Historical Sketch of the Congregational Church in Belchertown by Mark Doolittle (1852, pg. 105): "Moses Cowles' house was burned in October, 1776, and three children burned to death in it; the eldest 5 years old. The father was abroad in the army, in the Revolutionary war. The mother was never well after this sorrowful event; she lingered till January 22, 1777 and died. The father moved away."

Moses Cowles Sr.'s granddaughter, Maria (Cowles) Hand (#61054819) recalls "I have frequently heard them tell over the sad story while tears ran down their cheeks & we children could not help crying too. Never were brothers more family united in Christian bonds than were these two–Moses & Asa. Their hopes, their aims, their fears were one."
