Moses was a native of Litchfield, Connecticut. As a young man, he worked in an uncle's store, where he began learning the mercantile trade. Moses married a niece of Ethan Allen, whose family had purchased significant land in Colchester Vermont. In 1795, Moses visited the area, and in 1797 moved his family to Burlington.
Moses and his family were some of the earliest settlers in the area. His enthusiastic description of the opportunities in the area were credited with drawing other people from Connecticut to move to the area around Burlington.
In his biography of Moses Catlin (Vermont Historical Magazine), Henry W Catlin said that Moses and Lucinda had no children of their own. They adopted three orphans, one of whom died "early in life". Mary Harris, who is interred near other Catlin family members at Greenmount Cemetery, was one of those children.
In a death announcement published in The Burlington Free Press, the author refers to Moses Catlin as "Our aged and highly respected townsman." His obituary described him as "an affectionate brother, a confiding friend, a prudent counselor, a useful citizen and predominantly, a peace-maker." (Burlington Weekly Free Press, September 9, 1842.)
The land which once belonged to Moses Catlin became the home of Burlington's Hospital in 1879. The Hospital has undergone many name changes; in 2014, the name was changed to University of Vermont Medical Center .
