General Notes: Husband - Rev. James Mossman


He was a Presbyterian minister of Scotch ancestry, who migrated to America from the north of Ireland in 1713, bought property near Boston, Massachusetts, and died in the United States. [HMC 1909, 704]

He was a Presbyterian minister, born in Scotland, who emigrated to Ireland and located near Belfast. He had two children: A son and a daughter. He came to America in 1713 and took up land now a part of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. He then returned to Ireland to bring his family to the New World. One account says that he either died in Boston or on the sea while homeward bound; the other is that he reached home and died there.
