John Moorhead was born in Clones, Drumsnut Parish, County Monaghan, Ulster, Ireland to parents William Moorhead and Eleanor (Cathey) Moorhead. I have seen his middle name on several Anecestry.com Family Trees as "Torey"; however, there is no Primary Source to show that this is true. I have never seen this middle name used with John Moorhead, Jr.'s name.
John's 1st wife was Martha McDonald who was born in 1735. They married in Ireland in 1749. They had a son named Robert c1750 in Ireland and a daughter Nannie Carey/Carrie who was born & died in 1751. Martha died c1752.
John's 2nd Wife was Elizabeth Dunn. They married in Ireland in 1761. In 1762, John, his 2nd wife Elizabeth, his son Robert, and a nephew John Moorhead immigrated from Londonderry, Ireland to New Castle, Delaware arriving in August after a passage of 6 weeks and 3 days. Elizabeth gave birth to a son William on board ship near the island of Bermuda on 09 Jul 1762.
John and Elizabeth had at least 8 children together:
William Moorhead
Eleanor "Nellie" (Moorhead) Robertson
John Moorhead, Jr.
James L. Moorhead
Joseph Moorhead
Alexander Moorhead
Elizabeth Dunn (Moorhead) Lewis
Jane/Jean (Moorhead) Jolly
