan
County Directory, 1862). Later medical registrations list Mark's
address in 1873
and 1879
as Farnham Street, Cavan. Finally, in 1900, Mark Moore appears in Parliamentary Papers vol 35 p653 in a list
of supreannuated union officers. mark is shown as a Medical Officer of
Workhouse in Cavan, aged 66 with 34 years of service as a union officer,
retired due to a permanent infirmity of body. He had been receiving a salary
of £190, was given a superannuated allowance of £22 14s, with consent
granted on 14 June 1893. Now this man, aged 66 in 1900, would have been born
in 1833/4.
Finally, a Mark Moore owned land Tanderagee from 1848 to 1864 in
Bailieborough, Cavan, Ulster, Ireland (Griffith
Valuation 1848 - 1864)
So why do we think that our" Mark has anything to do with these doctors?
Mainly that he comes from a line of Moore doctors in Cavan. An entry on
Mark's sister Susan Richmond in Southwestern
Wisconsin: Old Crawford County notes that "For generations her
forbears were physicians and achieved distinction in the medical profession"
