Notes for Moses TUCKER

The Compiled Service Records of the Revolutionary War Roll 593 from the National Archives indicate that he was a Private in Captain Benjamin Laing's
Company 22 September 1777.
He also purchased a plantation in the Fall of 1776 in Westfield from Samuel Smith. Smith "fled to the enemy". Moses indicated that he wanted the premises secured to him. Refer to p. 235 of the 1779 Newspaper Abstracts, NJ State Archives Series.
This family may have moved to New York City in the 1780's, as there is no trace of them in Westfield after the death of daughter Phebe in 1777.
He very likely died 15 November 1795 when a ferryboat coming from New York to Elizabethtown was upset. He was indicated as being "of New York" in that account (Georgia Gazette, Thursday, 19 November 1795, Savannah Georgia).

Need to check for his will.
