Moulton-3

 

Capt. later Col. Jeremiah Moulton (ca. 1688-1765), was an ancestor, on her mother’s side, of my paternal grandmother Esther Moulton (Whittredge) Smith. He was involved in successful expeditions against the Indian outpost at Norridgewock, Maine that took place in 1722 and 1724.

An account of a scouting expedition by Captain Moulton, transcribed by me from the Maine Historical and Genealogical Recorder, is posted below as a downloadable Word document.

Macomber notes

“Farm at Auction,” New Bedford Mercury, New Bedford, Mass., March 12, 1819

 

Posted here (above) as downloadable Word documents are a genealogical article about Elisha Macomber (ca. 1775-1855) of Dartmouth and New Bedford, Mass., as well as my notes about the Macomber family. My maternal grandmother was descended from Elisha Macomber.

The genealogical details are sketchy; the article contains a few facts which I was able to unearth. The genealogical notes were compiled while researching my Macomber ancestors from Southeastern Massachusetts. Most of them were in New Bedford, MA, with the period I was focusing upon being the nineteenth century.
