My paternal 3rd-great granduncle, Charles MOULTON, was born on this date in 1832 in Rutland County, Vermont. Charles was the son of Selah and Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON, and the younger brother of my Albert MOULTON. Charles married Charlotte Cordelia PHILLIPS, daughter of David and Charlotte (GILBERT) PHILLIPS, on September 23, 1853 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio. Charles was a farmer, carpenter and wagon maker. He resided in Marion and Warren Counties, Iowa and Holt County, Nebraska. The last record I have for him currently is the 1910 census of Holt County, Nebraska.
My paternal 5th-great granduncle, Jesse CHEW, was born on this date in 1773 in Gloucester County, New Jersey. Jesse was the son of Rev. Jesse and Mary (RICHARDS) CHEW, and the younger brother of my Nathaniel CHEW. Jesse married circa 1796 to Keziah KINSEY. Jesse died March 8, 1812, probably in Gloucester County, New Jersey.
