Richard Moore (1793–1874) was an American potter, educator, and abolitionist who ran a crucial station on the Underground Railroad in Quakertown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
He also taught large numbers of impoverished children as part of the Richland Friends School.
He and his wife, Sarah Foulke, used their home as the northernmost Underground Railroad "station" in Bucks County, receiving hundreds of freedom seekers from stations in Chester County or lower Bucks County and dispatching them to Quaker meetings in Stroudsburg or Easton to continue their journey northward.
In addition, the Moores hired other fugitives or found them local employment.
[1][2] In 2019, a Pennsylvania state historical marker was installed at Moore's farmhouse on 421 South Main Street in Quakertown.
