Claimants

There have been claimants in the United States, descendants of Charles Moore, a younger son of Sir Emmanuel Moore, 9th Baronet.

Jerry Moore (1942–2010) claimed to be the ninth Baronet's descendant and assumed the title of 12th Baronet.[2] His son, Douglas Cameron Alexander Moore (b. 1970), assumed the title of 13th Baronet.[3] But they have not successfully proved their succession to the baronetcy, thus they aren't entitled to be addressed as Baronets.[4]
