I found a photo of Moses grave on Canadian Gravemarker Gallery and linked it to his profile. The grave inscription confirms that his wife was Martha Bell.
This 'Canadian Gravemarker' website is being merged into Canada's GenWeb Cemetery site at the end of the month, so I don't know how long this particular link will work. But I have saved the page to the Internet Archive & it will always be available on the Wayback Machine.
