    He married twice. He married Angelique CHEVALIER Michigan Territory, circa 1824. According to Hardwick researchers they were married on July 11, 1824, by a justice of the peace. This corresponds with the time frame Judge Doty made an issue of the marriages contracts between whites and Indian women. He demanded that they be married under the current laws which the majority did.

    Angelique died circa 1832. He married Catherine LAROCQUE Green Bay, Michigan Territory, 7 June 1835. Catherine was born in Green Bay, WI. 11 Dec. 1818.

He was a young man of age 25. Moses was one of the man that acted as mail carrier traveling from Green Bay to Chicago and Detroit by foot, and returning with the mail.

They have living with them Moses Jr.., age 13, Lewis, age 11; Catherine, age 9; Jane age 7; Elizabeth, age 5 and Polly age 2. Charolette and all children born WI. His assets are $350. On the 1852, first Oconto County tax roll, Moses is listed as owner of the Pensaukee mill site, which is later taken over by F. B. Gardner.
