  Death	9 Sep 1761	Mendon, Worcester Co, Massachusetts
  Notes	Moses died at 71 yrs of age. Moses was a blacksmith and became a Quaker Preacher. At the age of 21 he became affiliated with those Friends who were later to build their first Meeting House on what is now George Street. He was self educated and began preaching at the age of 25. From 1722 through 1741, this Quaker son of a Mendon farmer preached in most of the colonies as far south as the Carolinas, also on the Island of the Barbados, and lastly in the British Isles where he remained for almost two years. Moses died in 1761, age 71, and was buried in the Friends Burying Ground(George Street). No stone marks the grave of this fine man, or indeed any other, since it was not the custom of the Quakers. Moses' last will and testament was dated 08 Sep 1761 and named his well beloved son George Aldrich the sole executor of said will.
