Margaret  PAGE

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 11, 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, 10 and 11, bears date March 8, 1663. 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.
