CONN. 201318O This little book is part of the much larger and more ambitious work " MORRELL & ALLIED FAMILIES" which has been long in preparation and which seeks to comprise all the descendants of Thomas Morrell of New- town. It is hoped that all to whom this book shall come, who may have any Morrell knowledge, will assist the cause by communicating with F. V. MORRELL. 177 QUINCY ST., BROOKLYN, N. Y- MORRELL The word " Morrell " is said to signify " Yellow Hair ; " the source of this tradition has never been ascer- tained. Apparently the name is of Latin origin; it is found in some of its forms in all of the countries of Europe, but it seems to be most prevalent in France and Italy. In spelling a very wide latitude prevails and seems to have been largely influenced by local conditions or in- dividual tastes. In those parts of America where the Dutch influence prevailed it was usually given with the broad sound of Marl, Marel or Murrell while in the English communities it has become latinized to Morrell, Morrill or Morriell, frequently with the accent on the last syllable. More than fifty different spellings of the name are recorded. MORRELLS IN ENGLAND The surname of Morrell existed in England prior to the year 1500; how much earlier or whence its origin, does not appear. Several American genealogists have concluded that the name is of French parentage and reached England by the way of Holland some time fol- lowing the religious wars of the sixteenth century in France. The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, whose mother was a Morrell and who was greatly interested in the study of Morrell history, inclined to this view and the theory finds additional favor from the historian of the Holland Society of New York. A number of Mor- rell genealogical sketches and historical reviews have been published in England but none of them aims to cover more than a single lineage or small group of the family and it has never been the good fortune of the writer to find evidence of authority on the subject of English origin. It is quite possible and seems probable that Hugnenot Morrells passed to England, and our American families may be of their descendants but it is also certain that the name was in England almost a full century before the period of the religious wars. In the British Peerage two Morrell alliances are re- corded both of comparatively recent date. 2 William Evans Morrell, Esq., married in 1870, Alicia, daughter of Sir Francis Houlton Hartwell, Bart. Charles Morrell, Esq., of Burcote, was married to a daughter of Rev. Sir John Leigh Hoskins. Among the landed gentry four Morrell families are given. John Morrall, Esq., of Plas Yolyn, Wales, married, 1669, Judith, daughter and heir of Thomas Edwardes, Esq., of Kilhendre. Jeremiah Morrell, Esq., of Wallingford, Berks., married, 1726, Mary, daughter of J. Smith, Esq., of Guilford. James Wright Hayward Morrell, Esq., of Forthamp- ton House, Gloucester, son of Baker Morrell, Esq., and Mary Elizabeth Chapman, born April 9, 1802, was married to Caroline Stuart of Montreal, Canada. Charles Morrell, Esq., of Milton Nile, Berks., was born Dec. 14, 1842. In the records of English Commoners the name Mor- rell appears many times and in the published Parish Registers and Vital Records of cities and towns it is of frequent evidence. NOTE The writer has heard of the existence of a Morrell family history com- piled at Somerset House, Strand, London, connecting the Morrells of America with some of the English families, but repeated inquiries at Somerset House and extensive correspondence in America has failed to locate any such work.

Y. allied to the Morrells of Newtown, Long Island have still another Morrell Arms, differing materi- ally from any of the English Arms here described. It is thought to be of French origin. No description is obtainable. MORRELLS IN AMERICA The first of the name to set foot on the shore of this country was William Morrell, a clergyman of the English Church who came with the Gorges expedition and was in Plymouth in 1623. He bore a commission from the Ecclesiastical Court in London, giving him authority to exercise certain supervision over the church in New England. Whether the religious atmosphere of Plymouth was not conducive to his spiritual well being or whether advances on his part aroused the Puritan resentment, is not fully known, but it is recorded that he never attempted to make use of his commission and remained scarcely a year, returning to London, where he wrote and published a long poem, in Latin, descriptive of New England, the land of plenty and privation. This poem he later translated into English and it was again published in the latter language. The Club of Odd Volumes of London has published facsimiles of both these publications of 1625 and the Massachusetts Historical Society has incorporated the work in full, in both languages, in Volume i of its Collections. ISAAC MORRELL Isaac came to America on the Ship Lion arriving in Boston harbor Sep. 16 1632. He is described as a black- smith but from what can be learned of his craft, he was, rather, a forger of ornamental iron work for buildings and ships. Before leaving England he subscribed to an oath of allegiance to his mother country (probably on compulsion) on June 22 1632. Isaac settled at Roxbury Mass, where records show he was freeholder 1633, member of Ancient and Honor- able Artillery of Boston 1638, member of the first church of Roxbury, Constable of Roxbury 1659, and is mentioned as one of the town's four wealthy citizens. In the list of passengers on the Lion the name is given " Isack Murrill." A facsimile signature, pub- lished, is " Isaac Morrell," while the inscription on his tomb, still legible, is "Isaac Moril. Dyed 18. 10. 1661. aged 74 years." Isaac was married in England to Sarah (surname not known) and their two oldest children were born there; five other children were born in Roxbury; he had two sons both of whom died in childhood so that none of his descendants bear the name Morrell. 10 ABRAHAM MORRILL Abraham is supposed to have come in the same ship with his brother Isaac although his name does not appear on the list of passengers, as preserved. His first home was in Cambridge, Mass, where his residence was on Brighton Street, but he soon removed to Salisbury where he is of record as receiving a land grant in 1640 and again in 1642, 1644 an d 1654. Abraham was also a blacksmith but he soon became engaged in other business and in 1642 records show he built a mill for grinding corn and wheat, in Salisbury; he was an original member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery and before his death became one of the most substantial citizens of his town. He married June 10 1645, Sarah Clement, daughter of Robert Clement, who was born in England 1590. All of their nine children were born in Massachusetts and through his four sons, his descendants are numerous. All write the name Morrill. The will of Abraham Morrill is dated June 18 1662 and was proven October 14 1662. Sarah Morrill, his widow, was again married on October 8 1665 to Thomas Mudgett. 11 Several genealogies of portions of the descendants of Abraham Morrill have been published and a compre- hensive work covering all, or nearly all, of his posterity is said to be about ready for publication. 12 JOHN MORRELL John Morrell, born in England 1640, came to America and was granted land in 1668 where is now the State of Maine some miles north of Kittery, which land he exchanged a few years later for land in Kittery where for many years he conducted a ferry to Dover and in 1686 secured a license to establish a house of enter- tainment in connection with his ferry. Some of his land is said to have remained in possession of his descend- ants until recent years. John married 1667, Sarah, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Hodson. Their descendants have been numer- ous and several of them have attained eminence as statesmen and in business life. 13 RICHARD MORRELL Richard is said to have lived in New Hampshire as early as 1640. No authentic record of this Morrell has been found. EDUOUARD MARREL On Oct. 22 1645, tne Directors General in New Neth- erlands, granted patent for eleven morgens of land west of Corleafs Hook, to Eduouard Marrel and a further grant was made to him on Nov. 3 of the same year, of a house lot in Manhattans. Apparently he was Dutch and may have returned to Holland without occupying his land. This name does not appear again on any record that has been found. 14 THOMAS MORRALL OF GRAVESEND Thomas was in Gravesend sometime prior to Feb. loth 1648 and the original records of the town, still in existence, show that upon that date he made application to have one of the forty plantation lots in which the town had been divided, awarded to him; upon his petition, Lot No. 15 was granted to Thomas Morrall, he entering into an agreement to pay the present holder the sum of thirty eight guilders within the ensuing fifteen months to reimburse him for work done in clearing the land and building fence. Many records of Thomas are available. He sold Lot No. 15 and bought another for fifteen hundred pounds of tobacco which was duly paid some months before the time stipulated. Later he leased other land, finally moving to Staten Island where he died, leaving a will dated May 2d 1670, in which he bequeaths all his belong- ings, mostly cows and horses, to three of his personal friends. No mention is made of wife or children. So far as appears on any record Thomas Morrall of Gravesend did not leave any descendants. Nearly all Long Island historians have assumed that Thomas Morrall of Gravesend and Thomas Morrell of Newtown were the same person or father and son. This assumption is natural, owing to the similarity of 15 names and the fact that Gravesend and Newtown are but a few miles apart. A very thorough and careful search, in sympathy with an earnest desire to discover a kinship and place an additional generation on our family tree, fails entirely to disclose any relationship between these two. They were certainly different persons and probably were not kinsmen. 16 JOHN MORRELL OF GRAVESEND Hon. Tunis G. Bergen mentions among the early inhabitants of Gravesend John Morrell, who was super- intendent of the plantation of Lady Debora Moody in 1646 and who somewhat later married Elizabeth Corn- wall, widow. Evidently Mr. Bergen is in error regarding this name. The original record, still in existence, is not dis- tinct but the name is certainly not Morrell. Experts in the employ of the City of New York have in all cases transcribed or indexed the name " Morrice " or " Morris." ENSIGN MOREL Ensign Morel is mentioned in the journal of Count de Frontenac on his voyage to Quebec in Oct. 1673. This name is not uncommon in Canada at the present time. 17 NICHOLAS MORRELL Nicholas and Margaret Morrell were married in England and came to Boston on the ship Prudence & Mary, arriving there May 28 1679. Nicholas was a master mariner and sailed from Boston June 2 1679 in command of the Barque Hopewell for Barbadoes, where was his home and where his son Nicholas was baptized in the Parish of St. Michaels on Aug. 10 1678. There were other families of Morrell and Murrell in Barbadoes at about that period. 18 PIERRE MOREL Pierre came from Switzerland in 1732 with his wife and seven children and seven servants, landing at Savannah, Ga., where he shortly afterward obtained grants and concessions to large tracts of land and became prominent among the southern planters. He was one of the largest slave owners of his time. During the War of the Revolution the Morels were intense patriots. John, son of Pierre, was member of the Provincial Congress from the Sea Island district of Georgia in 1775 and member of the Committee of Safety at Savannah in 1776 and in the same year was one of the party who boarded and fired the British ship Inverness in Savannah harbor. The descendants of Pierre Morel are numerous. Their genealogy is published under the title "Bellinger & De Veaux & Allied Families." 19 HUGH MORRIELL Hugh came from Ireland some ten or fifteen years prior to the War of the Revolution, settling in New York State, west of Albany. He had sons Robert and James ; Robert had son Robert who had son Hugh born in Chautauqua Co., N. Y. Hugh, last named had son Robert who settled in Erie Co., Pa., and changed the name to Morrill. This last Robert had several children among them a son William H. who moved to Indiana and from whose descendants the above facts were obtained. This lineage is vague and hardly well defined but it is indisputable. Many records found in Erie Co., Pa., fully confirm the family existence, and a number of the descendants are at present living in Erie County, Pa. and near South Bend, Indiana. Some still retain the original name of Morriell while others write Morrill. 20 THOMAS MORRELL OF NEWTOWN, LONG ISLAND 21 THOMAS MORRELL OF NEWTOWN Thomas Morrell was in Newtown, a little village on Long Island about eight miles from the Brooklyn ferry, on March ist 1666. When he came, or whence, is not surely known. The following, from the original records, now in custody of the City of New York, Book I Page 82 is the earliest authentic record. March 1 1666 At a towne meting " The next lott to John Moore's lott estward on the south side of the towne is given to Thomas Morall provided no (a word here is illegible) man or men can show a right for it if it doth apere within a yere and six wekes then is Thomas Morall to pay for it to any such as can make such a right appere upon record "Thomas Morrall is allso granted other upland to plant on where it may be convenient for him p'vided it doth not prejudes any of the neighbors " Above record is entirely without punctuation in the original. 3 23 Several similar records of land grants appear within the next few years. The name is usually spelled Morrell but it is sometimes Marrel or Murrel with variations of one or two " r's " or " 1's ". There are other records also of Thomas of various natures, he appears as principal or witness in one or more suits at law, and a number of deeds and wills are signed or witnessed by him. The little settlement which had been earlier known as Mespat-Kil and Middleburgh, was in 1666 inhabited by less than a hundred persons, mostly English, all farmers or yeomen, with such other occupations as carpenter, weaver or tailor, whenever not busy on their land. The surround- ing villages of Midwout, Amersfort, Breukelen, Boswyck and Rustdorf were mainly peopled by the Dutch and the Dutch language prevailed over the general vicinity. There was no church in Newtown or near until early in the eighteenth century and the few infants of whom we have baptismal records were taken to the Dutch churches in Brooklyn or New York. That many of the children born in Newtown did not receive the rite of baptism, is shown by the great number of adults baptized after churches were established. In the Doughty patent to the settlers at Mespat-Kil, dated May 28 1642, the name Morrell does not appear. In the year following this first patent, the little com- munity was attacked by the Indians, all the houses were burned, several settlers were killed and the entire settle- ment was scattered and destroyed. The original Doughty patent, in Latin, is still preserved among the archives of 24 New York, at Albany, unless it may have been destroyed by the fire in the Capitol Building a few years ago. About 1652 confidence was again restored and settlers began to return, among them several families from New England. In 1656 the entire section was purchased from the Indians and the deed is of record containing the names of all contributors. There is none among them by the name of Morrell. In Thompson's History of Long Island is a list of freeholders in Middleburgh of date 1655 or 56. This list contains the names of Thomas and John Morrell. The authenticity of this list is questioned and it is not given in several other histories. It is certain that several of the names were of families that did not settle in Middleburgh until ten or fifteen years later. Apparently an error has been made in the date. After the English occupation of 1664 new charters were issued to all the settlements by Governor Nichol and in the Charter to Newtown of Dec. 4, 1666, Thomas Morrell is named among the freeholders, while in the later English Charter issued by Governor Dongan Nov. 25 1686 the name of Thomas Morrell appears three times, twice as inhabitant and freeholder and again as one of those entitled to share in the residuary lands. In this last, or Dongan charter, the name of Thomas Morrell, Junior also appears as freeholder which indicates that the son had arrived at years of maturity and enables us to approximate the marriage of Thomas and Hannah at a period of, say, 1661 to 1664. 25 Several tax lists are included in the records of New- town which show that Tho. Morall was assessed Dec. 4 1666 0-1-9 Jan. 27 1667 0-1-3 Feb. 6 1667 0-2-6 Feb. 26 1668 0-2-6 In a list "off" the estates of Newtown taken for purposes of taxation in September 1675 is Tho Morrell i Poll (or male over 21) 10 Morgens of land (about 20 acres) i Horse 4 Oxen i Cow 3 years old I Cow 2 years old 3 Sheep I Swine A similar list of 1678 shows Thomas Morrell of New- town 1 Poll 16 Morgens of land (32 Acres) 3 Cows 2 Cows 2 years old 2 Cows i year old 2 Horses i Horse i year old i Swine 26 The tax list of 1683 shows Thomas Morrell of New- town 2 Polls 1 Horse 4 Oxen 2 Cows & 3 Young Cattle i Swine 25 Morgens land (50 acres) Two polls in this list indicate that Thomas, Jr. had become of age. Ninety families in Newtown were in- cluded in this last enumeration and a comparison shows that the holdings of Thomas Morrell were considerably above the average freeholder of the community. 27 MORRELL IN THE WAR OF THE REVOLUTION The Revolutionary record of the Morrells of Newtown is especially creditable. Official publications by the several states show that the number of Morrells engaged in the war was as follows: From New York 32 persons New Jersey 8 Pennsylvania 7 Connecticut 2 And in Privateer service 3 Five of the above were Commissioned Officers. All of these were descendants of Thomas Morrell of Newtown. The official military record of nearly every one has been secured from the War Department in Washington or from the military Records of the several states. NOTE Owing to re-enlistments some of the names are duplicated on the records. It is estimated that the above fifty-three names may represent about thirty individuals. 28 LOYALISTS, OR TORIES There was also a small contingent of the Newtown Morrells who expressed sentiments antagonistic to the cause of American freedom. About eight names of British sympathizers have been found, but only three were classed as tories. These three had their property confiscated, and one was exiled and died at Saint John, New Brunswick in 1817. The Morrell farm at Dutch Kills near Newtown was a military camp for the Hessian and British soldiers during the whole seven years of British occupation. Several incidents and stories of the military rule are still preserved and many relics have been found. 29 CENSUS OF 1790 In the first enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States taken in 1790, recently published in full, Morrells are found as follows : On Long Island 92 persons In New York City 25 Westchester County 14 Orange County 13 Albany & vicinity 23 New Jersey 50 estimated Connecticut 8 Pennsylvania 23 The records of this census for several of the states including New Jersey were destroyed when Washington was devastated and the Capital burned in the war of 1812. The above estimate for New Jersey is below, rather than above the number of Morrells there. All the above, with possibly a few exceptions, were descendants of Thomas Morrell of Newtown. In addi- tion there were several hundred Morrells and Merrills enumerated in New England and the Southern states, 30 among whom were doubtless many of the Long Island tribe. Allowing for those who entered the family by mar- riage and for the daughters married out of the name it is estimated that the descendants of Thomas Morrell of Newtown living in 1790 numbered about two hun- dred and seventy-five individuals of all ages. 31 MORRELLS IN CIVIL LIFE Examination of the minutes of the Town Meetings of Newtown show that from 1705 to 1848 about eight- een Morrells filled various town offices, some of them continuing through several terms. Nineteen Morrells are found among the members of the Presbyterian Church, the first church society established in Newtown. Many Morrells are among the lists of communicants of the churches in all the neighboring villages. 32 WANDERLUST Dreams of green fields far away early came to the Newtown settlers. Morrells of the third generation began the exodus as early as 1707 and from that time to the present the procession has never ceased. In the early eighteenth century the attractions of New Jersey were very alluring, and many settlers came from neighboring communities. Inducements of fertile land, largely free from forests, at low prices and extremely liberal terms of payment, together with the advantages of many rivers and navigable streams, caused sev- eral Morrells to locate on the Delaware or " beyond the Kill." Three Morrells early setttled in Albany. One or more families moved to Westchester County and four brothers in one Newtown family sailed up the Delaware to Philadelphia, where they prospered, and where many of their descendants still live. 33 THOMAS MORRELL FOUNDER OF THE FAMILY IN AMERICA Died at Newtown about 1704 Married in England HANNAH (surname not known) Their children were 2 THOMAS Born in England about 1662 3 SAMUEL " " " " 1664 4 JOSEPH " " Newtown 1667 5 JONATHAN " " about 1670 6 WILLIAM 7 SARAH 8 ABAGAIL Baptized (adult) October 31 1711 NOTE The second generation of Thomas and Hannah Morrell is quite fully established and verified in the Newtown Records. Owing to the absence of churches and church records, the third generation cannot be well defined. Some twenty-rive names are known who must have been grandchildren of Thomas, the founder but only about ten can be, assuredly, placed. 35 But little is positively known of the life of Thomas Morrell prior to his advent at Newtown, but it is almost certain that he was born in England. Following the English occupation of New Amsterdam in 1664 and its change of name to New York, there was a great influx of English immigration and a reasonable assumption is that Thomas and Hannah with their two sons were among those who arrived in the autumn of 1665. He is described in a deed as being a carpenter, but all his efforts seem to have been devoted to clearing his land and farming. Besides the numerous grants he was pur- chaser of several tracts and a number of deeds of sale were executed by him. The date of his death is estab- lished by deeds of his oldest son to the others in division of his estate. One of these deeds alludes to a will, naming sons Thomas and Samuel as executors; a dili- gent search has been made for this will but it has nowhere been found. 36 THOMAS MORRELL SECOND GENERATION son of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Probably born in England about 1662 Married in Newtown about 1686 MARTHA (surname not known) The date of marriage of Thomas is established by a deed executed by his parents, Thomas and Hannah Morrell, bearing- date June 18 1686 "A guift of ten acers of land " with provision for reversion in case no children should be born. It is well established that he had several children and many records of them are col- lected. Only two sons however can be positively identi- fied as of this family owing to the entire absence of church records at that period. These two sons are, Thomas who moved to New Jersey and died at Hopewell in 1732, leaving a will be- queathing his property to his widow Mary and seven small children; and John,* presumably the youngest, who was born March 21 1703, married Phebe Alburtus and left a very long and full line of descendants, cover- ing ten generations most of whom are known and in- dexed. * The compiler of this work is among the descendants of John Morrell and Phebe Alburtus in the eighth generation. 37 SAMUEL MORRELL SECOND GENERATION son of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Born, probably in England about 1664 Married SUSANNAH (surname not known) Samuel and Susannah had several children. Their oldest son, Samuel, married June 12 1728, Phebe Baley, moved to New Jersey and died there leaving a widow and six children; his will is on file at Trenton. Wil- liam, another son is thought to have married Mary Fen- nemin of Burlington, N. J. October 28 1730; his poster- ity is large. Sarah a daughter married John Smith and remained in Newtown. Hannah married John Bailey of Newton. Probably there were other children. 38 JOSEPH MORRELL SECOND GENERATION son of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Born in Newtown 1667 Died November 18 1742 Married HANNAH (surname not known) The oldest son of Joseph and Hannah, Joseph, mar- ried Elizabeth ( ?) and lived in Newtown. He is of frequent record but little is known of his children and descendants. John, another son is supposed to have married Judith Johnson and the large group of Morrells in Philadelphia are thought to have been of this alliance. There were other children. 39 JONATHAN MORRELL SECOND GENERATION son of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Born in Newtown about 1670 Died about 1726 Married JUDITH (surname not known) Their children were 9 JONATHAN Baptized August 15 1697 10 THOMAS Born * "> . Ifi 99 11 ROBERT 12 HESTER 13 JUDITH 14 SUSANNAH 15 JOHN 1 6 DANIEL 17 HANNAH Baptized, adult, March ** '7*7 The six children from Robert to Daniel were baptized at Newtown August i 1710 by Rev. Mr. Poyer, rector of Grace Church, Jamaica. 40 WILLIAM MORRELL SECOND GENERATION son of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Married ELIZABETH (surname not known) William Morrell is frequently of record and many deeds and other recorded papers were executed by him, as late as 1727, after which his name ceases to appear. Whether he died or moved elsewhere is conjecture. Between 1716 and 1723 all deeds were joined in by Elizabeth his wife. Before and after these dates he signed alone. No descendants of William and Elizabeth are posi- tively known. 41 SARAH MORRELL SECOND GENERATION daughter of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown Nothing reliable of Sarah is known beyond the fact that she was in Newtown, adult 1685. The name Sarah is frequent in Morrell records and it is impossible to specify the proper place of each. 42 ABAGAIL MORRELL SECOND GENERATION daughter of Thomas and Hannah Morrell of Newtown The only record is the baptism of Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Hannah Morrell, October 3 1711, adult. It is thought she married but we have nothing positive. 43 JONATHAN MORRELL THIRD GENERATION son of Jonathan and Judith Morrell of Newtown Baptized August 15 1697 Married September 27, 1715 PARNEL MOSS of Newtown Their children were Hannah, Keziah, Abagail and Mary. They did not have sons. Jonathan was baptized in Collegiate Dutch church, New York, Peter and Marytje Praa standing in sponsor- ship; as no further records of him appear it is assumed he died in early life. He was a member of Grace Church, Jamaica, 1716, and his wife Parnell was baptized there, adult, March 13 1730. Their daughters Hannah, Keziah and Abagail were baptized July n, 1729. Mary received the rite some months earlier. Keziah married July 20 1748 Jacob Aiike 44 10 THOMAS MORRELL THIRD GENERATION son of Jonathan and Judith Morrell of Newtown Born 1699 Died May 15 1771 Married JUDITH (surname not known) They had children, Jonathan, Born 1726; Jacob 1730; Samuel 1733; Robert 1737 and Thomas 1739. Judith died February 25 1762 and Thomas married again November 30 1762, Keziah Johnson, widow. Thomas was buried in the old Newtown Cemetery and the inscription on his tombstone is still (1912) legible. This is a large and important Morrell lineage and is known almost complete. Several distinguished names are included, among them Thomas Morrell known as the " fighting parson " who was Major in the Revolution- ary War, was wounded in the Battle of Long Island, returned to his command after some six months at home and was in several battles. After the war he became a preacher of considerable renown and presided at the service in New York, when several Bishops and other eminent clergymen were present at the inaugural of President Washington. Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler was also a member of this lineage. 45 11 son of Jonathan and Judith Morrell of Newtown Married MARY (perhaps Morse) Robert and Mary lived several years in Newtown whence they moved to New York where he was engaged in business as a tallow chandler, apparently with con- siderable success. He was vestryman of Trinity Church 1759 to 1761 and his name appears on several subscrip- tions for church work. Mary lived many years after Thomas' death and is frequently of record. They had several children. 46 15 JOHN MORRELL THIRD GENERATION son of Jonathan and Judith Morrell of Newtown John is supposed to have been the founder of the large branch of Morrells that settled in Flushing. He was twice married, but it is not possible to entirely separate all the children of the several John Morrells then in Newtown. His oldest son John married Aba- gail Alburtus. A long lineage follows, not fully known however. 47 16 DANIEL MORRELL THIRD GENERATION son of Jonathan and Judith Morrell of Newtown Born probably 1710 Married March 3 1734 ALIDA DOXIE daughter of Samuel Doxie and Lysbeth Bas of Long Island Born 1710 Their children were 1 8 JONATHAN 19 JUDICK Baptized May 27 1739 20 ELIZABET October n 1744 21 SAMUEL December n 1748 22 JOHANNES " April 26 175* All except Jonathan baptized at the first Dutch Re- formed Church at Albany. 48 It is uncertain whether Daniel and Alida were mar- ried at Newtown or Albany. The record is found in the first Dutch Reformed Church of Albany but the fact that no baptismal record is found of their first born Jonathan would lead, perhaps, to the assumption that the marriage may have been in Newtown and Jonathan born before they moved to Albany. The Doxies were an old Long Island Family and are supposed to have all descended from Thomas Doxsey, who purchased a plantation lot at Gravesend Oct. 19 1650. The name, with a large variation in spelling, is not uncommon in Long Island records. Samuel Doxie was twice married and Alida, who married Daniel Mor- rell, was the oldest child of the second marriage. 49 18 JONATHAN MORRELL FOURTH GENERATION son of Daniel Morrell and Alida Doxie of Albany Born, supposed about 1735 Married June 15 1763 at Albany DEBORA VAN DEUSEN Daughter of Hartman Van Deusen and Margretta Dyckman of Albany Born about 1744 Their children were 23 DANIEL Born March 29 1764 24 MARGARETHA " Apr u 8 1766 25 HARTMAN " December 29 1769 26 JACOB " May 8 1771 27 ALIDA " jui y 2S i 773 28 ELIZABETH " November 15 1775 29 DANIEL " j u i y 20 i 77 8 All the children baptized at Schaghticoke 50 Jonathan Morrell was a soldier in the War of the Rev- olution, i6th Albany regiment.

It is reputed that he possessed high skill as a gardener, hence his surname. Jacob was also at one time known as Jacob Janse Plodder, and under this name received a grant for a large tract of land covering a part of the present city of Hudson, N. Y., the title to which was the cause of prolonged litigation in the early nineteenth century. The first wife of Jacob died in 1669 after which he married Barrentje Stratsmans, widow of Hans Coen- ratse. 55 22 JOHN MORRELL FOURTH GENERATION son of Daniel Morrell and Alida Doxie of Albany Baptized April 26 1752 Married October 29 1774 HESTER VAN TASSEL daughters of Teunis Van Tassel and Fytje Fosner (widow) of Albany Their children were 47 JACOB Born March 3 1778 48 ELIZABETH February 22 1780 49 DANIEL September 15 1782 50 WVNTJE January 4 1785 51 JUDIKJE " November 12 1787 52 TEUNIS " April 7 1791 53 RACHEL " August 30 1792 54 JOHN January 22 1796 The five oldest children were baptized at Schaghticoke, Teunis at Schoharie and the other two at New Rhine- beck, now Lawyersville.

John D. Morrell was doubtless named in honor of his grandfather Groesbeck. The middle letter bore no sig- nificance. The name appears many times in Albany Directories. In 1852 he was in the Dry Goods business at 80 State Street and his home was at 13 Park Street. 69 BURNS Peter Burns married Sarah Ann McDougall, of Montreal, Canada. Children : MARY married John D.

SARAH married Samuel Tower (Moved to Grand Rapids Michigan, where the family still exists). Children of Ann and Ephraim Fairfield were George, Eliza- beth and John. The antecedents of the Burns-McDougall family are lacking. Living descendants affirm that the Burns family formerly lived somewhere on the banks of the Susquehanna River in New York, that Sarah Ann McDougall was a descendant of John McDougall of Argyleshire, Scotland and that she had three brothers, Donald, Daniel and Dougal. 70 MARY BURNS MORRELL JOHN D MORRELL 63 DANIEL MORRELL SIXTH GENERATION son of Daniel Morrell and Clarissa Groesbeck of Albany Born May 29 1804 Married MATILDA CLUTE Their only child was 114 MATILDA Born September i 1831 Married second SARAH MARIA HOAG daughter of John and Sarah Maria Hoag of Flat Creek N Y Their children were 115 CLARISSA Born July 1833 116 DANIEL " J ne 6 l8 'S 117 SARAH MARIA " February ^ 1837 Died May 12 1914 not married 118 ALLETTA Born October 21 1839 IIQ DAVID September 30 184* Drowned 1 20 HARRIET " March 31 1844 121 MARY October 21 1846 Died young 71 64 ALLETTA MORRELL SIXTH GENERATION daughter of Daniel Morrell and Clarissa Groesbeck of Albany Born 1807 Died June 9 1866 Married July 24 1824 at Dutch Reformed Church at Lawyersville N Y WILLIAM RICKARD of Rondout N Y Born 1803 Died 1860 Their children were 122 SAMUEL RICKARD 123 DANIEL RICKARD 124 CATHERINE RICKARD 125 WILLIAM RICKARD 126 CLARISSA RICKARD 127 DAVID RICKARD Born 1836 Died 1863 128 LUCAS WlNNE RlCKARD Bom November 9 1838 129 GEORGE RICKARD " October 1840 130 ALLETTA RICKARD 131 JOHN RICKARD Died in infancy 72 RICKARD 122 SAMUEL Married Cornelia Van Slyck and had children Charles and Birdsley. 123 DANIEL Married Amanda Everson and had Hattie and several other children. 124 CATHERINE Married first, Manassah Burrill; sec- ond, Mr. Layman; third, Mr. Meade.

A brief review of the grounds for presenting this opinion follows herewith preliminary to the com- ments we propose to make upon Mr. Morrell's life. Both the name- root and the coat-of-arms attributed to the family imply that before its appearance in what is now the United States its members belonged to the land holding class, that some were of French Huguenot extraction and in common with many other members of their faith were driven from France during the religious wars of that Country in the Sixteenth Century. Researches suggest that upon leaving France an an- cestor of the family in this Country settled in England (probably in the County of Kent) although he may have resided for a time in Holland prior to his arrival in England. As will be observed upon consulting the records which follow, the progenitor of the family in this country settled 7 87 at Newtown, Long Island, in 1666; and true to the gen- eral traditions of the race at once acquired as his source of livelihoood several acres of land. A majority of his descendants have followed his calling of a tiller of the soil, intermarrying extensively with the New York State Dutch and Scotch families, particularly in the vicinity of Albany, along the Hudson, and westward through the Mohawk Valley, although the family is widely dispersed elsewhere. Others have entered mercantile pursuits and the military and other professions, the predominant traits of all perhaps being a modest self-respect and slow ten- acity of purpose in the selected calling, characteristics which while not seeking political or other activities of a conspicuous nature, are of far more value to the intrinsic strength and prosperity of any country. Daniel Morrell was born in Canajoharie, New York, July 3rd, 1836, the son of John D. and Mary (Burns) Morrell. The father at that time owned and operated a number of boats on the Erie Canal, the great artery for transporting heavy freight between the East and the West prior to the day of railroads. While the son was still very young the family moved to Albany, New York, and later to New York City. Mr. Morrell received a common school education of the period and owing to natural strength of mind and will was prepared for and intended entering college at an early age, when his father's capital consisting almost entirely of canal boats was con- sumed in a great conflagration which destroyed nearly all the vessels of this description laid up for the winter in the Albany basin. Insurance not being recognized or 88 employed as it is to-day, the father's loss through failure to provide that safeguard reduced his means to an extent necessitating the son's entering business instead of college. Accordingly in 1853 Daniel Morrell after one or two essays elsewhere entered the employ of the old Wall Street Brokerage and Banking House of David Groes- beck & Company, whose offices for many years were at 30 Broad Street, New York City. Mr. Morrell later was made a partner in the firm ; and about 1860 also became a member of the New York Stock Exchange retaining his membership nearly thirty years. In 1876 Christopher M. Spencer, one of New England's most talented inventors, the designer of the Spencer repeating rifle, and other improved mechanical devices, interested Mr. Morrell to such an extent in an automatic machine the former had invented that the latter severed his active connection with the firm of David Groesbeck & Company that he might in company with Mr. Spencer and other local interests organize the Hartford Machine Screw Company, at Hartford, Connecticut. That Company through the basic ideas of the original machine and subsequent improvements was instrumental in revolutionizing the processes throughout the world by which machine screws of every description, nuts, rivets and nearly all lathe turned parts are produced. The Company at its inception underwent the usual difficulties in overcoming prejudice and inertia in introducing its improved methods; and its final success may be prin- 89 cipally attributed to the patience and business acumen of Mr. Morrell and the financial assistance he extended the Company when this aid could not be obtained else- where. Mr. Morrell retired from active business in 1905 although he continues to maintain a strong interest in financial matters generally. On June 25th, 1862, he married Cornelia Josephine Silver, of New York City, their Golden Wedding having been celebrated at the residence in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1912. In closing this brief review of Daniel Morrell's career his friends will unite in naming him as an exemplar of the best American citizenship. His nature is kindly and charitable to the utmost degree and the many whom he has befriended will, we believe, upon reading this be glad to join their tribute of love and respect. 90 rttr ncrf/iy vnf&er- /ts/.i /is-// tratt/itr/y t'ti/ta /ft/ 1 ///.'// /f nii.i,t'et'/t />tf/ fft/ />/ ffi, tfti/r frc/i/ ir //t/t Srftutn //// 'S~)t (>//<>/ /./ /ir/f/u ') U 'ltlU'^ -/!, /,(/. tiyt h t tft;t/H/r ,//.i; (//'.< /jt/ X* f - i ' ~ SILVER Abraham Perkins Silver and Lydia Bailey Burgess were parents of four children. Two sons died in infancy ; Cornelia Josephine married Daniel Morrell; Susan De Witt married Walter Cheeseman Fairbairn of New York City on September 19 1866; he died April 24 1871. They had two children Lydia Silver and Walter both of whom died young. Susan married (second) June 21 1905 George Lewis Chase of Hartford Conn. He died January 8 1908. The grandfather of Abraham P. Silver was James Silver a Surgeon in the army during the War of the Revolution and it is traditional in the family that he served at Bunker Hill and was courtmartialed for seiz- ing the gtm of a wounded man and fighting in the ranks instead of attending to his proper duties. After the war James resided in Nottingham N. H. and a curious certificate of membership in the Masonic Lodge of that town, dated in the Masonic year 5800 is owned by the family. He resumed the practice of medicine at Nottingham and some years later removed to Canada. A son of James Silver was also a physician, receiving his education at Dartmouth. 91 Thomas Poor, Esq.
