The family herein mentioned does not seem to have any connection with the numerous other Clark families early planted in America. With the usual tendency for adding an "e" to every word on the part of the early immi- grants that letter was frequently used as a termination of this name in the New Eng- land records. It has been discarded, however, by later generations.

(The Moulton Line).
In the year 1066 a Norman follower of Wil- liam the Conqueror named Thomas Multon, or de Multon, accompanied his chief into Eng- land, and after the battle of Hastings was re- warded for his services with large grants of land in Lincolnshire. Here he built castles and religious establishments, maintained a retinue of soldiers, laborers and priests, and lived the life of a feudatory of the king. From this Norman the Moultons of England and America are said to have sprung. Between the time of the first Sir Thomas and the pres- ent, twenty-five generations of Moultons have been born, and through nine generations, from the battle of Hastings, there continued to be some brave knights bearing the name of Sir Thomas, who were ready to respond to the King's call to arms. Sir Thomas of the fourth generation was sheriff during the ninth and tenth years of King John's dynasty, and in the fifteenth year of his reign attended the king in his expedition to Poitou. Two years later he was taken into arms with the rebellious barons and imprisoned in the castle of Corff. This was the Sir Thomas Moulton whose name appears upon the magna charta as one of the English barons who wrung this great muni- ment of liberty from an unwilling king. The fifth Sir Thomas de Moulton, Sir Walter Scott took as a leading character in his dra- matic story, "The Talisman." Being a trusted friend of Richard Coeur de Lion, and pos- sessing great physical power, he was the ad- miration and envy of the knights at the great tournaments of England. In the Holy Land he was a leading crusader, and was of all the knights the nearest to the king. Indeed, when Richard's sickness laid him low, Sir Thomas was the ruler de facto. Sir Walter Scott claims that in "The Talisman" some parts are fanciful, but that so far as King Richard and Sir Thomas Moulton are concerned he has followed English history. From such men as these are the American Moultons of this day, and among them are many who are the peers of their ancestors or of their fel- low citizens in those qualities of head and heart which make men leaders and trusted companions of other men. "All branches of the Moulton family had arms with devices somewhat different from each other in minor details, yet alike in the main, viz : A plain field, either of silver or blue; crossed by three hori- zontal bars, generally red, sometime sable.
This continued several hundred years, down to the arms which were granted in 1571 by the records, described as follows: Argent, three bars (gules) between eight escalloped shells, sable, three, two, two and one. Crest : On a pellet a falcon rising argent. Granted in 1571." The name appears in various forms, as Multon, Muleton, Moleton, Moulson and Moulton. Three Moultons-Thomas, John and William, supposed to be brothers, settled at Winnacunnett, now Hampton, New Hamp- shire, and from these all or nearly all the Moultons of New England are descendants.
(I) Robert Moulton came from England in 1629 accompanied by his brother, James, and son, Robert, in the ship "George Bona- venture," in the fleet sent with supplies to Governor Endicott. He was a ship builder and was in charge of the tools and supplies on the vessel, and was employed by the Lon- don Company to build ships for the Massa- chusetts Bay Colony. He settled first at Sa- lem, Massachusetts, and probably carried on his ship building at the present Fowler and Boston streets at the head of North river. He died at his residence there in 1655. He was made a freeman, May 18, 1631, and had a farm in Salem village, now Peabody. From 1630 to 1635 he resided in Charlestown, near the Charlestown end of the Chelsea bridge, at a place still known as Moulton Point, where he owned a house. This is the point at which the British forces landed when they made the attack on Bunker Hill. The name is also still preserved by Moulton street. Robert Moulton was a very prominent and influential citizen, and represented both Salem and Charlestown in the general court, being deputy from the latter town in 1634. He had chil- dren: Robert and Dorothy. The latter be- came the wife of an Edwards. By his will his farm was left to his son and grandson Robert, and to his daughter twenty marks and two pil- lowbers.
(II) Robert (2), son of Robert (1) Moul- ton, was an adult when he accompanied his father to Salem, and was granted land by the town in Salem village, where he lived and died in the fall of 1665. He was rector of an Epis- copal church at Salem in 1640, but the contin- uance of this church was prevented by Gover- nor Endicott, who considered it contrary to public policy. He married, in the spring of 1641, Abigail Goode, a niece of Emanuel Downing, who died in the same year as her

(IV) Robert (4), eldest son of Robert (3) and Mary (Cook) Moulton, was born Septem- ber 3, 1675, in Salem, where he resided until about 1708, when he removed to Windham, Connecticut. In 1721 he removed thence to Brimfield, Massachusetts, where he died August 25, 1756. He was a distinguished in- habitant of the town, and its first representa- tive in the colonial legislature. At the first town meeting in 1731 he was moderator and was chosen town clerk and chairman of the five selectmen. He was also moderator in 1733. and both selectman and assessor in 1732-33. He married, April 12, 1698, in Beverly, Han- nah Groves, of that town, who survived him.

He became the proprietor of a tract of land which he cleared up and whereon he erected a log cabin before taking a wife. Not long after his marriage he exchanged properties with his brother, Ebenezer, and became owner and occupant of what is termed the "Old Wales Tavern Stand," where he opened and for several years kept the first inn in the town. He married, January 30, 1739. Mary Haines, and both were living in 1768. Children : Sam- uel, Robert, Mary, Lois, Dorcas, Lydia, Solo- mon, John.
(VI) Robert (5). second son of Samuel and Mary ( Haines) Moulton, was born about 1744, in Brimfield, and resided in South Brim- field, now Wales, Massachusetts, and removed thence after his children were born to the nearby town of Stafford, Connecticut. He married Judith Morgan and had children : Mary, Patty, Samuel, Rosa. Robert, Horace, Nye. Solomon.
(Vll) Samuel, eldest son of Robert (5) and Judith ( Morgan) Moulton, was born August 22. 1784, in South Brimfield, and re-

The surname Mersereau MERSEREAU was originally spelled Mercereau, and is of an- cient French origin. After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and the persecu- tion of the Huguenots following, there was a general exodus of the French Protestants. Se- cretly and by night, often in strange disguises, fraught with great suffering and beset by (langers on every side, they fled in great num- bers to Switzerland, Germany and England. and not a few made their way to America. Among the latter was the widow of Captain John Mersereau, who with her three sons. Joshua, Paul and Daniel, and two daughters.

Mary and Elizabeth, fled to England in 1685. Of these children, Paul remained in England. the other four with their mother continued their flight to this country. Their father, a man of great force of character and energy, a son of General Joshua Mersereau, had died many years before. They intended to settle at Philadelphia, but were driven by stress of weather to New York and found a home on Staten Island. There the mother died, and was buried in the old French churchyard. Eliza- beth married Pierre Masse; Mary married John La Tourette, and was at Schenectady, New York, at the time of the massacre of 1690; her husband and children were slain and she was scalped and left for dead, but recov- cred and spent the rest of her life in the home of her elder brother Joshua, on Staten Island, wearing a cap to conceal the nakedness of her skull.

When the revolution broke out the stages belonging to the brothers were stopped and the horses turned over to the American service for the army. Joshua assisted in rais- ing a company for the Quebec expedition in the autumn of 1775. An edict issued from the British headquarters proclaimed John Merser- eau a "Rebel," and set a price of five hundred guineas on his head, dead or alive. He was a
member of the provincial assembly of New York state which met at Kingston and Pough- keepsie during 1777-86, representing Rich- mond county. He was also deputy commis- sary of prisoners, General Boudinot being his superior officer, with headquarters at Rutland, Massachusetts, and afterward at Elizabeth- town, New Jersey.
