where he was born July 30, 1833. The Moultons are an old family in this
section, the origin of the family in New England dating back to 
colonial times. Among its most distinguished members was Benjamin 
Moulton, who was made captain-general over his Majesty's Province of 
New Hampshire by King George II in 1760, and since that time many of 
its representatives, if they have not attained so high a position, have 
at least been men and women of mark and influence in their respective 
localities, exhibiting strong traits of mental and moral force, 
combined with the religious faith, that was so prominent a 
characteristic of New England's early settlers.
  Joseph Moulton, the father of T. Greenleaf, was also a native of 
Hampton Falls and an active and influential citizen, who successfully 
cultivated his farm and improved the family homestead. He died in this 
town in 1888 at the advanced age of ninety-two years, respected by all 
who knew him. He married Mary, daughter of William Brown, and they had 
three children ; Joseph W., who until his death in recent years made 
his home on the place adjoining the original Moulton homestead; Mary 
E., who became the wife of Deacon Daniel Smith of Brentwood, Rockingham 
County, N. H., and T. Greenleaf, of whom we make more particular 
mention.  T. Greenleaf Moulton acquired a good practical education and 
was brought up to farm life and labor. His life was passed on the old 
family homestead, to the possession of which in due time he succeeded 
and on which he made various improvements. This place has been for 
seven generations in the Moulton family and name. Like his father, Mr. 
Moulton was a man of influence in the town and took an active part in 
its government, serving as selectman and on the board of education. He 
was highly esteeined by his fellow citizens for his ability, honesty 
and other sterling traits of character and his advice was frequently 
sought in matters of public importance. He married Emily Stearns, a 
daughter of Marshall and Mary Ann ( Chase ) Stearns, of Paris, Maine, 
and they became the parents of three daughters, the only surviving one 
of whom, Jeanette, graduated from Wellesley College and is now a 
teacher in one of the high schools of Boston, Mass.
