Dea. Moses Thurston 2 {Moses1), second child of Moses1 and Hannah (bewail) Thurston of Hollis, N. H.; born there July 9, 1746 (another authority says born June 7, 1744, but more probably the July 9, 1746 is right); married, April 22, 1768, Esther Bigelow, born April 22, 1744. He died June 29, 1809; she died Oct. 24, 1831. Mr. Thurston was a hatter in Westminster, Mass., excepting a few years in Hollis, N. H. He was quite a successful business man; a minute-man in the revolutionary war; a deacon of the Congregational church, which he loved with a great love; a zealous and elevated christian. He was noted for a retentive memory. When quite young he was boarding in a family where the minister also boarded. One Sunday morning, while the family were at breakfast, he took the sermon from the table where the minister had been writing it and read it through hastily, went to the table and said he thought he should not attend church, as he would not hear anything new if he went. The minister protested, and said the sermon he was going to preach was a new one that he had never delivered. Moses said there was nothing in it that he did not know already, and further, that he could repeat every word of it. They doubted and he was requested to repeat it, which he did much to the amazement of all who heard him.
