Dorothy MOULTON [1] |
- In 1943, Mary Walton Ferris cautiously suggested, as a "theory justified by circumstantial evidence," that Dorothy was the daughter "Dorothy Edwards" whose bequest was 20 marks and two pullobers in Robert Moulton's will dated 20 February 1654/5 at Salem, Massachusetts (Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines (Milwaukee, 1943), 1:452). Except for dates, names, and the implication that Dorothy probably lived at a distance since she was to receive no share of the household goods, Mrs. Ferris had little specific evidence for this conjecture. However, it is confirmed by a combination of records in Connecticut which show that Dorothy Moulton's nephew Samuel Moulton (Robert2-1) of Salem was temporarily residing at Wethersfield when he died 25 September 1667 at the home of John Edwards's son Thomas in Hockanum (JWJ Med. rec., 759; Hartford Probate District, 3:60). the presence of this young man at Wethersfield, whose estate was also administered at Salem in June 1668, is naturally explained if Thomas Edwards's stepmother, Dorothy, was Samuel Moulton's aunt Dorothy Moulton. The two pillobers may have been in Dorothy's possession long before her father formally gave them to her in 1655. Her husband Abraham Finch's inventory a Wethersfield in 1640 included "2 prre of pilloberes" (Charles William Manwaring, 'A Digest of the Connecticut Probate Records, Hartford District (3 vols. Hartford, 1904-6; hereinafter Manwaring, 1:11). [1]
