Biography
Moses Collier immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).
Moses Collier was born about 1630, in England.[1] He was the son of Thomas and Susannna Collier.[2][1]
His father, Thomas Collier migrated to New England in 1635,[2]and since Moses was born about 1630 it is probable that he, his mother and siblings, migrated at that time as well.
By March 29 or November 15, 1655 he married Elizabeth Jones (alias Elizabeth Curtis, step-daughter of Robert Jones). She died 10 April 1657, 5 days after the birth of her son Benoni.[3]
