MARRIED Catherine Rhett 10 Oct 1723.

"King" Roger, NC land was so plentiful and the desire so great to get the
colony settled that some very large tracts were granted to individuals and to
companies. Roger Moore and Edward Moseley owned over 10,000 acres each.
Orton, home of Roger, has been called the finest residence in NC (Kendal, home
of George Moore) Orton Plantation, 14 m. from Wilmington, NC. In 1725, a grant
issued to Maurice Moore, who 3 yrs later sold 500 acres to brother Roger of
Berkeley Co SC. Called "King" because of imperious manner and opulence. Orton
House stands within 500 acres brought from Maurice, built sometime after 1734
and used as his residence until his death in 1751. Later occupied by his
grandson Gov. Benjamin Smith (1810-11). Benjamin had brother James who changed
name to grandmother's, Rhett. Colonial graveyard with tombs of Roger, wife and
family.
