Robert MOULTON
Biography



"Robert Moulton landed from England in 1629. With him came his brother James and a son Robert, also grown to manhood. This son was a clergyman of the Church of England.
Of Robert, the elder, we have scraps of reliable history. From a letter to Governor Endicott we learn that Robert Moulton was entrusted with all the shipwright tools and supplies sent to the colony, the letter stipulating that Robert Moulton was to have 'cheife charge.' His brother James settled in what is now the town of Wenham, but was originally part of Salem. Robert the elder went to Charlestown and there acquired real estate, what is known as Moulton's Point, being named for him. There is also a 'Moulton Street' in Charlestown. Robert, the father, lived in the colony from 1629 to 1655. During those years he was active and influentual in the business and public affairs of the new country he had chosen as home." --Henry William Moulton, Moulton Annals
