Anson Moulton, retired farmer, P. O. Suffield, born December 7,1800, in Hampden County, Mass.; son of Jeremiah and Martha Moulton, also natives of Massacausetts, who came to and settled in Brimfield Township, this county, in 1817. The father of our subject served two terms as Associate Judge, was active in township affairs and attended largely to the settlement of decedents' estates. Mrs. Moulton died in 1846, and Mr. Moulton then again married. He died at the age of seventy-two years. Our subject married, August 31, 1820, Daphne Minard and they are the parents of the following children: Anna (Mrs. Wilson), in Rockford, Ill.; Jeremiah C, in Mogadore, Summit County; Myron (deceased); Carlista (Mrs. Russ), deceased; Charles; Sarah (Mrs. Williams); Calvin H., in Lead City, D. T.; Harmon Benton; Lydia (deceased); Bierce, in Kansas; Almon; Wilson, who was a soldier in the Twenty-seventh Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and died at Murfreesboro, Tenn., in May, 1863; Perry, who was a member of the Brough Guards and was drowned at the sinking of the steamer "Sultana" in the Mississippi River, April 27, 1865, and Cordelia (deceased). Mr. Moulton resided in Brimfield Township until April, 1864, when he removed to his farm of ninety-five acres in Suffield Township, where he now resides with his son Almon. The latter married Miss Kate Crine and has two children: Elmer and Walter. Our subject has always been a Democrat; has served the township in a public capacity repeatedly, and is a man above reproach.
