From what I'm seeing in the U S Federal Census's the tentative identification for John Mooar as a Manchester, New Hampshire jeweler and the son of John Mooar of Hollis, New Hampshire is correct. The younger John's brother Jacob W is with John in Manchester in 1870. Jacob W was a physician. John married Lucinda A Dodge 17 December 1846. Lucinda died in 1859. John married Hattie A Sayles 6 February 1868. John's daughter Ella Augusta born 10 June 1852 married Charles L Moulton. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 02-15-2009).] IP: Logged |

Two more Mooars, Humphrey and Lot who were both younger brothers of Johns were jewelers and watchmakers together in Lawrence, Massachusetts. IP: Logged |

What year? 1850? Lot probably did not stay in trade long, but returned to Hollis and took up the family farm at Mooar's Hill. IP: Logged |

I find Lot in the 1857 and 1859 directories for Lawrence, Massachusetts. He is the U S Federal Census's for Hollis, Massachusetts in 1850 and 1860, so his time in the business must have been short. It may even have been a short lived apprenticeship, but he is listed as a jeweler only in the directories. And then Jacob W shows up in the 1860 U S Federal Census for Lawrence, Massachusetts as a jeweler. He is not in any directories as a jeweler that I have access to. IP: Logged |

He was still in his twenties in 1860 and as noted above he was a physician in Manchester in 1870. Just a quick glance on line, if this is believeable, revealed that in the mid nineteenth century residency was not seen as necessary for general practice. IP: Logged |

Perhaps he was changed by his experiences in the Civil War -- he enlisted in Stark's New Hampshire Regiment in 1861. IP: Logged |
