8x great grandfather Moses Simonson was also known as Moses Simmons or Moses Symons in the records of Plymouth Colony. He arrived in Plymouth in 1521 on the ship Fortune from Leiden Holland. He may have been a Dutch native. By 1639 he was listed as a freeman in Duxbury which was still part of Plymouth at that time. He also owned land in the towns of Bridgewater and Scituate.
Moses married his wife Sarah sometime before 1635. There are some who believe her to be Sarah Chandler, a descendant of Mayflower passenger Roger Chilton. Their children were:
Rebecca, b. 1635 (?), married George Soule.
Moses, b. 1639 (?), married Patience Barstow
Mary, b. 1641 (?), married Joseph Alden
John, b. 1644(?), married Elizabeth Pabodie
Sarah, b. 1649(?), married James Nash
Elizabeth, b.1651(?), married Richard Dwelly
Aaron, b. 1653 (?), married Mary Woodworth
Moses Simonson died sometime between 1689 when hemade his will and 1691 when his estate was inventoried. I'm descended from his son Moses Jr. and Patience Barstow.
