Jeremiah Moulton(b. York, Massachusetts (now inYork, Maine), 1688, d. York, 20 July 1765) was a New England militia officer and member of the Massachusetts Council.

As a boy, duringKing William\'s War, Moulton\'s parents were killed and he was taken captive in theRaid on York (1692). He was eventually released and served inFather Rale\'s WaratFort Richmond (Maine). Between 1721 and 1724 there were four attempts to capture the missionary FatherSebastian Rale; Captain Jeremiah Moulton played a prominent role in at least two of these, including the last, which succeeded, which is known asBattle of Norridgewock.

After this attack, Captain Moulton continued to take part in scouting expeditions. When the war was over, he remained a militia officer, but resumed his civil career. He became a judge, sheriff of York County, member of the Massachusetts Council, and holder of various other offices. He also developed farms and mills, and helped to found the town which later became Sanford, Maine.

DuringKing George\'s War, Moulton, now a colonel and one of New England’s most experienced soldiers, once more saw active service; he commanded one of the three Massachusetts regiments in theSiege of Louisbourg (1745). In April of that year he landed with the New England troops at Canso and went from there, leading a detached force of New Hampshire men, to capture and destroyPort-Toulousein early May. He sat regularly with the council of war at Louisbourg and stayed on after the fall of the town to help with its occupation. He did not return to Maine until December 1745; shortly thereafter he was appointed judge of probate for York County.

He remained an active and respected citizen of York until his death in 1765.
