Ann Moore was a midwife in Salem.
Almost nothing is known about Thomas Moore of Salem himself. We only know about his widow Ann and two of their children: Mary Moore and Thomas Moore, Jr from Salem deeds, church and court records. These records only reveal the identity of two children Mary Moore of Salem who married Joseph Grafton and Thomas Moore, Jr who married first Martha Youngs and second Katherine. No births, marriages or deaths are recorded in Salem Vital Records. However, we know that the widow Ann had a family of five, so there were possibly three other unidentified children living in 1636 in Salem besides Thomas and Mary assuming Mary was living with her mother and included in this count and that Thomas had his own household based on his separate grant of land.

There is absolutely no evidence that Thomas Moore’s wife Ann’s maiden name was Scarlett, Grafton or Carte. Her maiden name and origins are unknown. We simply know her first name was Ann. Her daughter’s husband was Joseph Graton and in some cases researchers have confused his surname Graton with her maiden name. A familysearch ancestral file shows Ann married to a Mr. Scarlett but it is completely unsourced. The name Ann Scarlett probably originated from the will of Ann Scarlet dated 2d 1st mo., 1639 who was the sister of Joseph Grafton
