Hi Marshall,
Yup, he's the guy. My files are posted on rootsweb. They aren't full/complete or up-to-date as my Yahoo mail doesn't allow me to send files as large as my genealogy files! But that IS the same Josiah Moore.

Someone on the list said "of course" to my comment that some of the families remained in Hunterdon County when relatives moved on to VA, OH or other states. What I meant was that often I will see comments by listers about their families in states other than NJ and I've been in school with people from that family! If your family is from this area, you might want to check local listings for relatives because there's a good possibility that you'll find some! When I was a little girl (back in the 50s), I played with the boy who lived in back of me in Pennington. Recently I found that he's still interested in genealogy and we found that we're distantly related. Of course, if your family was in Hunterdon/Mercer in the early 1700s, anyone else whose family was also there is probably related to you as the gene pool was rather shallow! They couldn't marry outside their church "family" without repercussions so there wasn't a big selection. I'm very familiar with that screen that!
pops up
on Family Tree Maker that says "the person you've selected as spouse has the same surname as the one already in the program" or something similar. Many times cousins married each other or two sisters married two brothers. A recent Trenton Times article said that they no longer think it's genetically dangerous for first cousins to marry. Made me feel a little better about my heritage!!

Anyway, Marshall, yes that is the same Josiah Moore. Thanks for the message, Cuz!
