 =================================

Moses Hildreth (1828-1893) is my 2nd great-granduncle and the brother of my 2nd great-grandfather, Edward Hildreth (1831-1899).  

I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents and a number of close relatives.  Information about the Zachariah and Hannah (Sawtell) family is in  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 29: #36, Zachariah Hildreth (1783-1857).

The "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations.  These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families.  

I post the 52 Ancestors and 52 Relatives sketches on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page, in my Ancestry Member Tree, in WikiTree, and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
