  Significant Scots - David Macbeth Moir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
MOIR, DAVID MACBETH.—This gentle, amiable, and talented poet and physician, whose worth secured for him the esteem which his genius awakened, and whose recent death is still felt and bewailed as a national bereavement, was born at Musselburgh, on the 5th of January, 1798.
Moir was thus so industrious in authorship, and deriving from it the reputation he so justly merited, he did not on that account suffer himself to be allured from the daily toils of his profession.
Moir, now at no more than the age of confirmed manhood, when health is strongest, and hope often at the brightest, bade fair, from his firm constitution and temperate habits, to be destined for a long life of usefulness, that to eyes of his friends loomed in bright perspective.

David, was the first of the family to come to the United States; he learned the trade of foundryman in Scotland, and prior to 1850 came to the United States and settled in Newark, New Jersey, where he established a foundry and after a prosperous business career died leaving a wife and children.
