Here lyes Buried
the Body of the Hon.
Jeremiah Moulton, Esq.
who departed this Life
July the 20th, 1765
Aged 77 Years.

"Early the next year, 1724 , Father Ralle and the Indian village at Norridgewock were destroyed. The fate of the Jesuit was truly tragical, but not undeserved; his influence had been used to encourage the barbarous assaults of the Norridgewocks on the defenceless settlements, in execution of the policy of the French government. The enterprise was conducted by Capts. Johnson Harmon and Jeremiah Moulton , both of York , at the head of two hundred men." 7

He became an "Indian fighter" after the York Massacre.
