Moses received numerous grants of land during his lifetime. His will indicates that he was a man of wealth. He was frequently appointed to positions of trust in Exeter and was Selectman for several years. He made his home in Newmarket, adjoining Exeter, and the charred beams of a portion of his original house are still to be seen in the country home "Gilman Terrace" which remained in the family until the recent death of Mr. Frank G.
