Who was Richard Moore?

" For about six decade during the 19th century Richard Moore, a prominent member of the Richland Society of Friends, served his Upper Bucks County community as a teacher, businessman, religious leader, and humanitarian. It was in the role of a humanitarian that his influence reached far beyond Bucks County. His home and the adjacent property became a key link in the network of safe houses which permitted escaped slaves to seek freedom on the Underground Railroad. But not all of the refugees continued to the north. Some of them found that there was already a community of free black's' living in Richard Moore's neighborhood and joined them."
