About Anne Catherine Moore
.
___________________________________
Ann Catherine SPOTSWOOD. "--was elegant in person and manners, and of a high spirit. She was a strong adherent of the British government, while her husband and children sympathized with th patriot cause in the revolution. She, as being the daughter of a haughty British governor, persisted in drinking her tea, although a contraband article, privately, in her closet, during the war. There is a tradition of her having made her negroes toss an overseer who had offended her, in a basket, while she stood at a window to witness the scene". Campbell, p. 30, Spotswood Family.
Anne Catherine Spotswood married Col. Bernard Moore a decendant of Sir Thomas More (Lord High Chancellor of England and Saint) and an ancestor of Robert E. Lee and Helen Keller.
