Individual Notes
• Another more probable scenario, however, has this Rev. Hugh Mosher as the son of a Rev. Hugh Mosher, Sr., son of Stephen of Manchester, England. This Hugh Mosher, Sr. was at Saco and Falmouth, Maine and was first in Salem, Mass.
Hugh probably lived for a time in Westerly, but in 1669 he was admitted freeman of Portsmouth. Town records show him there as early as 1668. In 1680 he was pastor of the Tiverton Baptist Church which served Tiverton and Little Compton, RI and Dartmouth, MA. Before April 16, 1690, he had moved to Dartmouth, because on that day a man wrote to the governor of Plymouth Colony, “He is a substantial man...whatsoever Mosier doth, he doth publicly, and makes account he can in law answer anything he hath said or done.” Deeds show him a resident of Dartmouth as late as 1708, one in 1707 giving his occupation as blacksmith.4310, p 2
