Page Moses Squier
Born: c. 1770 At: Morris County, New Jersey Parents: Squier, Thomas Jr. and Jemima de Camp Religion: Presbyterian; poss. Methodist aft. 1819 Census: June 1793 At: Morris County, New Jersey Note: tax list Census: 1800 At: Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania Census: 1810 At: Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania Census: 1820 At: Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania Census: 1830 At: Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania Residence: Morrow County, Ohio Note: c. 1831 Died: c. 1840 Note: prob. a veteran of the War of 1812. A Mary Squier filed a widow's pension in the name of a Moses Squier, but no other information is available. Marriage: c. 1822 At: Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania Note: Moses Squier married first Anna Rutan April 29, 1790. She died July 5, 1819. Spouse: Ross, Mary Born: c. 1796 In: New Jersey

Note: the 26 year age disparity between them leads me to believe that Mary was a young widow by 1822, and that Ross was the name of her first husband. It would not have been uncommon for two recent widowers to marry, no matter the age discrepancy.

Note: if she was a Ross, she was certainly a descendant of: "George Ross, the founder of the distinguished family of his name in New Jersey, [who] was a Scotchman by birth, and one of those who were taken prisoner by the parliamentary forces at the battle of Dunbar, September 3, 1650. Owing to his youth, being then scarcely twenty years old, he was sentenced to transportation to the New England colonies, and he was sent over a few months later in the ship "John and Sarah," of London, John Green, master, arriving in Boston before July 28, 1651, when the Rev. John Cotton refers to him in a letter. He was a carpenter by trade, and he found his way to New Haven, before 1658, when he was made freeman of that colony. About 1670 he removed to Elizabethtown, New Jersey, where he was appointed lieutenant December 3, 1683, and one of the judges of small causes May 1, 1686. He was also one of the two deacons of the church in Mr. Harriman's time. He died at Elizabethtown, in January, 1705. He married, in New Haven, December 7, 1658, Constance Little."

Religion: prob. Presbyterian, poss. Methodist (aft. 1840?). Her children were very active in that faith, and it seems likely that they were raised in it.
