  Family 2	Ann Catherine HATT,   b. 3 Apr 1778, Lunenburg County, NS d. Feb 1842, Indian Point, Lunenburg, NS (Age 63 years)
  Marriage	27 Dec 1813	Lunenburg County, NS   [3]
  	On 27 Dec 1813, as recorded in the Zion Lutheran register, Anna Catherine HATT, d/o John HATT and widow of John PENTZ, marries George Peter MOSHER. However, in subsequent ZLL register entries, the father of her children by this marriage is named Henry. My first guess is that Henry and George Peter are the same person, since I have no other way to explain a son of George Peter named Benjamin.

FHL mfm# 0555485: Jacob Moser, Sr to his son G. Peter Moser, registered 14 December 1792: " I , Jacob Moser, Sr. of Oakland with the consent of my wife Magdalene, for in consideration of the natural love and affection which I have and bear for my son George Peter Moser of Lunenburg and also for the better maintenance, support, livlihood and preferment of him, the the said son George Peter Moser----a certain 30 acre lot...#7 being on Indian Point, Oakland, Mahone Bay..." written 12 December 1792. When George Peter Moser of Indian Point wrote his will on 16 May 1845 he left legacies for his deceased son Nicholas' children, two lbs currency to each of four married daughters and when all debts and legacies were paid by sons Peter and Benjamin, then the rest to be divided.  When (John) George Peter Moser (aka Peter of the will before) of Indian Point wrote his will on 1 June 1864, he devised to his son Edmund Nicholas Moser, the 30 acre lot on which he resided ...the lot being #7..situated at Indian Point."
