Description
Moses Esty House
Born in Enfield, Connecticut, on January 18, 1752, Moses Esty enlisted at Readington, New Jersey, in the Hunterdon County State Troops. The Committee of Safety elected him Lieutenant in 1774 and Captain in 1775 or 1776, as the war began. He fought in the Battles of Middlebrook, Bonhamtown, and Monmouth, where a gunshot wounded his left thigh.
Around 1779 or 1780, Estey moved to Morristown. After the war, he served as Collector of Internal Revenue for New Jersey during President George Washington’s administration. In 1832, he applied for a pension from Morristown, describing numerous missions chasing and fighting Tories around the area.
Moses Estey died on January 4, 1836, and was buried in the First Presbyterian Churchyard in Morristown. His home originally stood at the corner of Spring and Water Streets. In 1969, preservationists moved it to Historic Speedwell, where it was restored using Morris County Historic Preservation grant funds.
