Notes - George Moses was the founder of the Maine or Scarborough group of the family, and the discovery by Mr. J.M. Moses of the deed of records, which prove it, adds more than a hundred years of American lineage to all of the said group. Records of deeds Vols. 30, 39, 40, 49, and 64 recite that "Josiah Moses, tanner, wife Abigail, and George Moses, cordwainer," owned two small lots on Islington Creek, Portsmouth. They mortgage and redeem these lots, george finally owning one of them. On October 4th 1754, "George Moses of Scarborough, York Co., Mass. (Massachusetts included all of Maine and New Hampshire at the time) cordwainer, and wife Frances" convey the other lot and the house in which Josiah then lived. George Moses removed from Portsmouth and settled on a farm owned by Joseph Prout on Scottow's Hill. Scarborough, Maine (then Massachusetts), in 1754. Scottow's Hill was a landmark and was used in the early surveys, it is but a short distance from the sea, and from the site of the original Moses home, vessels may be seen passing to and from the harbor.
