Biography

Some lineages give Daniel Mosher's wife as Elizabeth Edwards, but no record of a wife Elizabeth has been found, and no likely Elizabeth Edwards who might have been his wife has been found.^[1]

Daniel Mosher^[1][2] was born about 1678, at probably Portsmouth, or Newport, Rhode Island. His father "of Newport" had purchased land at Westerly, Rhode Island in 1660 and was in Portsmouth, Rhode Island by 1668.^[1] Hugh Mosher's property was on the line, laying partly in Portsmouth and partly in Newport.^[3] Hugh Mosher didn't move to Dartmouth, Massachusetts until 1690.^[1]

In a deed dated 20 Nov 1718 "Mary" Mosher witnessed Daniel's deed of land in Dartmouth. His wife Mary surrendered her dower in a deed of 9 Sep 1740. Daniel died at Dartmouth, Massachusetts in 1751. His will mentions his wife and names his children.^[1]
