Biography

Moses was a son of John Bronson and Sarah Ventris.

Moses Bronson was born at Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut Colony.

"Moses ; b. 1686 ; m. Jane Wait of Stratford and d. Aug. 12, 1754. His widow and all his children, thirteen in number, are named on the Probate record as living at his decease. He was admitted as a bachelor proprietor Jan. 7 , 1706–7 , and again in Nov. 1722, having the “ fifth propriety lot, ” so called, which was formerly his own. It seems that he left Waterbury and was absent several years. His friends having no intelligence from him supposed him dead, and the Court, in 1712, ordered his brother William to take all needful care of his estate. (Hinman's Puritans.) He was discovered, however, the next year, in Stratford, where he remained some time afterwards, having several children born there . I find no mention made of him, as an inhabitant of Waterbury, from Feb. 1709–10, till after Nov. 28, 1722, when his bachelor lot was granted him a second time. Thomas Sherwood of Stratford assisted him in obtaining this grant, for which assistance, and for his journey, Bronson conveyed to him , by a quit claim deed, “ one half of the one hundred and twenty three acres ” of land -divisions then to be taken up , on the said bachelor's right. Bronson returned to Waterbury about 1723. He lived up the river on the west side." ^[1]
