First I would like to direct you to Don Hender's HomePage which contains information gleaned from early MOON wills in Cornwall, England. We believe there is a connection between Don's MOONs and mine.

NOTE ! ! - Don's page is in the process of being moved to a new server. I will add a link when I hear that it is up and running.

The following is much of the information that I have collected on my MOON ancestors. This family immigrated from Cornwall, UK and began their lives in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada in 1832

Theophilus MOON, of Cornwall, England, who married Honour/Honor HAWKEY around 1754, is the earliest MOON ancestor that I can fairly confidently identify. (Honor's parents were Richard HAWKEY and Mary HOSKIN)

Their children were: Robt b 1755; Joseph b 1757; Margaret b 1758; Henry b 1750; Theophilus b 1762; Charles b 1765; Elizabeth b 1765; William b 1771

Robert Moon c. 30 June 1755 St. Keyne, married Ann Rescorla

Robert and Ann's children where:
• i) Anna Moon c. 1786
  
• ii) Theophilus Moon c. 1787 (2 sons immigrated to Australia)
  
• iii) Henry John Moon [A]c.1788, married Mary Rawling m. 7 Dec 1823
  
• iv) Robert Moon c. 1791
  
• v) Charles Moon c. 1793
  
• vi) William Moon c. 1794
  
• vii) Dorothy Ann Moon c. 1798
  
• viii) Edmund Joseph Moon [B] c. 1801, married Jane Boyd
  

  Note:

  Henry John [A] and Edmund Joseph Moon [B] immigrated to Canada in 1832.
  I gave the designation [A] and [B] to these two immigrating brothers. Their children then have two-letter designations, eg [AA], [AB]... and [BA], [BB].. The third generation then have three-letter designations.
