"There has been some confusion about these two brothers, but it is now known that there were two sons named Moore. This is proved by the will of Nicholas Moore who adopted Phoebe Wilkinson, and in 1617 left all his property to her during her life, and after her death to 'Moore Fauntleroy, eldest son of John and Phoebe Fauntleroy, and in default to Moore Fauntleroy, the younger son of the said John and Phoebe Fauntleroy'. The two Moores may have been twins, but all we can be certain of is that they were born between 1610 and 1617, they not being listed in the parish register with the other children."2Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 10.
"Col. Moore Fauntleroy was probably actuated by a spirit of adventure and a desire to amass a forture when he either followed or accompanied Col. Toby Smith to Virginia in 1643. He brought his brother George Fauntleroy with him, but nothing further is known of him. He also brought with him a confirmation of his coat of arms which had been issued to him in England in 1633, a copy of which is given elsewhere in this book. On Feb. 20, 1643-4, Col. Moore Fauntleroy patented 250 acres of land in Upper Norfolk County (now Nansemond Co.) on Chuckatuck Sound, and this, his first home in Virginia, was called "Royes Rest". On the same day he patented 1400 acres on Mt. Lawson Bay, near Beverley Creek in the western part of Nansemond County adjoining Haye's plantation in Isle of Wight County."3Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 11-12.
In 1650 Col. Moore Fauntleroy patented 350 acres on the south side of the Rappahannock River in what was then Lancaster County. He later assigned this land to Col. Toby Smith. In the same year he patented, 5350 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock in Lancaster County (now Richmond Co.) on both sides of Farnham Creek. This was called the "Farnham Grant". He later patented 450 acres on the north side of Swann Bay. which he subsequently relinquished. He also patented 1800 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock and west side of Bushwood Creek, next to the land of William Underwood. This tract was called "Mangorite", and was adjacent to the modern bridge which crosses the river here to the town of Tappathannock. In addition he patented 700 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock west of New Haven Creek, which he later relinquished.
"Col. Fauntleroy was evidently a Royalist or Cavalier. The following is taken from Campbell's History of Virginia,1859, page 210: Quote:
During the year 1648 Beauchamp Plantagenet, a Royalist with a high flown name, flying from the fury of the grand rebellion, visited America in behalf of a company of adventurers in quest of a place of settlement, and in the course of his explorations came to Virginia. At Newport News he was hospitably entertained by Capt. Matthews, Mr. Fauntleroy, and others, finding free quarter everywhere.
In the early days of the Virginia Colony a grant of 50 acres was allowed for each person transported, and this was called a "headright". It is a on record that Col. Moore Fauntleroy transported 179 persons. Their names are listed in his patents, many of them were people of prominence. Most of the patents are signed by Sir William Berkeley, who was then the Royal Governor of Virginia. Col. Fauntleroy was an owner or part owner of ships, as in 1653 we have it recorded that he lost a sloop.
We do not know the exact spot in the Northern Neck where Col. Fauntleroy made his home. However, we can be pretty sure that he lived near Farnham Creek on a portion of his Farnham Grant, later moving to a spot on Mangorite Creek, known as the "stone house field", now, a part of the Sabine Hall plantation. He was constantly engaged in acquiring and selling lands, and probably moved on up the river as the English settlement advanced.
The first court ever held in Lancaster County was at his house, and is recorded in Book 1, page 1 of the county records. Quote:
At a court holden for Lancaster at ye house of Capt. More ffantleroy on ye first of Jany 1651-2. Present: Mr. Toby Smith, Mr. James Bagnall, also;- Mr. David ffox, Mr. James Williamson, Mr Geo. Tayloe, Mr. Geo. Gilson, Mr. William, Mr. William Underwood. In the records of Old Rappahannock County, which was formed out of Lancaster, we read in Vol. I, page 12 that Col. More Fantleroy is appointed on a committee of six to sign a treaty with the Indians in September 1657.
In Bishop Mead's Old Churches and Virginia, in Vol 2 pages 478 to 481 is a sketch of the Fauntleroy family in Virginia, and in this sketch Bishop Meade gives a copy of a deed from the king and great men of the Rappahannock Indians to Moore 1 Fauntleroy. The date of this deed is the 4th of April 1651. By it the Indians convey to Moore Fauntleroy a vast tract of land stretching from the Rappahannock to the Potomac River and from Rappahannock Creek Morattico Creek. This deed from the Indians, although confirmed by the Assembly, gave Col. Fauntleroy trouble, as he became involved in disputes with both the Indians and the Assembly over the ownership of the land, and finally most of it was taken from him. The sketch of the family containing this deed will be found elsewhere in this book. From Henings Statutes of Virginia, Vol. 2, page 14, Quote:
Assembly of 1660; Whereas the committee hath reported that Col. Fantlaroy hath from the Indians a conveyance of his land, and an acknowledgment made by them, but not according to act, and that this conveyance hath reference to a former deede whereby it is pretended by Coll. Fantleroy that it evidently appeared hee had made the Indians satisfaction but neither the deede nor the evidence appearing, and Coll. Fantleroy petitioning for a referrence upon pretence of further evidence, it is ordered that a referrence be granted him till the next assembly, that in the meane time Coll. Carter acquaint the Indians what care the Assembley takes to preserve their rights, and that the said Coll. Carter bee impowered in the said Indians behalfe to prosecute their cause the next assembly.
In 1661 Col. Fauntleroy was in trouble with the Assembly "for Seizing and binding the King and chief man of the Indians", and was declared incapable of holding any office in the Colony, and required to give security for his future good behavior toward the Indians and the Assembly. At the same session other early settlers were fined for offenses against the Indians, and it appears that the Royal Governor and the Assembly were very zealous in protecting the Indians in all their rights, often to the detriment of the colonists. This policy resulted in raids by the Indians upon some of the settlers on the outer fringe of the Colony, and was later the cause of Bacon's Rebellion in 1676."4Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 14.
"Col. Moore Fauntleroy was evidently a man of high and fearless temper. On March 7, 1658-9, the House of Burgesses, of which he was a member, suspended him for a contempt of the House, he being absent when the speaker was chosen, having "moved against him as if clandestinely elected and taxed the House with unwarrantable proceedings therein". But the next day he acknowledged his error and was readmitted to his seat."5Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 15.
" In the Lancaster county records Vol. 1, pages 11 & 97, appear two contracts made in 1658 by Col. Fauntleroy with John Remuse and Nicholas Wadilloc, millwrights for the construction of mills on his plantations. These mills were for the grinding of Indian corn, and were operated by oxen.
Col. Moore Fauntleroy was elected to the House of Burgesses and served for years, as follows: In 1644, 45, and 47 from Upper Norfolk County; in 1652, 53, 54 and 56 from Lancaster County; in 1659 and 60 from Old Rappahannock County. He was a captain in the Virginia Militia, and was promoted to major, lt. colonel, and in 1656 to colonel.
In the records of Old Rappahannock County, Vol. 1, page 33, we find this item in the will of Francis Slaughter circa 1656. "to my brother-in-law, Coll. Moore Fauntleroy, my book entitled Hooker 's Ecclesiastical Policy. In Vol. 1, page 89, from the will of Augustine Withey, 1659. "Visited with sickness. To be buried at the will and pleasure of my Loveing friend More Fantleroy. My debts to be paid .... appoint my friend More Fantleroy, Gent. my sole Executor, bequeathing to him all my estate."."6Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 16.
" It seems certain that Col. Moore Fauntleroy married first a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Underwood, and that she died leaving no issue.
As we have no records of the first marriage it is important we should give the indirect proof. Mrs. Margaret. Underwood married 2nd John Upton, and 3rd Capt. Thomas Lucas. Upon the occasion of her third marriage there was a marriage settlement, dated April 10, 1657, in which Col. M. F. is named as a trustee, even before her son, seems significant, and M. F. was then married to Mary Hill. Mrs. Margaret Underwood had four other, daughters all probably by her first husband. They were:
Elizabeth, who married Francis Slaughter, 2nd, Capt. John Catlett. Francis Slaughter, in his will, made about 1656, bequeathed a book to "my brother-in-law, Capt. Moore Fauntleroy".
Margaret, married Capt. Humphrey Booth, gave a P. of A., August 24, 1660, to "my well beloved Brother, Coll. More Fantleroy".
Sarah, married Col. Wk. Peirce of Westmoreland County, who took out in his own name a patent for 5054 acres of lands and afterwards transferred it, in 1680, to M.F.'s son, William.
Anne, married James Williamson. We do not know the relationship, but William Williamson of Lancaster, in his will in 1670, left a legacy to M. F.'s three children, William, Elizabeth & Moore, which was afterwards given to them by Col. Wm. Lloyd, their step-father.
Capt. Wm. Underwood, son of Mrs. Margaret Underwood, in 1652 gave a cow to M.F.'s daughter Elizabeth, stating that he and his wife were witnesses as to his baptism.
These gentlemen, Wm. Underwood, Francis Slaughter, Humphrey Booth, Wm. Peirce, and James Williamson, were all Justices, and some of them Burgesses. Voting together they exercised a great deal of authority in both county and state. They all patented land on the same day, May 22, 1650, on the north bank of the Rappahannock, extending for 25 miles, counting in the smaller tracts in between taken up by others. Moore Fauntleroy also patented a tract of land for his "mother-in-law" making use of his own headrights. This is believed to refer to Mrs. Margaret Underwood."7Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 17.
The following reference to the death of Moore Fauntleroy is taken from The Calvert papers, Vol. 1, pages 236 and 237, Quote: 3d August 1663. I receiv's this letter & a letter from yr Lo'pp for Coll. Fontele Roy & a warrant for him, both whch I carried wth me to Virginia, but afore I could gett it sent to him he was dead, soe that I have the warrant & shall keepe it untill yr Lo'pp shall further direct in't...."
"died and left no will. The inventory of his estate was filed July 9, 1664, in Old Rappahannock County.

"An interesting sidelight on the marriage agreement between Col. Moore Fauntleroy and Mary Hill is found in the court records of Westmoreland County, and is dated 29th August 1660, Quote:
"The Deposition, of Thomas Johnson aged forty years or thereabouts sworn and examined sayeth: That your deponent living at ye house of Thomas Hill in Stanly Hundred when Collonall Fanteleroy marryed ye Daughter of Mr. Hill ye Said Hill giving a small portion with her, told ye said Fantleroy that that small portion should not bee all for at ye Death of his father hee would make her worth an hundred pounds sterling for hee Loved her well but would not have his wife to know it by Reason shee did not Love her as well as ye rest of her children And if she knew of that porton it would breeds discontent betweene them for which Reason it was not put in nor menconed at ye makening of ye Joynture & further sayeth not.
Thomas Johnson."2Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 17.
"She was with Col. Lloyd in England in 1674, and she is referrred to in old deeds in Virginia as Mary Lloyd, "late the relict of Col. More Fantleroy".
In Vol. 4, page 121, of the records of Old Rappahannock County, we find that Col. William Lloyd received from Capt. Booth a legacy left by William Williamson to the "Orphants of Coll. Moore Fantleroy, that is to say, William, Moore, and Elizabeth Fantleroy". This is our only proof that there was a son named Moore."

"Her portrait hangs at Mt. Airy, and photographs of it are in this book. The dates of birth of Katherine Griffin and her sons are given on an old record sheet now in the possession of the Misses Tayloe of Mt. Airy."

He married the widow of Thomas Griffin, who was perhaps a Miss Clare, as Ambrose Clare gave Katherine Griffin 1155 acres of land in 16.71."
"He was High Sheriff of Rappahannock Couniy in 1670. About 1683 he move to Northumberland County, where he was presiding justice for many years. He was also a lieutenant colonel in the county militia. In 1678 he was named a Burgess to take the place of Major Thomas Hawkins who had died.
