Cutting Moulton
So, after the close of the Revolutionary War, brothers, Samuel and Cutting Moulton, headed for the northern wilderness and settled in Parsonsfield, ME in about 1785. The children of these ancient pioneers are scattered far and wide. Many settled in York and Cumberland counties in Maine and Strafford and Carroll counties in New Hampshire.
"The Moulton families of Parsonsfield trace their ancestral line by authentic records back into the early colonial history, thence back, on authority that affords very strong probability of being correct, through nearly twenty generations of English families, until it is finally lost in the dimness of the eleventh century, in generations preceding the Norman Conquest." About the descendents of Samuel and Cutting Moulton..."Many have been quite scholarly, and have won distinction as teachers and in positions of honor and trust." Quotes are from the "The History of Parsonsfield".
