HERSEY, Elizabeth

Abt 1639 - 1719  (80 years)

WikiTree: Moses Gilman (1630-1702)

John was 8 years old when the family migrated; he sailed on the Diligent of Ipswich that arrived in Boston on 10 Aug 1638. In 1652, with his father, he was made a townsman of Exeter, New Hampshire. He married Elizabeth Hersey in about 1658. Moses received numerous grants of land during his lifetime. His will indicates that he was a man of wealth. He was frequently appointed to positions of trust in Exeter and was a selectman for several years. 

We are descended on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) line through Moses and Elizabeth's son Jeremiah who married Mary Wiggin daughter of Andrew Wiggin and Hannah Bradstreet (two very prominent families in the early colonies)
