William married Margaret Page, the daughter of his employers, Robert and Lucy Page.

One article, however, “The English Background of Some Early Settlers of Hampton, New Hampshire from Ormesby St. Margaret, Norfolk, England” by William Haslet Jones placed William as the son of Robert WITHOUT ANY CONVINCING EVIDENCE. This has caused great confusion on many trees. In a recent article in the NEHGS Register by Myrtle S. Hyde she states, ”there has been an INCREDIBLE FIND by a friend “who found a reference that ‘colonial powers of attorney can sometimes be traced in English records’, citing as an example that ‘William Moulton of Hampton in New England’ sent one to England and in it stated that he had inherited lands in Ormesby, Norfolk, after the death of his father. A request to the Norfolk Record Office in Norwich, England resulted in the acquisition of the mentioned power of attorney, and it is genealogically exciting.
