More Family History
Burkes Landed Gentry (1879 edition) in the entry for the family of More of Linley states that "this is a family of great antiquity, deriving it's name from the paris of More in Shropshire."
"Richard (or, according to CAMDEN, Thomas, de la More came from Normandy with Duke William and lost his life at the Battle of Hastings, leaving a son, Sir Thomas de la More, who. to use the words of CAMDEN, "builte faire houses at Launceston, in Cornwall; Halton, in Cheshire; and More, in Shropshire, giving to the latter place his paternal name." He married Constance, daughter of Robert de Umfrevil, Lord de Tours and was ancestor of the Mores of More, co. Salop."
"Sir Thomas More, the Chancellor; the Moores, Earls of Mountcashell and the Moores of Barn derive from collateral branches of this family."
The More family of More were thus the senior branch of the family and Burkes Landed Gentry shows that they remained in possession of estates at More, Linley and Larden until at least the second half of the 20th century.
The branches of the family that settled in Ireland founded several families under various spellings of More and Moore.
See also Martyn Downers blog post "Moor than obvious" on 24 August 2012 www.myfamilysilver.com/blog on the use of the head of a moor in heraldry. The heralds have always enjoyed a pun (known as cantling in heraldry) and moors and moorhens are often incorporated in the arms of families whose names include "Moor" or "More".
Downer makes the point that the use of a "Moor" was traditionally a nod to the crusades and therefore, in the words of Sellar and Yeatman, "a good thing" and often predates the slave trade ("a bad thing").
