• Notes

  Thomas was in Newbury, Essex, Mass., in 1637. He came to Hampton in 1638, but he moved to York, York, Maine, in 1654. He was a twin, the 7th of 10 children and the youngest of 5 sons of Robert and Mary. He was made a freeman of Massachusetts March 31, 1638 and listed among the settlers at Hampton 'the first summer', in 1639. He was a selectman of Hampton for four year terms in 1644 and 1652 (See Austin's Moulton Family, p. C). http://worldconnect.rootsweb..com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wprokasy1&id=I12577 —— THOMAS, Newbury 1637, removed with Rev. Mr. Bachilor, in 1639, to Hampto n, by wife Martha had Thomas, bapt. 24 Nov. 1639; and Daniel, 13 Feb. 164 1; was freeman 13 Mar. 1639, and d. 18 Feb. 1665. (Savage vol 3, page 249) —— THOMAS of Newbury, Mass., then Hampton, N. H., 1638, finally of York, Me. Most of the York County Moultons are his descendants. The names of Thomas and John Moulton are found among the grantees and first settlers of Hampton. They had assigned to them adjoining house lots and lived neighbors to each other nearly twenty years, when Thomas sold his property to Rev. Timothy Dalton and removed to York, Me. It is not certain when Thomas left England, but he is thought to have gone first to St. Christopher in 1635, then being twenty years of age, and thence to New England. The relationship of these three is unknown, though they are commonly believed to have been brothers. (Some descendants of John Moulton and William Moulton of Hampton, New Hampshire, page 6-8)
