Joseph Moir
Joseph James Moir (1809–1874) was a prominent builder, ironmonger, citizen and shot manufacturer in 19th century Tasmania. He is best known for building the Taroona Shot Tower, but also built St Mark's Anglican Church, Pontville, issued tokens in his own name during a currency shortage in the colony, and served as an alderman on Hobart City Council.

Joseph Moir was born in the Scottish Border town of Kelso in 1809, where he learned his trade as a builder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/themes/2164/joseph-moir-ironmonger-1809-1874 )〕 In 1829, he emigrated with his elder brother John (c. 1807–1876) to the colony of Van Diemen's Land (as Tasmania was then known), sailing on the ''North Briton'' from Leith to Hobart via The Cape of Good Hope.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Shot Tower History )〕 His sister Mary (c. 1804–1866) followed her brothers to Hobart in 1832.
