Notes |
- Born by about 1591, based on estimated date of marriage. Shipwright who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1629 & settled in Salem. Moved to Charlestown in 1630; returned to Salem in 1636. Died in Salem between 20 February 1654/5 (date of will) and 26 June 1655 (probate of will). Married by about 1616 Alice _____ (assuming she was the mother of his children). "Alice Molton" joined the church at Charlestown 27 December 1632. She evidently predeceased her husband. His will contained bequests to "Goodwife Buffam" & "Joshua Buffam." These were the wife & son of ROBERT BUFFAM (1638, Salem), who was from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk & supports the argument that Robert Moulton was related to the Moultons of Ormsby, Norfolk. - Source: Anderson's Winthrop Fleet.
