Occupation
Needham MOULTON was a blacksmith.
A forgeron, or blacksmith, was primarily a craftsman of wrought iron on the anvil. Protecting himself with a thick leather apron, he used a bellows (first made of leather, then wood and finally metal) to push the air that fuelled the coal fire of the forge, a type of cast iron table where the iron was reddened... Using pliers of various sizes to hold the hot iron, the blacksmith would then give it a specific shape with the help of different hammers. The blacksmith made farm instruments, vehicle accessories and even schooners, cemetery crosses, steel bandages, hooks for hay bales, etc.

Biography
Lived in this Town (Wales) most of his years, but his living here was not a single continuity, but was of different dates, for distinct, isolate portions of time, he living in intervening times in Monson, Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Holland.
His trade was that of a Blacksmith, though he often worked at other employments. He was never a swifter at any work, nor extremely laborious. He worked, not for the love of it, but because impelled by the good of necessity.
His character for truth and honesty was not by all esteemed immaculate. His sonted subserviency to his liquor-drinking appetite and propensity, in his later years, was cause of much uncomfortableness to himself and family, not diminishing, but augmenting his accumulations of wants and privations.
A few days before his death he told the writer his time had come, that he was dying of the old-fashioned consumption.

The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.
