   The Moulton family were known to fame in France in the eleventh century, when King William, the Norman, embarked for England. Sir Thomas de Moulton accompanied him and fought at the battle of Hastings, A. D. 1066. He was rewarded for his services with great tracts of land in Lincolnshire, and on that memorable field he built castles and religious establishments, maintaining a retinue of soldiers, laborers and priests. He lived in the proud style of the Norman nobleman of his time. He was called Lord de Vaux by the Normans and Lord of Gillesland by the Saxons. About 1100 the town of Moulton was founded in England.

   A Sir Thomas de Moulton was the leading character in The Talisman, by Sir Walter Scott. A great friend of King Richard, Coeur de Lion, he commanded the admiration and envy of the knights at the great tournaments of England, and during Richard's sickness was ruler de facto. In the Holy Land he was a leading crusader.

   A writer whose article on "Robert Smith of Boxford" appears in The New England Historic Genealogical Register, vol. 55, page 267, says, concerning Samuel, son of Robert: "The Topsfield records give a large number of children to Samuel Smith. It is impossible to tell whether they all belong to this Samuel or not, but his will mentions daughters and two sons, Samuel and Robert. I included the full list, as given in the church records in Topsfield."--and proceeds to give the birth dates of twenty children, attributing them to this man.

   The same writer states that this Samuel Smith married first Phebe Howe and secondly Rebecca, daughter of John Curtis of Topsfield.

   A critical study of Topsfield vital statistics as found in Topsfield Historical Society Collections, vol. IX, has led to the conclusion that these children were born to three different couples, viz., Samuell Smith and Phebe Dow, Samuell Smith "of Salem" and Sarah Curtis, and Samuel Smith and Rebecca Curtis. The following tables are submitted, with reasons given for the above deductions.
