Name |
Moses GODFREY [1, 2] |
- He settled at Monomoit about 1695, in that part called Cotchpinicut (Old Harbor) in the vicinity of the farm of William Nickerson, son of the first William. he was early interested in religious affairs and was a special friend of Rev. John Latimer, who remembered him and his wife in his will. When the church was organized in 1720, he and his wife were among the first to join. He soon, however, found himself at odds with Rev. Joseph Lord, the pastor, on account of the attitude of the latter towards Rev. Samuel Osborn and the church at Pochet (now Orleans) and was excommunicated, together with Mr. Elisha Mayo. They both were at once received again by the Pochet church, to which they had formerly belonged. Mr. Godfrey was selectman in 1710 and held other offices. He was a substantial citizen and reared a large family, which furnished energetic citizens to the town for nearly two centuries. [1]
