In 1890 I published a book giving the history of John Moses, the shipbuilder of Plymouth, a Colonial settler of 1632 ; and of John Moses, of Portsmouth, a Colonial settler of 1639; with some account of their descendants. I have this year published a second volume containing other historical items concerning the early fathers, and have added about 4,500 names to the record of their descendants. A list of soldiers of the Moses name who served in American wars is included. Many pages of the Appendix are devoted to biographical sketches of noted men of the Moses family who lived in England before the days of the Commonwealth. The editions of each volume are small with no stereotyped plates. The few copies of the first volume yet remaining in my hands I have bound in with the second volume, which by reason of continual references to the earlier publication will be of little value to anyone not owning the first volume. The greater part of the edition of the first volume was sent out free of cost to the recipients, but I shall not follow the same course with the combined volumes because they are limited in number, and since I can not distribute generally as before I do not wish to make discriminations. I shall, however, donate fifty of the books to leading libraries in this country and England, to insure the permanent preservation of the record. As to the remainder, I will furnish the combined volumes (Nos. I and II) cloth bound, gilt lettermg on sides and back, to early applicants at five dollars, remitted in Money^Order or Draft on New York. When the stock of books approaches exhaustion I shall raise the price to ten dollars. Some copies of the second volume have been bound separately, but they will be useful only to those who already own the first volume. For the present the price of the second volume will be three dollars. Address : Zebina Moses, 711 H Street. N. W., Washington, D. C.

A few words of explanation will therefore suffice as my preface. Several years since, while on a business trip to Hartford, Conn., I examined the History of Simshury, Granby, and Canton, Conn., pub lished in 1[845, by Noah A. Phelps, and Sketches of 'West Simslury, published in 1856, by Abiel Brown. I found in these histories my own family tree, with but one omission, which I afterwards supplied from the probate office at Hartford. My attention was forcibly called to the rapidly approaching decay and obliteration of many of the earlier manuscript town records of the colonial period, and I realized that any further searches I might wish to make, for personal details concerning the "early fathers,'' should be prose cuted at once. I have since carried out a resolution then formed, to gather every attainable item which would throw any light on the life and pursuits of men of the first and second generations of the New England family bearing the Moses name. The results have been so fruitful that I have decided to preserve them in book form. Incidental to these researches I have obtained the names of many descendants. I therefore append a genealogical record, which, though not complete, should give to nearly all who claim New England descent, and who can trace back their ancestry for four generations, an opportunity to establish their lineage. Many of the descendants of the forefathers will doubtless feel disappointed that I have not made search for them and placed them where they justly belong with the modern names in this book. I can only say by way of apology for omissions and imperfec tions, that I have been but two years in gathering material, and have been able to give to this compilation no more than the occasional spare hours of an active business life. I print this work for my personal satisfaction and also with the 8 PREFACE. hope of gratifying the few friends and correspondents who have aided in the researches necessary to such an undertaking — who realize its difficulties, and have with myself found interest and pleasure in overcoming them. Among others who have assisted me, I make especial mention of Eev. Vincent Moses of Patten, Maine; of Joshua Moses of Hoopes- ton, 111,, and of the Hon. Charles J. Hoadly, State Librarian at Hartford, Conn,, from each of whom I have received valuable material. The book is published for private circulation. ZEBINA MOSES. "Washington, D. C, Dec. 24, 1889. CHAPTER I. JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY, It is a matter of actual record that as far back as 1647 there were three New England colonists bearing the name of John Moses, Of these, the earliest mention is of John Moses of Plymouth, There is nothing to indicate relationship between him and John Moses of Portsmouth; but family traditions and statements, as well as strong circumstantial evidence and the inherent probabili ties of the case, seem to determine beyond reasonable doubt that he was the father of John Moses of Windsor. Several accounts in the possession of the older branches of the descendants of John Moses of Windsor state positively that he was the son of a John Moses of Plymouth. Prom these accounts one is selected that has several times been in print. In a personal sketch of the late Schuyler Moses,* pub lished several years since in Mason's Semi- Centennial History of Rochester, N. Y., John Moses is mentioned as the "son of John Moses who came from England in 1632, and who is supposed to have been married before he emigrated to America'.'" " This John Moses was a blacksmith-, and brought with him from England, in 1632, a set of tools which have remained in the Moses * Schuyler Moses, after bis removal frnm Connecticut to New York, lived for many years in the same house with his father, who died as late as 1847, aged 86, and also remembered his grandfather, Elisha, who was born in 1735. This Elisha's grandfather was born in 1681. It will thus be seen that the story of the anvil, and of its original ownership, might have been handed down through but very few persons in reaching the venerable Schuyler Moses The New York World of March 14, 1880, contained the following notice: "Schuyler Moses died yesterday in his 91st year; he was the oldest Freemason in the State of New York, the oldest pioneer of Rochester ; he voted for James Monroe in 182J, and for Harrison in 1888, and served as a juryman in 1888." 2 10 JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. family down to the present time, a period of two hundred and fifty-two years." A number of the Iron Age, published during the Centennial Exposition of 1876, gives a description of an anvil exhibited at Philadelphia in a building devoted to New England historical relics. Extracts from this article, printed thirteen years since, are as follows . K\lf-' S ^^,'1, ^m !".:- . t " an anvil op the seventeenth century." "The old anvil shown in the accompanying illustration has already been described in these columns, but some additional particulars concern ing it will be of interest. It is 11 inches high, 16 inches long to horn, four inches wide, and weighs 136 pounds. Mr. Seymour says: 'I assure vou it has seen hard service. There is no question as to its beino' made in 1633.' " In the earlier article above alluded to, a letter, dated March 13, 1876, from Mr, Norman Seymour, Secretary of the Livingston County, N, Y,, Historical Society, is published, from which is quoted: 'Among the relics that have been brought out so far this centennial year, I have found in our town an old anvil, and marked on it in figures cut in the iron 16J.2. This anvil was brought over from England about the year 1632 by John Moses." JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 11 Farther on, after tracing from John Moses of 1632 the gene alogy of the Schuyler Moses family (which will be found in later pages of this work), the Iron Age adds: "The anvil is now at this date in possession of Miss Aurelia Moses, the oldest daughter of Elisha Moses, Jr., and of Eebecca, the daughter of Elisha Dray ton Moses, who now resides at Mount Morris, Livingston County, N. Y. It is truly an old relic, and its battered condition proves that it has seen hard service during nearly 250 years." The anvil was, sometime after the Exposition, removed to the residence of the late Schuyler Moses, at Eochester, N. Y., where the writer has lately examined it, and verified the above descrip tion. Prom a letter from Schuyler Moses to Charles Moses of Brook lyn, N. Y., dated May 21, 1885, a full copy of which is inthe writer's possession, the following extract is given: " I have traced the Yankee Moses family back to Plymouth, Mass., 1632." In a letter written several years since to the Eev. Vincent Moses, and kindly furnished with other material for this history. Schuyler Moses distinctly makes the statement, that he once had in his possession a record showing that the first John Moses of his line was from Plymouth, Ma,ss., and that he came to this country in 1632. Marcus Moses, born 1800, brother of Schuyler, in a letter to Eev. Vincent Moses, April 4, 1872, also gives the story of th^ anvil as handed down from his father and grandfather. His sister Aurelia Moses, born in 1803, and other members of the family, also confirm the account. The writer deferred communicating with the late Schuyler Moses, considering that on account of his great age it would be better to visit him when business should lead in the direction of Eochester, N. Y. Unfortunately this purpose was too long delayed, and recent correspondence with his heirs and a personal call at his late home at Eochester, have not added any fresh par ticulars to the foregoing items of family history. The account of the " Moses Anvil " is given here as it has been handed down through the generations. The researches of the writer furnish considerable circumstantial evidence in favor of this tradition of the Mount Morris branch of the Moses family. The Lechford account of John Moses of Plymouth, which will presently follow, was not published, and the book which contains 13 JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. it was not distributed to the few principal libraries where it can now be found, until 1886. In the opinion of the writer its existence is unknown to any of the Moses name besides himself at the date of this publication. It appears from the Lechford history that John Moses of Plymouth, though not properly a blacksmith, was a shipwright, and that he would have had use for an anvil. Prom what is given hereafter, it will also be seen that John Moses of "Windsor, though not a blacksmith, had ownership in a cider mill, saw mills, and a grist mill, and had evidently a knowledge of mechanics. In the inventory of his estate, taken after his death, is enumerated "iron tools and old iron," which from the consider able valuation of £6 and IDs. might well have included an anvil. "Without reference to the anvil, it is clear that in several f amihes the story has been inherited, that the father of John Moses of "Windsor was a John Moses who landed on the New England coast in 1630 or 1632. These accounts, so carefully handed down from father to son, gather new force in view of the historical proof lately obtained by the writer that there was a John Moses of Plymouth, at least as far back as 1640, although none of those of the family with whom the writer has had correspondence with reference to the Moses traditions were informed as to his knowl edge of such proof, which he purposely withheld, that no bias might be given through him to their communications. This proof is afforded by the Lechford historical sketch of John Moses of Plymouth, already referred to, and which is now given in full. In the transactions of the American Antiquarian Society, Vol. VII, is published a " Note book kept by Thomas Lechford, Lawyer in Boston, Mass. Bay, from June 27, 1638, to July 21, 1641." In the preface to the volume, the Eev. Edward Everett Hale, under date of September 17, 1885, speaks of the Society's deter mination to publish the Note book, and goes on to state that "it is one of the most valuable documents which have been preserved of the history of the first generation of Massachusetts. It is the daily record of the work done in the office of the only professional lawyer in the Colony. The present owner of the original manu script is Samuel Jennison of Boston I have not been able to discover the time or place of Lechford's embarkation for New England, nor in which of the twenty ships which brought 3,000 passengers to Massachusetts in the summer of 1638, he came. JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 13 His Note book begins, ' Boston in New England-27-4-the day of my landing, 1638.' " "In July, 1640," he wrote to England, "I do profess that I am of this mind and judgement. I thank God that Christians cannot live happily without Bishops as in England, nor Englishmen with out a King." Of Massachusetts, he writes, "I am not of them in church or commonweal — some bid me begone." . . . On the 16th of November, 1641, after his landing in Eng land, he writes, that he "had returned humbly to the Church of England." With this necessary introduction, quotation is now made from page 418 of the volume VII, above referred to.

Phihp De Lanoe of Duxbury, aged about 36 yeares sworne saithc that John Moses of Duxbury aforesaid shipwright having a pinnace in hand to build for one Thomas Keyser and his partner as this deponent hath heard he was intreated by the said John Moses to inquire at some house in Boston for pitch and oakhum that should be left there by the said Thomas Keyser and his partner for the use of said pinnace and this deponent did inquire two several times for the said pitch and oakum about the latter end of the fift moneth last or the beginning of the sixt moneth last but could not find where the same was left though he inquired at divers houses, but two or three who said they knew Keyser and his ptr. then told this depon. that the said Keyser intended not to have the said pin nace for that he was not able to pay for it nor his partner neither, whereof this deponent tould the said John Moses who thereupon borrowed this depo nents boate who went therein with another man to seek said Keyser and his partner about the said pitch and oakhum and pinnace, and they were wait ing with his said boate three weekes in the chiefe mackrell time in September which was above 4£ damage to this deponent." "Will Latham of Duxbury planter aged about 32 yeares, sworne upon oathe, that in the seventh moneth last he went in a boate from Duxbury aforesaid with John Moses to seek Thomas Keyser and his partner about a pinnace that the said John Moses had in hand for them, and that this deponent and the said Moses were out about the said business for about three weekes." Poot Notes by the Editor of Lechford's Manuscript Note Boole made in 1885: " Of John Moses and John Guy I can find no mention at all in Savage, Thomas Keyser was a seafaring man of whom little other remembrance was preserved. He has obtained a species of fame through his mention by Winthrop, Vol, 3, p, 231, where are related certain operations of one Smith and his mate Thomas Keyser in a voyage undertaken by them to the coast of Guinea," "Philip Delano or Philip De La Noy as it was formerly written was said to have been a Frenchman, member of the Church at Leyden, He came over in 1621, was a freeman in 1633 and was one oi the early settlers of Duxbury where he became a man of 'much respectibilitie' according to Windsor," "Wm. Latham was a more obscure inhabitant of Duxbury whither he moved from Plymouth. He had come over in the Mayflower as servant to Governor Carver — see Bradford, p. 447—450." In the History of New England from 1630 to 1649, by John Winthrop, Esq., first Governor of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, two quite lengthy accounts are given of this Thomas ICeyser, who behaved so meanly in relation to the pinnace he had ordered of the shipwright, John Moses. Extracts are given as showing the JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 15 character of Keyser, and as also showing peculiarities in the relig ious beliefs of the time. Vol. I, p, 321, year 1639: "There happened a memorable thing at Plimouth about this time, ' One Keysar of Lynn being at Plimouth in his boat and one Dickerson with him a professor, but a notorious thief, was coming out of the harbor with the ebb and the wind southerly, a fresh gale ; yet with all their skill and labor, they could not in three hours get the boat above one league, so as they were forced to come to an anchor, and at the flood, to go back to the town, and as soon as they were come in, the said Dickerson was arrested upon suspicion of a gold ring and some other pieces of gold which upon search were found about him and he was there whipped for it," In Vol, II, p. 243, year 1645, — -Keyser appears as mate on a vessel owned by James Smith, "who was a member of the Church of Boston," also they together made a voyage to Guinea to trade for Negroes. Quite a lengthy account is given of this slave-trading venture, and of a law suit brought by Smith against Keyser for bringing home the vessel, leaving him (Smith) at Barbadoes, also of their being l|rought to account for "murder," "Stealing negers," also " chacing the negers (as aforesayde) upon the Sabbath day, which (being a servile work and such as cannot be considered under any other heade), is expressly capitall by the law of God." If any punishment was inflicted upon them it does not appear in the records. It is stated that the pinnace was afterward finished and sold to Captain Edward Gibbons. On page 321 of Prince's Chronology, under date of October 19, 1630, appears a hsf" of 108 persons of the Massachusetts Bay Colony who "desired to be made freemen," among them "Edward Gibbons (afterward Major-General)." The question naturally arises, why this ship-yard of John Moses was not mentioned by some of the historians of the Plymouth Colony. It must be confessed that this is somewhat surprising, yet it should be'remem^bered that Duxbury, though but a few miles from Plymouth across the bay, was, in 1640, a separate township and had its own records. Winsor, in his History of Duxbury, page 82, says: "It is greatly to be regretted that the earliest * Very curiously, in this list appears also the names of Henry Woolcot and the Rev. John Warham, who are mentioned in connection with John Moses of Windsor in the first paper con cerning him. 16 JOHN MOSES OP PLYMOUTH COLONY. records of Duxbury are lost. We have evidence that they were burned, as the existing records testify — the first entry on the leaf of the present records was made in 1666." It therefore follows that but for this discovery of the Lechford Manuscript Note Book, and its publication in 1886, which so strikingly confirms the old time traditions in the Moses family, we should have had but little actual knowledge of the shipwright John Moses. It borders on the marvelous that this manuscript and Governor Bradford's Manuscript History of Plymouth Colony, should both have come to hght after having been lost for over two hundred years. Considering the record of the law suit, the following deductions may fairly be made. That John Moses probably had his business established at Duxbury as early as 1639. He must also have had more than a merely local reputation, as indicated by the fact that his first and second order for the pinnace apparently came from Lynn and Salem. He may have worked as a shipwright at one of these towns. The fact that there is historical mention of Henry Moses, a mariner (possibly a son), who married in Salem in 1659, is corroborative of this deduction. He must almost inevitably have been a settled man of middle age, to have learned his trade in England, and to have been pos sessed of wood-working and iron-working tools, some capital, and a knowledge of affairs to justify him in making contracts on his own account. The fact that he employed Thomas Lechford, " the only lawyer of the Colony," (Massachusetts Bay Colony), whose practice was dis couraged and occasionally stopped by the Puritans,'" who hated him for his adherence to the Church of England, would, considering the times, give a fair inference that John Moses did not share in the Puritan dislike of Lechford or of his religious views. A read ing of Lechford's book will confirm this inference. There is nothing in the papers presented to the court or in any records now extant to show exactly where the John ISIoses ship yard was located. From the local histories, it seems extremely probable that he must have bought or rented from one of the original proprietors, perhaps from Philip Delano, mentioned in the lawsuit, whose land in Duxbury we find described in Plymouth ?Lechford's Note Book. — " auarter Court — 7th mo. 1639. — Mr. Thomas Lechford is de barred from pleading any mans cause unless his own and admonished not to presume to meddle beyond what he shall be called by the Court." JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 17 Colony Records, Vol. I, p. 67, as bounded on the south side by the lands of John Alden, and on the east side by the sea. In 'Winsor' s History of Duxbury a reference is made to Ealph Chapman, another ship carpenter, who might possibly have worked with John Moses on the pinnace, as it is almost certain that assistance must have been needed at some stage of the work. Chapman is mentioned as early as 1640, when he had a grant of "4 acres at Stoney Brook," and also, "more land to the north,. towards Green's Harbor." John Josselyn, in his "Account of Two Voyages to New England in the Year 16S8," states that there is " excellent timber for shipping at Green's Harbor to eastward of Plymouth." So far as appears from the records of Plymouth Colony, their only shipwrights, up to the year 1660, may have been John Moses and Ealph Chapman. It is highly probable that John Moses did not come to New England to escape religious persecu tion, but rather to fill a demand for men who could build ships. It is certain that as far back as the time of this lawsuit the ship building industry was a prominent one in New England, and that for several years previously it had been largely carried on by the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a very short distance to the north of Plymouth. If John Moses came to this country as far back as 1630 or 1632, it is in every way probable that he worked at the ship-yards of Lynn or Salem or other of the Massachusetts Bay ports, before going to Plymouth; and this would further appear from the fact that little ship-building was carried on at Plymouth, and that no mention is made of the sending over of John Moses or Ealph Chapman in the voluminous correspondence of the English Council, or of the partners in the Plymouth Colony Adventure. Extended quotations are given below, showing the premises upon which the writer has based his inferences above stated.

"This was probably the first vessel built in the Colony and preceded by at least two years the building of Winthrop 's bark at Mistick called the Blessing of the. Bay, of 30 tons, launched July 4, 1631. Cradock carried on ship-building at Mystick River, and in 1633 had a vessel on the stocks of 100 tons, and next year of twice the burden. In 1686, a ship of 120 tons, the Desire, was built at Marblehead. In 1640, Hugh Peters procured some to join for building a ship at Salem of 300 tons, and the inhabitants of Boston built one of 150 tons called the Trial. In the summer of 1643, five ships were built, three at Boston, one at Dorchester, and one at Salem." The author of "New England's First Fruits" writes in 1642: " Besides many boats, hoys, shallops, lighters, and pinnaces, we are in the way of building ships of 100, 200, 300, or 400, tons. Five of these are already at sea." In the Colonial State Papers of Great Britain, page 158, under date of 1638, — Communication of Emanuel Downing to Secretary Coke — " He has made inquiries respecting the ship-carpenters, Mr. Winthrop the Governor has with him in New England. There is WOl Stephens, who built the Royal Merchant of 600 tons, so able a shipwright as there is hardly another such to be found in the kingdom, and two or three others. . . . . The plantation will next year build ships of any burden." From Lechford's Note-book, from notes in relation to a lawsuit — "Nehemiah Bourne was a Charlestown ship-builder (1689), He also lived at Dorchester for some time, and a year or two after he moved to Boston," In same case — Note: — " Thomas Hawkins was a shipwright, also a merchant and part owner of many vessels, owned land in Charlestown and lived in Dorchester and Boston," Page 355 : — " Hassard may have been the ship-carpenter of Boston — (4^16-1640)," Page 379 : — " The account of Thomas Robinson concerning particulars between him and John Swinforth ship-carpenter interested in one bark called the Speed'weU — (5-'iQ-mQ)."

Prom Plymou/h Records, published 1889, (township, not Colonial, records), quotation is made as follows: " At a towne meeting thc 10 of Desem. 1646.

JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 19 In the list of 77 persons which follows is the name " John Moses." In the same volume, at a date in 1 647, appears a list (which is unexplained) of 72 persons; 10 of the names are marked "absent," — among the absentees — "John Moses," From the foregoing it may be assumed that the shipwright had taken up his domicil in Plymouth at some time previous to 1646. A careful examination of the volume just quoted, covering all township proceedings from 1636 to 1705, will almost inevitably lead to the conclusion that John Moses must have carried on his occupation outside the township proper of Plymouth — perhaps across the bay at Duxbury, or Green's Harbor. In Plymouth town ship records are found grants of land to numerous inhabitants; also on pages 116 to 118 are enumerated taxes against every per son having a trade or occupation, with no mention of " John Moses." Nor is there a mention of any ship or boat builder in all of the minute proceedings recorded during the period named. In the same volume appears a list which is apparently under date of 1668, and has this heading: "The names of such as have voated in Towne meeting in the Towne of Plymouth." Ninety- eight names are given, among them, "John Moses." Somewhat strangely, under date of February 15, 1668, appears the following: " The towne . . . took an exact view of the list of the names of those that were formerly called and had voated in Town meeting and established such as were found to be Townsmen according to said order and admitted some few more unto them and Referred others to further consideration. The names of those who were found to be Townsmen of Plymouth accord ing to the abovesaid order which Relates unto the time of the establish ment of the Towne of Plymouth and the bounds thereof sett by the court which was in the yeare 1640." Then follows 68 names, John Moses not among them. In an unconnected list of townsmen of the date of May, 1676, are 82 names, and among them "John Moses." In the preface to the volume it is stated that in some instances "entries have not been made in chronological order; " . . that in " some instances sheets were probably copied and entered wherever in any part of the original volume there was suflBcient blank space." Turning now to the Colony Records of Plymouth, in 12 large volumes, by Shurtleff and Pulsifer, we find in Vol. Ill, in the " pre- 20 JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. sentments by the Court," under date of Oct. 5, 1652: " We present James Cole of Plymouth, for entertaining townsmen in his house contrary to the order of the Court." "We present Thomas Clarke and John Moses of Plymouth, for staying and drinking at James Coles' contrary to the order of the Court." A verdict of "acquittal" was rendered on both presentments. Prom which we infer that our shipwright was of a somewhat convivial turn, and was perhaps not strictly a Puritan. On page 30 of same volume it is stated that at a term of the General Court, on June 7, 1653, "Surveyors of the Hiewaies" were appointed for Duxborough, Plymouth, and other towns, — three surveyors for each town, and that the surveyors for Plymouth were; "John Moses, Christopher Winter, and Thomas Morton." In Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. VIII, p. 181, is mentioned: " Such of the towne of Plymouth as have taken the oath of Fideli- tiein the yeare 1657 " — 23 persons, — among them " John Moses." According to Winsor's History of Duxbury he must have become a member of one of the churches of the Colony in order to have been admitted a freeman. "Lechford's Plain Dealing,'' page 83: " Every freeman when he is admitted takes a strict oath to be true to the society or jurisdiction," Quite possibly this "taking of the oath" was in some way con nected with a new policy adopted by the Pljrmouth Colony in 1657, Commencing with that year, and continuing for several years, fines were imposed " for refusing to take the oath of fidelitie." The Plymouth Colony Records show that in two years, 1658 to 1660, forty-eight persons were fined for this refusal, the most of them 10 pounds each. Vol. VIII, p. 95: "Por absenting themselves from the public worship of God " twelve persons were on March 1, 1658, fined 10 shillings each. In Vol. Ill, p. 196, of the Plymouth Colony Records, is given the verdict, on July 15, 1660, of a jury " conserning the sudden death of James Pierse of Boston, late deceased." The verdict rendered was, that "he was struck by thunder and lightning in a boate in Plymouth Harbor." "John Moses" was one of the twelve jury men. The changed condition of John Moses' church relations does not appear to have greatly modified his social tendencies. Page 222 recites that on June 10, 1661, "Gyles Packard, Senior, for suffer. JOHN MOSES OF PLYMOUTH COLONY. 31 ing men to drink in his house, fyned 10 shillings. John Moses, for being drunke the second time, fined 10 shillings." As the most trifling offences were carefully noted in the Plymouth Colony Records, and as the old shipwright appears but twice before the court, we must conclude that his lapses were not frequent. The last mention in the Colony Records of John Moses of Ply mouth, comes to us from page 223 of the same volume, where he appears on July 23, 1661, to have been "summoned by Mr. John Alden, Assistant to the Governor, as the foreman of a jury of twelve men ' concerning the sudden death of John Bond of Plymouth.' " Volume VIII of the Plymouth Colony Records is principally filled with lists of births and marriages. Very few deaths appear. There is no record of the death of John Moses, or of births of children bearing the name of Moses, from which it is evident that John Moses had no children after his settlement in Plymouth Colony, which appears to have been at some time prior to 1640, CHAPTER II. A CONNECTING CHAPTER OF HISTORY. It is a part of the plan of this little work to give to the founders of the New England families of the Moses name an environment of history that will fit into, and with, the few personal items that can be gleaned from the records. It is stated in the opening sentence of Phelps' History of Simshury that "most of the inhabitants of Windsor left England in 1630, resided in Dorchester until 1635, from whence they moved to Windsor," A very detailed history of Dorchester has been published by the Antiquarian Society of the town, in which probably more than a thousand names are given of early settlers, including most of those found afterward in Windsor; but nowhere is mention made of John Moses, Matthew Grant's Record, made in 1677, published in appendix of Stiles' History of Windsor, is also strong evidence that John Moses did not come from Dorchester. It would therefore seem to follow that the town of Windsor must have had other settlers. Let us see. Both Stiles and Brown, in their published histories, give Plymouth, and even Mayflower ancestry to the Brown family of Windsor, and there is every reason to think that others of the early settlers on the Connecticut were from Plymouth. The Rev. Nathaniel Chauncey, the "colleague" of the Eev. Mr. Warham, was "born in Plymouth about 1639." From Prince, page 433, under date of 1633, is quoted: "Those of Plymouth are the first English that both discovered this place and built the same. . . We have a great new bark and a frame of a house with boards, nails, etc., ready . . . coming to our place since called Windsor." Prom Governor Bradford's History of Plymouth : " On the Sth of June, 1633, the Dutch completed a fort named the ' Good Hope ' A CONNECTING CHAPTER OF HISTORY. 33 about the place of the present town of Hartford." On passing the fort with the bark, Bradford goes on to relate that — "The Dutch demanded what they intended." .... "They bid them strike and stay or else they would shoot them, and stood by their ordnance ready fitted." " They answered they had commission from ye Gov. of Plimoth to goe up ye river to such a place, and if they did shoote they must obey their order, and proceeded." . . . Coming to their place (on the site of the present town of Windsor) ' ' they clapt up their house quickly," . . . " and palisadoed their house aboute." Prom Barber's Connecticut Historical Collection, page 124: "Plymouth House — This house stood about two miles southeast of the 1st Congregational Church, on the river bank, about twenty rods from a point of land extending down the river near the western shore. It was at the place that the Farmington or Windsor river entered the Connecticut. The mouth of the river is now about 60 rods above. The meadow lying in the vicinity of where the house stood is uow called Plymouth Meadow. , . . ." 1634. "A party of 70 men, Dutch, under arms with banners displayed, assaulted the Plymouth House, but they found it so well forti fied, and the men who kept it so vigilant and determined, that it could not be taken without bloodshed. They therefore came to a parley, and finally returned in peace." From Doyle, " The English in America," page 207: "In July, 1635, Bradford received a letter from Jonathan Brewster, who was at the head of the Plymouth settlers on the Connecticut, telling of the intrusion" (of the Massachusetts Bay settlers). "He would not apparently have objected to the occupation of vacant territory by the new comers, but they had specially set their afEeotions on the very spot which the Plymouth Government had bought from the Mohicans, and had held so manfully against the Dutch. The difliculty, it is clear, was mainly caused by the emigrants from Dorchester." Prom Jonathan Brewster's letter is also quoted: "It was your will we should use their persons and messenger kindly, & so we have done & do daily to your great charge, for the flrst com pany had well nigh starved, had it not been for this house, for want of victuals." We quote again from Doyle: . . . . " The emigrants from Plymouth protested against the aggres sion. They finally accepted a compromise. They were to retain their house, with two parcels of land, making 1/16 of the tract purchased from the Indians. For the rest they were to be compensated." 34 A CONNECTING CHAPTER OF HISTORY. Bradford states, "But the unkindness was not soon forgotten; " and on page 348: " This yeare (1636) two shallops going to Coonigtecutt with goods from ye Massachusetts of such as removed hither to plant, were cast away; . . . . afterwards another boate of theirs going thither, likewise was cast away, and such goods as came ashore were preserved for them. Such crosses they mette with in their beginnings which some imputed as a cor rection from God for their intrution (to ye wrong of others into ye place). But I dare not be hould with God's judgments in this kind," Doyle, in his "English in America," states that in "1636" " Fresh outrages by the Indians had been committed on the Con necticut and on a trading vessel from Plymouth." Enough has been quoted in the foregoing to serve the purposes of this chapter, which is to show, that although Windsor may be said to have been settled from Dorchester, still it had some years previously been visited by pioneers from the more adventuresome Plymouth Colony, who had made a foothold if not a permanent lodgment. It was the "far West" of the New England of 1640 to 1650. What more likely than that the young and hardy spirits of Plymouth should seek their fortune there. CHAPTER III. JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. John Moses of Windsor, of whom the earliest record is 1647, was a young man full of enterprise and spirit. Apparently without relations in this new community and adhering to the Church of England, he nevertheless seems to have not been with out friends. Important duties were early entrusted to him in spite of his youth and political and. religious disabilities, — and from the outset and all through his life he appears as a negotiator between the colonists and the warlike tribes of Indians immediately around them. The Plymouth Colony was peculiarly a trading and adven turesome community, constantly pushing in all directions for traffic with the Indians, and it is likely that young John may have gone to Windsor in search of ship stores or in some way as the repre sentative of his father's ship-building interests. He appears first in a business way as an agent or associate of John Grifiin, the pioneer of Massacoe, afterwards Simsbury. In the town records of Windsor is recorded the first Indian deed of the lands of Simsbury, afterward ratified by fuller deeds and covering about 100 square miles. It reads as follows: "These present writing shows that we Pacatoco and Pamatacount and Youngcowet, Indians and owners of Massaco Friends to him that burnt John Griifins picth and tarre — We doe hereby declare our unability to make satisfaction for the said losses any way but by the giving up our right in the land at Massaco unto the said John Gritfln; and in regard the said offender being resigned and delivered up now to us, and fully acquitted for all his miscariag to the said John Grifiin. " Wee the aforesaid Indians doe hereby promise to come, at any time or times to Coart or Coarts to passe over all our rights in all our lands at Massaco, only the named Indians do reserve two acres of land aud will themselves fence it in and maintaine it ; — And what writing John Griflin shall cause to be made, all we the aforesaid Indians do promiss to conflrm it by our hand and sealls freely set thereto as we have come to this present writing this 28th June 1648. witness hereunto The sign of Pacatoco JOHN MOSES The sign of Pamatacount GEORGE ABBET The sign of Youngcowet " 4 26 JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOE AND SIMSBURY. For a full account of this deed and subsequent ratifications, see the History of Simsbury, published in 1845, by Noah A. Phelps, where also may be found further references to John Griffin. On page 12: "In 1643 John Griffin and Michael Humphrey com menced the manufacture of pitch and tar." Page 11: In 1663, "A grant of two hundred acres was made by the General Court to John Griffin in consideration ' that he was the first that perfected the art of making pitch and tar in those parts.' This tract of land including another grant made subsequently by the town was after wards known by the name of Griffin's Lordship." On page 84 — petition for a grant, and as the third reason, in the prayer of the petitioners, "Also for our encouragement in raising tar and turpentine for the sup ply for his Majesty's naval stores, and our only valuable commodity in foreign parts." Page 80 : — " The manufacture of pitch and tar was com menced and carried on at this place by John GriiHn and Michael Humphrey then of Windsor, though subsequently both of them became inhabitants of this town. At first, they had a partner of the name of John Tinker, who afterwards settled as a merchant at New London. These articles being in great demand for the uses of the British Navy, as well as for ship-building generally, commanded a ready sale at high prices and were nearly the only ones allowed by England to be exported." Stiles speaks of "John Tinker,'' one of the partners, as of "Bos ton in 1654." Pitch and tar would naturally have been marketed at Boston, Plymouth, and Salem. If we now go back to the record of the lawsuit in which John Moses, the shipwright of Plymouth, was plaintiff, we find that he had difficulty in- obtaining a suflQcient supply of "pitch and oakum." The trading voyages between Plymouth and Windsor and highly probable dealings between the shipwright and the manufacturers of "pitch and tarre," would easily explain the asso ciation of young John Moses with Griffin or with Tinker, the Boston partner. As to George Abbet, who with John Moses procured the deed from the Indians, no reference to him is made in records of Dor chester, Windsor, or Simsbury. In Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. VII, p. 118, is given an account for military stores allowed to Pelig Sandford by the Court held in June, 1628, and in this account appears this item : " 1 c- 3 q.- 16 lb.- of biskett dehvered to John Alibet by General Cud- JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 37 worth's order." George Abbett does not appear in the history of the settlement, and he may have come from Plymouth Colony. To be among the Indians on the extreme frontier at this time required a stout heart as well as tact in dealing with savages. Dwight, in his History of Connecticut, p. 113, states that : "The Indians of Windsor were in a very hostile state at this time (1646), They burned a quantity of tar and turpentine, rescued by force one whom the officers had seized, and threatened messengers afterward sent to them." To go a little backward, it is now proper to state that the very first historical mention that we have of young John Moses, is found in the records of the Particular Court at Hartford, Conn. As will be seen later on, he, and Michael Humphrey, already men tioned, considered themselves "members of the Church of Eng land," John Griffin was made a freeman only by special action of the Court, and not until 1658, Even a mild adherence to the Church of England or Cavalier party, in those days, included a belief in gay social customs, which were abhorrent to the strict Puritans, Prom the Colonial Records of Connecticut, p, 160, is quoted under date of March 2, 1647, '-John Moses acknowledgeth himself bound to this commonwealth in Eecognizance of 20£ and Matthew Allen in 10£ pruided that he the said John Moses appeare at the next p ticular Court and keep good behauior in the meane tyme," As illustrating the offences of the time : — At the same session of the Court, "Edward Chancill for diulging misreports agt Hide is fyned 40 s." Also " Nicholas Gunning for a miscaridge, — beat ing of a cow of Ealfe Keelers,'' Something over a year later, June I, 1648, the case came up for trial and on page 164, same book, we find: — "John Moses for miscaridges w"" Dauid Wilton his daughter fyned 20 shillings." On the jury of twelve men who rendered this verdict we find the name of "Dauid Wilton," himself. As will be observed from its use in the Gunning's case, and in the Indian deed — abovementioned — the word "miscaridge" was a general term in those days, corresponding very nearly to the present use of the word "misbehavior." Very likely, in the flush of youth, he broke the following " Blue Law:" — (See Laws of New Haven.) "No man shall court a maid in person or by letter without first obtaining consent of her 28 JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. parents, 5£ penalty for the flrst offence, 10£ for the second, and for the third, imprisonment during the pleasure of the Court." As the young man was flned but 20 shillings, we must conclude that his offence was very trivial, or that he was for some reason treated with special consideration. , David Wilton afterward served in the same troop of horse with him, and also sold Jiim land. The association of Matthew Allyn, the bondsman for John Moses and his flrst friend of record, with the early Plymou1;h Colonists, is shown in the following quotation from the Memorial History of Hartford County : "Plymouth House (1638) — Lot 43| acres Indian title. The material for the house was prepared in Plymouth, Mass., and landed here Oct. 16 (36), 1633. When the pioneers from Massachusetts came here in the early summer 1635, they were entertained at this house by Jonathan, son of Elder Brewster, and we find him here still in 1636. When the Plymouth Colony sold their claim to the Dorchester people, 1637 (which covered a larger tract than is shown in the accompanying map), they reserved this lot and house and certain other tracts of uplands. These were sold, 1638, to Matthew Allen of Hartford, who came here and occupied them. There is strong presumptive evidence in support of the tradition that Mr. Allen used the material of this house in the construction of the house that he built on the reserved ' acre on the hill.' " From Stiles' History of Windsor we learn that Allen attempted to evade taxes levied by the town, on the ground, that haA'ing pur chased from Plymouth Colony, the lands were not amenable to tax of Connecticut. Stiles also states that on May 3, 1638, Lieutenant Wm. Holmes, " by power of attorney, sold to Matthew Allen of Hartford all the lands, houses, servants, goods, and chattels of the Plymouth Com pany in the town of Windsor." Somewhat previously to the date when he befriended young John Moses, Matthew Allen had his own troubles with the extrem ists of that generation, as witness the following quotation from the Memorial History of Hartford County : " He was excommunicated by the Church in Hartford, and June 3, 1644, he appealed to the General Court for redress ; the records do not show how the affair was settled, but it may have been one cause of his removal to Windsor. Nevertheless, few men in the colony had more influence or received more honors from the people than Mr. Allyn." JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 39 The Records of Plymouth Colony, Vol. VIII, show that a Matthew Allen — Wm. Allen, (who married Priscilla Brown,) and several of the Allen family, were repeatedly fined for " attending Quaker Meetings" and for "refusing to take the oath of fidelitie." From Lechford's Note Book, p. 416, we learn that "Matthew Allen, . . . upon the river of Connecticot," had a brother, "Thomas Allen," in Plymouth Colony. It will be noted that John Moses came into Court early in 1647. He had already been in the Colony long enough to make ac quaintances and friends. Later on he is remembered by one of his friends in a will, which appears from Trumbull's Colonial Records, to have been one of the earliest recorded in the Colony. It was dated October 17, 1648, and reads as follows: " The testament of Edward Chalkwell. Imp. I doe bequeathe vnto Nicholas Sension my gunn and sword and bandaleers and best hatt and 40 shillings. Item to John Moses, my best sute and coat and stockings and shoes. Item to Mr. Warham, 40 or 50 shillings according as my goods doe hold oute after my debts be paid. Item to George Phelps, 3 pounds and if anything be left I give it to the poor of the Church and I doe make George Phelps executor of this my will and testament. Witnesses Henry Woolcott, Nicholas Sension." The inventory of the property shows that his "coate, jackett, and breeches" were 3£ out of a total of 13£ 7s. 8d. Of the parties mentioned in the trial and in the will, four of them, Matthew Allyn, John Moses, George Phelps, and Henry Wolcott, are found previous to 1650, as owners of town lots close adjoining each other, and on the old Plymouth Colony property. Proceeding in chronological order, we next hear of John Moses in a deed dated May 1, 1649, and recorded in the Windsor Town Records, Vol. I, p. 120. The record reads: "John Moses hath purchased of Owen Tudor his house orchard and home lot aud hopyard with all the appurtenances lying on the East side of the highway, being 3 acres more or less in length from the bounds of Plimouth Meadow East through the swamp to the upland west as it Lyes, bounded North by the land of Matthew Allyn, South by the land of Ambrose Fowler in part and Henry Wolcott the Elder the residue, and by the lands of James Loomis the Elder West, East by Plimoth Meadow also 30 acres in the woods bounded North by the land of Thomas Ford, Every way else by the Common.'' Por a better understanding of this first purchase of John Moses, a copy in part of the map of Windsor, 1633 to 1650, is here reproduced. 30 JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 31 If this map "= was intended to show the actual owners of lots in 1650, then the name of John Moses should have appeared thereon in place of Wyatt. Owen Tudor must have sold the same year he bought, as it appears from the Hartford County Memorial History that "he (Tudor) bought the John Wyatt place 1649." The same history mentions that "John Wyatt only appears on record when his lot of two acres was sold to Owen Tudor, 1649." Plymouth Records give a Lieut. James Wyatt as a freeman of Taunton in that Colony in 1643. The name is unusual, and it may be that John Wyatt was a relative. It will be noticed that the house purchased by John Moses in 1649 is the nearest to the old Plymouth House, and following the southern boundary in the description, we find that it must have come within a few rods of the first English house and fortification in Connecticut, built by the Plymouth Colony in 1633. After the purchase of the Wyatt place, in 1649, we hear nothing of John Moses for more than two years. He may have been with John Griffin making and selling " pitch and tarre." It is unlikely that he, a young man, was permitted to live in the house he had bought, for the town records show that: " Dec. 1, 1651, John Moses had allowance to sojourn with Simon Miller in his house.'' The Hartford County Memorial History mentions, in connection with this entry that, in 1637, the General Court enacted that, ' ' No young man that is neither married nor hath any servant and be noe publick otficer shall keep house by himself without consent of the Town where he lives first had, under pain of 30 shillings per week." "No Master of a family shall give Habitation or entertainment to any young man to sojourn in his family but by the allowance of the Inhabit ants of the Said Town where he dwells, under the like Penalty of 30 shil lings per Week." The same history gives other instances showing the watchful guardianship of the town au.thorities. "Sept. 13, 1653, — It is assented that Isaac Shelden and Samuel Rock- Well shall keep house together in the house that is Isaacs, so they carry themselves soberly and do not entertain idle persons to the evil expense of time by night or day." Also that, "John Bennet should be entertained by William Hayden in his famfly." * A complete map of V\^indsor in 1650, is printed in Stiles^ History of Windsor, and in Hartford County Memorial History. 32 JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. Also, in 1656, — " That no person or persons whatsoever shall be admit ted inhabitant in this town of Windsor without the approbation of the town Nor shall any man sett or sell any house or land so as to bring in any to be inhabitant into the town without the approbation of the townsmen, or giving in such security as may be accepted to save the town from damage." John Moses having been quartered in the house of Simon Miller, we hear nothing further of him until the latter part of 1652, when he again appears before the Particular Court (see Manuscript Rec ords, Vol. II, at office of Secretary of State, Hartford). "Sept. 7, 1652, In action between Job Drake pit. and John Moses Defdt. . Jury find for Defdt. — Costs of Court." "Dec. 6, 1652, Owen Tudor pit. Contra John Moses Dfdt. in an action of slander to the damage 2 £. . . . Jury find for plaintiff." The marrriage of John Moses is thus entered in the Windsor Church record: "John Moses maeeied Mahy Brown, May 18, 1653." The writer has made careful search, and does not find the name of Brown among the early settlers of Windsor or adjoining towns, excepting, however, Peter Brown of Windsor, whose first child, Mary Brown, was born May 2, 1659. Stiles, Phelps, and Brown, in their respective histories, so frequently referred to in these pages, all mention the Peter Brown family of Windsor as of ^Slayflower descent. After his marriage, John Moses may have commenced house keeping in the Wyatt House, purchased from Tudor in 1649, or, if Stiles is correct, he may have lived on his other property in the immediate neighborhood. We read in History of Windsor, p. 136: " John Moses bought a part of Joseph Loomis' home lot on the west, opposite side of the highway, and sold it in April, 1655, to Nathaniel Loomis.'' In the manuscript records of the town of Windsor, Book I of Deeds, the writer found entered under date of July 9, 1656, sev eral parcels of real estate, and on the margin of the record the disposition made of the properties after the death of John Moses. These entries are: "July 9, 165G, John Moses has purchased of Thos. Bascom his dwelling house and home lot and 6-^ acres, more or less; also one parcel of 5| acres; also one parcel f JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 33 of an acre (afterward sold to Nicholas Palmer); also woodland (afterwards sold to Sami. Farnsworth); also butting against the lower end of Long Meadow, 32 acres; also in the 1^ or Long Meadow, 4 acres of meadow (afterward made over to Timothy Moses). John Moses has by purchase of Richard Sexton 2| acres of Long Meadow — (To Timothy), John Moses has pur chased of Walter Lee his home lot, 1 0 acres, in Windsor — (To Timothy)," Page 125, Dec, 31, 1660, — "John Moses hath purchased of George Phelps a parcel lying north of the fence of Plymouth Meadow — eight acres, more or less," Prom these, and similar holdings acquired at subsequent dates ; from town proceedings ; from his death at Windsor and probate of his estate; it is evident that the principal residence of John Moses was in Windsor, and that his residence and operations in Sims bury were made for business purposes, and perhaps for the sake of establishing his eldest son. He was of a bold and adventurous spirit, and four years after his marriage we find him enrolled under the then hero and idol of New England, Capt. John Mason of Windsor. In the town acts, March 11, 1657-8, — " A troop of 30 horse, the first in the Colony, was organized by the general Court and placed under the command of Capt. John Mason." In the list of troopers are 17 Windsor names, and among them "John Moses." It will be most convenient in the remainder of this sketch to write of John Moses in connection with leading characteristics of his life, and without reference to the chronological order of events. As a soldier he was for years subject to constant calls from other occupations to repress, and at times to fight the Indians, who, in the immediate neighborhood of Windsor, vastly outnumbered the whites. If we examine a picture of a soldier of the Cromwellian period, we can prolaably form a fair idea of the appearance of the Windsor troopers. In the account of " Two Voyages to New Eng land," 1638, John Josselyn gives the cost per man of equipping soldiers as follows: "Armor for one man 17 s — 1 long piece 5^ foot IL, 2s, — 1 sword 5s, 1 bandalier Is 6d — 1 belt Is — 20 lbs powder 18s, 60 lbs shot or lead, pistol and goose shot 5s." 'Winsor's Duxbury states: "The bandoleers were large leathern belts worn by ancient musketeers for supporting of their arms. It passed over the right shoulder and under the left arm.'" 5 34 JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. Stiles, in his Hislory of Windsor, page 157, speaks of the ".-steel cap and breastplate of Capt. John Mason." In King Philip's War, 1675-6, the hardships endured, and the sacrifices made, by the trooper, John Moses, were of the order that "try men's souls." His property near Mount Phylip (see old map of Simsbury) must have been swept away by the burning of Simsbury on March 26, 1676. T'iie -Memorial History of Hartford County describes it: "It was a Sabbath day. A band of Philip's warriors rushed through the deserted town and applied the torch to the thatched roofs, and'forty dwelling houses, with barns and other buOdings, were consumed. Fences, farming utensils, furniture, farm produce, and provisions were gathered into heaps and burned. The ruin was complete; not a house or building was left." Previous to this the different colonies had united to place an army in the field. In the campaign against the Indians, the close of the "Swamp fight," or "Storming of the Naragansett fort," in 1675, is thus described in Stiles' History of Windsor: "Amid the shrieks of women and children and rattling of musketry . . the Indian defences were flred . a dense column of smoke, which rose from the smouldering ashes, was all that was left of some 4,000 once brave and happy souls. It was a glorious victory for the English, but it brought sorrow as well as safety to their homes. 6 cap tains and 80 soldiers were killed or mortally wounded, and 150 wounded. Two days of exposure and three hours of hard fighting were followed by a distressing march through sleet and deep snows bearing with them their dead and wounded. The next morning the snow was exceedingly deep and the cold intense, and the jaded and frost bitten army could scarcely move. 400 troops were unfit for duty. Mason was so badly wounded that he died in a year after." Says HoUister in his History of Connecticut : "It would be idle for me to attempt to delineate the sufilerings of the wounded soldiers, — A part of them as the night aud storm advances be come insensible, — The pulses grew feebler, the cheek paler, and the frame stiffened into its fi.nal repose." Not only was John Moses in this battle, but we can fancy the feelings of a father when we know that he had two wounded sons with him on that terrible night march, boys of only 17 and 19 years. How full of pathos is this entry, which the writer found at Windsor iu the first volume of births and deaths: "Here I set down the deaths of several persons that were against the Indians and were wounded that they dyed. — It was on 19 of December, JOHN, MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 35 1675, — Thomas son of John Moses dyed July 29, buryed ye 30, 1681, — 33 years old, — W'" Moses son of John Moses dyed Nov. 37, 1681." The History of Windsor, in speaking of King Philip's war says: " To all the numerous levies drafted during the war, Windsor con tributed a large proportion of troops, having in the service at differ ent times 125 mounted dragoons, Tliese dragoons from their greater facility of movement were constantly employed in rapid marches, bearing dispatches and scouting parties.'' — Among these troopers "in actual service and receiving pay on war account" we find the name of " John Moses." On June 11, 1676 — "Contributions for the sufferers after the burning of Simsbury ; '' — among other names we find " John Moses £5-6s." His own house in Simsbury was of course destroyed. In the genealogies which follow these sketches, it will be found that many descendants of John Moses have been soldiers in all wars. They have not proved themselves unworthy of the family crest and motto of their English progenitors. (See Appendix.) John Moses exhibited a combative nature, not only as a soldier, but he also had the moral courage to stand out for his convictions in religious matters, though his position must have been costly to him and unpleasant in every way. He probably inherited from his father a belief in the tenets of the Church of England.'*' Under date of 1664 he appears as one of seven signers to a very remark able and curiously worded document, which is given in full, having been copied by the writer from the original in the State Library at Hartford : "To THE Honored and General Assembly op the Corporation OP Connecticutt and New England. " The humble address and petition of sundry persons of and belonging to, the same corporation showeth: * See Neal's History of JVeaj England, Vol. I, page 215, as to " thousands in New England " belonging to that Church in 1645. Lechford's Plain Dealing, published in 1641, p. 106; "Some late occurrencies concerning Episcopacie — Master Wilson did lately ride to Green's Harbor in Plymouth Patent to appease a broyle between one Master Thomas and Master Blindman when Master Blindman went to the worst and was sent away to Coneticot." (Lechford was lawyer for John Moses ; Green's Harbor the probable location of John Moses' shipyard in 1641 ; and " Master" was the title given by Lechford and some others to clergymen.) John Moses (1st) lived for more than seventeen years in Plymouth Colony before he "took the oath " as freeman in 1657 — which was the yegir that several were heavily *' fyned for re fusing to take the oath of fidelitie " and." for absenting themselves from the public worship of God." Winsor's History of Duxbury, p. 84, " freemen were on special application admitted to those rights" . . . "Church membership however being a necessary qualification." 36 JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. " That whereas, we whose names are subscribed being Professors of the Protestant Christian Religion, Members of the Church of England and subjects to our Sovereign Lord Charles the Second, by God's Grace King of England etc., and under these sacred ties mentioned and maintained in our covenant sealed with our baptism, having seriously pondered on our past and present want of those ordinances which to us and our children as members of Christ's visible church ought to be administered. Which we apprehend to be to the dishonor of God and the obstruction of our own and our children's good (contrary to the pious will of our Lord the King, his main purpose in settling these plantations, as by the Charter and His Majesty's letter to the Bay June 26, 1663, and thereways is most evidently manifested) to our great grief, the sense of our duty towards God, the relation we stand in to our mother the Church, our grateful ac ceptation of His Majesty's Royal favor, the edification of our own and our children's souls, and many other good Christian and profitable ends (as also at a late session of this honored assembly having secured a favor able encouragement from the Worshipful Deputy Governor) hereunto moving us, we are bold by his own address to declare our aggreviance and petition for a redress of the same. " Our aggreviance is, that we and ours are not under the due care of an Orthodox ministry, that will in a due manner administer to us those ordinances that we stand capable of, as the baptising of our children, our being admitted (as we according to Christ's order may be found meet) to the Lord's Table, and a careful watch over us in our way and suitable dealing with us as we do well or ill, with all whatsoever benefits and ad vantages belong to us as members of Christ's Visible Church, which ought to be dispensed by the officers of the same, of which being destitute, we humbly request, that the Honored Court would take into serious con sideration onr present state in this respect, that we are thus as sheep scattered having no shepherd and compare it with what we conceive you cannot but linow, hoth God and our King would have it different from what it now is, and take some speedy and effectual course for redress therein, and put us in a full and free capability of enjoying those afore mentioned advantages which to us as Christ's Visible Church do of right belong, by establishing some wholesome law in this Corporation, by notice whereof, we may both claim and receive of such oflicers, who are or shall be by law set over us in the Church or Churches where we have our abode or residence these forementioned privileges and advantages. "Furthermore we humbly request that for the future, no law in this Corporation may be of any force to make us pay or contribute to the maintenance of any minister or offlcer of the Church that will neglect or refuse to baptise our children and to take care of us, as of such members of the Church as are under his or their charge or care. "That in hopes that your careful and speedy consideration and issue hereof, will be ans\\ crable to the weight of the matter, and onr necessities, and that matters of less moment may be omitted till this be issued. We JOHN MOSES OP WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. 37 wait for a good answer, and for this Honorable Court we shall ever pray, etc, " Signed by William Pitkin (Hartford), "Michael Humphrey (Windsor), "John Stedm an (Hartford), "Jambs Eno (Windsor), ' ' Robert Reeve "John Moses (Windsor), " Oct, 17, 1664, Jonas Westover (Windsor)." Facsimile of the signature of John Moses to the above petition. ,,^,?^>^af^ It is probable that a similar paper was previously presented, for we find in the Colonial Records, under date of March 10, 1663, this entry : " Mr, Clarke in behalf of the Church complaynes of James Eno and Michael Humphrey for a misdemeanor in offering violence to an estab lished law of this Colony . , , , for several things coutayned in a paper presented to the Court . The Court having seriously con sidered the case respecting James Eno and Michael Humphrey do declare such practice to be offensive." . . . . "The Court remits the sensure due, provided answerable reformation doth follow." In the old Windsor Church record is given a full list of the members of the Church of Windsor in 1677, The name of John Moses is not found among them. Stiles' History of 'Windsor gives a petition of nearly 100 inhabitants on the east side of the river for a "Particular Worship," and among the signers John Moses, As this was May 13, 1680, and he died in Windsor three years thereafter, it is probable that he adhered to the Church of England all his life. Although they signed papers and took part in church quarrels, it is reasonably certain that the sons of John Moses were not mem bers of the Puritan Church, See a list of members of the Church of Simsbury in 1697 — {^Phelps' History, p, 55), in which the sons of John Moses are not mentioned. As soon as an Episcopal parish was established some of the Moses children were baptized therein, and for several generations a considerable number of the Moses name are found with that church. The Eev. William Gibbs was the first rector of the St. Andrews Parish in Simsbury. If we are to credit an account given b.y Peters in his History of Connecticut, 38 JOHN MOSES OF WINDSOR AND SIMSBURY. he was at times very badly treated by the Puritans. Phelps, in his History of Simsbury, says of him; "He was a missionary sent out by a society instituted in England for the propagation of the Gospel;" .... also . . . "Towards the close of his life ill health prevented his preaching, but it did not in the least diminish his ardor in the cause of Episcopacy, or his affection for his parishioners. Pew clergymen have lived more beloved, or died more lamented. His good name yet survives, though nearly seventy years have passed since his decease." The adherence of John Moses to the unpopular Church of Eng land indicates a strong character, and we are thetefore not sur prised to find him leading in the settlement of Simsbury, where, indeed, he must have resided at different times without giving up his property and home in Windsor. Phelps' History of ,Simsbury is now quoted, page 13: "The first grants by the committee of which any record exists were made in 1667." Among the twenty- three names we find John Moses located in " Weatague east." . " These persons did not immediately remove their families from Windsor to Massacoe, though it is believed that by 1669 all of them had become inhabitants of the new plantation." A tracing has been made by the writer, from the original in the State Library, Hartford, of a part of the map of Simsbury, made in 1730, and it is here reproduced. It will be seen that the loca tion of John Moses in the mountain pass by Mount Philip peculiarly exposed him to attack from the Indians. Very probably John Moses had some practical training in mechanics from his father, 'the shipwright of Plymouth. In the course of his business career he was connected with the building and operating of grist mills, saw mills, and cider mills; and the irons and tools in his house at his death indicate that he was familiar with the mechanics of milling. From Plielps' History, page 77: " The first mills erected in town were situated on Hop Brook, near the present site of Tuller's Jlills, and were built in 1679. These consisted of a grist and saw mill, and were put up by Thomas Barber, Johu ^Moses, John Terry, and Ephraim Howard, who contracted with the town to keep the mills in good repair, to grind grain for the tolls allowed by law, to sell to the inhabitants boards at four and six pence por hundred, and not to transport oak to any other tow n.

Page 87, No. 141 Jonah Moses, son of Zebulon (20). See personal paragraph in Vol. 1. In addition to the association at Rutland, Vt., of Jonah with "Zebulon, Jr.," therein stated, and the wide intervals in birth dates shown on page 60, attention is also called to the names in the family of "Zebulon, Jr." (See other pages of this volume.) Zebulon, the second, named a son by his first marriage, Jonah, and Zebulon's first son named his first son, Jonah, and his second son, Erastus. This circumstantial evi dence is quite as convincing as the traditions and statements handed down in families, and which have frequently to be accepted by genealogists. The writer has, therefore, no hesitation in definitely placing Jonah (141), and the father of Erastus (142), as the brother of Zebulon, the second. Jonah was a soldier of the Revolution in 1779 (see Moses Soldier List). He was in Col. John Ashley's Berkshire Co., Mass., Reg., and his company marched to Conn. Berkshire Co., Mass., adjoins Vermont, and the Moses name does not again appear in the County. Jonah's mUitary service was less than two months and his sojourn in the County was probably connected with his emigration from Simsbury, Conn., to Rutland, Vt. PLYMOUTH AND WINDSOR LINE. 187 Page 88, No. 143 John® Moses, son of Erastus'' (142). From the Chicago Evening- Post of July 6, 1898. "Death of Ex- Judge Moses. " Ex-Judge John Moses died at his residence 3803 Rhodes Avenue, Sunday. Interment was at Winchester, 111. John Moses was born in 1 825, and came to Naples, 111., in 1837. He served as county judge of Scott County and at the breaking out of the war was appointed private secretary of Governor Yates. Mr. Moses in 1881 began his historical work, 'Illinois, Historical and Statistical.' The work occupied the greater part of his attention for eleven years. Mr. Moses was the author of a history of Chicago, which he compiled with the aid of Major Kirkland. He was elected secretary and librarian of the Chicago Historical Society in 1886." He took a deep interest in the genealogical researches connected with the volume of this book published in 1890, and the writer holds in grateful remembrance the correspondence and personal intercourse of that and succeeding years. Judge John Moses stands at the head of the Moses family in literary achievement, and has reflected great and lasting honor on the name. The magnificent "HISTORY OP ILLINOIS," (1316 pages) will be his monument. See also personal sketch on page 88 of Vol. 1. He d. July 3, 1898. His widow, Mrs. Sallie M.

A granddaughter of Joshua Nelson Moses (the last of the Joshuas), Mrs. Louisa Waugh Pendleton, now residing at Winsted, Conn., has in her possession the old Moses family Bible, printed in 1734, and has kindly permitted a copy to be made of the family record therein. The first entry is evidently in the handwriting of the Joshua who first made a permanent settlement in Norfolk. It reads, "father Moses, his Deth in the year 1773 — Joshua Moses his bibel wich is entailed to him and his heirs." The following entries may be used to check with the names of children recorded on page 53 as children of the first Joshua (b. Oct. 3, 1689). Hannah and Mary, b. Jan. 14, 1719; Rachel, b.

CONTINUATION of CHAPTER V. JOHN MOSES OF PORTSMOUTH, N. H., AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS. When the first volume of this work was sent to the press, the writer was well aware, that the searching of the records of Ports mouth, of Exeter, and of Epsom, for names of other descendants of John Moses of Sagamore Creek, had been neglected. As stated on page 1 1 7, very little could be obtained by correspondence with old men then-living in Portsmouth ; and the traditions and statements of several Moses men of great age (see page 115 ), as to the* genesis of the Maine group of the Moses family, prove now, to have been erroneous. During the sixteen years that have elapsed since the former publication, the writer has made numerous notes and ex tracts from private letters and from the great libraries at Wash ington, giving pointers for further investigation. When a decision was reached, in the spring of 1906, to publish a second volume, four months was allotted to active correspondence, and within that time much valuable material relating to New Hampshire and Maine families has been received from WUliam H. Moses of TUton, N. H., who, in addition to other data, procured and furnished the writer at his own expense, copies of 400 Vital Records from all towns of New Hampshire, showing births, marriages, and deaths in the Moses families, during a period of about one hundred and fifty years. Theodore W. Moses has contributed the results of much labor in re cording the lineage of the Exeter families. Howard N. Moses, M.D., of Salina, Kansas, kindly volunteered to combine the old Maine ma terial with the new, which he almost entirely collected. He then furnished the rearranged text in typewritten printer's copy ( series 600), thus making a record easily understood and saving the writer much valuable time. To John M. Moses of Strafford, N. H., the writer is under obligations for the results of much searching in the city of Portsmouth. The last named correspondent belongs to a genealogical society, and writes that he has had the valuable aid of his relative. Miss Albertina Cate, also a genealogist. By his permis- 198 PORTSMOUTH LINE. sion copious extracts have been made from the material he has kindly presented, thus furnishing many items and new discoveries relating to the earlier generations. Many of the Moses names he has un earthed from parish records, deeds, tax lists, etc., are not herein mentioned, because their connection with the main line is obscure, and for the further reason that there are at the present day no known male descendants from the men bearing the rejected names, who would be interested in the argument for, or against, a connection. Such arguments, if lengthy or involved, can have the space required in such periodicals as the Boston Transcript, where they should be looked for. The writer has rejected hundreds of Moses names from all parts of the country because the circumstantial evidence as to connections with the two main lines was not, in his opinion, suffi cient. 400 JOHN^ MOSES, of Sagamore Creek, Portsmouth, N. H. As shown on page 95, in the deed to him of land in Cascoe Bay, he settled in this country as far back as 1639. It appears that John Moses deeded this same land on July 3, 1669, to his two sons-in-law, Joseph Walker, and Thomas Creber. From York deeds, and from Maine Hist, and Gen. Recorder, is also quoted the record, dated Dec. 13, 1721, showing that one-half of the same property was conveyed by Alice Shortridge and son Richard, as heirs of John Moses, she being the only surviving child of Thomas Creber. We know that Joseph Walker's wife was named Elizabeth from Portsmouth Records, May 20, 1674: " Laid out to Joseph Walker 28 acres — joins corner bound tree of Caleb Becks 13 acres, thence 112 rods, bordering along by his father Moyses land and Henry Becks land . of which 28 acres, is 15 acres given to him by his father Moyses, which was due to him frorn the town in 52 and 13 acres, given by the town unto Joseph Walker's wife, Elizabeth. " The wife of John Moses mentioned in agreement, page 99 of Moses history, it now appears, was previously a widow Jones. Her oath was taken as Ann Moses, executrix of John Jones' estate, Sept. 17, 1667. She had deposed as Ann Jones, Aug. 5, 1661. As John Jones died after Sept. 2, 1 666, we can place the second mar riage of John Moses at about 1667. We also know something about his span of life, for the N. H. Prov. Court papers, records his deposition, Oct., 1696, stating his then age at 70. PORTSMOUTH LINE. 199 Prom N. H. Prov. Deeds we glean other items: Aug. 15, 1651, an exchange of a little point of land, (an acre,) adjoining Ambrose Lane's saw mill on Sagamore Cree'k: — this was about opposite the Moses place. On Nov. 28, 1668, John Moses and wife, Ann, for love, etc., deed to son-in-law, Thomas Creber, seaman, 12 acres. On Mar. 5, 1664, John Moses, (no wife signs,) for love, etc., deeds to son-in-law Joseph Walker, tracts of marsh land up the creek, and branch creek, to the southwest. See pages 93 to 100 for other facts concerning John Moses, the Ancestor of the Line. Referring to the contract with his son, Aaron, for future support, dated 6th January, 1679, there has also been found a contract of a similar character, made the same day by near neighbors, Henry and Ann Beck, with their son Thomas. Francis Hucking wit nessed both contracts. Both instruments contain the words "sup posed son. " The papers appear to have been drawn by a lawyer, and we may presume that this strange expression was a legal phrase now obsolete. Also referring to the picture, page 98, of the old homestead, the title for which has remained in the Moses name for 260 years, and around which so many fond associations cluster, it is feared that unless some of the public spirited Moses descendants of the Ports mouth line shall be willing to invest in, and preserve the property, it may soon pass into the hands of strangers. Children of John' Moses: By his first wife, a son, Aaron, b. , d. June 1713; a daughter, name unknown; a daughter Elizabeth; a daughter Sarah. It is barely possible that Sarah may have been born after the second marriage. Elizabeth, va. before 1662, Joseph Walker. Children (perhaps uot all): George; Elizabeth. Daughter (name unknown), m. before 1665, Thomas Creber, a seaman. Children: Moses, d. without issue; Alice, who m. May 16, 1687, Richard Shortridge. Sarah. On the strength of the conjectures of A. D. Moses and of Brewster, Sarah is mentioned on page 103, as possibly married to Timothy Waterhouse. The will of Timothy Waterhouse names his wife as "Ruth. " Her family name is uncertain. We cannot say that Sarah was ever married, or that she ever received her wedding portion of five pounds. 401 AARON ^ MOSES, son of John (400). See personal sketch, page 102. After his death in 1713, his widow Mary was 200 PORTSMOUTH LINE. appointed administratrix of his estate. In 1733 his son James was appointed to close up its settlement. The inventory showed 97|- acres, besides marsh. In addition to: Children: James; Joseph; Josiah; Mark; Martha; Hannah; Abigail; and Sarah, mentioned on page 103; a son Aaron; and a daughter Elizabeth (Moses) Smith; are mentioned as having died without issue pre vious to winding up the estate Sept. 10, 1734. On account of Brewster's statement that Timothy Waterhouse mar ried a Miss .Moses, it has been surmised that Aaron might have had a daughter Ruth. No such daughter is mentioned in the settlement of his estate, and Ruth Waterhouse was living at the time. Aaron's widow, as stated on page 96, married John Sherburne Oct. 20, 1720. He was probably a cousin, and not, as stated on page 96, a brother of Aaron's first wife Ruth Sherburne, for that brother of Ruth died in 1698. For the reason that Aaron's widow omitted the son Aaron, and daughter Elizabeth, in her will (see page 101), it is assumed that they were the children of Aaron's first wife. 402 JOSIAH^ MOSES, son of Aaron (401), see page 104. He lived at first on part of Thomas Creber's place which he sold in 1727-8 and removed to Islington Creek, where he was living as late as 1761. He m. Nov. 12, 1719, AbigaU Nelson of Portsmouth. Children, according to North and South Church records; Abigail, bap. Dec. 4, 1730; George, bap. July 5, 1722; Mary, bap. Apr. 9, 1724; Nathaniel, bap. May 15, 1726; Daniel, bap. Mar. 31, 1728, was living in 1756. Nathaniel, had a daughter Catherine, bap. June 18, 1756. Oeorge, founder of the Scarborough, Maine, branch; see (600). 403 JOSEPH^ MOSES, son of Aaron (401), was a soldier in Fort WUliam and Mary in 1708. Mention is made in Prov. Papers of N. H., A'ols. 4 and 5, of payments to Joseph Moses; in 1724, for "Joyners Work on Castle boat," and in 1746, " In f uU for work done at ye battery at Jerrys Point to be paid out of ye money in Ye Treasury for Defence of Ye Government." He was by trade a joiner in Portsmouth. See page 104 for his first and second marriage, and page 97 as to the two chapters given by Brewster in his "Rambles" to "Doctor Joe," and his son and grandson. He also mentions " Madam Moses who kept a school in the Joseph Moses house about the period of the Revolution." She was doubtless the third wife and widow. Although more than one hundred and thirty years have passed since the death of Joseph PORTSMOUTH LINE. 201 Moses, his stories and peculiarities are yet talked over in Ports mouth, and only recently another author, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in Chapter VI of his "Old Town by the Sea," gives yet other tales and traditions about him. The stories, as related, do not appear to justify this lasting fame. It is probable that Joseph Moses was more a humorist than a wit, and as most observers know, the entertaining manner, and the subtle irresistible comicality of the humorist, very frequently can not be reported or reproduced, unless liy some gifted contemporary writer, himself a humorist. He was of the style of men known as " Characters," who are seldom found outside of pioneer communi ties. His strong individuality attracted prominent men who desired his company. His wives were religious, of fair social standing; his children were baptized, and Brewster concedes that the son, Samuel, a barber, "did those things which led to the spiritual good of his fellows." On Jan. 11, 1773, the sons, Samuel and Theodore, petition against the establishment of theatres in Portsmouth. The records contradict the idea of straitened circumstances which is somewhat implied in the above-named books. lie owned a lot 146 feet by 53 feet in the heart of the city, bounded by Congress, Fleet, and Brier streets, and he was one of the original proprietors of Barrington. His house was small, as were most of the houses of the Colonial period. It was, however, of a character to make it suitable for a school subsequent to his death. Also, see State Papers of N. H., Vol. 18: " Joseph Moses, on Sept. 9, 1745, sub scribed 13 shillings to support of French prisoners at Portsmouth," which is evidence that he possessed a philanthropic nature. He m. 1st, Aug. 17, 1712, Rebecca Ayres; and 2(1, before 1725, Hannah ; both wives were members of North and South Churches. He m. 3d, Aug. 10, 1759, Eleanor Lang (N. Ch.), presumed to be the widow of Joseph Lang, and the daughter of John Jackson, who calls her in his will of June 3, 1776, '-niy daughter Elinor Moses." Children: Joseph Moses, b.

Brewster relates, that Samuel the barber placed a stone in the pavement in front of his shop on which was inscribed his initials, S. M. ; and these letters stand in the pavement at date of this writ ing. A barber of the time of the Revolution had a trade not easily learned. Wigs were common, and longhair, then in vogue, was elaborately dressed. A good barber was also a dentist and a minor surgeon ; and his shop was a rendezvous for the choice spirits of the town. John Paul Jones was undoubtedly among them during his stay in Portsmouth, of five months in 1777 fitting out the " Rangerf and again for over a year in 1781-2, preparing the frigate " America," which he was to command. His father's house lot was sold by Samuel Moses on May 27, 1783 (Exeter Deeds 115-119), to Nathaniel Dean, who erected the building shown on page 185 of "Portsmouth, Historic and Pictur esque." His father, Joseph, left no will and the record shows Samueronly, as "signing out" on the estate, prior to 1813. He and Theodore, and a Thomas, signed the Association Test (page 97), Aug. 14, 1776. He m. Anna . Children (Perhaps not all): Samuel; Theodore, b. Sept. 20, 1766, d. Sept. 10, 1862; Joseph, b. Apr. 17, 1776 (see 514). 405 SAMUEL^ MOSES, son of Samuel (404), succeeded his father as a barber. He m. Jan., 1784, Mary How of Portsmouth. Children: Thomas, b. •. d. 1856; John and George, taxed in Portsmouth in 1833 as " sons of Samuel." Thomas; Brewster in his Rambles mentions Thomas. He is also men tioned in the Portsmouth Directory of 1839, and is not taxed after that year. John and Oeorge do not appear on tax lists after 1888. 406 THEODORE* MOSES, son of Joseph (403), was a barber, and so called by his father in deed to him of May 5, 1761. PORTSMOUTH LINE. 203 He is mentioned in New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Coll. as a Ruling Elder of the Ind. Cong. Church in 1777. His will, with an un usually religious preamble, names as Executors, his brother Samuel, and Joseph Walton, of Stratham. He m. Hannah , and seems to have died without issue. The N. Ch. records the mar riage, Jan. 25, 1785, of Joseph Walton and Hannah Moses, and Exeter Deeds 184-243, shows that Theodore's widow is "now Hannah Walton." 407 DANIEL* MOSES, son of Josiah (402), was a mariner, and resided on the north side of Deer St., Portsmouth (N. H. Deeds). He m. a sister of Robert Ham. (Rock. Deeds 203-480.) Children (perhaps not all): William, bap. (N. Ch.), Oct. 9, 1857, buried (S. Ch.), Feb. 20, 1795— (Exeter Deeds 145). 408 MARK^ MOSES, son of Aaron (401); (see paragraph, pages 104 and 109). He lived in Portsmouth, Greenland, and later in Epsom, N. H., to which town he removed between Oct. 17, 1758, and Oct. 9, 1762. His residence was about half a mile north. east of the present railroad station. He m. 1st, Oct. 29, 1724, Martha Wilhams, b. Nov. 18, 1702, dau. of Paul WUhams of Kit- tery, Me. He m. 2d, March 12, 1735, Jane Wallace, dau. of Wil liam Wallace, of Greenland, N. H. She was living in 1780. He d. Feb. 2, 1789, aged 86. He left no will He had deeded his land to his son James. Children: Samuel, bap. (S. Ch.), Mar. 26, 1726; Eliza beth, bap. (S. Ch.), June 1, 1739; Aaron, b. 1743, d. at Gilmanton, Mar. 20, 1816; WUliam, b. 1748 (was bap. and owned the Covenant at the age of 20 in 1768), d. 1828, iu Chichester; Sylvanus, b., not at Epsom, Aug. 25, 1754, d. Jan., 1832; James, b. Feb. 27, 1758, d. Aug. 17, 1819; Jenny, (probably named for her mother,) was bap. in the Epsom Cong. Church, Dec. 18, 1768, and the same day owned the Covenant, showing that she was not then a child. In the same church, Feb. 23, 1772, Samuel Moses was bap. and owned the Covenant and is entered on the record, "a man 84 years of age. " It is likely that the Samuel, b. in 1826 d. in infancy; this is all the more probable from the dates of Samuel's marriage and birth dates of some of his children. 409 WILLIAM^ MOSES, son of Daniel (407), was a truck man; lived in his father's house on Deer St., (Rock. Deeds 145,) m. May 15, 1777, at Greenland, Margery Grove (or Grover); she was buried (S. Ch.) Dec 15, 1813, aged 62. Children (S. Ch. records): Daniel, bap.

Joshtia, whose record of service with John Paul Jones and in the navy will be found on later pages, may have been a son. The intervals be tween the above-mentioned baptisms, the fact that Sarah, wife of John, had a brother Joshua, and that no Joshuas are found in contemporary jMoses families, the occupation of the shipwright John and his association with naval vessels, also the patriotic spirit of the family, as shown in the military services of John, the father, and of Daniel, who would have been a brother, are all circumstances lending the weight of evidence to the conjecture. 411 DANIEL^ MOSES, son of John (410), was a soldier of the Revolution, and was also in the Navy. (See his fine record in the Moses soldier list.) Both he and his widow had government pensions, and from her statement it appears that he m. August, 1789, Polly Cutli at Wendell (now Goshen), and that after the war they lived in Portsmouth and Wendell until 1810, when they re moved to Orange and Plainfield, Vermont. Her pension affidavit is dated 1843 from Barre, Vt., where they had then resided about twenty-five years. 412 AARON" MOSES, son of Nadab (see page 106 for marriage and full list of chUdren): Aaron' d.

Moses, M.D. of Salina, Kansas, to whom I am indebted for his great interest in this section of the book. 600 GEORGE* MOSBS, son of Josiah (402), was the founder of the Maine or Scarborough group of the family, and the discovery by Mr. J. M. Moses of the deed records, which prove it, adds more ' than one hundred years of American lineage to all of the said group. Records of deeds Vols. 30, 39, 40, 49, and 64 recite that: " Josiah Moses, tanner, wife Abigail, and George Moses, cordwainer, " owned two small lots on Islington Creek, Portsmouth. They mortgage and redeem these lots. George finaUy owning one of them. On Oct. 4, 1754, " George Moses of Scarborough, York Co., Mass., cordwainer, and wife Frances," convey the other lot and the house in which Josiah then lived. George Moses removed from Portsmouth and PORTSMOUTH LINE. 233 settled on a farm owned by Joseph Prout on Scottow's Hill, Scar bough, Maine (then Mass.), in 1754. Scottow's HiU was a land mark and was used in the early surveys, it is but a short distance from the sea, and from the site of the original Moses home, vessels may be seen passing to and from the harbor. Children: In the North Parish records of Portsmouth are found the foUowing baptismal dates (not birth dates). It is presumed that children were baptized at ages to suit the convenience of parents. The records read as follows: "Mar. 22, 1747, bap. George son of Georg<'; On Apr. 16, 1749, bap. child of George; On Feb. 3, 1750-51, bap. Ann, dau. of George; On July 12, 1752 or 3, bap. a child of George; On Oct. 15, 1775, bap. Nathaniel, son of George. "At Scarborough, the record of George's chUdren has been handed down as: Mary; Sarah; George; Anna; Katherine; Daniel (Dunstan, Scar. Ch. Rec), bap. June 30, 1754, d. Feb. s, 1824; Josiah, bap.

This book is intended as a history of two family lines only, and the names which follow would not have been here recorded, unless there were some slight probabilities favoring the theory that they belonged to one or the other of these main lines. If sufficient circumstantial evidence could have been found to warrant the connection, such names would have been included in the preceding chapters; but surmises only are not such evidence, and these names are therefore classed under a separate heading. 800 SAMUEL MOSES, b. 1749, d. in Warwick, May 9, 1834: — parents unknown — lived in Royalton, Worcester Co., Mass., and in Warwick, Mass., m. Jan. 30, 1773, at Richmond, N. H., by Rev. M. BaUou, to Lydia Ballou. Philo and Philander Moses (twins) lived for many years about twenty miles from the writer's birthplace in Central New York. In 1902 PhUander P. writes that, "his grandfather Samuel of Warwick when young went whaling voyages at sea and after marriage commenced the tanning boot and shoe business." This statement makes it probable that Samuel lived at the seashore before he appears at Royalton, and we naturally look for him among the numerous Samuels of the Moses sailor family of Salem; there seems however to be none of the name whose birth coincides with the above-named Samuel, who is first found at Royalton, Mass., but not born there. From the letters of PhUander P. and from the "Ballous in America," the following genealogical table is made, with the expectation that the connection with the main hne wiU at some time be established. Children: Sarah, b. 1774; Royal, b. 1776; Samuel, b. 1778; Anna, b. Sept., 1783; Lydia, b. May, 1786; Ambrose, b. 1788; Levi, b. ; Mary, b. . Anna, m. 1st, Mr. Chamberiin, 2d, Nathi. Proctor.

On page 117a partial sketch is given of the families and ances try of John G. Moses, and J. Woodman Moses, of Portsmouth. Careful searching substantiates the statements of these two old men, made sixteen years ago. Dates and details now furnished, give us a line for about one hundred and fifty years. The argument that this line is part of the Sagamore Creek family, is based on proximity of residence, and the chances that one or several of the second and third generations of the older family may have had sons who did not get a record in family or town archives. The opposing argument is: that tradition in the families them selves, and as shown in the manuscript of Alfred D. Moses, and the Brewster book, has all along favored the idea of two lines, instead of one, at Portsmouth. Also no claim has been set up at any time, of relationship. (Vide letters to writer in 1 889 from J. Woodman Moses, and Capt. John Oilman Moses, even then old OTHER MOSES FAMILIES. 257 men.) The fact that Portsmouth was an important seaport, gives greater possibility for an independent Moses immigrant, and the argument of proximity of residence does not count for as much as it would in an interior town. 804 THOMAS MOSES, of Portsmouth, (parentage not proved,) was a cordwainer. He bought the Drown-Moses place, 36 Vaughn St., Portsmouth, of Joseph Cotton, Nov. 21, 1778 (Rock. Deeds 110-460).

Adam Moses, Jacob Moses, Peter Moses, John Moses, Michael Moses, Samuel Moses, The writer has considerable material showing emigration to Pennsylvania in Colonial days of Moses famiUes of German and Swiss extraction belong ing to the Lutheran faith. Many of the descendants of this sturdy and patriotic stock have made successful business and professional careers. A few instances are given in outline, as starting points for a future geneal ogist. Mr. William E. Moses, an Attorney of Denver, Colo., and Washington, D. C, communicates the following: " Great-grandfather, Jacob Moses," (See foregoing list,) "was a native of 270 MOSES SOLDIER LIST. Germany, born 1739. He was a man of affairs, a reading man, an ardent student of the Bible; he affiliated with the Lutheran Church. He lived at East Berlin, Pa., and had eight children. " Grandfather, John Moses, b. 1773, removed to Ohio 1801, settled near Somerset; had fourteen children. " Father, Jacob Creth Moses, b. in Adams Co., Pa., 1795, and d. in Brown Co., III. Ghildren: John Calhoun; Howard A.; Joseph H.; Susan A.; Elizabeth R.; Anthony H.; and WUliam E." John G. Moses, Editor Daily News, Westchester, Pa. , writes that he is descended from the Adam Moses of the Revolution, and gives his line. SUas Moses of New Florence, Pa., states that his great-grandfather, Adam, had three brothers; William, Michael; and Samuel, who came with him to this country. (See foregoing list.) Capt. H. S. Moses, of Canton, Ohio, states that his original ancestor was a French Hugenot from Alsace, who settled in Franklin Co., Pa., in 1750. Mr. E. B. Moses of the Watkins Banking Co., and the Gulf Land Co. of Lake Charles, La. , gives his chain of descent from the Peter Moses, men tioned above in the Penn. Archives, and states that Peter was a brother of Jacob Moses. The writer is well aware that the foregoing, summarized from a portion of his notes, does not come strictly within the scope and plan of this work. He makes no claim, however, that all of the names in the Moses Soldier List are descendants of John of Plymouth, and John of Portsmouth, though a large majority were such descendants. The Adjutant-General's Reports of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and some other states, contain many names of Moses men in the Civil War: they would have been published in this list, but for the labor Involved. In the Reports for the said states, the names are alphabetically arranged by companies, and not by regiments. Nearly 1500 company rosters would have to be examined in the Ohio Adjutant-General Report alone. APPENDIX. American Genealogical Works usually give, not only the his tories of families in this country and their derivation, but also some account of notable families across the sea who bear the same name and whose records date back of the first emigration to America. Reference is accordingly made herein to some such Moses famihes of the British Isles, also to some of their descendants who have in more recent years become residents of the United States and have achieved distinction therein. The writer has, in a few instances, been asked for assurances as to the purely Anglo-Saxon strain of the early Moses families, but there need be no doubt upon this point on the part of any one who can trace descent from ancestors living in Great Britain before the time of the Commonwealth. Those curious about such matters are referred to the 360 year period described on pages 596 and 598 of Vol. 8 of the American Encyclopedia. Also to Chambers Miscellany, Vol. 9, No. 153. In this work will be found the names of several men who have distinguished themselves in literature or in college and professional Ufe. It is gratifying to find that as far back as the days of the Stuarts there was a WUliam Moses, Master of a CoUege, a founder of scholarships, and of fame sufficient to have entitled him to a biographer.

Architectural History of the University of Cambridge, by Robert WiUis, M.A., Cambridge, 1886, Vol 1, p. 144: ' ' JMr. Sergeant Moses whose proceedings in reference to the matter are best described in the words of his biographer Dr. Sampson. ' After the displacing of Mr. Vines and death of Mr. Simson who suc ceeded, the fellows unanimously chose him for their Master which yet came under a great contest at Whitehall. ' Por the then called Protector would needs have imposed upon them another. But the Fellows by representation of his worth and serviceable- ness to the CoUege gained their point and got a revocation of his order. ' In the five years of his Mastership he bestirred himself for ye advance ment of his College as if it had been his only business and proper estate. He brought to some issue and settlement ye estate of Sir Robert Hitcham wch had been so long contested for, got the moneys received from it into the College hands, raised that buUding wch bears his name. "That old and withered face of that ancient and pious fo.undation he re paired and madf it look young again. The building over the Ubrary which was ready to tumble down and the walls of the College which were so decayed, rueful and Ulfavored that they would rather affright students from them than bring them thither, he brought to this pleasant aspect that they have ever since had. ' ¦ By his interest and acquaintance he procured many hundred pounds to be layd out upon them. And all this at a time when Universities and Col leges were devoted to ruin in the desires of some and the apprehensions of most men. " A Note to above extract. " Memorials of Mr. Sergeant Moses, Master of Pembroke Hall who died Oct. 30, 1688, aged 66, by Henry Sampson. MS. in Pembroke College Lodge. He was Master from 1654 to 1660. The Society was at this time said to flourish ' ' sub dispencione Mosaica — Dr. Ainslee, p. 98. " The following is from Professor J. P. Bethune Baker, dated Pembroke College, Cambridge, England, May 15, 1905, in answer to the writer's numbered queries. " Sergeant WilUam Moses: (1) Born in 1633, baptized Aug. 15, 1632, in the parish of St. Saviour's, South wark. (2) Father, John Moses, " a Taylor"; mother, daughter of Mr. Crow, Rector of Stoke, near Guilford in Surrey. (3) His money would be all of his own making. Father and mother died when he was three, and he was brought up un til eleven by the grandfather, Mr. Crow, who placed him in Christ Church APPENDIX. 273 Hospital, whence he came up to Pembroke and by his own merits won scholarships and patrons who provided for him. As FeUow, and Tutor, and Master, he would be in the way of saving something, but the chief part of his wealth must have come after he re tired from Cambridge. When he was ejected at the Restoration and iu middle Ufe, he began the study of Law and evidently rapidly made a large practice. He became Solicitor and Counsel to the East India Company. So that though always a Uberal giver he left behind him about 8,000 pounds, according to Dr. Sampson, who says that an estate of that value might devolve on the College and Christ's Hospital; but I believe the Col lege received only 1,700 pounds, most of which was to be used for scholar ships for boys from Christ's Hospital. I don't know what the school re ceived. There were also legacies to " divers of his kindred and friends." (4 and 5). Can be judged from the fact that he was made Fellow origin aUy by the Earl of Manchester's Commission of 1644, the only one of the FeUows appointed who was a Pembroke man. So probably his political sympathies were with the Commonwealth. He remained Fellow all through and was elected Master by the FeUows, (all of whom were nom inees of the Cromwell party,) and accepted as such by Cromwell, though he had intended to appoint some one else (probably knowing little of Moses). At the restoration he was ejected. But Sampson says he had always argued for the Episcopal form of government as most suitable to Scripture and antiquity. He also declared he was pious and devout, although "the multitude of his business and the Debonairite and francness of his Conver sation and some bodily infirmities gave occasion to some that knew him little to misjudge him in some of these things." Professor Baker adds: "The life'^ is a short one and in English, — very racy and quaint at times." Prom Professor Carl Kinsley of the Chicago University, who was at Cambridge during the summer of 1905, I am advised: " The College (Pembroke CoUege, Cambridge University) is just now putting in a Memorial Window in honor of William Mosbs, whose title of Sergeant merely meant that he was a barrister. " On pages 179 and 180, Vol 39, of the Dictionary of National Biography, is found an abridgment of the foregoing. Quotation is made from the latter part of the article which gives a fuller ac count of the remarkably successful career of Sergeant William Moses after he was removed from the Mastership of Pembroke College, Cambridge University: "At the Restoration Laney was reinstated. Moses was not in orders, and was disinclined to enter the ministry of the Established Church thouo-h he was averse to Presbyterianism and in favor of moderate Episco pacy. His deeply religious mind was cast in a puritan mould; Baxter 274 APPENDIX. was very desirous to have him appear as one of the Commissioners, Mar. 25, 1661, to the Savoy Conference, but could not prevail. ' ' His own health led Moses to have some practical acquaintance with medicine, and he was the friend of several leading physicians. But after hesitating as to his future vocation he turned to the law and became Coun sel to the East India Company. He was a ' very quick and ready man.' Charles II took particular notice of him when he pleaded for the Company before'the Privy Council. "The Lord Chancellor, Henage Finch, the first Earl of Nottingham (q. v.), said, that had he taken earlier to the law he would easily have been at the head of 'his profession. He was made a Sergeant-atJaw on 11 June, 1688, died ' a rich batchellor ' in the same year and left considerable benefactions to his coUege. A short Latin poem by him is included in Academise Cantabrigiensis, Cambridge, 1660, a congratulatory collection on the restoration of Charles II." From the same volume: "Miles Mosse or Moses; 1580-1614; a divine, educated at Cambridge University: proceeded D.D. between 1595 aud 1608." He published several books; one a "Catechism 1590, which is now only known by an answer by Thomas Rogers (q. v.), entitled MUes Christianus — ¦ a Defense written against an Epistle prefixed to a catechism made by Miles Moses." Also on same page: "Alexander Mosses: born 1793, Liverpool, England; an artist." A full column of the Dictionary is given to a description of his celebrated paint ings. That the Moses family was located in the County of Kent, before the year 1600, is proved by the following quotation from Mass. Hist. Society, Vol. 6, p. 57. " Dexter's List of English Exiles in Amsterdam 1597-1625." "Moyses, Timothy, (from Penshurst, Kent,) married July 6, 1613, Mer- riweather, Elizabeth, (from Ingoldswells, Lincolnshire). From the auto graphic signatures in the Amsterdam Marriage Records dated July 6, 1613." In early days the name was sometimes spelled "Moises,'' and again " Moysis," (see pages 89 and 95 of this work). From Diet, of Natl. Biography, London, Vol. 28: "Hugh Moises, 1733-1806. In 1787 was presented to the rectory of Greystoke, and was succeeded by his nephew, Rev. Edward Moises. In 1801 was chaplain to his old pupil, Lord Eldon, who had just been raised to the woolsack.

Comments by writer: In "British Family Names," by Barber, will be found the names of men who came with WiUiam the Con queror, and are recorded in Domesday Book. A Moyses is among them, and it is hkely that the name, of Norman French origin, was, in succeeding centuries, slightly changed in spelling, but no more so than with other names found in the same Domesday Book, or with English words in general. Take Chaucer's poems as originally printed, and note the wide variation from the present spelling. In a table of "Derivation of Family Names," Barber gives, "Moyse from Moissac, a local name in Prance." In early days, even in this country, the names of our own progenitors were some times written in the ^mJZm recorc^s, "Moises," "Moysis," "Mosses," and also "Moyses." See pages 89, 95, and 100, also paragraph, No. 400. Many inquiries have been made since the first volume of this book was published in 1890, concerning the Moses crest (see p. 119). In 1892, a very large illustrated work was published in Edinburgh, entitled, " Fairbairn's Book of Crests of Families of Great Britain and Ireland." 270 APPENDIX. On pages 112, and 113, of Vol 1, wiU be found a Ust of over 300 English families having a cock for a crest. (See the many forms of these crests in large plates 89, 90; and 91.) The "CocTc regard ant, (looking beJiind,)" is illustrated in No. 9, of Plate 91, Vol 2, and is described as the crest of the Byers, Byres, Greive, Moses, Kimberlee, and Tame families. Extracts from letters 1892-3 to Zebina Moses, from Rev. Richard G. Moses, Rector of Grace Church, Merchantville, N. J. . "We belong to a famUy which has lived in the parish of Meavy, Devon shire, England, and the immediate neighborhood, for many generations. I have a distinct remembrance of my grandfather's brother, Richard Moses, who was for a long time one of the Churchwardens of that parish and who told me that the parish register contained the names of several successive generations of the family, as far back as the Commonwealth period. He knew nothing of the older books, but the parish being a small one, the book in use fifty years ago covered a very long period of time. . . . In Walker's Sufferings of the Clergy, a book relating to the tribulations of the Church during the supremacy of the Long ParUament and Cromwell's Triers of Charles I, mention is made of the maltreatment of the rector or x'icar of Meavy by some of his parishioners, among them one Richard Moses was prominent. "When Charles II was restored, the vicar prosecuted Richard Moses at the Devon assizes for assault, and Richard Uke a prudent man acknowl edged his faults and was let off, at the vicar's intercession I believe, with a fine. "This was in 1660, and the probabilities evidently favor the opinion, that the JMoses family were of some local standing and not newcomers at that date. "Extract from 'Walker's Sufferings op the Clergy,' describing an occurrence at ^leavy, Devonshire, in which one of my family figures. Walker, the author, was a clergyman at Exeter, who died about 1730; " 'Joseph Shute, rector of Meavy, Devon, sixty years old, formaUy dis possessed of his Uving under the Parliament and Protectorate, but accord ing to accounts, much harassed by the parishioners opposed to him. The most notorious affair occurred on a Sunday, when the greater part of the parish conspired to keep him out of the church. Mr. Shutis attempted to get in by the great door, and was pushed back from the porch by one Richard Moses, which fall was like to have killed him. Then he went and preached upon the cross, and aUuded to the conspiracy against Paul as being like to the conduct of the parishioners. (Vide Acts XXIII, 12-14). After the King's return he brought his action against Richard Moses, and out of his religious nature forgave him upon easy terms. APPENDIX. 277 " The inference from this statement that Richard Moses was a leading op ponent of the rector is a just one, and agrees with family traditions which ascribe to us permanent residence in the parish and ownership of land of some sort. My grandfather's, younger brother, also named Richard, was a churchwarden of Meavy parish for many years, and he repeatedly told me about this Richard Moses of the Commonwealth period and his behavior towards his parson. The rector had a book, he said, which related this story, but he could not tell me the name of it. After my curiosity was excited, I had no difficulty in ascertaining that the record was in Walker's book narrating the persecution of the Episcopal clergy during the civil war and the Protectorate. Walker was an Exeter clergyman, and was likely to be well informed concerning Devonshire matters. I suspect that the Rev. Joseph Shute was of the stamp of the Vicar of Bray, celebrated in the famous old song, and as the rural folk were intensely royalist in their feeling throughout the West of England, it may be that Richard Moses was a stalwart royalist and churchman rather than a Puritan. Cer tainly the family had no connection, or tradition of connection, with any other reUgious belief and profession than that of the church of England, in my grandfather's time. Hc, George Moses, son of John, died in 1855, aged seventy -three years. He was born at Meavy in 1783, and was the sec ond sou of John Moses, of Meavy, whose death at an advanced age I dis tinctly remember. I think he was upwards of ninety, and therefore might have been only two generations later than the Commonwealth Richard Moses of Meavy. The parish registers of Meavy Church I have not per sonally searched, but my great-uncle, the late churchwarden, informed me that the rector had told him often that the family was mentioned in the oldest extant records. In the churchyard the gravestones bearing the name are numerous, although I do not remember seeing any of earlier date than the eighteenth century. The moor country storms, and the mosses growing on the stones, make havoc of the inscriptions in a very little while. My last visit was in the summer of 1870, when I spent a week in the neighborhood. My great-uncle Richard was then living and showed me the site of the cross and other noteworthy spots. . . . I met, and afterwards corresponded with two persons of the name besides yourself. The first was a very aged woman, over 90 years, living at Lymington, Hampshire, England. She told me that she was born in the Isle of Wight, not far from Lymington, which is on the Solent between the Isle of Wight and the main land. Her husband had been dead many years. A few years later I received a letter from a clergyman of the Church of England, making inquiries concerning my family history, but as he came from Ireland we were both satisfied that there was nothing but the name in common to us Meavy is a village on the edge of Dartmoor, about ten miles north of Plymouth, Devon. Near by are the parishes of Walkhampton, Sheepster, Shaugh, Buckland, and Monarchorum. The last named parish indicates that there were church lands in the neighborhood. " 278 APPENDIX. The late Reverend Richard G. Moses, from whose letters the foregoing history of the Meavy English family is quoted, came to the United States in 1873, and both he and his sons, by their abiU ties and great worth, have given distinction to the Moses name in their adopted country. Richard George Moses was born Oct. 23, 1833, at Devonport, England; graduated from the University of London in 1858. After holding pastorates of several Baptist Churches in England and the United States, he was ordained in 1882 in the Protestant Episcopal Church and became rector of Grace Church, Merchant ville, N. J., continuing in charge untU his death, Jan. 27, 1906. He was widely known through his writings and editorials in the Church Standard. He married in 1859 his cousin, Mary Matilda Bird. Children: John Robert, born Mar. 18, 1860; Arnold Henry, born May 3, 1862; WiUiam Horton, born Feb. 1, 1864, died 1896; Lucy M.; Edith G.; Mary A. John Robert Moses, son of Richard George Moses, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania; ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church 1884; Rector of St. Jude's Church, Philadelphia; and Saint Mary's, Wayne; and since 1903 has been Dean of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of the Diocese of Long Island in Garden City, near Brooklyn and NewYork. He married, 1885, Prances Garrison Thompson. Children: Charles Kingsley, born 1889; John Shapleigh, born 1891. Arnold Henry Moses, son of Richard George Moses, is an architect, resident of MerchantviUe, N. J.; married 1897, Elizabeth Spenser Walton. Children: Richard George, born 1898; Mary Walton, born 1903. William Horton Moses was editor of the "Paterson, N. J., Call, " and died from heat prostration August, 1896; married 1889, Mary Knight. No children. The appendices in these two volumes have been added largely for the purpose of making it clearly apparent that there have been many notable Welshmen, Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen of the Moses name, whose ancestry in continuous lines, dates back APPENDIX. 279 from the present year of our Lord, three hundred, to five hundred, years. From similar ancient stock, antedating the period of the Com monwealth, came the founders of the two great American families, whose history is given in this book. The End. * I N D E X TO VOL. II.
