Lt. Col. Hercules Mooney was born in 1710 in Ballaghmoor, Kings County, Ireland, and died April 1800 in Holderness NH. He married Elizabeth Evans abt 1737, daughter of Benjamin Evans and Mary Field. She was born January 16, 1715/16 in Dover, NH, and died February 1749/50 in Dover NH. She in buried in the Mooney Cemetery between Durham & New Market NH. Hercules then married Mary Spencer Jones bet. 1750/51 in Durham NH, daughter of Moses Spencer. She is also buried in the same Mooney Cemetery. Hercules died in April 1800 and was to be buried in Lee with his two wives. But Nature intervened. A heavy snow storm fell that night and the high winds causes big drifts. His family and friends placed his casket on a sledge drawn by two oxen. The sledge overturned. It was decided that he should be laid to rest beneath a huge willow tree on the banks of Squam River in the tiny Drew burial plot.
