Yikes! You would think that the name CASON MOORE would be easy to track down. Moore settled in Virginia [Lower Norfolk/Princess Anne Co.] I have found references to at least two of that name - if both existed!
The child in question is a daughter named Mary. This Mary was the wife of Richard Bonney [c1640-1706].
One Cason Moore was born c1610 in England and died leaving a will in VA in 1686/7. He named his children - no Mary. Another, also born c1610 is purported to have been Mary's father. But, was this just a case of "Mary's father is Cason Moore, but there's no evidence to support it"?
Various family trees have Mary's mother listed as Mary Moore, Hutchinson or Shipp. A few have her as Dinah, but that appears to be based on some confusion in transcribing Richard Bonney's will. It would have been nice if Richard and Mary had given a son her maiden name!
Looking into the neighbors of Richard and the Bonney girls' husbands may offer some clues. Mores news when/if available.
