<br /> ENDNOTES
<br /> ' The 1972 nomination did not establish boundaries or acreage for Moorefields' designation. This additional
<br /> documentation sets boundaries and acreage(9.15)for a proposed historic district within the larger(76-acre)
<br /> property,hence the technical correction.

<br /> 9 The house's construction date of 1785-1788 has been maintained by previous scholarship(see endnote 8 for
<br /> citations).This beginning date of construction is likely predicated Moore's purchased of 1,200 acres in early January
<br /> 1784.However,no documentary evidence(e.g.tax assessment/land records from 1784-1800)has been located that
<br /> would help verify this assertion.Family letters prove that the house was on the ground by 1805.Therefore,based on
<br /> this evidence(or lack thereof),a more conservative construction range would be 1784-1805.Barry Jacobs,"A Brief
