The Moon family, resident in and about Bristol, England, were among the early converts to the principles of the Society of Friends. Moone, as the name is spelled in early English and American records. The Friends' records in Bristol record his marriage and the births of four of their children - Joseph, Sarah, John and Elizabeth. John Moone came to Philadelphia with his wife and children about 1682, and was a member of Philadelphia monthly meeting, a justice of the peace, and a member of the provincial assembly. He moved to Bedford township, Gloucester county, New Jersey, where he died, leaving a will dated October 8, 1715, which mentions his home farm on Mantoes Creek; children: Joseph (absent from the province_, John, Elizabeth, Gibson, Thomas, Edward and Charles.
Another John Moone, a member of the Friends meeting at Horslydown, or Southwaark, England, appeared before the meeting September 17, 1684, and requested a certificate to Pennsylvania, which was granted and signed by the meeting. The records of the Philadelphia meeting show that the other John Moone was active in its affairs before this date, making it clear that he was a different individual. There is no further record of the Southwark John Moone.
