Hi Cousins, I received the following information from a gal who wrote me asking for a lookup in some Champaign County references. She mentioned that she was a lookup volunteer for the book, "The Hazen Family in America." I mentioned my Hazen connection and she sent this after I typed up a couple of bios for her. Hope this helps any of you who are descendants of Increase Rudd. All the best, Celia Mary Hazen, born at Boxford, Mass, 1 Sept 1694; married at Boxford 4 Jul 1711, Increase Moseley, born at Dorchester, Mass., 23 Mar 1690/91; died at Norwich, Conn, 25 Feb 1730/31 son of Increase and Sarah (Trescott) Moseley. Mr. Moseley's mother, Sarah (Trescott) Moseley married second, Capt. John Peabody of Boxford. She followed her son and the Hazens in the migration to Norwich, died there 7 Jan 1724/5, and is buried in the "old Indian Burying-ground" at Franklin. The Moseley home was located near the cemetery at the foot of Pottapaug Hill. John Hazen sold fifty acres on the hill to Increase Moseley of Norwich in December, 1713. The records of the First Church of Norwich state that "Increase Maudsley and ye wife of Increase Maudsley" owned the Covenant 6 Nov 1715, and at the same time their first two children were baptized. 1.
