Notes
Event
He was a member of the first general court, February 18,1639, corporal 1642, New Haven and Wallingford, July, 1648, June, 1649, September, 1649, August, 1664. He was chosen corporal June 6, 1642. In 1664 came the entry on the town "Book:" "John Moss being bid to walk the rounds on the Lord's Day, came to the meeting house and stayed there so the service was neglected. He was fined 10 shillings." From a statement that John Moss of Boston was one of the debtors to the estate of James Hayward, in New Haven records, we might infer that he had some connection with the families of the name Morse (Moss) who were settling in that vicinity. At the age of fifty-seven years he was one of the incorporators of that part of New Haven which was set off as Wallingford, where in May. 1678, he was chosen commissioner to marry people. He was elected commissioner from Wallingford eighteen times, serving as deputy also, and for Meriden as well.Event

John Moss died in Wallingford, 1707, and is said to have been one hundred years old. This accords with his own statement of his age in 1670, when he signed as one of the incorporators of Wallingford as being sixty seven years of age, which makes his birth to have been in 1603-4.buried in CENTER ST.
