The wills of both Robert and Abigail, his wife, are on file at the clerk of courts' office, Salem. 3. JOSEPH MOULTON, son of the preceding Robert, was a seaman, and when 24 years old disposed of the property left him by his father. He was then unmarried. This is all that can be definitely settled concerning him by any record yet found, but as all the other children of Robert can be traced out in their families, excepting those who died unmarried, it is not only possible but very probable that he was the father of Joseph Moulton of Lynn; more than this, a tradition in the family points that way. He was born in Salem Jan. 3, 1656. Allowing his son Joseph to have been born in 1700, he would have been 44 years old at the time. The town line between Lynn and Salem is but a short distance from the old Moulton homestead, being now the line between Lynnfield and Peabody, and has never been changed since the original laying out of the towns. It was therefore a very easy matter for him to become a resident of Lynn by removing a short dis ROBERT MOULTON, came from England, in 1629, to Salem, Mass., in a vessel called the George Bonaventure, one of the first fleet sent over to Governor Endicott with settlers and supplies. He was employed by the London Company, for a term of years probably, to superintend the building of vessels for the Massachusetts Bay colony, of which Endicott had taken charge the previous September, 1628. The spot where he settled and probably carried on the shipbuilding business is near the present corner of Fowler and Boston streets, at the head of North river. He owned a house there at the time of his death, and also a farm at Salem village, now Peabody. He was a resident of Charlestown for several years, and lived near the Charlestown end of Chelsea bridge, where he had a house, the spot being still called Moulton's point. He was representative to the general court from both Salem and Charlestown. He died at Salem in 1655. His will is preserved at the clerk of courts' office, Salem, and is dated Feb. 20, 1654. He left two children, a son Robert, and a daughter Dorothy, who married an Edwards. 2. ROBERT MOULTON, son of the Windham, Conn., in 1708. At about the above-named Robert, probably came from England with his father in 1629. In the spring of 1641, he married Abigail Goade, niece of Emanuel Downing, town clerk of Salem. He had land at Salem village granted him by the town, upon which he lived, dying in 1665. His wife died the same year. They had eight children, namely: Abigail, married Benjamin Belflower; Robert, married Mary Cook; Samuel, died unmarried; Hannah, married Thomas Flint; John, married Elizabeth Corey; Joseph, of whom hereafter mention will be made; Miriam, married Joseph Bachelor; and Mary, . tance. 4. JOSEPH MOULTON, probably son of the above Joseph, was married, at Lynn, Dec. 12, 1727, to Sarah Lilley, daughter of George Lilley, "both of Lynn." George Lilley was a resident of that part of Lynn now Lynnfield, and owned land there, which he sold. He removed to same time, many families from the vicinity removed to the same place, including Needhams, Flints, Greens, Shaws, Moultons, etc. His wife, Elizabeth (Hawkes), had recently died, and he had remarried, to Sarah Silsbee, of Lynn, with whom he took four children to their new home in Windham, leaving this Sarah less than two years old, with some kind friend, perhaps her grandmother Hawkes. That the other children all went to Windham is certain from the Windham records. There was no other family of Lilleys in Lynn at the time of his removal. This Sarah was born May 26, 1705. At the time of her mar riage she was therefore between twenty-two and twenty-three years old,and allowing her husband to have been born as before suggested, in 1700, he would have been at marriage twenty-seven years old. Joseph Moulton purchased land in Lynn Jan. 17, 1732-3, and May 14, 1733. This land is now in the rear of the city farm, on the road to Pine or Pan swamp. Here he spent his life, dying about 1766. He had four children, namely: Ezra, married Deborah Johnson; Solomon, died unmarried; Sarah, married James Green; and Ezekiel, married Catharine Hudson, daughter of Moses and Katherine (Kilby) Hudson. 5. EZEKIEL MOULTON, born at Lynn Nov. 17, 1740, was son of the preceding Joseph, and settled on the estate of his father, receiving quit claim deeds from the other heirs, Oct. 3, 1766. He occupied the premises thus obtained while he lived, pursuing the calling of a shoemaker, as his father did before him. He married, Nov. 2, 1771, Catharine Hudson, as before stated. She was born in the old Hudson house on Boston street, on the westerly side of Tower hill, the house having been torn down in 1876. He died Nov. 23, 1810. She died Jan. 1, 1833. They had ten children, namely: Joseph, born April 26, 1772; married Anna Mansfield Nov. 6, 1796. Solomon, born May 31, 1774; died, unmarried, Aug. 31, 1795. Ezekiel, born Dec. 17, 1775; married Rebecca Rhodes Dec. 25, 1806. Mary, born June 8, 1778; died, unmarried, Dec. 7, 1848. Catharine, born Sept. 23, 1780; died same day. Moses, born April 18, 1782; died July 2, 1787. John Lilley, born Nov. 6, 1784; married Sally Rhodes Nov. 1, 1807. Moses, born Aug. 21, 1787; died unmarried. Aaron, born June 19, 1791; married Sarah Palmer March 17, 1822. Solomon, born Oct. 19, 1795; died June 8, 1803. 6. JOSEPH MOULTON, first child of the preceding, born April 26, 1772; married Anna Mansfield Nov. 6, 1796; died at Northampton, Mass., Feb. 15, 1812. His wife died in Lynn April 6, 1810.
