Biography

Moses was born in 1862. He was the son of Caleb Kimball and Frances Nixon. He passed away in 1945.

Research Notes

Circa 1900, Moses claimed kinship with Col. John Nixon and Col. Ethan Allen, both through his Nixon mother.
Moses grew up near his Nixon grandparents, William Nixon (1802-1885) and Eliza Jane Collins (1807-1878), at least until 1880, when they all lived in Pottawattomie County, Iowa.
Based on this, Moses's claim of kinship is quite likely to be correct.
