CHAPTER XII.
DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM MOULTON, OF HAMPTON, N. H. (
i) William Moulton, born in Ormsby, Norfolk County,
England, about 1617, married Margaret, daughter of Robert and
Lucia (Lucy) Page, with whose family he came to New England.
His age is given as twenty years in his "examination" before
leaving England, April n, 1637. They landed probably at Boston,
thence he and the Pages went to Newbury, Mass., where it
seems they remained something over a year before joining the
new settlement at Winnacunnett, now Hampton, N. H., in 1639.
At that place he took up his permanent abode, settling quite near
Thomas and John Moulton. He died April 18, 1664. His will,
which is found in Essex County, Mass., Probate Records, Vol. 2,
pages 9, i o and n, bears date March 8, 1663 (4). He declares himself to be at that time "sick and weak of body." It is evident that Mr. Moulton was a man of more than ordinary ability and force of character. Coming as he did to a new country before arriving at his majority, presumably bringing little with him and dying at the early age of forty-seven, he left what was, for those times a large estate—a double mansion in one of the best localities of the new township with "orchyd," tillage land, "medow" and marshes,
together with personal estate to no inconsiderable amount. All this was distributed by his will with a curious particularity characteristic of the old country. This lengthy and formal document is appended in abbreviated form, as to give it entire would occupy too much space.

THO: BRADBURY, rec.
The tender care exhibited for "Margritt, his loving wife,"
shows that his early affection for her had suffered no abatement
in the lapse of years. An imaginative mind can find much of
romance and pathos in the story of this puritan youth and maiden
who left their English home in the little hamlet of Ormsby "near
Great Yarmouth and not far from Norwich. In County Norfolk"
and came for conscience sake to New England wilderness only
seventeen years after the Mayflower dropped anchor at Plymouth.
Margaret, his widow, married 2d, Lieut. John Sanborn. She
died July 13, 1699.
