Augustine Moore
Augustine Moore (circa 1754–after 1787) was the son of prominent planter and politician Bernard Moore who succeeded his father as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses representing King William County and at the first Virginia Convention, and then moved toward Hampton Roads, and represented its three counties in the Virginia Senate (1777-1778). Complicating matters, the name "Augustine" was used by two different Moore families in the similar York River watershed area, so the burgess and the senator may have been different people.
