The date of their marriage and the dates of their children are problematic. Did they marry in 1752 when they would have been 14 years old??!! Was Enoch born in 1753 or 1773? Did they have two sons named Moses, one born in 1755 and one in 1777?

Moses went to Dublin, Chester, New Hampshire and is on the list of those who worked on the roads in 1764-5. In 1766 he purchased the seventh lot in the eighth range. He sold this lot to Sibylla Johnson, spinster on 29 Jun 1776. He traded land in Dublin as late as 1782.

Moses was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in Col. Stark's regiment at Medford on 4 Oct 1775 and also appears on the rosters of Capt. John Mellen's company and Capt. Samuel Twitchell's company in the Rhode Island Expedition in Aug 1778.
