• Notes

  He emigrated to Richfield, Ohio in 1828, where he married Adaline Wallace. His uncle, Rev. James Miles performed the ceremony. Dan was a carpenter and bridge contractor and built many of these structures in the early days of Ohio's statehood. He was a staunch Whig in politics and took an active part in the political campaigns of his party. He was a great admirer of Clay and Webster and later, as an abolitionist, he voted for Abraham Lincoln and against the Fugitive Slave Law. He was one of the best informed men of his day and possessed a memory for dates and events that was truly remarkable. He served a year in the Quartermaster's Dept in WV with his son, Col. Charles W Moulton, during the Civil War." -from "Moulton Annals" by Henry W. Moulton (Chicago,1906), pp. 83, 96-97, 136-137.
