About Bernard Moore
Colonel Bernard Moore, Esq., of Chelsea, King William County, Virginia (1720–1775), was a prominent landowner and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses representing King William County. His brother-in-law, powerful speaker John Robinson made unauthorized loans to Moore and other allies, discovered after Robinson's death in 1766, which caused his estate's administrator Edmund Pendleton and creditors including George Washington to auction Moore's land and 55 slaves.
