"Mary, wife of Moses Rowley, Jr., admitted to church in East Haddam, Sept. 5, 1736,"
and she united with the church at Kent, Conn., on May 6, 1744. This Moses Rowley is
found in many towns. Deeds in the several places show that he resided until 1739 in
Middletown, Conn.; from 1739 to 1743 in Sharon, Conn.; from 1743 to 1745 in Kent;
from 1746 to 1748 in the Oblong, N.Y.; and from 1748 to 1772 in Kent, and after 1773 in
Richmond, Mass. In Kent he lived on a tract of land west of Housatonic river, which is
described as being in "Scatacook," a part of Alger's grant. He also bought large tracts of
Jabez Castle, and Robert Watson, and appears to have been an enterprising man. His
dwelling was near Macedonia Brook in Kent, and near the line between Connecticut and
New York.
