THE MOSELEY FAMILY .- The direct Amer- Ican ancestor of the Moseley family was John Moseley. Blake's Annals of Dorches ter has a frontispiece with a fac simille of his signature, with that of other free hold- ers, attached to a document making a con- veyance of land to the town. for the espec- lal establishment and maintenance of a free school, in 1641, in which he spells his name "Maudesley." All of this surname in New England are presumed to be descended from him. Savage, in his Blographical Dictlon- ary, says the name has had many changes, but that the spelling has long been fixed st "Moseley." In the old burying ground in Dorchester he was burled in a grave or tomb a few feet north of the Rev. Richard Math- er's grave. The memorial stone is in a good state of preservation.
