Moses Dusenbury's younger brother, William, went with his 22-year-old son, William C. Dusenbury, to Addison County, Vermont, where the two Williams, uncle and nephew, took the freeman's oath in 1800. Moses acquired land there, and in 1805 and 1810 he sold two parcels there to Zadock Everest, Jr. The 1810 census shows that by 1810 William C. Dusenbury had left Vermont and moved to Cayuga County, New York.
