This is a single coordinated purchase: Welch sold the 130-acre Lot No. 3 to five buyers simultaneously, each taking an undivided 1/ 6 share and mortgaging the purchase price back to Welch on the same day. Four of the five buyers map directly onto David & Mary Mosher's children (or their spouses):

Cummins Salisbury ↔ husband of Elizabeth Mosher
George Mosher ↔ son
Reuben Randall ↔ husband of Deborah Mosher
Benjamin Mosher ↔ son

That's a strong, document-based confirmation that these four households were operating as a family unit in a joint land purchase in Greenfield, Saratoga County — exactly where you'd expect if they were siblings and in-laws pooling resources.
