Moulton Research

I answered an email this morning that had been setting in my inbox for a couple months regarding the MOULTON family.  The lady is also a descendant of Selah and Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON.  Hopefully we can tear down some of the brickwalls together.

She didn't indicate which line was hers, but mine is from their son Albert.  Albert has been somewhat of a mystery man, disappearing during the Gold Rush and heading for California.  I believe I have found him in the 1850 census of El Dorado County, living as a miner.  However, there are other Albert Moulton's in California at the same time, so I don't know for sure.

Albert MOULTON was born May 10, 1819 in Rutland County, Vermont, the son of Selah and Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON.  He married in 1848 to Emeline PHILBRICK, daughter of Joel and Sally (FOX) PHILBRICK.  They had two daughters: Clara b. September 1843 and Lydia b. January 1849.  Notice that the date of marriage must be off.

The family is briefly mentioned in The Descendants of Rev. William Worcester by Jonathan Fox Worcester.

Clara married John Adam METZNER and lived in Jay County, Indiana.  Lydia married Charles Sherman HAGAMAN and lived in Livingston County, Missouri.

Hagaman Resource

I was contacted by James LaLone who let me know about a resource for those researching the Hagaman family and other spellings.  The website  focuses on all brances and spellings of the Dutch surname: Hagaman, Hage(r)man, Hege(r)man, etc.

In my database, I have just a few Hagamans, etc.

Charles Sherman HAGAMAN born November 16, 1844 Rochester, Monroe County, New York.  He married February 1868 in Alexandria, Ohio to Lydia MOULTON, daughter of Albert and Emeline (PHILBRICK) MOULTON.  Lydia was born January 1849 in Illinois.  They lived their lives in Livingston County, Missouri, where Charles was a farmer.  Charles was a Civil War veteran of the 18th New York Infantry.  Charles died in 1925.  Lydia died October 17, 1916 in Chillicothe Township, Livingston County, Missouri.  Both are buried in the Edgewood Cemetery.  Lydia was a sister to my ancestress, Clara MOULTON.

Also, the wife of my ancestor, James GROENENDYKE (1770-1836) is sometimes listed as Johannah HAGERMAN, although I believe her surname should be ANTONIDES.  Interestingly, they did have a son names Thomas Hagerman GROENNEDYKE, so there may be a family connection.

More Hagaman data

Did some more surfing around the net to see what else I might be able to find on the Hagaman family, hoping that it might shed some light on where my branch of the Moulton line was living and to add some more descendants. Here is what I found:

At the website, The Worcester Family, was an online version of Jonathan Worcester's The Worcester Family, or the Descendants of Rev. William Worcester. (W.W. Kellogg, Lynn, Mass., 1856) and Sarah Alice Worcester's The Descendants of Rev. William Worcester With a Brief Notice of the Connecticut Wooster Family. (E.F. Worcester, Publisher, Hudson Printing Company, 1914), which listed the children of Charles Sherman & Lydia (Moulton) Hagaman as :

1- Clara Eliza, b Jan. 14, 1869, d Mar. 29, 1904, St. Joseph, Mo.; m Jan. 14, 1892, Joe Postlewart. 2- Lydia Emeline, b Oct. 17, 1870; m Jan. 10, 1898, R.D. Ward.
3- Wallace Joel, b May 28, 1872; m Aug., 1901, Rose McCully.
4- Charles Albert, b Nov. 28, 1874; m Dec. 18, 1892, Gertrude Onslow.
5- Nettie Jane, b Mar. 31, 1877; m Feb. 5, 1899. Farmer.


I also found Charles Sherman Hagaman in the 1900 census of Rich Hill Township, Livingston County, Missouri, with wife Lydia, and son Charles. By 1910, Charles Sherman & wife Lydia were living in the same township next door to their son Charles, along with granddaughter Mattie Postalwait. By the 1920 census of Rich Hill Township, Livingston County, Missouri, Charles Sherman was living with his son Charles, listed as aged 75 and widowed.

A search of the Missouri State Archives Death Certificates did not turn up a match for Charles Sherman Hagaman. However, Lydia's death certificate from October 17, 1916 in Chillicothe shows that she was born January 15, 1849 in Bureau County, Illinois. Her father was given as Albert Moulton, birthplace unknown, and her mother as Emeline Philbrick, born in Ohio. The informant was her daughter, Nettie Farmer of Jackson, Miss. Lydia was buried in Edgewood Cemetery.

Looks like I should be able to find Lydia & her parents, Albert & Emeline (Philbrick) Moulton in the 1850 census of Bureau County, Illinois. The hunt goes on.

Charles Hagaman family - 1880 Livingston County, MO

Today I sourced the 1880 census record of the Charles HAGAMAN family of Rich Hill Township, Livingston County, Missouri. Charles was my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, married to Lydia MOULTON. Lydia was the daughter of Albert and Emeline (PHILBRICK) MOULTON.

In 1880, Charles was listed as "C. Hagaman", farmer, age 35, born New York, with his father born in New York and his mother born in Vermont. His wife, Lydia, was listed as age 31, born in Illinois, with father born in Vermont and mother born in Ohio. The rest of their children were listed erroneously as having their father born in Illinois and mother born in New York. Obviously the enumerator switched the locations of Charles and Lydia's birth. Their children were all listed as being born in Missouri, and included : Clara, aged 11; Lydia, aged 9; Wallace, aged 7; Charles, aged 4; and Nettie, aged 2. The name of the last daugther was a bit hard to read, so Nettie is my best guess.

In the 1870, the family was living in Chillicothe Township, Livingston County, Missouri. I have not found them in any later census records yet. Charles was a Civil War veteran, serving with the 18th New York Infantry.

Charles S. Hagaman b. November 16, 1844 Rochester, Monroe County, New York, d. after 1880 census, m. February 1868 Alexandria, Ohio to Lydia Moulton. Lydia b. ca. 1849 either Ohio or Illinois, d. October 17, 1916 Livingston County, Missouri. Their children :
i. Clara Hagaman b. ca. 1869 Missouri, d. after 1880 census
ii. Lydia Hagaman b. ca. 1871 Missouri, d. after 1880 census
iii. Wallace Hagaman b. ca. 1873 Missouri, d. after 1880 census
iv. Charles Hagaman b. ca. 1876 Missouri, d. after 1880 census
v. Nettie Hagaman b. ca 1878 Missouri, d. after 1880 census

Widow Emeline Moulton - Licking Co., OH & Livingston Co., MO

The widow Emeline MOULTON appears in the 1860 census of Licking Co., OH and the 1870 census of Livingston Co., MO. Emeline was my paternal 3rd-great grandmother, the daughter of Joel and Sally (FOX) PHILBRICK and widow of Albert MOULTON.

In the 1860 census, Emeline is living with her mother-in-law, the widow Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON in St. Albans Twp., Licking Co., OH. She is listed as being aged 38 and born in Ohio. Her daughters, Clara, aged 16, and Lydia, aged 11, both born in Ohio are also living in the household.

In the 1870 census, Emeline is living with daughter Lydia in the household of Charles HAGAMAN. In this census she is listed as aged 48, born in Ohio.

Emeline was born May 29, 1817 in Johnstown, Licking Co., OH., and died January 16, 1882. One source states that she may have remarried to a Seth W. SHOEMAKER, but I have not confirmed this.
