Henry's father was Robert Moon born 1557 Hollowforth and died 1615 at Woodplumpton his wife was Alice Dilworth

I do know Robert's father was also called Henry and he would have been born around 1527.

From these Moons have descended the hundreds of Moons from in & around Preston & Lancashire in general. Some of the Eccleston Moons became Mormon pioneers in the 1840's and were some of the first to convert to that faith in England.

Another branch of the family were later made Baronets.

I have alot more information regarding the siblings of Joseph Moon your gg grandfather as well as his father's families as well.

I can let you have any info that I may have if you are interested.

Hope you find the information useful
Kind regards
