Biography

Moses was one of the earliest settlers in Muddy River.

"He was an active member of the First Ecclestiastical Society. Pres. Ezra Stiles records his name in his manuscript notes. He was a wealthy farmer and owned a great deal of real estate, one single piece of land being one mile in width and two miles in length."

"Although he had many sons, he gave each one a farm when they married."
