John Moseley, 55, died on October 27, 1661 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He settled in Dorchester in 1630; he was an indentured servant who earned his freedom on March 14, 1638 (or 1639). He and his wife had three children, Thomas, John, and Elizabeth. His wife died on December 3, 1661. In some documents, their surname appears to be “Maudsley” instead of Moseley. He may have come to America aboard the Mary and John (Captain Squeb), a ship of 400 tons, which sailed from Plymouth on March 20, 1629 (or 1630), and arrived at Nantucket near Hull on May 30. On June 22, 1638, he is recorded as the grantee of Thomas Kimberly’s house and land.
