He was a carpenter by trade. His father died when he was about three years old and his mother remarried and went west a few years later. His uncle, Benjamin Molby of Van Buren was made his guardian. He grew up in the town of Van Buren; married there and his two child- ren were born there. Some time after 1865 he went West, perhaps at the same time his uncle Benjamin did, and settled in Michigan.
According to Mr. Fred A Molby of Baldwin, Kansas, his grave is in Glendale Cemetery, Waverly Twp., Van Buren Co., Mich. 1865 Census. Van Buren--2nd Election District.

Sally " 25 F. wife " "
Simon L. "(?) 15 M. g.son " single

Note. The record before me of Daniel B. Molby gives him a son "Simon L. Molby." Here a Simon L. 15 years old in 1865, or born 1850, is given as "grandson." As Sally the wife of Daniel, is recorded as born in 1840, I think there is no question but what "Simon L." was a grandson of Simon Rouse in whose family Daniel and wife, Sally Rouse was living.
