Andrew Moore (1752April 14, 1821) was an American lawyer and politician from Lexington, Virginia. Moore studied law under George Wythe and was admitted to the bar in 1774.[1] He rose to the rank of captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, seeing action at Saratoga. After the war he was eventually commissioned a major general in the Virginia militia in 1803. He was a delegate to the Virginia convention that ratified the United States Constitution in 1788. He was a member of the Virginia legislature from 1791 to 1789 and from 1799 to 1800.[1] He represented Virginia in both the U.S. House (1789–1797, 1804) and the U.S. Senate (1804–1809). He died near Lexington, Virginia; on April 14, 1821.[2]
In 1803, Moore initially lost a very close race to Thomas Lewis and Lewis was seated. But Moore contested the result and in 1804, after Congress determined that several votes were cast - for both candidates - by someone who was unqualified, Moore was declared the winner.[3]
