Official records are missing about this man of whom much is written.
He could have been the 1st born! He could have been born in England - before, or even during the voyage to America. (These thoughts are based upon his being listed 1st and receiving the most of his father's inheritance.)
Little is known about his wife and kids as well.
"Many claims exist in relation to a birth date of 6 Aug 1645, as occurring at Watertown, Middlesex Co,
MA; Wethers- field, Hartford Co, CT, and Stamford, Fairfield Co, CT. No record of his birth has ever
been found to support such claims. However, a conjectured opinion of this compiler is that he may well
be the eldest son, and born prior to Jonathan, either in England, enroute to America, or at Watertown,
Middlesex Co, MA. This conjecture cannot be satisfied, as the first two pages of the Watertown Record as records are forever lost to all time. No record of a birth at Wethersfield, Hartford Co, CT, nor at Stamford, Fairfield Co, CT is in evidence. An estimated birth year of 1645, is as near appropriate as can be made, and then only based on the known years of birth of his sisters, Hannah, and Lydia. Any other date and place can only be accepted as one of conjecture. If actually born in 1645, then his birth would have been at Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA [as indicated in this report], for his father Nicholas, is of record in Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA, as late as 6 Mar 1646, when he sold rights and privileges, all at Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA.
Early Genealogies claim that Moses and Abigail had three additional sons and a daughter, e.g., Israel, Jonas, Moses, and Mary. Current research indicates that Moses & Abigail had daughters only, as shown in this report, based on a 14 Feb 1712/13 Deed [Stamford, CT - Deeds, Vol "B":185], in which Moses bonds his sons-in-law, Thomas Pennoyer, Nathaniel Cross and Samuel Husted "to maintain their father and mother-in-law for their lifetime ". John Crissey, his former son-in-law & husband of his deceased daughter, Abigail, was not considered in this Deed as Abigail, had died prior to this time, and he had remarried. Their are no records that would indicate a male in this family, and is further proven by the fact that had there been (a) male offspring living in 1712/13, by law, he would have established a "heir of right" to the estate of Moses & Abigail. There are no records extant that would prove otherwise. Simply put, Moses, no doubt would have bonded (a) son in lieu of his sons-in-law, were he to have had such. Samuel Husted the remaining son-in-law, requested relief from the 1712 /13 Deed in 1725/26, thus indicating that Moses and Abigail were both deceased at that time. That Moses lived to be 110 years old as stated in earlier writings on this family can be labeled nothing more than an "atrocious genealogical blunder" including the claim that he died at Peekskill, NY !!"
