NOTES FOR (5010) REV. JOHN MOSS:
John Moss was in New Haven as early as 1645, perhaps earlier, and was a member of the General Court during several sessions. In 1670 at the May session he was active in procuring the act of incorporation of Wallingford, and succeeded on the 12th day of May, 1670, at Hartford. He was evidently the leading man of the new settlement, and was the pioneer of the settlers, being on the ground certainly as early as 1667, perambulating the country in that region for the purpose of settling a village there.

NOTES FOR (5011viii) JOHN MOSS JR.:
New Haven County Court Records, Vol I, p 252: (5011viii) John Moss Jr., along with (5015viii[1]) Ebenezer Clark and Joseph Royce, all of Wallingford, filed a complaint against Winfred Benham Sr. and Winfred Benham Jr., her daughter, that Sarah Clark, daughter of said Ebenezer Clark, Elizabeth Lathrop, and John Moss, son of the said (5011ix) John Moss Jr., were frequently and sorely afflicted in their bodis by the sid Benhams, mother and daughter or their apparitions. The accused was Winifred King of Boston who married Joseph Benham of New Haven in 1657. Although the case was dismissed, there appearing nothing material against her, save spectral evidence, Winfred was "searched several times for Tets; they tried the Experiment of casting her into the Water, and after this she was Excommunicated by the minister of Wallingford." (Robert Calef's "More Wonders," published 1700.)
