Notes:

The first record found relative to Jude Moulthrop is that of his marriage, in Southbury, CT, to Betsey Wheeler, daughter of Obadiah Wheeler.
Obadiah Wheeler was an extensive land owner in the Colonies and in VT. Jude Moulthrop sold his CT properties after his marriage and moved to Rutland, VT, doubtless to that region by the Wheeler interests. Soon after his arrival he purchased a farm from the Osgood family, where he died in 1800.
His descendants have continued in that region and the old properties are said to be still in the family.
Through Betsey Wheeler the Moulthrops brought the blood of the dignified families of Tuttle and Howe to the family of Jude and through Tuttle and Howe ancestors the issue of Jude and their ancestors are eligible to the Society of Sons of The Revolution, Colonial Dames and the Colonial Wars. Jude Moulthrop fought in the American Revolution and was a prisoner in Boston, September 30, 1778

Jude married Wheeler, Betsey on 30 Jul 1777. Betsey was born on 01 Jan 1755 in Southbury, New Haven Co., CT; died on 16 Aug 1842 in Rutland, Rutland Co., VT; was buried in Rutland, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
