There has been a lot of confusion and controversy among researchers about whether James Moore's wife was a daughter of John Yeamans, the widow of John Yeamans, or, a step-daughter of John Yeamans. The above sources subscribe to the third theory, that James Moore's wife was Margaret Foster, posthumous daughter of Col. Benjamin Barringer. Please see the notes for Benjamin Barringer for more details.
Other sources, such as Samuel A. Ashe's 1905 book, "A Biographical History of North Carolina", say that an Elizabeth Yeamans, daughter of Sir John Yeamans, was the wife of James Moore.
