For the most part, the earlier transactions involve the extended Dolliver family while the later transactions revolve around Joseph Moore.
The earliest document in 1652 was the purchase of land by Samuel Dolliver in Fresh Water Cove. By 1700, his herd of 10 cows will be the largest on Cape Ann. The Dolliver sons added land in Magnolia by being granted public land lots; William Dolliver in 1688 (his wife Ann will be accused of witchcraft but is not brought to trial) and Richard Dolliver in 1707 and again in 1723. Paul Dolliver also settled in Fresh Water Cove in 1700. It was Richard Dolliver who managed to eventually control the family holdings. His daughter, Hannah, married Josiah Grover in 1719. The Grover family in turn will sell most of the Dolliver holdings to Master Joseph Moore.
Joseph Moore was the son of William Moore who had bought land from Josiah Grover in 1751 at Fresh Water Cove. The father was a teacher, a profession that the one would also take up. In 1775, the British sloop-of-war Falcon, commanded by Captain Lindsay, shelled the town of Gloucester and also captured William Moore and 12-year-old Joseph Moore. The father was not heard from again, but the son was put ashore. With his mathematical talent, he taught navigation to decades of ship captains as well as teaching in the public schools. He died in 1845 at the age of 82.
