This lithograph could have been published around the time of the "Memoir of Rev. John Moore," by Rev. John G. Adams. Advertisement for the subscription of this book appeared in the "Universalist Quarterly" in 1856. As advertised, the book, "in the best style of Boston workmanship" would also include an engraving of Moore.

Rev. John Moore (1797-1855) was a Universalist minister, practicing in Danvers, Lynn, and Lowell, MA, Hartford, CT, Troy, NY, Strafford, VT, and Lebanon and Concord, NH. Nominated by the American Party for NH governor, but did not meet the state requirement for residency. Died suddenly in 1855.
