GENERAL INTRODUCTION, 
 
 Our ancestors labored and suffered much for the attainment 
 of the rich blessings which we enjoy. They rest from their 
 labors ; they have found, — 
 
 "Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas." 
 
 It is not right in their descendants to allow their names and 
 deeds to perish from the earth. To permit it would be alike 
 unjust to the living and the dead ; to those who have gone be- 
 fore us, and those who shall come after us. To j^revent such 
 a result is this volume published. 
 
 It is a family record. Its design is to give a history of 
 the family of Morison or Morrison ; to preserve its traditions ; 
 gather up the fading memorials of its past, and transmit them 
 to those who shall succeed us. 
 
 It was not my intention, when I began my investigations, to 
 prepare anything for the press. They were commenced for my 
 own satisfaction, and to furnish some information to Hon. 
 Thomas F. Morrison, of Nova Scotia, in answer to his letter 
 of inquiry, bearing date of January, 1878. Becoming interested 
 in the work, and meeting with a success far beyond my expecta- 
 tions in obtaining information, I decided to continue my re- 
 searches, and print the result, in order to preserve the informa- 
 tion I had gathered with so much trouble and expense. With 
 this object in view, I resolved to prepare a History of Charter 
 James Morison, of Londonderry, N. H., and his descendants, my 
 own branch of the family. In my investigations, I gathered so 
 much valuable matter relating to the other branches, that I 
 determined to give a history of all the descendants of John 
 
10 GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Morison who was born in 1628 (?), and died in Londonderry, 
 N. H., in 1736. The Hon. Charles R. Morrison, of Manchester, 
 Nl, .lEi;, beoaibe; interested in the work, and was induced to pre- 
 pare a history of^ his branch of the Londonderry family, and to 
 i)Vc*;orpoj-a.te' 5t;wiih',rni,ne. There were still two branches of the 
 Londonderry Morisons, which I traced out with much labor ; 
 and the result is before the reader. Had I known the difficulties 
 to be encountered and overcome, the expense to be incurred, the 
 years of toil to be spent, I should have shrunk back, apj)alled 
 at the mao-uitude of the undertaking^. Not then knowing the 
 motto of the Morison family, '■'• Pretio Pnidentia Praestat^'' 
 prudence was overcome by my love for the work. 
 
 The records are not complete. There are vanished lines, 
 which it would take years to trace out, and lost threads which 
 can never be recovered. 
 
 Hearing of a pamphlet published by Capt. F, W. L. Thomas, 
 of the Royal Navy, and vice-president of the Society of Anti- 
 (juaries, a resident of Edinburgh, Scotland, entitled "Traditions of 
 the Morrisons (Clan Mac Ghillemhuire), Hereditary Judges of 
 Lewis," I entered into correspondence with the author, and after 
 months of waiting obtained from him a copy of the Avork. After 
 other months of correspondence, in trying to obtain additional 
 light in relation to the Morrison family now in Scotland, it was 
 my good fortune to open a correspondence with Norman Mori- 
 son, Esq., postmaster of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, a 
 direct descendant of Judge Morrison, the last Brieve of Lewis, 
 who was slain about A. D. 1600. I was thus enabled to take up 
 the work where Captain Thomas laid it down, and bring the 
 history of the descendants of Judge Morrison down to 1880, 
 and include it in my work. The other branches of Morrisons 
 included in it are those of wliom information was obtained 
 during the progress of the work, and which I thought best not 
 to omit. 
 
 In the orthography of projjer names, I have generally adopted 
 the spelling sent me in the records. Where there are errors in 
 dates (and there are many in all genealogical works), some of 
 
GENERAL INTEODUCTION. 11 
 
 the blame must rest on those sending them ; for records are 
 often written illegibly, and sometimes vary when given by dif- 
 ferent members of the same family, and occasionally when given 
 at different times by the same person. The dates of births, 
 marriages, and deaths are as full as an extensive research could 
 make them. 
 
 Genealogical works are never perfect. The sources from which 
 they are derived — county, tOAvn, and family records — are all 
 more or less defective. Many families have kept no records, 
 and many records are lost by accident, so that it is utterly im- 
 possible always to ascertain the correct dates. I have given as 
 full a record as could be made from the information at my com- 
 mand. As mere names and dates are not interesting reading, 
 I have endeavored to bring before my readers the living indi- 
 viduals, and have introduced a large amount of biographical 
 and historical matter, giving the prominent facts of their lives, 
 the positions tliey have occupied in civil life, in the military 
 service, or in the liberal jDrofessions. 
 
 The uninitiated have no conception of the labor and time 
 involved in a work of this nature. This work is the result of 
 nearly three years of labor. In its })reparation I have written 
 more than twenty-five hundred letters, and travelled more than 
 two thousand miles. No probable channel of information has 
 remained unexplored. I have had correspondence with all parts 
 of America, and with England, Scotland, and Ireland. With 
 more time and expense, the work might have been improved ; 
 or had I started with the distinct purpose of i)reparing it, it 
 would have been different. I give it as it is to the family of 
 Morison or Morrison, and to the allied families found within 
 its pages. 
 
 Old artists, it is said, never completed their work. Many 
 statues were in their brain when they died, which were never 
 wrought into granite or marble. So in regard to this history: 
 it may not be complete ; but the shaft is reared, and other hands 
 may polish and finish it. The "finger-posts" are establislied, to 
 show the wav our fathers trod. 
 
12 GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This is a family liistory ; and it has been my endeavor to 
 make it acceptable to those for whom alone it was prepared. 
 In tracing the Morisons, I have in most cases traced both the 
 male and female lines, and have (different from most genealo- 
 gists) arranged them together. 
 
 AKEAXGEMEXT. 
 
 In the arrangement, the Slafter system has been followed in 
 the main. The system is simjile and easy to be understood. 
 Consecutive numbers are used on the left margins of the pages 
 all through the book, no two persons appearing witli the same 
 number, and many l:)eing entered twice, — first as a child, and 
 enclosed in brackets [] at the right is the number the person 
 bears as head of a family. Turning to the number the child 
 bears as the head of a family, at the right of the name, enclosed 
 in brackets [], is the number the person bore as a child. This 
 reference will be j^lain as soon as the eye falls upon the page. 
 
 Where families are put in close type, and two or three gener- 
 ations are given at once, the parent's name is numbered in the 
 usual way, his children are designated by the numeraLs 1, 2, 3, 
 etc. (See No. 1276.) 
 
 If it be desired to trace the line of descent, find the name in 
 the. Index, and against it will be found a jiersonal number, de- 
 noting the person either as a child or as the head of a family. 
 If the number be that of a child, above it will be the parent's 
 name, with a figure above it at the right, which denotes the 
 generation to which he belongs ; the first succeeding name in 
 parentheses being the j^^ii'ent, the next the grandjiarent, and so 
 on to the first ancestor, or the first generation. 
 
 The pedigree of every head of a family will be seen at a 
 glance. 
 
 Every woman's married name is enclosed in parentheses (). 
 (See No. 839 : Hannah* (Barker) [718], Elizabeth'^ (Smith), John 
 Morison'^, John^.) Her married name was Barker^ her maiden 
 name was Hannah Smith, of the fourth generation, daughter of 
 Elizabeth (Morison) Smith, third generation, daughter of John 
 
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 13 
 
 Morison, second generation, son of John Morison, first genera- 
 tion. The number 718 gives her as a child, and number 839 as 
 the head of a family. 
 
 A mark of interrogation (?) after a name or date implies un- 
 certainty or doubt. The letters unm. (unmarried, or single) are 
 sometimes employed ; but where marriage is not mentioned, the 
 person was usually not married, or, if married, the fact was un- 
 known to me. Other abbreviations are used; such as, 5., for 
 ho7n ,' m., for married ; d., for died / res., for reside, resided, or 
 residence, according to the manner in which it is used. 
 
 Should the records of any family be found imperfect, the 
 responsibility will not rest on me, as I have made all proper 
 efforts to have them complete. Where little is given, much 
 must not be required. 
 
 The arrangement of Charter Samuel Morison's branch is ex- 
 plained on page 295 ; and a sej^arate Index is prepared for that 
 branch, and for Charter David Morison, by the author. Judge 
 Charles R. Morrison, of Manchester, N". H.

 I would express my deep obligation to all who have so kindly 
 seconded my efforts by correspondence, words of encouragement, 
 and personal assistance.

 posal. To George W. Weston, Esq., the genial register of 
 deeds of Rockingham County, I am indebted for gratuitous 
 services in examining records. To Rev. John Hopkins Mor- 
 ison, D, D., of Boston, and to Dr. James Morison, of Quincy, 
 Mass., I would make special acknowledgment for the deep in- 
 terest manifested and kindly aid given me in many ways, from 
 the very commencement of the undertaking to its consunmiation. 
 I am indebted to N. H. Morison, ll. d., provost of the Peabody 
 Listitute, Baltimore, Md., for the system of index and of run- 
 ning titles adopted in this book. For the valuable fruits of his

 researclies, which appear in the body of this work, and for 
 kindly looking over a part of my manuscript before publishing, 
 I am grateful. 
 
 To the Hon. Thomas F. Morrison, member of the Legisla- 
 tive Council, of Londonderry, N. S,, and to Samuel Steele Mor- 
 rison, Esq., of Economy, N. S., I am under especial obligations 
 for prompt and earnest efforts in collecting facts relating to the 
 Nova Scotia Morrisons. 
 
 To George W. Morrison, Esq., of Rockingham, Vt. ; to Stephen 
 A. Morrison, Esq., of Saugatuck, Mich. ; to Hon. Thomas H. 
 Morison, of Norwalk, Ct. ; and to Robert S. Morrison, of La 
 Porte, Ind., I am indebted for donations, and for other assist- 
 ance in my difficult and unremunerative task. 
 
 To William B. Merrill, Esq., and Joshua Merrill, Esq., of 
 Boston, Mass., I must express my grateful acknowledgments for 
 their interest in this work, and their large subscription for copies, 
 which has aided me materially in its publication. 
 
 I owe especial thanks to Norman Morison, Esq., postmaster, 
 Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, for valuable materials ; and 
 to Capt. F. W. L, Thomas, of the Royal Navy, Edinburgh, Scot- 
 land, for " The Traditions of the Morrisons," etc., and for other 
 interesting facts. To John Murdoch, Esq., of Inverness, Scot- 
 land, editor of "The Highlander," I am indebted for copies of 
 that paper during several months, and for the rare articles thus 
 placed within my reach. The Hon. Alexander H, Morrison, of 
 St. Joseph, Mich, (the nearest living relative of the last Heredi- 
 tary Judge), has, by his generosity, placed myself, and all who 
 bear the name of Morrison, under great obligations. 
 
 From George W. Moore, Esq., of Medina, Mich. ; Capt. Samuel 
 Morrison, of Alstead, N. H. ; Hon. Matthew H. Taylor, of N. 
 Salem, N. H. ; Marquis F. Morrison, Esq., of Ilartland, Vt. ; 
 and Solon Morrison, Esq., of Montreal, P. Q., and many others, 
 I have received imj)ortant aid and valuable infoi-mation.

 Morison), of Acadian Mines, Londonderry, N. S. ; Mrs. Nowell

 N. H. ; and Mrs. Frances TerM'illiger (great-great-granddaughter 
 of Charter John Morison, and also of his sister Martha (Mor- 
 ison) Steele), of Belvidere, 111., my thanks are due. By these, 
 some of the early traditions of the family have been preser^'ed, 
 and the years between ws, and the first generation of our race 
 in America, have been bridged over. Without the aid which 
 they have given, the history of the Morisons of Londonderrj-, 
 N. H., could not have been so satisfactorily written, and much 
 of the information it contains would have been irrecoverably 
 lost. 
 
 To Judge Charles E.. Morrison, of Manchester, N. H., for the 
 history of Charter Samuel Morison's branch of the family, my 
 thanks are due. To Rev. James Horace Morrison, d. d., of Car- 
 tersville, Cumberland Co., Va., and to his son. Rev. Wm. Foster 
 Morrison, of Washington, D. C, I am under obligations for 
 information of the Morrisons of Virginia. To Dr. Joseph B. 
 Morrison, of Maryville, Mo., and Samuel Morrison, Esq., of 
 Indianapolis, Ind., I am indebted for information of the Moi"i- 
 sons of Pennsylvania ; and to Eev. George Morrison, d. d., of 
 Aberdeen, Md., for the history of the Morrisons of Delaware. 
 
 The author would express his thanks to the printers, Messrs. 
 Huse, Goodwin & Co., of Lowell, Mass., for the accurate, faith- 
 ful, and tasteful manner in which the mechanical execution of 
 the work has been accomplished. The engraving of the Mor- 
 rison Homestead, Windham, N. H., is from a photograph by 
 C. A. Lawrence, of Lawrence, Mass. The albertype engrav- 
 ings, and the map of Londonderry, N. H., are from the Forbes 
 Lithographic Co., of Boston, Mass. Many of the steel plates 
 were made by my order, by that gentlemanly and natural artist, 
 J. A. J. Wilcox, of Boston. 
 
 The book has been open to all who were willing to contribute 
 portraits of persons, or views of homesteads, to embellish its 
 pages. My tlianks are due to A. S. Morrison & Bros., of Brain- 
 
16 GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 
 
 tree, Mass., for the portrait of their fatlier, Hon. Alva Morrison ; 
 to Mrs. Horace Morison, of Portsmouth, N. H., for the engrav- 
 ing of the Morison Homestead in Peterborough, N. H. ; to Geo. 
 S. Morison, of New York, K. Y., for the portrait of his father, 
 E,ev. John H. Morison, d. d. To those also who aided in insert- 
 ing the engraving of the Morrison Homestead in Windham, and 
 to all those who have furnished portraits of themselves or others, 
 I would render my grateful acknowledgments. 
 
 In conclusion, I can but express the hope that the perusal of 
 these pages may afford others as much pleasure as their prep- 
 aration and publication have afforded me. This work has been 
 a "labor of love," as I never can receive pay for all my toil. 
 It has afforded me a delightful occupation, for Avliat without it 
 Avould have been many weary hours ; and among the sunny 
 memories of my life will be the remembrance of many true 
 and noble men and women whose acquaintance it has given me.

HISTORY OF THE MORISONS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 Progenitok of the Clan, and History of Lewis. — Origix of the 
 Family of Morisox. — Orthography of the Name. — Deuivation 
 of the Name Morison. — Coats of Arms. — First Morisoxs in 
 America. 
 
 PROGENITOR OF THE CLAN, AND HISTORY OF LEWIS. 
 
 Under date of Feb. 9, 1879, Capt. F. W. L. Thomas, of the 
 Royal Navy, and resident of Edinburgh, writes : — 
 
 "The person from whom the Chin Morrison derives its name 
 is unknown. Although the name is Gaelic, I do not doubt that 
 he was a Gall-Gael ( Gall is a foreigner, stranger) ; that is, of 
 mixed descent. 
 
 "I have proved by an exhaustive inquiry (Vol. XI, Pro. Soc. 
 Antiq. Scotland) that all the principal and good farms in Lewis 
 have Norse names; hence the people who gave these names spoke 
 Norse or Icelandic. Lewis, as part of the Kingdom of Man, was 
 under the dominion of Norway till it was ceded to Scotland in 
 1266; and I suppose the Gaelic language to have been general in 
 the islands after that time." 
 
 Under date of April 6, 1879, he says: — 
 
 "The history of the Hebrides, Western Isles, or Sudreyar, 
 begins in 563, with the advent of St. Columba. 
 
 "In 795, the Danes and Norwegians began their devastations, 
 and, I believe, exterminated or drove out the Celtic inhabitants. 
 
 "From that time the islands appear to have been held by inde- 
 pendent vikings, or ])irates, till Harold Fairhair, King of Norway, 
 made several expeditions against them; from which time the 
 Orkneys were held by a Norwegian Earl, but the Western Isles 
 continued in great confusion. 
 
 "From about 980 to 1064, the Western Isles were held by the 
 Earl of Orkney; but after that time (1064), they formed part of 
 the Kingdom of Man; until, in 1266, they were ceded by treaty 
 to Scotland. Thus the Western Isles were rmder Scandinavian 
 rule for four hundred and seventy-one years. They w'cre after- 
 
18 IIISTOKY OV TIIK MOKISONS. 
 
 Avavds held by the Lords of the Isles (Maedonalds), under the 
 Scottish crown, till they forfeited in 1498. F'roin that time the 
 different chiefs of the Isles held tlieir lands dii-ect from the 
 Crown, and their history is a continual narrative of turbulence 
 and disorder. Such is their history, which would form material 
 for several volumes; and after all, there is not sufficient detail to 
 make it generally interestin«;. For hundreds of years we have 
 to bt' content Avith a meagre notice, from which the narrative 
 must be deduced by inference, for want of direct record or 
 information." * 
 
 Fi-om the pen of Mac Fhearghuis (C-harles Fergurson), I take 
 this account of the Moi-risons. It was ])rinted early in the year 
 1879, in "The Highlander," a paper published at Inverness, Scot-

 "MoRRisox. — I am afraid that 'Steorn-a-bhaigh' overrates my 
 abilities if he expects me to give the origin and history of this 
 ancient clan, — the clan Mac Ghille-Mliuire, whose origin, and 
 most part of whose history as a clan, may be said to end about 
 1600, a date at which many of our most noted clans are oidy too 
 proud to begin their history. The name, derived from Gille- 
 Mhuire, 'gille or servant of Mary,' most likely from their l)eing 
 at some early period connected with some church or church 
 lands dedicated to the Virgin Mary. From time immemorial the 
 Morrisons were possessed of the extreme northern point of the 
 island of Lewis; and their chief, Morrison of Habost, for many 
 generations held the honorable position of hereditary hreitheamh, 
 or judge, of tlie whole island of Lewis, down to the year 1613. 
 They have two tartans, — a beautiful red clan tartan, and a green 
 hunting tartan. Their crest is: Two arms, dexter and sinister 
 in fesse, couped, holding a two-handed sword, in pale. Motto, 
 ' Marte et mari f aventibus,' — War and the sea favoring. Like 
 most clans nowadays, the Morrisons have had many a fancy origin 
 ascril)ed to them by that class of Avriters who would like to give 
 every clan and family in the Highlands a foreign origin, and who 
 Avould like to deprive the Highlander of even the privilege of 
 being a native of his own country, following, as is too common 
 in many other things, the example of the Sassenach, who take a 
 pride in a Norman, or, in fact, any foreign descent. However, 
 such are the simple historical facts about the jNlorrisons," 
 
 The following article was printed March 2, 1878, in "The High- 
 lander," and is from a correspondent, "Mac-a-Bhreitheamh."

ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY OF MORISON. 19 
 
 "The Morrisoxs. — In answer to Lomach's inquiry as to the 
 origin and clansliip of the Morrisons, I may state, by the help 
 of some notes on the sul)ject wliich I found among a ])arcel of 
 papers behjnging to an old friend of mine, one of the name, that 
 they came across from Norwaj^ or Denmark, as the Lewis was at 
 that period occu])ied by that race. The Morrisons resided in tlie 
 district of Ness, near the Butt of Lewis. They chose or elected 
 a judge, or breitheamh, to settle any disputes among them, and 
 to enact laws as to tlieir respective rights of possession in the 
 different parts of the district. This chief, or hreitheamK s name 
 was Muire, or Mori, hence his progeny of Morison, who to this 
 day occupy Ness. His descendants are distinguished from the 
 other branches, by the old men of the island, as 'Clann a' Brei- 
 theamh.' This hreitheamh had a domestic servant, or scallag, of 
 another name; but who, on being taken into the service of 
 hreitheamh^ changed his name to that of his master, and his 
 descendants are distinguished from the otliers, as, ' Clann Mhic- 
 Ille Mhuire.' Doubtless there were others who came across the 
 North Sea at tlie same time, as the hreitheainh, but are known by 
 no such distinction such as the other branches; but those and 
 * Clann a' Bhreitheamli' are one of the same stem, whereas 'Clann 
 Mhic-Ille Mhuire' are only, as it were, engrafted into the clan. 
 1 cannot say whether they are a clan or not, but at that time 
 they were very clannish in their ways, as they used very often to 
 make raids into the Uig district and carry away booty in the 
 shape of cattle from the Macaulays of Uig. There are still in 
 Ness old men who in their dress and stature greatly resemble 
 the Norwegians, so I have heard. Their coat of arms is three 
 Saracens' heads and a serpent." 
 
 ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY OF MORTSON. 
 
 The family of Morison is very numerous in Scotland, and the 
 name has been a fixed surname there and in the adjacent Island 
 of Lewis for many centuries, prol)ably for a thousand years. It 
 is an old name in the counties of Lincoln, Hertfordshire, and 
 Lancashire, England, where ])ersons of the naine, several cen- 
 turies ago, were knighted and received coats of arms. The 
 family has spread over England, Ireland, and America. It ap- 
 pears to be evident that all of the name spring from the same 
 stock, and have a common origin. 
 
 The Island of Lewis, on the west coast of Scotland,* is undoultt- 
 edly the place where the family originated, though its founder 
 was probably of Norwegian origin. 
 
 In regard to the origin of the family, the following evidence is 
 presented. In Captain Thomas's " Traditions of the Morrisons," 
 an extract is made from a "Description of the Lewis l)y John 
 Morisone, Indweller there," written pi-esumably between 1G78 and 
 1688, wherein he says, "Tlie first and most ancient iidiabitants of 
 
 * See Map of Scotland. 
 
20 HISTORY OF THE MORISONS. 
 
 this countrie were tliree men of three several races, viz. Mores,. 
 the son of Kennanus, whom the Irish historians call Makurich, 
 whom they make to be son to one of tlie kings of Norway, some 
 of whose posteritie remains in this land to this day. All the 
 Morrisons in Scotland may challenge their descent from this 
 man." 
 
 Another tradition, preserved in the branch of Morisons which 
 settled in Nottingham, N. H., is to the same effect, and points in 
 the same direction. This branch of the family emigrated from 
 Scotland to Ireland, at the time of the siege of Derry, 1688, and 
 to Nottingham, N. H., in 1727. This statement is from Hon. 
 Robert Morrison, of Northwood, N. H., a former mayor of 
 Portsmouth, N. H., who received it in the early part of the pres- 
 ent century, from an aged relative whose birth dates back to 
 1750. While giving him words of admonition, this aged person 
 said, "jMaintain the honor and integrity of your family, for the 
 Morrisons come from the best blood of Scotland ; they are de- 
 scended from tlie royal family." Royalty amounts to nothing, 
 and only that man is truly royal who makes himself so by a noble 
 life and heroic deeds. 
 
 This evidence is adduced to show the ground there is for belief 
 in the consanguinity of the different branches. The reader will 
 not fail to notice the striking similarity of these traditions, com- 
 ing down for two centuries through different channels. We 
 know of no intercourse between the Morrisons of New Hamp- 
 shire and the Morisons of Scotland since the emigration of the 
 former in 1688. The traditions here and the traditions there were 
 separate and independent. The streams, one on this side of the 
 Atlantic and one on that side, ran unmingled for two hundred 
 years, and yet they retain in their essential j^arts the same cur- 
 rent of tradition. 
 
 These traditions all point in the same direction, and establish 
 beyond reasonable doubt the common origin of the family, and 
 Lewis as its early home. 
 
 ORTHOGRAPIiy OF THE NAME. 
 
 There is no authoritative manner of spelling Morison. It has 
 been found spelled in many different ways, such as Maryson, 
 Moreson, Moryson, Morreson, Moorison, Morrisson, Morson, 
 Morisown, Morisone, Morison, Morrison, Murison, and Mor- 
 rowson. 
 
 In early days, the family in Scotland, England, Ireland, and 
 America almost invariably s])elled their name with one r; thus, 
 Mo?-ison. This Avas the customary orthography till about the 
 year 1800, when the change to Morrison became general in Scot- 
 land, England, Ireland, and America, and has continued to the 
 present time. The family in Londonderry, N. II., followed the 
 general custom. 
 
 Norman Morison, Esq., of StornoAvay, Island of Lewis, Scot- 
 land (a descendant of the Hereditary Judges), writes, " Our 
 
DERIVATION OF THE NAME. 21 
 
 iamily, and indeed the Lewis families, wrote their name with 
 one r; thus, Morison." George Cruikshanks, Esq., of Scotland, 
 writes, Aug. 30, 1879, "The Morisons of Bogney, from whom I 
 suppose you are descended, always si^elled their name with one 
 r, and I may say they are almost the only family in Scotland who 
 do so." 
 
 Morison is the original mode of spelling. It comes nearer the 
 supposed derivation of the name, and appears to be the correct 
 orthography. 
 
 DERIVATION OF THE NAME. 
 
 Ca])t. F. W. L. Thomas writes, under date of Aug. 1, 1879, 
 "The original name is Gaelic, of which the translation is 'Son of 
 the Servant (Disciiile) of Mary,' now reduced to Maryson," etc. 
 
 The History of Raymond, N. H., says, "Morrison, son of Morris : 
 Morris is from the Welsh Mmor (Great), and rys (a warrior) ; so 
 the name means son of a great warrior." 
 
 Hon. Charles Morrison, m. p., of London, Eng., writes, "Have 
 always supposed that it [Morrison] means 'Son of Maurice,' 
 Maurice being the French form of the Latin Mauritius.'''' 
 
 The name was spelled J/oorison by one family in Scotland, 
 which one of its members thought "indicative of connection with 
 the three Moors' heads forming the Morrison crest." 
 
 Nathaniel Holmes Morison, ll. d.. Provost of the Peabody 
 Institute of Baltimore, Md., writes as follows, under date of Feb. 
 24, 1880: "I examined this j)oint, the origin of the name, some- 
 what, years ago, and came to the conclusion that the name is 
 simply .son of Moor, More, Mhor, Midr, 3Ioir, Mar, and that this 
 variously spelled name comes from the Gaelic word mhor, or mor, 
 signifying ' renowned, famous, a mighty one.' The mere fact that 
 the Moors and Morrisons have a common crest, three Moors' heads, 
 is strong presumjitive evidence in its favor, and shows that there 
 Avas a connection between the two families." 
 
 Under date of March 11, 1880, he writes, "If the name is 
 derived from the Gaelic mhor, or mor* as I think it is, it must 
 have been formed from that word after the persons bearing the 
 name of Moor, etc., had ceased to be Gaels, and become either 
 Norsemen or Saxons, and used one of these languages. The 
 Gaelic for son is mac, while son is both Norse and Saxon. It 
 is clear to my mind that, like Johnson, Allison, and many other 
 names, this name means the son of somebody, — whether of Mary, 
 Moore, or Maurice can hardly be asserted with confidence; but 
 the fact that the Moors, and not the Morrises, have the same 
 crest as the Morrisons, plainly points in that direction for the 
 ancestry of the name. The name as originally written in Saxon, 
 or in Saxon-English, would be Moores-son, or Mores-son; or if 
 the h of the Gaelic were retained, Mhores-son, the Saxon genitive, 
 
 * "In the old Norse, or Icelandic, language, mor means a swarm, a 
 shoal." — N. H. M.

 HISTORY OF THE MORISONS. 
 
 our possessive, being es. Tliis is by far the most regular, the 
 most simple, the most natural, and, taking the crest into account, 
 the most probal)le origin of tlie name. 'The Saxon language was 
 well establislied in England and the Lowlands of Scotland in the 
 ninth century. In Xorse, the name would be ]Moors-son, Mors- 
 son, Mhors-son, tlie genitive being formed in s without the e.'" 
 
 COATS OF ARMS.

 looking to the chief (front) ; dexter and sinister sides (both 
 sides) of the shield. Motto, I*retio prudentia praestat.

 Morison (Lyon Register). — The same, with two falcons' heads 
 couped; azure; in the flanks a serpent issuing, proper. Motto,

 3Iorison (Bogney, Scotland). — The same as of Dersay, with 
 the uppermost head affixed by a wreath to the otlier two. 
 
 Morison (Preston Grange, Scotland). — New Register. Argent 
 (silver or white) ; three Moors' lieads coujied, sable two, and one 
 banded of the first. Crests: thi-ee Saracen heads, as in the arms 
 of Morison of Dersay. Motto, Pretio prudentia praestat. 
 
 Morison. — Argent (silver); a fesse gules (red) between three 
 Moors' heads, sable, banded of the second. Crest: three jNFoors'

 other two to the dexter and sinister. Motto, Prtidentia pnaestat. 
 
 Morison., or Morrison (Cashiobury, Co. Hertfordsliire, as borne

 Or (goldt'ii), on a chief, gules (red), three oluiplets of the field. 
 Crest: a Pegasus, or (golden). 
 
 "Old John (Tuillini says, writing two liundred years before 
 Burke, who seems to have co])ied him almost word for Avord: 
 'Azure; three Saracen heads conjoined in one neck, proper, the 
 faces looking towanls the chief, dexter and sinister sides, by the 
 name of Morison.' ((luillim's Heraldry, p. 251.) He seen'is to 
 imply that what is called the Dorsey Morison's arms belonged to 
 Hhe name of JLorison.' ^'' * 
 
 Nisbet Heraldry, Vol. I, p. 262, says: "Those of the name of 
 Moir and Morison carry three Moores' heads, relative to their 
 name." 
 
 Papworth, Armorials, p. 935, says, "Moor or Moir of Scotstown 
 and Murison, have three Moores' heads argent. These heads are 
 placed one on top of the other two, looking u}iward." By inijdi- 
 cation it would show a connection between the families of Moor 
 and Morison. 
 
 The motto, "Pretio prudentia praestat," P'airbain translates: 
 "Prudence excels reward." See Fairbain's Crests. Elwin, in his 
 Handbook of Mottoes, translates it, ''Prudence is better than 
 profit." In Washbourne's Family Crests, the translation is, 
 "Prudence is better than riches." '■'■Prudentia comes from pro 
 and video, to see before, to look ahead. This quality of mind is 
 what we call long-headed, and is thoroughly Scotch. By coining 
 an expressive word I would translate it, Long-headedness is above 
 price." This translation by Dr. N. H. Morison will, I think, be 
 acceptable to most Morrisons. 
 
 It is claimed that these arms and crest were bestowed upon a 
 Morison in the war of the Crusades for some deed of daring, by 
 the English king, Kichard I (Canir de Lion). In this connection, 
 and relative to both crest and name, I will give an extract of a 
 letter from Dr. N. H. Morison, of Baltimore, under date of March 
 11, 1880. "The form of the crest — three Moors' heads — is 
 pretty strong presumptive evidence that it came from some 
 incident or incidents connected with the Crusades. Where else 
 could the Gaels of Scotland have come in contact with the 
 Moors'? Men did not travel in those days, and ordinary wars 
 were petty affairs, usually between neighboring chiefs. Fynes 
 Moryson was the greatest traveller of the sixteenth century, — 
 his 'Itinerary Through Ten Kingdoms' being the most reliable 
 and thorough account of the countries he visited during ten years 
 of laborious travel. I should hardly look for the name, then, 
 before the Crusades; both on account of its composition having 
 the Saxon son in it, and on account of this crest, probably 
 derived from some ancestor of the Moore family." 
 
 At different times, other arms have been granted, different 
 from those given, and which it is useless to mention.

 TRADITIONS OF THE MORKISONS. 
 
 A LETTEK coinmunieated to the " Athenseum," in March, 18GG, 
 contained some accomit of tlie Lewis Clans founded on oral tra- 
 dition. Since then I have collected much additional information 
 concerning them, either from printed books and MSS., or from 
 notices supplied to me by residents on the island. 
 
 In the letter to the "Athenagum" it was stated, on tlie author- 
 ity of those around me, that time out of mind Lewis had been 
 inhabited by three confederated clans, the Macleods, the Mor- 
 risons,! and the Macaulays. This statement is confirmed in a 
 "Description of the Lewis, by John Morisone,t indweller there," 
 which is inferred to have been written between 1678 and 1088. 
 The "•Indweller" states: "The first and most ancient inhabitants 
 of this countrie were three men of three several races, viz. Mores, 
 the sone of Kennanus, whom the Irish § historians call Makurich, 
 whom they make to be son to one of the kings of Norovay, some 
 of whose posteritie remains in the land to this day. All the Mor-

 pamphlet, omittinsi; such portions as were not essential to the narrative. 
 
 fli. Chambers has, under the heading of "Familj^ Characteristics," in 
 his " Popular Rhymes of Scotland," — "The Manly Morrisons. This is, 
 or was, especially applicable to a family which had been settled for a long 
 period at Woodend, in the parish of Kirkmichael, in Dumfriesshire, and 
 become remarkable for the handsomeness of its cadets " (Collected 
 Works, vol. vii, p. 97). It is still applicable to the Morrisons of the 
 Outer Hebrides. 
 
 I P^roni internal evidence it can be proved tliat the "Description" was 
 written after 1678, and probably before 1G88. He speaks of the destruc- 
 tion of Stornoway Castle, which took place in 1G54, as having "lately" 
 occurred. The writer was intimately acquainted with Lewis ; when young, 
 there were only three people in Lewis who knew the alphabet, but when 
 he wrote, the head of the family at least was usually able to read and 
 write. The author was probably the Rev. John Morrison, sometime min- 
 ister of Urray, son of John Morrison of Bragar, and father of the Rev. 
 John Morrison, minister of Petty. 
 
 § This means the Gaelic, or Highland Scotch, historians. — P2d. 
 
26 TltADITloXS OF THE MORRISONS. 
 
 risons in Scotland may chalk'nge their descent from this man. 
 The second was Iskair JMac Aiday, an Irishman,* whose posteritie 
 remain likewise to this day in the Lews. The third was Mac- 
 naicle, whose only danghter, Torquile, the first of that name (and 
 sone to Clandins the son of Oliphens, who likewise is said to 
 be the King of Norvay his sone), did violently esponse, and cut 
 off immediately the whole race of Maknaicle, and possessed him- 
 self of the whole Lews, and continneth in his i)Osteritie (Macleod 
 LeAvs), dnring thirteen or fourteen generations, and so extinct 
 before, or at least about 1600." f 
 
 Such was the tradition of the origin of the ruling families in 
 the seventeenth century, and it is first to be noted that the writer 
 uses "Irish" and "Irishman," where we should now write "Gaelic" 
 and "Gael." 
 
 With regard to the Macleods, the tradition is general that that 
 family got dominion in Lewis by marriage with the heiress of Mac 
 Nicol; but while willing to believe that Torqixil increased his 
 superiority by such marriage, I have shown in the Memoir on 
 LcAvis Place-names that Thormod Thorkelson was in Lewis, with 
 wife, men, and goods, in 1'231 ; and that the clan-name, Leod, is in 
 all probability derived fi-om Liotulfr^ who was a chief in Lewis 
 in the middle of the twelfth century. % 
 
 Of the Morrisons, it is strange that the "Indweller," himself a 
 Morrison, should have ignored what he would have called the 
 " Irish " § name of his clan, which is from Gille-Mhidre, i. e. 
 servant of Mary; from Gille^ i. e. a servant, etc., and More, 
 i. €. Mary. A Morrison in Gaelic is 3Iac Ghillemhiiire, some- 
 times shortened to Gillmore, Gilmour; or translated Morrison, 
 Maryson; or reduced to Milraore, Miles, Myles. The Morrisons 
 are a numerous clan in Lewis, where, in 1861, they numbered 
 1402, or one fifteenth of the Avhole population; in Harris there 
 were 530, equal to one seventh of the inhabitants. These num- 
 bers indicate a domination in the island of many centuries. 
 
 There is no real tradition of their original settlement in Lewds, 
 except that the founder was the inevitable son of the King of 
 Lochlann ; but one remarkable genealogy of Macleod makes Gille- 
 niuire to have been the father of Leod ; and before Raice (Rooke) 
 and Olbair (Ulf ?) the Hewer, we have another Gillemuire. It is 
 added that Eahja fhoU-alainn, i.e. Ealga of the Beautiful Hair, 
 daughter of Arailt Mac Semmair, King of Lochlainn, was the 
 mother of (Tcillemuire." || 
 
 I learn from Mr. Skene that the serfs or tenants on lands belong- 
 ing to a church or monastery dedicated to the Vii'gin would be 
 called the Gillies of Mary; hence the origin of the name; but in 
 process of time it is evident that such names as Gillemuire were 
 used as proper names, and without any reference to office or 
 employment. Although Petrie says that no Irish churches were

 notices of Maehuaire, son of Ainbitli, at A. D. 919, f and of Mael- 
 niuire, son of Eocliaidh, abbot-bislio]i of Armagh, at A. D. 1020.$ 
 Nor, although the name is Gaelic, is it to be inferred that the 
 possessor was of pure Gaelic descent, but rather that he was one 
 of tlie Gall-Gael, or mixed race of Northmen and Gael who peo- 
 pled the towns and shores of Ireland and the western islands and 
 coasts of Scotland. For Maelmaire, sister of Sitric, King of 
 Dublin, is on record circa 10G(i;§ and, before the conquest of Ire- 
 land, in 1130, Mac (4ille j\[aire, son of Allgoirt of Port Lairge 
 (Waterford), the best foreigner {Gall) that was in Eirinn, was 
 slain. II 
 
 In Ireland there was a Clan Mac Ghillemuire settled in Lecale 
 {Leth-Cathal), County Down. On July 7, 1244, Henry III 
 requests, among others, that Mac Gillemuri himself, and with 
 his forces, will join the Justiciary of Ireland about to depart 
 for Scotland: — 
 
 The King to [Mac Gillemuri]. Thanks him for the good 
 service he is prepared to render. As Alexander, King of 
 Scotland, has made peace, [Mac Gillemuri] may return to his 
 own country, but the king prays he may be ready for service H 
 the ensuing summei'. (For further notices of the Clan Mac 
 Ghillemhuire, see Reeves'' "Ecc. Antiquities," p. 339.) 
 
 The chief of the Clan Morrison, whose dwelling was at Ilabost, 
 Ness, was hereditary judge or brieve {JBreitheatnh) of Lewis, 
 and continiied to hold the office till the beginning of the seven- 
 teenth century. The only record of his judgeshi]) is that given 
 by Sir R. Gordon, who, under the rubric of "What the office 
 of a Breive is among the ilanders," ** states that "The Breive is 
 a kind of judge amongst the islanders, who hath an absolute

 every island, and lie had one eleventh of every subject that was 
 in dis]>ute, but from whom there was an appeal to the chief 
 judge in Islay.ft Very exaggerated notions remain of the extent 
 of the jurisdiction of the Brieve of Lewis. One writer asserts 
 that it was a venerable institution that had stood for many ages,

 and that the jurisdiction extended over the Hebrides from Islav 
 to the Butt of Lewis, and on the opposite coast to the Ord of 
 Caithness; another, that he was invested by His Majesty as judge 
 arbiter from Cape Wrath to the Mull of Kintyre, and was abso- 
 lute in his jurisdiction. * 
 
 It is probable that the Brieve in Lewis represented the log-maor 
 of Norse domination, and that in the progress of time the office 
 changed from that of law-man or speaker-of-the-law at the ^jm^, 
 or i)opular assembly, to that of Domandi^ or administrator of 
 justice. In the Isle of Man the Deem)<ttr held an office of great 
 anti<piity. He was judge in cases of life and death, as well as 
 in the most trifling contentions. His presence, whether in liouse 
 or field, on horseback or on foot, constituted a court ; his decisions 
 were guided either by what he could remember of like cases, or 
 by his sense of justice, and this lex non scripta was called "breast- 
 law." On assuming office he swore that he would administer 
 justice between man and man as evenly as the back-bone of the 
 herring lies between the two sides of the fish. Wherever the 
 deemster Avas present, the aggrieved jiaity could lug his op]>onent 
 before him. The ])laintiff placed his foot u])on that of the 
 defendant, and held it there till judgment was pronounced. 
 Both in Lewis and in Man the decision seems to have been 
 accepted without reserve. 
 
 On the 20th May, 1527, King James addressed a letter to 
 *' Oure Breff of Inuerness," where "breff " is synonymous with 
 "sheriff"; from whence it may be inferred that the vice-comes of 
 Skye, named in the Chronicle of Man, was the brieve of that island. 
 How the office of law-man Avas abused un4er Scottish tyranny in 
 Shetland may be seen in Balfour's "Oppressions"; but in Lewis, 
 owing to its remote situation, the brieve appears to have exercised 
 his ancient jurisdiction without interference. It is very doubtful 
 if ever a brieve of Lewis could have spoken a Avord of English, 
 and as the Scots Acts of Parliament have not been translated 
 into Gaelic, the decisions of the judge can never have had any 
 relation to them. Before the utter confusion into which the 
 country fell toAvards the close of the sixteenth century, the 
 brieve of LcAvis, like the bard of Clanranald, may haAe leceived 
 some education in Gaelic; but in any case Ave have ample proof 
 that he exercised his office most nnsparingly, for there are fcAv 
 islands or districts in Avhich the Cnoc na Chroiche, or GalloAvs 
 Hill,t is not a conspicuous feature. With the judge, says Dr. 
 Mac Ivor, perished the different records of the Lewis, and of the 
 countries OA'er wliich he had jurisdiction, except a fcAV memo-

 raiida, or rather scraj)t<,* retained by some of the judge's de- 
 scendants who esca])ed the fury of the Macleods. 
 
 The " Indweller " is only partially correct in stating that Ken- 
 nanus Makurich, ?'. e. Cain Macvurich {Cathan Mac Mhurich), 
 was tlie first Morrison in Lewis ; for the current tradition through- 
 out the island is that the heiress of the Morrisons, having deter- 
 mined she would only marry with a Morrison, Cain, who was a 
 Macdonald from Ardnamurchan, passed himself off for a Mor- 
 rison, became husband of the lady, and consequently brieve also. 
 The Harris Morrisons claim to be of the original stock. The 
 North Uist historian of the Sleat Macdonalds (Hugh Macdonald) 
 states that "Reginald married a brother's son of his grandfather's 
 to an heiress of the name of the Morrisons in the Lewis"; and 
 that lieginald was killed by the Earl of Ross in 134G.t 
 
 It is further stated that Angus Oig, of Islay, married a daughter 
 of Guy O'Kaine in Ireland ;$ and this is confirmed by Mac Firbis, 
 who writes that the mother of John Mac Angus of Islay was 
 Ai/ie, daughter of Cumliaighe W Cathain. § In this wav the 
 name of Cain has been introduced — if it was not there before — 
 into the Clan Macdonald, and through them it has been continued 
 as a family name among the Morrisons to the present day. 
 
 The conclusion to be drawn is that Kennanus Makurich, i. e. 
 Cain Macvurich, who was adopted into, and from whom descended 
 the leading family of the Morrisons of Ness, was the son of Murdo, 
 son, or rather grandson, of John the Bold, founder of the family 
 of Ardnamurchan; and that the marriage took place not long 
 before 1346. 
 
 I am told that the badge of the Morrisons is "drift-wood," of 
 which a great quantity is driven upon the west coast of Lewis. 
 The Lewis Avord for drift-wood is sgoid; hence, in derision, a 
 Morrison will be told that he has a "skate" (sgait, Gae.) for a 
 baby. || 
 
 Besides the district of Ness, the Morrisons were dominant in- 
 the district of Diurness, in Lord Reay's country. The tradition 
 of their settlement there is that Ay Mac Hormaid (Aodh Mac 
 T/iormoid), a Morrison from Lewis, who was a handsome and 
 good-looking fellow, went for a cargo of meal to Thurso, and there 
 married the daughter (or the sister) of the Bishop of Caithness, 
 who bestowed upon the young couple the whole of Diurness, with 
 Ashir.Tf Ay Morrison "brought over with him from Lewis a col-

 In 1518, Mac Ian of Ardnamnrchan was killed;! the Uist his- 
 torian says that he fled for the s])ace of a mile, but was over- 
 taken by Mr. (/. e. the Master or Heir) Allan Morrison, and killed 
 by the Laird of Raisay.l 
 
 In 1546-47, March '^2, there is a remission to "Rorie M'Cleud 
 of the Lewis," and some of his clan, for treasonable assistance 
 given to "Mathew, formerly Earl of Lennox," § among whom is 
 "William M'hucheon," prol^ably a son of the brieve. 
 
 In 1551, July 23, Patrick Davidson is paid £10 by the king's 
 treasurer that he may go to the Lewis to charge "M'Cleude of the 
 Lewis and Hucheon of the Lewis to come to my Lord Governor 
 [Arran] at the aire at Inverness." || This is Hucheon Morrison, 
 brieve or judge of Lewis, who was indirectly the cause of the 
 ruin of the Siol Torquil. 
 
 The Mackenzie faction, having failed to gain Lewis, left the 
 Morrisons ex|)Osed to the vengeance of the Macleods for their 
 treachery to Torquil Du. The oligarchic Sir R. Gordon cannot 
 imagine that the ties of lilood should be sujK'rior to fealty to a 
 chief. About this time the Morrisons fortified themselves in Dun 
 Eystein, at Ness. 
 
 Dun Eystein is a natural stronghold at the north end, or Ness, 
 of Lewis, in the townland of Cnoc Aird, to which the Morrisons 
 were wont to retire Avhen hard pressed or in times of Avar. It is 
 a flat, cliffy island, of a somewhat oval shape, about 75 yards long 
 and 50 yards broad, and is separated from the mainland by a nar- 
 row, perpendicular ravine, through which the sea fiows at high 
 water. The ravine is between 30 and 40 feet broad, and the same 
 in height. The remains of a strong Avail folloAv the edge of the 
 cliff on the landAvard side of the island, and through the wall 
 there are said to haA-e been squints or loopholes for obserA'ation 
 and defence. 
 
 ToAvards the northeast corner of the island is a dun or castle, 
 sometimes called 7^ig/i nam Arm, or the House of Arms, now but 
 4 5 feet high. The outside of the dun is an oblong square, 23 by 
 18 feet; and this basement is nearly solid, for the central area, 
 which is of an oval shape, is only 6^ by 4^ feet, and there is no 
 appearance of any doorway. The entrance or doorAvay Avas no 
 doubt at the height of the first floor, similar to a cKm in Taransay. 
 The walls are of dry-stone masonry, but that is no proof of age 
 in this part of the country. When exiiloring the ruins, the Rev.

 M. Macpliail, who made the above measurements, found a small 
 piece of flint, fragments of charcoal, and a strip of leather such 
 as was used for making l)rogues. 
 
 There are the remains of huts ui)on the island ; and on the 
 south sides is a flat ledge, called Palla* na Biorlinn^ or the Ledge 
 of the Galley or liirlin, whei-eon tradition tells that the uNIorrisons 
 used to haul u]) their boat. 
 
 There is no tradition of the Eysteinn who gave his name to the 
 dun; it is a common Xorse mime. 
 
 Many sanguinary battles, still recounted by tradition, were 
 fought between the Macleods and JMacaulays on one side, and the 
 Morrisons on the other. At last the Morrisons were forced to 
 leave Lewis, and take refuge with that branch of their clan which 
 was settled in Duirness and Edderachyllis, in Sutherland, where 
 still, in 1798, the natives were all, excejit a few, of the three names 
 of Mac Leay, Morrison, or Macleod. 
 
 At that time there lived on Eilean S/tiandaidh (pronounced 
 Elen Handa), i. e. Sandey or Sand Island, one of the family of 
 Assynt Macleods, named Little John Mac Donald Vic Hucheon, 
 a man of low stature, but of matchless strength and skill in arms. 
 He and the brieve, John Morrison, met accidentally in a house in 
 Inverkirkaig in Assyant. Being in one room and of contrarv 
 factions, presently they fell to fighting, when, although the Brieve 
 had six men, and John of Sandey but four, the Brieve and five 
 of the Morrisons were killed without any loss on the side of 
 the Macleods. Sir R. Gordon suggests that God deprived the 
 Brieve and his company of the courage or ability to resist; but 
 it must not be forgotten that this same John of Sandey had 
 been previously defeated at Carloway, in Lewis, by the Morrison 
 faction. t 
 
 Among the numerous islands on the coast of Edderachyllis is 
 one called Eilean a Bhritheiuih^ or Judge's Island; for after John 
 Morrison had been slain, his friends in Lewis came in a galley to 
 bring home his corpse ; but contrary Avinds arising, they were 
 driven to this island, where they found it convenient to disem- 
 bowel the body and bury the intestines, and on the wind changing 
 they arrived in safety at Ness, J 
 
 Malcolm Mor Mac Ian, who now succeeded to the chieftainship 
 of the Morrisons, sought for John of Sandey, in order to revenge 
 the death of his father, when both ])arties met by chance in Coy- 
 geach. They fought; but John of Sandey, besides killing most 
 of the opposite party, took Malcolm Mor himself prisoner, and 
 carried him to Tormod Macleod in Lewis, who caused him to be 
 beheaded. This was between 1601 and 1605.

 As noted above, those of tl)e Brieve's descendants* who had 
 escaped the fuiy of the Macleods took refuge with the portion 
 of their chm that was settled in Lord Reay's country. When 
 the Mackenzies had gained possession of Lewis, the relatives of 
 the Brieve returned and established themselves again at Ness. 
 According to tradition, John the Brieve, who was killed at 
 Inverkarkaig, had four sons, — Allan, Donald, Kenneth, and 
 Angus. A fifth was Malcolm Mor, who was beheaded at Storn- 
 oway. Allan and two otliers are said to have been killed in a 
 sea-fight by Neil Macleod, and their heads were probably taken 
 by Neil Macleod to Edinburgh, where he himself was afterwards 
 hanged. Of Donald we ap])ear to have authentic record ; for in 
 a commission of Fire and Sword, dated 24th June, 1630, granted 
 to "Rorie M'Kenzie of Cogach, Tutor of Kintaill," and others, 
 against the remaining members of the Siol Torquil, "Donald 
 M'Indowie [Donald IVfacillevore] Brieff " is included, and this is 
 the last notice I have found of the Brieve of Lewis. 
 
 Donald, along with some Macleods, is described as having been 
 concerned in the first rebellion against the Gentlemen Adven- 
 turers; but it is difiicult to understand why a Morrison, whose 
 clan had suffered so severely for having favored the Mackenzies, 
 was included in the commission of extermination. It is repeatedly 
 affirmed that the Morrisons assisted the Mackenzies to reduce 
 Lewis, but a slight explanation is offered by one of the bards, f 
 who states that the "Soldier of Kintail promised part of Kintail 
 to Donald, but never gave it." 
 
 Towards the end of the seventeenth century, the whole of 
 Lewis formed but two parishes, Barvas and Ey (Stornoway). 
 The minister of Barvas was the Rev. Donald Morrison, who 
 must have been born about 1620; he was a grandson of the judge, 
 was bred an Episcopalian minister, but conformed to Presbyteri- 
 anism. He was personally knoAvn to Martin, and supplied that 
 invaluable writer with information about North Rona. Mr. 
 Donald helped to suppress the sacrifice to Shony X about 1670,

 X This remarkable superstition — of making and ofFerinff at Hallowmas 
 to a supposed sea-sod, that he miuht send a plentiful supply of sea-weed 
 on shore, and which was supposed to have been abandoned about IfiTO — 
 must have been the survival of the hnust-hlot, or autunmal sacrificial 
 feast of the pa,;::an Scandinavians; for Sjoni is a name derived from son^ 
 an atonement, sacrifice (of tlie heathen aue). (Cleasby's Iced. Die., pp. 
 53.5, oSd.) OnniKh- Sjoni is named in the "Land-l)ok," pp. 7;>, 89. But 
 althoniih the sacriflre to Shony may have been repressed, the superstition 
 only took another form; for up to quite recent times there existed an 
 almOst extinct cu.stom of pioceedin^- in spring to the end of a lonu' reef, 
 and there invoking '• Brianiiil."' " Brianuilt," to .send a strong north wind 
 and drive plenty of sea-ware on shore to manure tlie land.

 and died before 1700, in liis eiolity-sixth year. He was succeeded 
 in Barvas by his son, the Rev. AUan JMorrison.* 
 
 When Mr. Donald was niinistei- of Barvas, his brother. Rev. 
 Kenneth Morrison, was minister of Stornoway; he joined Avith 
 his brother in suppressing the sacrifice to Shoiiy, and informed 
 Martin of a singular method which lie saw practised in his 
 own church for exorcising the second sight from a "Maid." f 
 He also conformed to the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Kenneth 
 was a highly gifted man, and well suited to repress the tur- 
 moils in Lewis which then existed between the Papists and 
 Protestants; for he used to walk from his manse at Tong to 
 the church at Stornoway with his sword at his side, and when 
 preaching he had two men standing Avith drawn swords at the 
 door of the church. 
 
 The Pa]>ists received great encoin-agement from John Macken- 
 zie of Assynt (who Avas a Papist), Laird of Kildun, and uncle 
 of William, Earl of Seaforth. They ke])t Mr. Kenneth so much 
 on the alert that he ncA^er went to bed Avithout liaA'ing his SAA'ord 
 lying by him. On one occasion the Laird of Kildun Avas so 
 exasperated against the minister tliat he sent six stout men to 
 bring Mr. Kenneth by force to Aignish, Avhere he then resided. 
 The men arrived at the manse just as Mr. Kenneth had gone to 
 bed; his Avife suspected some ca^I design, and informed her 
 husband. He merely told her to send them up-stairs if they 
 had any business with him. They were brought to his room, 
 and on his asking them Avhat they wanted, they told him that 
 the Laird had bid them take him to Aignish. $ He replied, "Oh, 
 very Avell; let us first drink the Laird's health, and then I Avill go 
 witli you." To this there Avas no objection. Now Mr. Kenneth 
 had a A^ery large "dram-horn," § Avhich Avas only used on particular

 With regard to the terminations nil, uilt, I hazard the conjecture that

 I take to be a condensed form of Breanainn-sheoladair, i. e. Brendan the 
 Voyager. 
 
 There is a legend among the Lewis folk which implies that the " Temple" 
 on Sulasgeir Avas erected by or dedicated to St. Brendan ; but tlie inference 
 is countervailed by the fact that the island is known as "Bara," which 
 surely means the island of St. Barr.

 occasions ; and it was now produced. The men drank the Laird's 
 health and then that of his kidy. His Reverence then asked 
 them to drink his own health. By this time the men were so 
 exhilarated that they would drink anybody's health. But John 
 Barleycorn was master of them, and they were soon unable to 
 move hand or foot. Mr. Kenneth then made his own men bind 
 them Avith ropes of straw, carry them to the boat, ferry them to 
 Aignish, and lay them in the passage leading to the Laird's room. 
 The Laird was restless from anxiety, and rose early to learn what 
 success had attended his adventure, and, on going out, stumbled 
 over one of his drunken men. They could give no account of 
 how they came there, nor why they were bound Avith straw in so 
 ridiculous a manner. The Laird said this was black Kenneth's 
 doing, and that he had ])ractised some trick to bring them to that 
 condition; but that they should be thankful to Mi-. Kenneth for 
 not having left them on the shore within reach of the flood. 
 
 The clemency of Mr. Kenneth softened in some degree the 
 anger of the Laird, for shortly afterwards he wrote to Mr. Ken- 
 neth to come to Aignish to have a discussion on the merits of 
 their respective creeds. Mr. Kenneth was kindly received, and 
 after dinner the discussion took place. Mr. Kenneth seems to 
 have advanced his arguments with moderation, and illustrated 
 them with amusing stories, by which the Laird Avas induced to 
 assert that he Avould more minutely examine into the doctrines of 
 his Church. From that time the Laird moderated his zeal for 
 the Pa])ists, and lived on good terms Avitli Mr. Kenneth. 
 
 The Rev. Kenneth Morrison Avas a good poet, as some of his 
 productions in the Gaelic language sufficiently attest. The Rev. 
 Aulay Macaulay, minister of Harris, married a daughter of the 
 Rev. Kenneth Morrison. 
 
 Mr. Kenneth Avas succeeded as minister of StornoAvay by his 
 second cousin, the Rca^ Donald Morrison, wdiose jiedigree is thus 
 given : Donald MacRorie Vic Angus Vic Allan 3Ihic a Bhrei- 
 theimh; i. e. son of the Brieve (John Morrison). Mr. Donald 
 must have liA^ed till 1747, Avhen his successor, the Rev. John 
 Clark, Avas admitted.* 
 
 . It is told that Mr. Donald studied at St. AndrcAv's, Avhere, hav- 
 ing Avon the good opinion of the professors, they recommended 
 him to the notice of William, Earl Seaforth, Avho presented him 
 to the chxirch of StornoAA^ay. Mr. Donald Avas zealous in his call- 
 ing; in no long time he married a lady of great personal attrac- 
 tions; Seaforth, the young Laird of Kildun, and many others 
 were at the Avedding. That night nothing but politics Avere dis- 
 cussed, and they all got early to bed. Seaforth invited Mr. 
 Donald, his bride, and all the j^arty to come next day to Seaforth 
 Lodge, where there AA^as a splendid and cheerful feast. The Rev. 
 Kenneth Macaulay, minister of Harris, but a LcAvis man, was 
 present. 
 
 * O. S. A., vol xix, p. 250; CuUoden Papers, p. 293. 
 
HEREDITARY JUDGES OF LEWIS. 35 
 
 Seafortli himself was a Protestant, but tlie Laird of Kildun and 
 some others were rank Papists, and they determined to browbeat 
 the two ministers. A smart discussion ensued; but it is a Pro- 
 testant who rejwrts the arguments, so of course the Protestants 
 had the best of it. 
 
 Not long afterwards Mrs. Morrison became unruly in her family, 
 when it was found out that the cause of Mrs. Morrison's change 
 from better to worse was the effect of spirits. Mr. Donald was 
 unable to reform his wife, so that her habitual intemperance 
 became known far and wide, and the clergy threatened to sus- 
 pend him for not separating from such a woman. He received a 
 letter from the Synod to appear before it. By the advice of 
 Seaforth, he wrote to his relation, the Rev. Angus Morrison (of 
 Contin), who was then living at Doire-na-muic, by Little Loch 
 Broom. Mr. Angus gave Mr. Donald a sealed letter, dated 1741, 
 to the moderator of the Spiod ; but in spite of argument the 
 Synod summoned Mr. Donald before the General Assembly. 
 The two friends went to Edinburgh, and there engaged the 
 services of John Macleod, of Muiravonside, advocate. After 
 hearing arguments from both sides, the Assembly decided against 
 the Synod. 
 
 Some months after Mr. Donald had returned to Stornoway, on 
 a Sunday after coming from church, he was reading the Bible, 
 while Mrs. Morrison was Ijrawliug and annoying all the family. 
 But the minister was deaf to her noise, and would take no notice 
 of her. This so enraged Mrs. Morrison that she snatched the 
 Bible off the table and threw it in the fire. His reverence pre- 
 served his composure, and, drawing his chair close to the fire, and 
 warming his hands, he said, "Well, mistress; this is the best fire 
 I ever Avarmed myself at." Mrs. Morrison gazed at her husband 
 and at the Bible in the flames; without saying anything, she 
 withdrew to another room, and from that hour, to the joy of all 
 around her, she became sober and penitent, and strove daily to 
 add to the comfort of her husband and family.* 
 
 In 1653, Murdo Morrison, son of Allan, son of the brieve 
 (John), was tacksman of Gress. He had three sons, — John, 
 subsequently known as the tacksman of Bragar, Allan, and 
 Murdo. 
 
 On the 10th August, 1653, Colonel Corbett, of the Roundhead 
 army, took possession of the peninsula on which the town of 
 Stornoway now stands; and having had the arms of the ])lace 
 delivered up to him, he fortified the point and left Major Crispe 
 as governor of Lewis, with six companies of soldiers, two great 
 guns, and four sling pieces. On 31st January, 1654, a strange 
 report reached Edinburgh, that Seaforth had with 1,400 men 
 stormed the fort of Stornoway and taken it. But on the 14th 
 February, 1654, more certain information arrived there, and "the

 Rasy, and neplicw of Seafortli], with four or live hundred men, 
 landed in the Lewis Island [at Loch Shell], and after three or 
 four days staying at some inaccessible places in the isle, fell upon 
 our soldiers who lay at Stornoway out of the fort, and killed 
 twelve of them; but a party out of the fort beat them thence, 
 relieved the remainder of the men, removed the goods into the 
 fort, and burnt the houses." On 21 st March, news arrived at 
 Dalkeith, that "the garrison of Lewis had made slaughter of the 
 country i)eo])le that joyned with Seaforth, and they have also 
 slaughtered some of the garrison ; the old natives [Macleods] 
 joyned with our men against tlie rest of tlie country, so that 
 these divisions cause great devastation in those parts."" * 
 
 Tliis account is corroborated by the "Indweller";t but the 
 patriotic antiquists now tell a very different story, which need 
 not be repeated here; except that John, the future tacksman of 
 Bragar, being on good terms Avith the officers of the garrison, 
 spent the night previous to the attack in drinking with themj 
 and after observing where the sentinels were posted, and the 
 weakest part of the defence, returned to Gress. His brother 
 Allan had been employed in collecting the Lewis men. The 
 attack was made at night in tw^o columns, — Seaforth marching 
 by the lands of Torry, and Rasay by Bayhead.l The result is 
 stated above. 
 
 John Morrison, of Bragar, wdio is said to have had "Ladies 
 modesty, Bishojjs gravity. Lawyers eloquence, and Captains con- 
 duct," Avas personally knoAvn to Martin, and described by him as 
 "a ])erson of iinquestional»le sincerity and reputation"; and he 
 is still rememlK'red for his poetry, shrewdness, and Avit. He is 
 named by Martin at pp. 28, 315, and 316 of the "Western 
 Isles." 
 
 A great part of the lands of Bragar Avas, as Avas universal at 
 that time, sublet to tenants. It happened that Seaforth sent for 
 Morrison to come to Stornoway. It Avas spring-time, and Mor- 
 rison was in doubt as to Avhom he should leave in charge of the 
 farm during his absence. In order to fix upon the most trust- 
 worthy, lie took the folloAving ])lan : he closed up all the AvindoAvs 
 and openings that admitted light, and placed a big stone in the 
 passage that led to his room. He then sent to tell all his tenants 
 that he had something to say to them. The tenants arrived, each 
 one stumbling oA^er the stone, till at last an old man, after spraAvl- 
 ing across the ]»assage, remarked that that Avas no place for such 
 a stone, and rolled it out of the way. John Morrison then said 
 to his tenants, " You. may now go away all of you ; but while I 
 am absent, see you obey the instructions of this old man, Avhom 
 I leave as my substitute, and Avho appears to be the most careful 
 and willing of you all." 
 
 One day John Morrison had the peo})le of Balaloch, in Bragar, 
 
 * Spot. Mis., vol. ii, pp. 124, 126, 1G9, 196.

 working on his farm. They had their l:)reakfast at his house, but 
 lingered too long over it. When they resumed their work, he 
 addressed them thus : — 
 
 Fasan muintir Balalocli, 
 
 Au deigli 1110 chuid araiii is brochaiii ith 'us ol. 
 
 Na h-uile fear'baii'airt eiridh, 
 
 'S clia togadli e feiii thou. 
 
 As much as to say that it was the way of the people of Balaloch, 
 after eating his bread and drinking his brochan* for each to say 
 it is time for us to go to work, but that no one got up from his 
 seat. 
 
 On one occasion John Morrison considered himself overcharged 
 by the factor, and refused to pay his deniand. The factor com- 
 plained to Seaforth, who sent for Morrison to come to Stornoway. 
 Morrison set out at once, putting the rent into one jnirse and 
 what he considered to be the overcharge in another. When he 
 arrived at Seaforth Lodge, a large dog barked furiously at him, 
 on which Morrison struck it a violent blow on the nose with his 
 stick. The dog yelled dismally, and one of Seaforth's servants, 
 on coming to see what was the matter, commenced to abuse Mr. 
 Morrison, who punished his insolence by striking him on the jaw. 
 The uproar now was greater than ever, and Seaforth made his 
 appearance. John Morrison explained the origin of the row, and 
 added : — 
 
 Gille tiglieania ' us cii mor. 
 
 Ditliis iiach coir lei.iiidh leo ; 
 
 Buail am l)alacli air a' charl^aid. 
 
 'S buail am l)algair air au t-sroiu.

 The boy (menial) and bull-dog (watch-dog) of a laird 
 Are two that should not be let alone; 
 Strike the boy on the jaw, 
 And strike the dog ou the nose. 
 
 Seaforth was amused at Morrison's imjiromptu verse, and 
 welcomed him cordially. Morrison told him why he had not 
 paid the rent, and presented the bags containing the real rent 
 and what he had been overcliarged. On inquiry, it was found 
 that the factor exacted more rent than was just, and he was 
 dismissed, while John Morrison ha<l the honor of paying his rent 
 in future into Seafortli's own hands. 
 
 John Morrison sent two of his servants to pull heather for 
 making ropes ; one jiulled indiscriminately whatever came in his 
 way, whether fit or unfit; the other left a great deal of soil 
 sticking to the roots. When John Morrison saw what they 
 had done, he said: — 
 
 Chuir me breinean'us fuididh 
 'Bhuain fraoich an cnideachda cheile ; 
 Thug breiuean dliachaidh an cudthrom, 
 'S thug fuididh ddachidli na gcugan.

 John Morrison had a red-haired wife, who was sometimes in a 
 bad temper, and on whom lie occasionally practised his sarcastic 
 hmiKU', as follows: — 
 
 Diubhaidh connaidh fearna fhlluch ; 
 
 Diubhaidh side flion chur; 
 
 'S gus an teid an saoghal as 
 
 'Se diubhaidh an t-saoghail drocli bhean.

 The worst of fuel is wet alder; 
 The worst of weather is soft sleat; 
 And until the world is at an end 
 The worst thing in it is a bad wife. 
 Again : — •

 'Tiormachadh cloich ann an cuan ; 
 Comhairle ga toirt air mnaoi bhuirb

 It appears to have been the custom in Lewds for the ground- 
 officer (under-bailiff ; maor^ in Gaelic) to have claimed half the 
 smith's dues. Donald MacRorie was then ground-officer, and 
 his demand was resisted by Murdo Morrison. "His father ])leaded 
 his cause very pithily, as follows : — 
 
 Aon de charaibh an t-saoghail 
 
 Saoilidh mi fein gu 'm beil e tuadhal ; 
 
 Gobha ga losgadh an cardaich 
 
 "S letli ua caiu aig Domhuil Mac Ruairidh : 
 
 meaning that he thought the world must be turning round the 
 wrong way; for Donald Mac Rorie to take half the cam (tax, 
 dues) while the smith was being scorched in his smithy. 
 
 John Morrison had to pay some tax in Stornoway, and sent it 
 by Donald Chuain, a poor man who sometimes worked on his 
 farm. When Donald came back, John Morrison went to Donald's 
 house, Avhere he found him leaning on his elbow in bed. When 
 John Morrison was leaving, he said: — 
 
 'S buidhe dhuit fein Dhomhuill Chuain 
 'S tu ad laidhe air do chluain thaobh; 
 Cha thog pracadair do gheall, 
 'S cha mho tha thu an taing ua maoir.

 Reclining easy on your side ; 
 
 A tax-gatherer will not sue thee for taxes, 
 
 Nor to a maor (ground-ofhcer) you need not crouch.

 On another occasion, John Morrison addresses Donald Chuain 
 thus : — 
 
 Dh' fhalbli thu s' clui nihist learn 
 '8 dh' fhay tlui mo liouii again feiii 
 'S leis a bhith l)ha nam fheoil 
 Dheanainn ol ged dheidheadh tn eig : 
 
 but the meaning is obscure.* 
 
 Donald of the Ocean is immortalized by Martin ; for he tells us 
 Donald lived in a village near Bragar, and that he cut his toe at 
 the change of the moon (perhaps on this very journey), " and 
 it bleeds a fi-esh drop at the change of the moon ever since." 
 (West. Isles, p. 13.) 
 
 Once when the family at Bragar Avas short of meal, John Mor- 
 rison left home in the morning to buy some, but in the evening 
 returned with empty sacks, for he had unloaded what he had got 
 at a little distance from the house. When his wife saw the empty 
 sacks, she began to scold him angrily. Morrison allowed her to 
 go on till she was tired, and then went and fetched the meal. As 
 soon as she saw it, her mood changed, and slie began to smile. 
 John Morrison then said : — 
 
 Ni thu gaire 'uair a gheibli thn min; 
 'S mist do ghcan bhi gun bhiadh ; 
 'S b'fear learn fein ua'n t-each dearg 
 Nach tigitlh fearg ort riammh. 
 
 TUANSLATION. 
 
 You laugh when you get meal ; 
 
 Y'our good humor is the worse for being without food ; 
 
 I would rather than the red horse 
 
 That auger came not ou you ever : 
 
 meaning that he would give his red horse to have her always in 
 good humor. 
 
 To his various other talents, John Morrison of Bragar seems to 
 have added tliatof engineer; for Seaforth having — about 1660 — 
 undertaken the siege of the castle of Ardvrack, belonging to 
 Macleod of Assynt, and finding he made but little progress, sent 
 for John Morrison, who, having gone over the ground, recom- 
 mended that four hundred raw cow-hides should be made into 
 bags and stuffed with moss. The bags were ])laced in a line and 
 raised to the height of a man, and from the shelter of this ram- 
 part the besiegers fired upon their assailants without receiving 
 any damage themselves. Some say the Mackenzies placed the 
 wives of the Macleods upon the top of the rampart ; at any rate, 
 the castle was quickly surrendered.! 
 
 John Morrison had five sons, four of whom, Roderick, Angus, 
 John, and Murdo, seem to have inherited their father's genius ; the 
 fifth is said to have been Malcolm, who was appointed to the 
 Chapel of Poolewe. $

 Roderick, called An Clasdir Dall, or the Blind Harper, finds 
 a place in Mackenzie's "Beauties of Gaelic Poetry"; but I have 
 nothing to add to what is there stated, except that his father 
 declared that he was put to more expense and trouble in bringing 
 up one son as a musician, than he would have had in educating 
 three as clergymen.* 
 
 The fame of Angus, minister of Contin, occupies a wide space 
 in folk-lore. He was " the last Episco]>al minister of Contin, of 
 whom many interesting anecdotes are still related, illustrative of 
 his wit and bencA^olence. This excellent man suffered very harsh 
 treatment for refusing to conform to Presbytery. He was rudely 
 ejected from his own church, to which he had fled as a sanctu- 
 ary." t The writer goes on to say tliat he closed a long, honorable, 
 and a useful life in great indigence ; biit I think this must be a 
 mistake, for, besides that he owned the small pro])erty at Doire- 
 na-Muic, by I^ittle Loch Broom, we find that " Mrs. Morrison, 
 daughter of Mr. Angus Morrison, the last Episcopal minister of 
 Contin," left a legac}^ of £80, for charitable purposes, to the poor 
 of Foderty ; | and that " Mrs. St. Clair, who died at Jamaica [pos- 
 sibly the same lady as the Mrs. Morrison named above], a native 
 of this parish [Contin], daughter of Mr. JEneas Morrison, min- 
 ister of Contin," left a legacy of £100 to the poor of that parish. § 
 He was living on his own property at Doire-na-Muic, by Little 
 Loch Broom, in 1723, and travelled to Edinburgh in that or the 
 following year. 
 
 The Rev. Angus Morrison, otherwise called Black Angus, was 
 noted for his sagacity, wit, and good felh^wshij), as Avell as for 
 being a learned and eloquent ]»reacher. The sgeulachdan of the 
 " Fathers in Ross-shire " are A^aluable, not so much for tlieir his- 
 toric truth, but as illustrating the way of life and mode of thought 
 of that time. Alexander Mackenzie, of Applecross and Highfield, 
 bought and sold cattle, and sometimes went with liis droves to 
 England, where he sold them to great advantage. At one time, 
 Mackenzie having sold his drove, was staying at a gentleman's 
 house in Yorkshire, and, on the Sabbath day, attended divine ser- 
 vice. The preacher was a talented man, and much esteemed for 
 his doctrine and eloquence. Conversation turning upon the dis- 
 course, Mackenzie said that there Avas a preacher in Ross-shire 
 who excelled any they could bring against him in soundness of 
 doctrine, fluency of speech, and clear and powerful delivery ; and 
 that he would stake £50 upon it. His English friend accepted 
 the wager. When Mackenzie came home, he went to Contin, 
 and told Mr. Angus of the wager. He replied, " Well, Sandy, I '11 
 go with you to Yorkshire ; but I fear you will have a ])oor chance 
 for your money." Mi-. Angus let his Ijeard grow, and for a snuff-

 mull he took a rough, undressed rain's horn of most uncouth 
 appearance, and for a lid closed it with a pickle of straw. Apjile- 
 cross and Mr. Angus arrived safely on a Saturday night at their 
 destination, and on the next day, as the wager was well known, 
 there was a large assemlilage to hear the Scotch minister. It was 
 then the custom, when rivals had to preach, that a text, from 
 which they had to 2:)reach extempore, was placed in the j)ulpit by 
 the Presbytery. When Mr. Angus entered the pulpit, he was 
 meanly dressed, and, with his long beard, presented an uncouth 
 appearance. He looked round the pul])it for the slip of paper 
 with the text upon it, and finding none, sat down, ])ulled out his 
 ram's horn and took a pinch. At last one of the ministers got uj), 
 and asked him if he Avas going to address them. Mr. Angus said 
 they had given him no text. One of the ministers told him he 
 could take his own beard and snuff-box for a text. I omit the 
 sermon. Of course, Aaron's beard and its anointing, and what 
 it was typical of, were introduced. In the evening the rani's 
 horn was the text, which was illustrated by Joshua and his trum- 
 pets, Avith suitable apjilications and inferences. When the ser- 
 mons were concluded, all the ministers gave their A'erdict in his 
 faA^or. So Applecross Avon his Avager, Avhich he 2:)resented to Mi-. 
 Angus, AAdio had no scru})le in accepting it.* 
 
 Other reminiscences Avould lead to the conclusion that the days 
 of the Fathers in Ross-shire were not all so miserable as has been 
 supposed ; but they are passed over to giA'e place to an instance of 
 the sagacity of the minister of Contin. Some sheep had been 
 stolen from a parishioner, and the soldiers at Fort Augustus A\'ere 
 suspected of the theft. With the consent of the commanding 
 officer, the soldiers Avere draAA^i np, Avhen Mr. Angus gave each of 
 them a straAV, and told them he should knoAV Avhicli of them Avas 
 the thief, for he Avould be in ])ossession of the longest straw. The 
 man AA^ho was guilty of the theft sliortened his straAv to aAoid 
 detection, and Avas thereby discoA'ered. 
 
 Mr. Angus Avas as courageous as he Avas Avitty ; for, haA ing 
 business in Edinburgh, he had arriA^ed at IiiAerness, Avhere he A\as 
 informed that a desi)erate robljer, of Avhom a party of soldiers Avas 
 in pursuit, and for AAiiom a rcAvard Avas offered, Avas supposed to 
 be lurking ujion the road. Mr. Angus, hoAvever, proceeded u])on 
 his journey, but Avas again Avarned that the robber had lately lieeii 
 seen in that neighborhood. Mr. Angus, having a fast horse, thougltt 
 he might venture to proceed ; but as he Avas passing througli a 
 wood, the robber sprang from behind a tree, and, presenting a 
 pistol at Mr. Angus's breast, demanded his purse. Mr. Angus, 
 saying that his purse contained A'ery little money, and that he 
 would rather part Avith it than his life, told the robber to hold his 
 horse ; and, as the horse Avas A^ery young and skittish, to take hold 
 of the bridle Avitli both hands. Mr. Angus had a stout stick, and 
 when he saAV both hands of the robber engaged, lie turned to one

 side, and instead of taking out his i)urse as the robber expected, 
 lie raised his stick and bronglit it down with sucli force across the 
 amis of the robber as completely to disable him. Mr. Angus then 
 tied him to the tail of his horse, and returned to Inverness, wdiere 
 he received the reward for the capture, and the hearty congratu- 
 lations of the people.* 
 
 Of Mr. Angus it is said, " His satirical m it was the terror of 
 many in those days, so that any person who invited such a man 
 to a treat, made the best shift he could to please him, and to part 
 Avith him on good terms." When Mr. Angus was living at Little 
 Loch Broom, a neighbor jn-essingly invited Mr. Angus to visit 
 him, which Mr. Angus i)re])ared to do rather unexpectedly. The 
 neighbor caught sight of Mr. Angus coming towards his house, and 
 not being, as he thought, sufficiently jirepared to entertain him, he 
 went into his house and told his wife to say that he had gone from 
 home, and that he would not be back for two days. When Mr. 
 Angus entered, the mistress said what her liusband desired her. 
 But Mr. Angus, who had his suspicions, told her that he would 
 wait till her husband came back. The mistress was very mieasy 
 all day, and towards evening brought a man, with a very large 
 creel, into the culaistf or small room at the end of the house 
 in which her husl)and was secreted. Mr. Angus watched the 
 mistress and the man with some interest, and presently saw the 
 man returning with a heavy load u])on his back. Mr. Angus 
 guessed what was in the creel, and, having his pocket-knife ready, 
 he dexterously cut the stra]) of the creel as the man was passing 
 the liearth. Both the creel and its contents fell into the fire, and 
 the goodinan roared for help. None was more ready than Mr. 
 Angus to render assistance, and to ask the goodman Avhat could 
 have induced him to practise such an expedient. The goodman 
 made a clean breast of it, and added, that had he got out of the 
 house, he would ha^e come in as from a journey, and made the 
 minister welcome to what he had. Mr. Angus explained that he 
 would have been contented with a herring and ])otatoes, and 
 recommended a straightforward line of conduct in the future. $ 
 
 Another of the sons of the tacksman of Bragar w^as the Rev. 
 John Morrison, sometime minister of Urray, in Ross-shire. On 
 the 7th A})ril, 1719, the Rev. John Morrison, of Urray, ordained 
 and admitted the Rev. John MacGillegen, of Altness, minister of 
 Loch Ailsh.§ I have stated before, that I su})])0se the Rev. John 
 Morrison of Urray was the '■'Tndweller," who wrote an account of

 missionary at Amulree in 1745 ; lie was settled in Petty, in Inver- 
 ness-shire^ in 1759, and in 1774 his successor was appointed. He 
 was called the Bard, and one of his popular Gaelic songs was to 
 the lady whom he had ba])tized, and to whom he was afterwards 
 married.* According to Lewis tradition, he was chosen minister 
 of Petty in a competition with four other candidates.! He was 
 a highly-gifted and orthodox preacher, and was believed to be 
 gifted with the spirit of prophecy in a wonderful manner. 
 
 The youngest son of John Morrison of Bragar was Murdo, and 
 he was bred to be a smith. t He was a man of uncommon strength, 
 and possessed a full share of the genius of the family ; he could 
 make swords and guns, though in a measure self-taught. He pro- 
 posed at one time to his father to make a gun for killing deer. 
 His father, doubting his ability, persuaded him not to attempt it. 
 However, he set aV)out it, and on a day he was fixing the gun into 
 the stock when his father entered the smithy. His father said, 
 " You have made a gun contrary to my advice, and I daresay it 
 will never kill a beast." Murdo replied, " Do not judge prema- 
 turely, for I am just going to put a shot into it." There hapi)ened 
 to be a lot of Mr. Morrison's cows grazing at some distance from 
 the smithy, and Murdo said, "What should I have to pay if I 
 shoot that speckled ox from liere ? " " Well," said his father, " if 
 you kill six of my cattle at that distance, yoii will not have to 
 pay a penny for the loss." Murdo fired at the stot, which fell, 
 and Murdo told his father to send a servant to bleed the beast. 
 John Morrison advised his son, if he wanted to keep so good a 
 gun for himself, that he should put no ornament on it, nor fix it 
 in the stock, but simply tie it on with cord, so that the ugly 
 mounting should scare any gentleman from desiring to possess it. 
 From this circumstance it was called Gun na Sraxng, %. e. the 
 Ro}>e Gun. In spite of its ugly mounting, Murdo did great exe- 
 cution m the deer-forest, and on one occasion, when returning 
 from a visit to his brothers at Contin and Urray, he arrived at 
 Gairloch when there Avas a shooting-match for a silver cup. Each 
 competitor had to put a half-crown into the cuj), and Donald Roy 
 Mackenzie, otherwise Donald Roy Mac Vic Urcliy, formerly tacks- 
 man of Park, Lewis, and co-alt (fosterer or foster-brother) of 
 Murdo, persuaded him to try. Murdo aimed at the target, and 
 won both the cup and the money. The laird of Gairloch was so 
 much pleased with Murdo that he sent him in his barge to LeAvis.§ 
 
 In those days Seaforth used to go once a year round Lewis to 
 sport, when he would remain for a night at Mr. Morrison's house

 X The social status of a smith must not be compared with that of a far- 
 rier at the present daj^; besides his farm, his caiii or dues i^ave liim a 
 competent livelihood. In the earliest time he n)ade his own iron (in 
 Sweden, certainly), wiiich he fashioned into anj-thiny that was needed, — 
 needles, fishhooks, arms, armor, etc. ; he manufactured the ,i>;old and silver 
 oruaraents of the w^ealtli_y, and was both jeweller and uoldsmith.

 at Bragar. On one occasion Seaforth had Mackenzie of Assynt 
 with him and the captain of a man-of-war. Seaforth desired a 
 peck measure to be brought, for he had been told that if a sword 
 was properly tempered, it might be bent into the circle of the 
 measure. The gentlemen took their swords, and all stood the 
 trial but Seaforth's, which broke. Seaforth was somewhat disap- 
 pointed with the result. 
 
 In due time the guests went to their beds, when John Morrison 
 told his son that he must not go to his bed, but to his smithy, and 
 try to mend Seaforth's sword. So father and son set to work, 
 and when Murdo had mended and polished the sword, he handed 
 it over to his father, and desired him to tell where it had been 
 broken. His father could not see Avhere it had been joined. 
 Murdo then wanted to go to bed, but his father said, "Not yet; 
 let us try if the sword Avill go into the peck measure without 
 breaking." It did so. The half-peck w^as then brought, and it 
 stood even that trial. 
 
 After breakfast next day, when Seaforth and his suite were pre- 
 ])aring to leave, Seaforth put on the scabbard with, as he thought, 
 the broken sAvord, muttering some words about breaking it. John 
 MoiTison then said that even here, in Bragar, the sword could be 
 repaired and made better than ever. " Well," said Seaforth, " if 
 you could get my sword mended and tempered so as to stand the 
 ])r()|)er trial, I would give you this year's rent of Bragar down." 
 Jolin Morrison re])lied, "Let us see the pieces and be thinking 
 about it." Seaforth drew forth his sword, and, looking at it with 
 astonishment, he remarked, that tliough he had passed the night 
 in bed, that they, tlie Morrisons, had not taken tlieir wonted rest. 
 
 The Gun na iSraing^ altlKHigh an ugly piece of furniture, was 
 a very ])roJfitable one; but after Murdo JNIorrison's death, his son, 
 Donald Morrison, who was tacksman of Habost, at Ness, broke it 
 in a fit of anger, and repented of his rash deed when there was 
 no remedy.* 
 
 The Rev. Norman Morrison, grandson of John Morrison of 
 Bragar, succeeded the Rev. John Macleod, who was the first Pres- 
 byterian minister of Uig. On 9th May, 1763, the Rev. N. Mor- 
 rison received a letter at Balnakil, Uig, dated 30th March last, 
 from Macleod of Hamar (Theo])hilus Insulanus),t in Skye. In 
 answer, the Rev. N. Morrison states that he will subscribe for a

 Haniar was strongiy anti-Jacobite. The tradition concerning him is : 
 Koderick Macleod, tacksman of Hamar, was a true patriot and a loyal 
 subject. After the battle of Sheriffmuir he was appointed by the Com- 
 missioners to uplift the rents of the forfeited estates in Skye and Uist, but 
 manaijcd his lousiness, as kind's factor, with prudence and compassion. 
 
 Hamar was travellini>' to Inverness with the kind's rent, and had but 
 one servant with him, wlio was very strong, but not very wise. Hamar 
 was surprised by three robbers, as he was resting in a wood, and his ser-

 about to be published; but lie assures Macleod that not one in 
 his parish can read but himself.* The book might liave been more 
 useful to Mr. Morrison had it contained instructions for dispelling* 
 these supernatural illusions; however, a demon haA'ing got into 
 communication with Malcolm Macleod, tenant of C'liff, he applied 
 to the minister, who gave him a written ])aj»er M'hich he was to 
 offer to the demon. When they next met, Malcolm presented the 
 paper (the demon being alile to read, while Malcolm could not); 
 but the demon was disgusted, and, on ]\Ialcolni continuing to per- 
 secute him with it, he disappeared and was never seen again. 
 
 But more unruly than the evil spirits were the spirits of some 
 of his parishioners; for one of them, Donald Macaulay, tacksman 
 of Brenish, haA'ing taken offence at the minister, locked him out 
 of his own church ; but the misdemeanor was com])romised by a 
 fine to the poor's-liox.f 
 
 About 177S the Rev. Xorman Morrison was succeeded in Uig 
 by the Rev. Hugh Monro. 
 
 The Morrison clan, besides forming a large ))roportion of the 
 population of Lewis, are numerous in Harris, Xorth and South 
 Uist, and Edderachyllis. The numbers of a clan-name is a good 
 indication of the length of time that the clan has been settled 
 upon the land. Often, by the irony of fate, the poorest beggar is 
 the representative of the most ancient lord of the soil. 
 
 The Harris Morrisons claim to be of the original stock, and the 
 following tradition concerning them is interesting. 
 
 Sometime in the fifteenth centur}', Macleod of Harris, who was 
 a young man, was in Pabbay. He heard that Peter Morrison, a 
 tenant in Pabbay, was an expert wrestler, so he collected the 
 young men of the island and desired them to show their skilL 
 They then began to wrestle, and Peter Morrison proved himself 
 to be the best man. The laird then requested Peter to try a fall 
 with himself; but Peter declined, for he said his temper was such 
 that he could not yield to any man unless he was overpowered. 
 Macleod commended him for his courage, and bade him act as he 
 had said. They then grappled, and Peter soon laid Macleod upon 
 his back. Macleod took no offence, but one who was standing by, 
 thinking to gain the laird's good-will, drew his sword and killed 
 Peter. But when Macleod saw Peter fall, he ordered his men to 
 
 vaut was sleeping a little distance ofl'. Resistance was useless, so he gave 
 up the money. The robbers returned a crown to Hamar to pay his lodg- 
 ings for a daj^ and a night ; but he declined it, and said he would be 
 obliged to them if they would give a good slap to wake up his laz_v servant. 
 The robbers treated the kilted Highlander very rudely, but he sprang up 
 so suddenly that he wrested a gun from one of them in a moment, and 
 killed them both. The third fled; but Hamar, who had by this time got 
 his gun, brought him down. By the clever stratagem of getting the vio- 
 lent temper of his man aroused he regained all his money. After this 
 adventure Hamar alwaj's got some soldiers to be a guard when he was 
 going to Inverness with money.

 seize the murderer, -who fled; but being closely pursued, he jumped 
 headlong over a precipice into the sea. 
 
 Peter Morrison left one son, and the kind laird brought him up 
 with his own children ; and as he displayed considerable ability, 
 he had the chief management of Macleod's estate. 
 
 Young Morrison was a comely person, and, in the suite of Mac- 
 leod, visited Maclean of Coll. It was soon agreed between the chiefs 
 that Morrison should marry one of Coil's daughters ; but when 
 he was called before them, he modestly declined, as he had not 
 wherewith to support a family. But the worthy Macleod said 
 he had ])lenty to maintain them, and that the Laird of Coll would 
 not see his daughter want. Then they went to the young lady's 
 room, and asked her if she objected to marry Macleod's secretary 
 and the chief manager of his affairs. The young lady discreetly 
 answered that she could not refuse what had been arranged for 
 her by her kind friends, but she requested of Macleod that, if she 
 had sons, one should be a minister (priest) and another a smith ; 
 that Macleod should present the minister to a parish, and to the 
 smith the usual reA^enue belonging to his office. This was granted, 
 and there was one son a priest in Plarris, who the people remem- 
 ber as A' Person, and another son was the smith there. From 
 this Morrison the smiths in Harris are descended ; * and I add that 
 while I write the smith in Harris is still a Morrison, and that 
 Peter is yet a distinctive name in that family- 
 
 The following legends are of little historic value, Init they often 
 unconsciously record the ideas and customs of a remote age, and 
 are eminently suggestive on that account. These legends, along 
 with most of the foregoing tales, have been selected either from 
 the MS. "Traditions of Lewis," written by Mr. John Morrison, 
 cooper, Stornoway; or from the Rev. M. Mac])hairs "Traditions 
 of Ness," which were obligingly collected by him in answer to my 
 request for information concerning the "Brieve of Lewis." He 
 says that "most of them were taken down from the dictation of 
 Angus Gunn, at North Dell, who not unfrequently told the same 
 story with additions' and omissions ; he died about a year ago." 
 Gunn could not read, and had no dates, but recited volumes of 
 what he supposed to be the history of Lewis. 
 
 IAN BKITHEAMH, THE JUDGE OF LEWIS. 
 
 John Morrison was married twice ; by his first wife, who was an 
 Irish lady, he had four sons, — Allan, Kenneth, Angus, and Murdo.f 
 He used to go every alternate year for wood to Ullapool, where, 
 after the death of his Irish spouse, he became enamored of the 
 only daughter of the tacksman of Ullajjool (aon nighean Fir 
 JJllapoll). The lady was not willing to accept him, but by the 
 persuasions of the islander and her aged father she was induced 
 to consent, and they were married.

 When the marriage was over, agus a chaidh og chur air 
 leahadh, and all the household Avere asleep, some one entered the 
 bedroom of the Avedded pair, and placed his hands upon them 
 both. The Brieve awoke, and demanded in a loud voice, "Who 
 is this, and what do you want?" when the person, whoever it was, 
 left the room Avithout saying a word. But the bride began to cry, 
 for she knew it Avas her handsome yomig loA'er, for Avhose sake she 
 had at first refused the BrieA^e. Next day the ncAvly married pair 
 sailed for LeAvis ; a daughter Avas born to them before the BricA'e 
 made his voyage to Ullapool again, where, after taking in a cargo 
 of Avood, himself and crcAA^ slept in the boat, Avaiting the return 
 of the tide. But during the niffht a bloAv Avith a club killed the 
 BrieA'e as he lay asleep, and the foul assassin escaped unseen. 
 Before the LcAvis men left on the morning, a faii--haired, hand- 
 some young man came to the boat, and seemed much distressed 
 Avhen he Avas told of what had happened. When they Avere about 
 to leave, he said he had long been anxious to visit LeAvis, and if 
 they Avoitld give him a passage, and bad Aveather came on, that he 
 Avould show himself to be as good a hand at the helm as tlieii- 
 deceased master. Pie embarked Avith them, and took the hehn all 
 the Avay till they arriA'ed at Ness. 
 
 As soon as they landed, the stranger asked a boy to show him 
 the way to T'igh mor Thabost, i. e. the Big House of Ilabost. 
 The boatmen Avere astonished, and asked him hoAV he came to 
 knoAv about the Hall of Plabost. "I knoAV something,''' said he, 
 "about Habost." The stranger Avent to the house, and the 
 BrieA^e's Avife Avelcomed her former lover. She asked him about 
 her husband. "He is coming," was the ansAver. Presently the 
 creAV came up from the boat, and told her all that had happened, 
 and that her husband had been murdered. The lady did not seem 
 to take it much to heart, for her husband Avas hardly buried before 
 she AA^as again married, and to her first loA'er. 
 
 Allan, the eldest of the Brieve's children, having arriA^ed to 
 sixteen years of age, claimed his father's SAVord and the right to 
 use it. For such pretension his stei^father sought to kill him; but 
 Allan fled to his mother's friends in Ireland. In the course of a 
 feAA" years they came back Avith him to assist him to get a share 
 of his father's property. It Avas Christmas Ea'c Avhen they landed 
 at Ness, and as they came near the house they heard the sound of 
 music, by Avhich they knew that the inmates were enjoying a feast 
 and making merry Avith their friends. Allan, embittered by the 
 remembrance of the injuries he had suffered at their hands, Avas 
 with difliculty restrained from rushing in and dealing Avdth them 
 in the midst of their merriment. But his uncles reasoned Avith 
 him on the barbarity and coAvardliness of so doing, and told him 
 they would shed no blood Avithout warning them of their danger, 
 so that they might prepare for defence. 
 
 Allan Avent into the kitchen and there saAv his father's bard, 
 neglected and des])ised, lying upon straAv upon the floor. The 
 bard, on seeing his master's son, swooned with joy; the sight

 recalled to him tlie days when lau Coir* Britlieamli was his pa- 
 tron, when on Christmas he used to be, not in the kitchen, but in 
 the hall, and there the life and soul of the company. When the 
 bard recovered his senses, Allan urgxnl him to go to the hall door 
 and charge him with the murder of his patron, and not to fear, as 
 Allan's party would be quite near to render assistance. 
 
 When the new liard saw the old bard at the door, he addressed 
 him as follows: — 
 
 Failt' ort fein a bhaird Eoin, 
 Sluiidh'rianili an tiuh an ol ghann ; 
 Dh' fluiadaicli thu"am Eritheamh gu chladh, 
 Am belli o"n tigidh an Lagh cam.

 Upon which the lady clapped her sides with delight. The old 
 bard, finding his Avorthy master and himself insulted in this 
 manner, denounced his mistress in tlie following reply : — 
 
 A bhean bhaoth, 's a bhean bhaoth, 
 Teann a nrill ach ci do bhreith 
 Fuatli do'u fhear do'n rug thu clann

 Oh wicked woman, oh wicked woman, 
 Draw nigh that we may know your opinion, 
 Hatred to him to whom you bore children, 
 And love to the man that beheaded him. 
 
 The party, quickly understanding the reason of the old bard's 
 boldness, fled from the house and escaped to the mainland. Allan 
 Morrison regained his heritage, and became Brieve of Lewis. t 
 
 No corroboration has been found of this obscure tale. The 
 events belong to a period anterior to the sixteenth century. That 
 the widow of a brieve married the murderer of her husband is 
 supported by the tradition that John Macleod of Sandey did so. 
 Of course, there is no truth as concerning him, and the event 
 may have been borrowed from a tragedy that was enacted on an 
 island in Loch Stack, Edderaehyllis. Sir Hugh Macky of Far 
 fell desperately in love with a beautiful womaii, wdio resisted his 
 addresses on the score that she had a husband. The miscreant 
 detained the wife upon the island, caused her husband to be mur- 
 dered, had the corpse decapitated, and produced his head to the 
 wife. The widow offered no more opposition, as she feared a like 
 fate for herself. $

 ALLAN MOU MORRISON, JUDGE OF LEWIS. 
 
 Many a wild and impossible story has been invented from the 
 shadowy remembrance of the tragedies of the seventeenth cen- 
 tury, of which the following is an instance: — 
 
 Neil Macleod, called in the legend Odhar, i. e. dun, the uncle 
 of Torquil Dubh Chief of Lewis, attacked the Morrisons on the 
 Habost moor, but was defeated. Xeil sent to Harris for assist- 
 ance, and came again to Habost ; but the Morrisons had taken 
 shelter in Dun Eystein. The Macleods arrived at lught and 
 marched to Dun Eystein, Avhen one of the Morrisons, unaware of 
 the presence of an enemy, came out of the hut. An Uig man 
 shot an arrow — Baobh an Dovlaich^ literally, the T'ury of the 
 Quiver, the last arrow of the eighteen that should be used — at 
 him, and he was struck by the arrow, which passed through his 
 body. The wounded Morrison cried f(u- helj^; the rest came oixt, 
 and Allan, the eldest, and by far the bravest, of them sprang 
 across the ravine which separated Dim Eystein from the adjacent 
 cliff, and loudly demanded that the assassin should be given u]i 
 to him. The Macleods denied all knowledge of the deed ; but 
 Allan reproached them with cowardice, and said, "If you have 
 come to fight, you ought, according to the laws of war from the 
 creation of the world, to have waited till there was light enough 
 to see each other." He then asked Neil for his Leigh, i. e. Doctor, 
 to attend the wounded man. Neil, after some hesitation, con- 
 sented ; Allan took the Leigh under his arm and leaped back 
 across the ravine with him into the dun. The wounded man died, 
 however. The Morrisons fled from Dun Eystein to the mainland, 
 whither Neil pursued ; but the Morrisons had seen Neil crossing 
 the Minch, and, slipping out from among the islands, tried to get 
 back to Lewis. The Macleods ascended a hill, espied the brieve's 
 birlin, and gave chase. There were only Allan Morrison and his 
 two brothers in the boat ; so Allan Mor, who was very strong, set 
 his two brothers to row against himself, and composed and sung 
 this iorram or boat song, with which the Ness fishermen still 
 lighten their toil. 
 
 The chorus, '■^JVaUibh i 's na-ho-ro,^'' is repeated after every 
 line: — 
 
 lomair a Choinnaich fhir rao chriclhe; 
 lomair i gu laidair rigiiinii; 
 Gaol uam ban og's graclh nighean. 
 
 Dh' iomrain fein fear mu dhitliis,

 Row, Kenneth, man of my heart ; 
 
 Row with vehement might ; 
 
 The darling of damsels, and the beloved of girls. 
 
 I myself could row against two ; 
 And may be against three. 
 There is great fear on my heart 
 That it is Neil's barge that is coming, 
 Or the boat of the son of dun Thormod. 
 
 It is a pity that I and dun Neil were not 
 
 In a small hollow above Dun Oo-ail ; 
 
 A dirk in myiiand, and lie beneath. 
 
 I would be sure it should go deep, 
 
 And that the blood of his breast should Slow down his reins. 
 
 Neil overtook the Morrisons a short time after they had pa8se<i 
 Dun Othail (pro. Dan Oo-ail), where they fought desperately. 
 Neil attacked them on one side, and the Harris men, in a second 
 boat, on the other. Allan engaged Neil's party and killed nearly 
 all his men, when Neil exclaimed, "My men, something mitst be 
 done, or the monster {Mast) will not leave a head on the shoul- 
 ders of any one of us." They fastened a sword to the end of an 
 oar, therewith to stab Allan, who, when he sa^v it coming, made 
 such a desperate blow as to cut the oar in two, but striking into 
 the gunnel of the boat his sword stuck fast, and before he could 
 extricate it the Macleods closed round him, and both himself and 
 his two brothers were killed. They were buried in a small hollow 
 a little above Dun Othail.* 
 
 In this story we have the distinctly ScandinaA^an notion that 
 it was wrong to slay after dark. Among the Northmen, and no 
 doubt among all other peoj^les in the same barbarous stage, the 
 mere killing of a man was of little importance, — in Burnt Njal, 
 the atonement for a foul assassination w- as only twelve ounces of 
 silver, — btit it was murder if the killing -was done at night; ndttr- 
 vigr/ em moro-vig, "Is it not called murder to kill j^eople at 
 night?" So, too, Sweyn, Earl Hakon's son, objects to captives 
 being killed, because "it was night." (Burnt Njal, vol. ii, p. 36.) 
 
 With regard to the Leigh (La'knir, Icel.), Leech or Surgeon, it 
 might be supposed that the bard had imported a foreign idea into 
 his tale. Though I have found no record, yet it may be inferred 
 that a chief would be attended by his hereditaiy doctor in time 
 of war. But there is no reason why the Macleods and Morrisons 
 should have ever been in want of a doctor ; for so late as 1793 
 the natives of Edderachyllis were nearly all of the names of 
 Macleay, Morrison, and Macleod. These Macleays were the 
 descendants of " Ferchard Leche," i. e. Ferchard Beathadh, Bea/- 
 ton or Bethune, a native of Islay, and who was physician to King 
 Robert II. In 1379 "Ferchard, the king's physician," had a grant 
 of the lands of Mellenes and two parts of Hope, in Sutherland

 ("Or.Pr.,"vol. ii, part 2, p. 704); and in 1386 "Ferchard Leche" 
 has a gift of all the islands near the coast between the Stour in 
 Assynt and Armadale, Sutherland. (lb., p. 695.) The Clan Beaton 
 or MacBeathadh were a medical clan, and there are notices of 
 them in Islay, Mull, South Uist, and Far in Sutherland. One of 
 them, the "famous Doctor Beaton," of Mull, had the dubious 
 fortune of being blown up when on board the Spanish ship Flor- 
 ida, in Tobermory, but escaped unhurt. (Martin's "West. Isles," 
 p. 254.) 
 
 DUN OTHAIL, NORTH TOLSTA. 
 
 It was a cold and snowy day when, under the guidance of the 
 shepherd, by wading through overflowing brooks and wet heather, 
 I reached the cliff above Dun Othail, which rose before me deso- 
 late and grand "through storm and reek," and at any time is one 
 of the most picturesque objects in Lewis. 
 
 Dun Othail is a natural fortress, being an irregular peaked rock, 
 u]ton the sea coast, nearly two hundred feet high, and disjoined from 
 the main by a perpendicular ravine, which, however, does not 
 reach to the water. The sides of the ravine appear to have been 
 the walls of a trap-dyke, which has been denuded. The dun is 
 only accessible from the land on the southeast side, and there it 
 is defended by a wall. I was unable, through fatigue, to proceed 
 beyond this, but the Rev. M. Macphail informs me that, although 
 there is no defensive masonry upon the rock, it is so diflicult of 
 access that the jiath which leads upwards could be defended by a 
 single individual. 
 
 An oblong ruin upon its extreme point is supposed by Mr. T. 
 S. Muir to have been a chapel.* 
 
 Dun Othail is famous in Lewis legends ; the ubiquitous Coin- 
 neach Odhair (Kennetli Oear) has prophesied that there will be 
 great destruction of the Lewis jieople by sword ; but — 
 
 Anihaiun Lacsdail fo tliuatli,

 ALLAN MORRISON AND THE DEMON. 
 
 Macleod of Lewis possessed Assynt and Cogach (but not Strath 
 Connon, only his son was married there) ; and when he was

52 TRADITIONS OF THE MORRISONS. 
 
 passing some time in those countries, lie left the sole management 
 of Lewis to Judge Morrison of Ness. Donald Cam and Neil 
 Macleod being dead, the sons of the Judge ruled the country 
 most tyrannically. 
 
 Allan Morrison, the Judge's eldest son, was intimate with a 
 demon. This coming to the ears of Macleod of Lewis, Allan was 
 sent for by him, and was asked if it was true ; Allan confessed it 
 was. Macleod then said, "The next time you meet the demon^ 
 ask whether I shall die a natural death or not." Allan returned 
 in a few days, and said that the demon foretold that the present 
 Laird of the Lewis would be killed by a Macleod then living. 
 But the wicked Allan Morrison feigned this story, for the demon 
 had said that either Allan or his father would be killed by the 
 hands of a John Macleod. 
 
 In consequence of this information, Macleod of Lewis left the 
 country for liis other estates, for lie did not consider himself safe 
 while a single John Macleod was left alive in Lewis ; and Judge 
 Morrison obtained his sanction to bring all the Macleods in the 
 country before his court as suspected persons. 
 
 Judge Morrison now began the trial of the suspected Macleods. 
 He killed sixteen of the Macleods of the name of John, for it was 
 by a John Macleod that Judge Morrison was to lose his life. 
 But after he liad disposed of all the John Macleods in this manner,, 
 the demon or spirit told him that it was by John Macleod of 
 Harris, that he or his son was to be killed. 
 
 The Judge had then recourse to conspiracy, and engaged six- 
 teen stout and able men to swear to support him in his bloody 
 plot. He sent one of his men with a letter to the Laird of 
 Harris, saying, that as the Judge had now the sole management 
 of Lewis, he sent him his respects, and requested Macleod to meet 
 him on a certain day to sport and hunt deer in the hills of Lewis. 
 John Macleod of Harris had been by this time forewarned of 
 Judge Morrison's plot, so he answered, that having been lately 
 sporting in the Lewis hills, he would rather that the Judge should 
 come to sport with him in Harris. 
 
 The Judge and his sixteen warriors arrived at Rowdle, and 
 were hospitably entertained by Macleod for the greater part of 
 the night. But Avliile the Judge was enjoying himself, quite 
 happy in the thought that he would take Macleod's life upon the 
 liills on the next da}^, Macleod gathered his chief men about the 
 house; suddenly a strong body of swordsmen entered the hall, 
 and bound Judge Morrison and his sixteen Avarriors. The Laird 
 of Harris now ]troduced the letter which a friend in Lewis had 
 written, telling about the conspiracy. Macleod offered pardon to 
 the sixteen men, who had been forced to join the })lot, provided 
 they would return peaceably to Lewis, which they joyfully 
 accepted. The Judge Avas put to death at Rowdle ; and thus 
 the prediction Avas fulfilled in spite of the shifts made to aA^ert it 
 by the bloody massacre of the Macleods in Lewis.* 
 
 * Morrison's " Traditions of Lewis." 
 
HEREDITARY JUDGES OF LEWIS. 53 
 
 This myth has been elaborated, from the facts that John Mac- 
 leod of "Sanda killed Ian Breitheamh, i. e. John the Judge, 
 defeated Malcohn Mor, his son, and carried him to Stornoway, 
 where he Avas beheaded. 
 
 THE WICKED INCENDIARY. 
 
 Macleod of Lewis, having found out that he had been imposed 
 upon by Allan Morrison, returned to Stornoway Castle. He 
 settled Torquil, his son, at Strath Chonen ; his youngest son was 
 sent to Cain Morrison's house at Ness ; and a son of Cain Morri- 
 son was fostered by Macleod at Stornoway, thus showing the 
 friendship and good understanding between the families. 
 
 When mattcTS had continued in this way for some time, a 
 Mdcked man who used to be going back and fore between Ness 
 and Stornoway, came one day into Macleod's castle and said that 
 Cain Morrison had, in a violent passion, killed Macleod's child, 
 Macleod unfortunately believed it to be true, and in his anger 
 killed the son of Cain Morrison. The wicked incendiary then 
 flies off to Ness, and tells that he saw Macleod kill the young- 
 Morrison. Cain, on hearing of the murder, could not conceive 
 any reason for it, and though the young Macleod was much loved 
 by all the family, he Avas not spared. 
 
 Thus the peace of those families was broken by this wicked 
 incendiary. It is told that when Judge Morrison, with the laird's 
 concurrence, executed all the .John Macleods in Lewis, some of 
 the relations of this wicked man suffered with them, and this was 
 the way he took to revenge the death of his friends ; and it was 
 through him that the Macleods of Lewis became extinct. Instead 
 of peace between the Macleods and Morrisons, there was now 
 nothing but murder and bloodshed. Cain Morrison was at last 
 obliged to flee to the mainland, where he was killed by a cottar 
 in an island by Loch Broom, since then called "Judge's Island." 
 
 Allan More Morrison then took his father's place at Ness, and 
 fighting went on between the two clans whereby both suffered 
 severely in their property and friends.* 
 
 The circumstance which gave name to Eilean cC Britheimh^ or 
 Judge's Island, has been described above. The custom of sending 
 a child to be fostered in a family which had been at deadly feud 
 with the parents of the child, although intended to strengthen 
 in the strongest manner the truce between the families, often led 
 to his destnxction. We shall have another instance of fosterage 
 in the murderer's family in the traditions of the Lewis Macaulays. 
 
 In an edition of the Letterfearn MS. History of the Macken- 
 zies, copied into Morrison's " Traditions of Lewis," after stating 
 that the brieve was hated for his treachery to Torquil Du, there 
 occurs, " as also killing a son of M'Leod's [Torquil Du's] when a 
 child nursing in his own house." This sentence is not in Gregory's 
 copy of the Letterfearn MS., but it is the only corroboration I 
 can find of the preceding legend.

54 TllADITIONS OF THE MORRISONS. 
 
 HOW THE MORRISONS GOT RONA. 
 
 The possession of the island of Rona was a subject of dispute 
 between the Morrisons and the people of Sutherland. The main- 
 land people claimed it, because, as they asserted, the island lay 
 nearer to Sutherland than to Ness. At last it was agreed that 
 the contending parties should race for it, and that the island 
 should belong to those who first lit a fire there. On the day of 
 trial tlie mainlanders seemed likely to be the first to i-each to, 
 and make a fire ui)on the island; but a Morrison shot a. burning 
 arrow from his boat and set the grass on fire, and Rona has 
 belonged to Lewis ever since.* 
 
 One of the customs of the Northmen, by which they took pos- 
 session of, or as they called it, hallowed, land to themselves, was 
 by raising a fire upon it. It seems to have been sufficient to have 
 lit a fire at the mouth of a river to constitute a claim to all the 
 land through which that river flowed. Bvit what more imme- 
 diately bears upon the preceding legend is told in the settlement 
 of Iceland: "A man, who was called Onund the Fore-knowing 
 (viss), took up land from Merkigil and all tlie valley eastAvard of 
 it; and when Erik [an adjacent landnam-man] thought of taking 
 the west end of the valley, Onund fell to divination (felldi 
 blotspan) to make him prescient (viss) of the time when Erik 
 intended to come to take the -valley ; but then Onund was the 
 quicker [of the two], and shot a burning arrow {tund-or, tinder- 
 arrow) over the river, and so ap])ropriated or hallowed ihelgadi) 
 to himself all the land westward, and [lie] dwelt by the i-iver." 
 (Land., p. 193 ; Cleasby's Die, p. 254.) 
 
 With these legends we close the "Traditions of the Morrisons." 
 Although the authorities have been carefully consulted, it is prob- 
 able that a native of Lewis could have greatly extended them, 
 and perhaps have found something to repress ; but a comparative 
 stranger has the advantage of l)eing able to tell the Avhole truth, — 
 a liberty seldom enjoyed by a family historian. 
 
 Here ends the narrative of Captain Thomas. 
 
 * Rev. M. Macphail's " Traditions of Ness." In Morrison's "Traditions 
 of Lewis" it is Macleod of Harris and Macdonald of Slait who race for 
 St. Kilda. Two boats were to be built of equal size, they were then to 
 cast lots for them, and whoever got first " and kinded a fire thei'eiu," was 
 to possess the island. " In this way Macleod of Harris became proprietor 
 of St. Kilda originallj'."

 HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF THE HEREDITARY 
 JUDGE OF LEWIS, SCOTLAND. 
 
 BV THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK, L. A. MORKISON. 
 
 The history of the family of the Hereditary Judges is not 
 closed with the death, nearly three centuries ago, at Inverkar- 
 kaig, of Judge Jolin Morison, the last Brieve of Lewis, and the 
 loss of the chieftainship ; nor is it closed with the completion of 
 the interesting and valuable pamphlet of Captain Thomas. I 
 take up the work Avhere he laid it down, and give a history of 
 the descendants of the Judge to 1880. 
 
 The record of this remarkable family is one of thrilling interest, 
 and an air of romance still lingers about the descendants of the 
 Brieve of Lewis. In various walks of life, in peaceful seen es, 
 in foreign climes, they are as celebrated as were their ancestors in 
 the feuds and bloody dramas of the past. In Lewis, the Father- 
 land, in Canada, Australia, and the United States, their record 
 can be traced. In the iield of discovery, in politics, in the con- 
 flicts of arms, in business and mercantile life, their history is one 
 of progress, and their record is one of honor. 
 
 HISTORY OF THE FAMILY AFTER THE DEATH OF JUDGE 
 
 MOKISON. 
 
 " Towards the end of the seventeenth century, the whole of 
 Lewis formed but two parishes, Barvas and Ey (Stornoway). 
 The minister of Barvas was Rev. Donald Morrison, who 
 must have been born about 1620 ; he was a grandson of the 
 Judge. When Rev. Donald Morrison was minister of Baiwas, 
 his brother. Rev. Kkxxeth Morisox, was minister of Storno- 
 way. He also conforme(l to the Presbyterian church. He Avas a 
 highly gifted man, and well suited to repress the tiirmoils which 
 then existed in Lewis between the Papists and Protestants, for 
 he used to walk from his manse at Tong to the church at Storno- 
 way with his drawn sword at his side ; and when preaching he 
 had tAvo men standing with drawn swords at the door of the 
 church."*

 1. Rev. Kenneth Morison was probably a son of Kenneth 
 Morison, who was son of Judge John Morison- the Brieve, who

 Scotland. He was grandson of the last Judge Morison, Brieve 
 of Lewis. He was born about 1640, and his child, 
 
 2. Allan'-, born about 1675 ; he was a clergyman ; but little is 
 known of his history. He left one child,

 the first Donald died before the birth of the second Donald ; 
 though occasionally two persons of the same christian name are 
 found in one family. In that case, pseudonjins were given to 
 distinguish them.

 and strength. By common consent he was at the head of the

 Indian depredations. Altliough a Scotcliman, and an English 
 subject, he was friendly to the United States. He refused to 
 enter the Hudson Bay Fur Company when the two companies 
 were merged in one, and returned to Canada. He was judge 
 of the county court of Berthier from 1820 to 1829, when he

47] FIFTH GENERATION. — WILLIAM MORRISON. 59 
 
 47. AVilliam^ [-21] (A\\an\ Alexander^ Allan', Kennell)i). 
 William Morrison, the discoverer of the sources of the Mississippi 
 River, Avas born in Montreal, Can., in 1785. The following sketch 
 of him -we take from Vol. YI, 186G, page 628, of the "American 
 (Annual) Cyclopedia," published by D. Appleton & Co. : — 
 
 " William Morrison, a Canadian fur-trader, interpreter, and ex- 
 plorer ; born in Montreal, C. E., in 1785 ; died on Morrison's Island, 
 Aug. 7, 1866. In 1802 he commenced his apprenticeship with the 
 Northwestern Fur Company at Fond du Lac, and was soon after 
 admitted as a partner. During the years 1803-15, he explored the 
 entire region of the Xorthwest, and wintered at many important 
 geographical points. In 1816, he took charge of John J. Astor's 
 business, and remained with him until 1826, when he retired, and 
 went to Canada. He has since lived at Berthier. By an Indian 
 wife he had two sons. Mr. Morrison's life has been an eventful 
 one ; but that which most of all will immortalize his name, is the 
 fact of his being the first white man who discovered the sources 
 of the Mississippi Eiver. This honor has generally been awarded 
 to Mr. Schoolcraft, but the justness of Mr. Morrison's claim is 
 without doubt." 
 
 From the " Chicago Times," Saturday, Aug. 26, 1866, I extract 
 the following, taken from the " Montreal Telegraph " : — 
 
 " The name of William Morrison is identical with the rise and 
 progress of the fur trade in Minnesota. . . . He was ever 
 popular among the Indian tribes, and among them his influence 
 was very great. The following incident will bear evidence to 
 this, and may add another scrap to the romantic history of the 
 Northwest. 
 
 "Mr. Morrison was living at Sandy Lake at the time when the 
 great chief, called 'The Prophet' (brother to Tecumseh, who, unlike 
 his brother chief, was ever loyal to the British government), sent 
 out his mandates to all the West to muster the tribes to a general 
 massacre of the w^hites. The message was sent secretly by runners 
 with accompanying tobacco. If the terms were acceded to, the 
 tobacco was cut and smoked. Thus the Indians throughout the 
 country became apprised of the prophet's order without the 
 knowledge of the Avhites. But a sudden change was observed 
 in the conduct of the Indians. Never before were signs so 
 ominous of evil, and matters daily assumed a more gloomy 
 aspect. It was evident that some prompt action must be taken to 
 avert the impending evil, and INIr. Morrison was elected as the 
 only one able to break up the plot. Cheerfully he accepted the 
 dangerous mission, and accordingly started off to visit the assem- 
 bled tribes. He took with him two men, paddled slowly down 
 the river, and passed the Indians' cam]). Some children playing 
 on the bank first discovered him, and reported that 'Little 
 Englishman ' (as he was called) was coming down the river. 
 All ran out to meet him. They woidd speak to him, if to none 
 other. Anxious to learn if the whites Avere still ignorant of the 
 plot, they asked if he had any news. ' Oh, nothing ! ' he replied 
 
60 DESCENDANTS OF THE HEREDITARY JUDGE. [47 
 
 carelessly, fully understanding tlie Indian character; 'what's 
 the news with you ? ' ' Nothing,' said they ; and he began to 
 slowly paddle his canoe. Then he paused suddenly. ' Oli, yes,' 
 said he, ' I do remember something. The great medicine-man, 
 tlie prophet, lias been killed by the Long Knives.' Then he pro- 
 ceeded slowly down the river, as though nothing had happened. 
 He did not know this to be true, though it afterwards proved so 
 by a remarkable coincidence. However, the Indians fully be- 
 lieved him. Not an hour after his return to the fort, the Indians 
 began to flock in by hundreds, and seemed anxious to become 
 friends. The paint was removed from their faces, and they 
 manifested their usual cordiality. They had no wish to make 
 war on the whites, but felt bound to obey the order of the great 
 medicine-man. 
 
 " Eventful as his life has been, that which will most of all 
 immortalize his name is the fact of his being the first white 
 who discovered the sources of the Mississippi River. This honor 
 has generally been awarded to Schoolcraft ; but there are living 
 (or were very recently) witnesses of the justness of Mr. Morrison's 
 claim. Tlie following copy of a letter which tlie late Mr. Morrison 
 addressed to the Historical Society of Minnesota, so clearly sets 
 forth his claim as to leave no doubt of his title to the lasting 
 lionor of his great discovery, viz. : — 
 
 " ' I left Old Grand Portage in 1802, and landed at Leech Lake in 
 September. In October, I Avent and wintered on one of the Crow 
 Wing streams, near its source. Our Indians were Pillagoes. In 
 1803-4, I wintered at Kice Lake. I passed by Red Cedar Lake 
 (now Cass Lake), and followed up the Mississippi to Cross Lake. 
 Then followed the Mississippi up to near Elk Lake (now Itasca), 
 the source of the great Mississippi, the portage we made to get 
 to Rice Lake, that empties itself into the Red River, which I 
 visited in 1804 ; and if the late General Pike did not lay it down 
 as such when he came to Leech Lake, it is because he did not 
 happen to meet me. I was at an outpost that winter. The late 
 General Pike laid down on his map Cass Lake as the head of the 
 Mississippi River. I did not trace any vestige of white men 
 before to Itasca Lake. In 1811-12, I again went the same route, 
 and down the Rice River to the plains. Then I overtook a gen- 
 tleman with an outfit from Mackinac, M. Olepe, with whom I 
 parted at Fond du Lac. He took the south towards Mackinac, 
 and I took the north to head-quarters, which had been changed 
 to Fort William from Old Grand Portage. This, I expect, will 
 explain that I visited in 1804, and in 1811-12, Itasca and five 
 small streams that empty into that lake. 
 
 " 'By way of explanation Avhy the late General Pike, in 1805, 
 who had orders to trace the Mississippi to its source, failed to do 
 so, I must say he Avas stopped a little below Swan River (what is 
 now called Pike's Rapids, or Block House), by the foe, and had to 
 ]iroceed on foot to Leech Lake. He had to learn there where the 
 source of the Mississippi was. He went to Cass Lake, and could 
 
60] 
 
 FIFTH GENEKATION. ALLAN MUKKISON. 61 
 
 proceed no farther. He had been told that I knew the source, 
 but could not see me, being out on an outpost. This want of 
 information made him commit the error. Some person, not 
 knowing better, told him there was no river above Cass Lake. 
 Cass Lake receives the waters of Cross Lake, and Cross Lake 
 receives that of Itasca* Lake. There are live small streams that 
 empty into Itasca Lake. They are short, and will soon lose 
 themselves in swamps. Rice River is a short portage, and is 
 called the heights of land, which is the dividing ridge between 
 the Mississippi and the waters that empty into Red River and 
 Hudson's Bay, No white man can claim the discovery of the 
 Mississippi before me, for I was the first who saw the source. 
 Yours, etc., William Morrison.' 
 
 "It is manifest from this that neither Schoolcraft nor Nicollet 
 was the first discoverer of the Mississippi. Mr. Morrison did 
 much to develop the vast resources of the far west." 
 
 In i-eligion, he was an Episcopalian. He was baptized by a 
 clergyman of the Church of England, and remained a steadfast 
 member of that church till his death. He was buried at Sorel, 
 Can.

 Morrison, of St. Joseph, Mich., projector and builder of the 
 Chicago and jNIichigan Lake Shore Raih-oad, and its vice-presi- 
 dent and general manager, was born in Quebec, Can., P^eb. 22, 
 1822. At the age of fifteen he was engaged as clerk for B. W. 
 Smith, now sheriff of Simcoe, Ont., and with him came west in 
 1838, arriving in Chicago in October of that year, when Chicago 
 contained less than four thousand inhabitants. Here he entered 
 the employ of David Ballentine, then a contractor on the Illinois 
 and Michigan canal, remaining with him as clerk until he engaged 
 in active business on his own account at the age of nineteen. In 
 1847-48-40, Mr. Morrison was engaged as a contractor on public 
 works in Illinois and Iowa. In 1850 he came to St. Joseph, Mich., 
 where he has since resided, being connected in extensive business 
 as a merchant and lumberman until he engaged in the railroad 
 enterprise which now occujiies his attention. The Chicago and 
 Michigan Lake Shore Railroad, of which Mr. Morrison is the 
 projector, builder, and manager, extends from New Buffalo, on 
 the Michigan Central Railroad, to Pentwater, which is the main 
 line, a distance of 170 miles, with a branch of 25 miles from Hol- 
 land to Grand Rapids ; and another branch of 55 miles from 
 Muskegon to Big Rapids, making in all 250 miles of road. Con- 
 sidering the difficulties encountered in consequence of the decision 
 of the supreme court of Michigan, declaring void all municipal 
 aid voted to help construct railways, together with the fact that 
 the road was built through a new country, sparsely populated, 
 which would hot have been undertaken without the encourage- 
 ment the law of 18G9 ]>roposed, tlie success of the enterprise, in 
 both its completion and management, entitles the projector and 
 builder to an amount of praise foi* commercial sagacity, foresiglit, 
 and economy in all the details of construction and management 
 seldom awarded to men of these times, and which to him in after 
 years will be a source of consolation and pride. Mr. Morrison, 
 while engaged in extensive business, has at the same time given 
 some attention to politics, and has been the recipient of political 
 lionors, having seen much of public life for a man of his years, 
 now only fifty-tAvo. In 1851 he was chairman of the board of 
 supervisors of Berrien County. In 1852 he was a candidate for 
 presidential elector on the Whig ticket. In 1856 he Avas elected 
 to the senate of this State, and was on the staff of Governor 
 Bingham. In 1858 he was appointed on the staff of Governor 
 Wisner. In 1860 he Avas elected to the house of representatives, 
 and Avas chairman of the committee on State affairs for three 
 sessions, and during the time Avas one of the special joint com- 
 mittee on war matters, of Avhich Hon. James F. Joy and Hon.

64 DESCENDANTS OF THE HEREDITARY JUDGE. [74 
 
 Morrison was appointed by President Lincoln collector of internal 
 revenue for the second district of Michigan, composed then of 
 the counties of Allegan, Berrien, Van Buren, Kalamazoo, Branch, 
 Cass, and St. Jose])h, and was appointed by President Johnson 
 assessor of the same district in 1867, which office he held until 
 June 30, 1869, when he resigned to enter upon the railroad 
 project of which mention is made above. Mr. Morrison belongs 
 to one of the pioneer families of the Western country, who were 
 Indian traders in the Lake Superior region in the latter part of 
 the last century and the first ])art of this. His father was a 
 member of the old Northwestern Fur Company, and one of the 
 few partners in that company that refused to surrender to, and 
 successfully resisted. Lord Selkirk in his war made upon it in the 
 interest of the Hudson Bay Company, immediately after the late 
 war with Great Britain. His guardian in his boyhood, and under 
 whose care he was educated, was his friend and relative, the late 
 William Morrison, the discoverer of the sources of the Mississippi 
 River, from whom he obtained a knowledge of ])ioneer life in the 
 beginning of the century, by hearing him relate adventures that 
 to the young have an irresistible charm. Mr. Morrison ascribed 
 his late success mainly to his business connection Avith the Hon. 
 James F. Joy, the railroad magnate of the Northwest, to whom 
 he awards almost the entire praise. Be this as it may, the people 
 of Michigan will always remember the subject of tliis sketch as 
 one of her distinguished characters; and the people of the county 
 of Berrien and town of St. Joseph as its most prominent, widely 
 known, and ambitious man, who for nearly twenty-five years has 
 maintained a spotless business rei)utation, and still enjoys the 
 unlimited confidence of his neighbors." 
 
 In the Michigan volume of "American Biographical History of 
 Eminent and Self-made Men," wath portrait illustrations on steel, 
 published in Cincinnati, O., in 1878, an eulogistic history of Mr. 
 Morrison's career is to be found ; and in addition to what is pub- 
 lished in Tuttle's History of Michigan, mention is made that A. 
 H. Morrison and C. G. Wickes of Chicago were the joint owners 
 and operators of the Dakota and Sioux City and Pembina Rail- 
 roads ; that Mr. Morrison had been a member of the Republican 
 State Central Committee for six years; was connected with the 
 Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities, having been Master of 
 Occidental Lodge, F. & A. M., and the first Noble Grand of 
 Burnett Lodge, I. O, O. F., of St. Joseph, Mich. In religion, 
 Mr. Morrison is put down as a "Liberal"; and that during a 
 business career of thirty years, he had been, with three exceptions, 
 unknown to the courts as suitor, juryman, or witness. Mr. Mor- 
 rison was married in Elkhart Co., Ind., Jan. 17, 1848, to Julia- 
 Ann Reynolds, of Buffalo, N. Y., who was born there Jan. 21, 
 1832. 
 
 The same history gives the following account of his maternal 
 ancestry: His mother was a descendant of Col. John Jessup, 
 who, for his fidelity to Charles I, was rewarded by Charles II

 with a. large tract of land on the Hudson River in the State of 
 New York. This tract, known as Jessup's tract, became historic 
 through its confiscation by the State of New York immiediately 
 after the revolutionary war (1776). 
 
 In 1878, Mr. Morrison erected a very extensive Avooden-ware 
 manufactory at St. Joseph, Mich., and in 1879 erected a large 
 paper-pail establishment, giving to the business his personal 
 attention, with the aid of his only son Donald Morrison, a young 
 man of eighteen years. These works combined make one of the 
 largest manufactories of the kind in the United States. A good 
 illustration of these works is here given. 
 
 In 1880 he was elected a member of the National Republican 
 Convention, to nominate candidates for President and Vice- 
 President of the United States. He was strongly urged as a 
 candidate of the Rej^ublican party for governor of Michigan, in 
 1880, but declined the use of his name.

 OF Manchester, Hudson, and Salem, N. H. — Plan of the Orig-

 'God sifted a whole nation, that He might send clioice grain into the wilderness." 
 
 It will be im])0ssible to speak of the emigration of the Mori- 
 sons to these bleak, and at that time inhospitable, shores, without 
 speaking of the causes which induced, nay, compelled, the emi- 
 gration. These causes are clearly connected with the political 
 and religious history of the times in which they lived. 
 
 The "oft-repeated tale" will be told again. The Morisons 
 were Scotch. During the reign of King James I of England, a 
 large portion of the six northern counties of Ireland fell to the 
 king, being the sequestered estates of the Irish rebels. To hold 
 in check the wild and turbulent spirits of his Irish subjects, he 
 induced an emigration of his Scotch countrymen to the province 
 of Ulster in Ireland. This was in the year 1612. In 1613, the 
 first Presbyterian church ever established in Ireland, was founded 
 at Ballycorry, county of Antrim.* 
 
 The emigrants were rigid Presbyterians. A bitter feud existed 
 between the Catholic Irish, whose estates had been confiscated, 
 and the Scotch Presbyterians who occupied them. 
 
 In 1641 there was a massacre of the Protestants, and over 
 forty thousand of them perished. A change soon occurred in the 
 government ; royalty fell ; the protectorate was established ; and 
 a man was placed at the helm of state who was both able and 
 willing to protect the Protestants from their bigoted enemies. 
 In 1649 the strong arm of Cromw^ell bore an avenging sword, 
 punished the Catholics, and brought peace to the country. 
 
 On the accession, in 1660, of Charles II to the throne of Eng- 
 land, he appointed his brother James (afterward James II) viceroy 
 of Scotland. James was a bigoted Catholic, and the Scotch 
 Presbyterians w^ere the legitimate objects of his hate. The fires 
 of persecution were rekindled ; the sword was again unsheathed, 
 and bathed in the blood of "thousands of slaughtered saints." 
 
 * N. E. Gen'l Register, vol. xii, p. 23L 
 
68 INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY 
 
 In consequence of this persecution, large numbers fled to Ireland, 
 and joined their Protestant countrymen there. Among these 
 emigrants were many of the immediate ancestors of the emigrants 
 to Londonderry, N. H., in 1719. There is little reason to doubt 
 that the first Morison settlers of Londonderry, N. H., were sons 
 of those emigrants ; and that one at least, John Morison, who died 
 in 1736, Avas Scottish born. 
 
 In speaking of the causes of the emigration and settlement of 
 Londonderry, N. H., the Hon. Charles H. Bell, of Exeter, N. H., 
 in his address at the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth 
 anniversary of the settlement of the town, said : " The main 
 cause which impelled our ancestors to quit their home in the Old 
 World, and seek an abode in the wilds of America, is to be found, 
 without doubt, in their desire for religious liberty." Again he 
 says : " No change but the dread summons of death could have 
 so completely sundered all their relations to those whom, outside 
 their own circle, they held nearest and dearest on earth, as their 
 removal to this country. The pang of sejiaration, which over- 
 flowed the eyes of those of the gentler sex and tender years, must 
 have weighed heavily on the hearts of the grave seniors of the 
 company. But they did not falter ; and so they bade adieu to 
 the scenes and friends of their youth, and embarked on the voyage 
 which shut them from their view forever ; and thenceforward 
 their destinies were linked with those of another hemisphere." 
 
 The truth which Mr. Bell uttered in relation to the early 
 settlers, as a class, is applicable to the family whose history 
 I give. 
 
 Some of the first Morison settlers of Londonderry, N. H., 
 were at the siege of Londonderry, Ireland, in 1688-89. Other 
 Morisons in Scotland rallied to the aid of their brethren at 
 the siege.* The following Morisons were active in their defence 
 of Londonderry, Ireland, or suffered for their adherence to the 
 Pi-otestant cause. Dec. 7 (O. S.), 1688, among the thirteen brave 
 apprentice boys who on this date shut the gates of the city, "in 
 the face of the king's officers, and let down the portcullis," 
 determined to die rather than surrender, was Robert Morison. t 
 James Morison, a citizen more advanced in years, addressed 
 the besiegers from the top of the wall, and advised them to 
 be gone. Finally he cried, "Bring a great gun this way!" 
 when the besiegers retreated, and joined their comrades on 
 the other side of the river.t April 18, 1689, Capt. James 
 Morison, officer of the guard, without orders from the gov- 
 ernor, opened the gate of the city, and admitted Ca})tain 
 Murray and his party, Avho aided much in the city's defence.§

OF THE MORISONS OF LONDONDERRY, N. H. 69 
 
 attainted in 1689 by King James, and declared traitors for their 
 adherence to the Protestant religion, was Lieut. Robert Morison. 
 This appears from the Rolls office, Dublin.* 
 
 The Morisons who were young at the time of the siege of 
 Londonderry, were the sturdy men who, in 1719, helped to found 
 the settlement in Londonderry, N. H. They came in the strength 
 of their manhood, pre])ared the rude habitations, felled the trees, 
 broke the ground, and scattered the grain, which the rich and 
 virgin soil Avould bring forth into abundant harvests. Then the 
 old people came and shared with them the joys as well as the 
 perils of the new life in the wilderness. 
 
 Since the coming of our ancestors, one hundred and sixty-one 
 years have rolled into the eternity of the past, and till now their 
 history has remained unwritten. Eacli vanished year has ren- 
 dered the task more difficult. 
 
 Standing on the middle ground of the present, where I can 
 dimly discern their pathway, reverently I have stretched forth a 
 hand and grasped the fading memorial of their past, and tender 
 it to my clansmen of the present, and looking futureward, I 
 present it with kindliest salutations to the Morrisons of the 
 future. 
 
 THEIR HISTORY. 
 
 In the preparation of their history, I have not relied on tradi- 
 tions and defective memories, but have used them as clews to 
 evidence, as a basis from Avhich to work out a difficult problem. 
 The facts stated here will go counter to many fond traditions, 
 and I myself have laid aside some with great reluctance. But 
 what are stated as facts, are the result of painstaking and diligent 
 inquiry, and can be substantiated by the strongest evidence. This 
 evidence is found in family records, on tomb-stones, in deeds, 
 in wills, and in town, county, and probate records. All these 
 have been consulted, and from them abstracted the history given. 
 This history will correct the record of the Morisons in Parker's 
 History of Londonderry, N. H. The notice there has no histori- 
 cal value. The author of that book died before he had com- 
 pleted his work, which accounts in part for the unsatisfactory 
 condition of the notice. 
 
 Dr. Albert Smith, also, in his History of Peterborough, N". H., p. 
 174, erroneously gave Samuel Morison as the father of the eight 
 children whose names he giA^es, and seems to have been Avholly 
 ignorant of the fact brought out in this history, that John Mori- 
 son was their father, and that he died in Londonderry, N. H., 
 Feb. 16, 1736, leaving a will making his sons James and John 
 executors. 
 
 The time is coming when the fact of being a descendant of 
 one of the first settlers of Londonderry will be considered an

 honor only second to being descended from one of tlie Pilgrim 
 fathers. 
 
 And let every Morrison distinctly remember that he is of Scotch 
 descent ; that "his name is Scotch ; and that the terms Scotch- 
 English or Scotch-Irish, so far as they imply a different than 
 Scotch origin, are a perversion of trnth, and false to history. 
 
 All evidence shows that the Island of Lewis,* settled by 
 Norsemen, was the cradle of the family ; that members of 
 it crossed to the mainland of Scotland, passed into England, 
 Ireland, and spread from there over the earth. 
 
 It was formerly common to use the terms Irish as applied to 
 language, and Irishman as applied to race ; where now, and 
 projierly, we say Gaelic language, and Gael, a Scotch High- 
 lander. f 
 
 This fact, not generally known, throAvs light u})on the former 
 custom in some quarters of alluding to the early settlers of Lon- 
 donderry, N. H., as "Irish." The Quaker poet, John G. Whittier, 
 has fallen into this not uncommon error, in his pretty poem of 
 " Abram Morrison," found in the chapter prepared by Judge Chas. 
 R. Morrison. The Hon. Charles H. Bell, of Exeter, N. H., in his 
 address on the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settle- 
 ment of Londonderry, truly said of the term Scotch-Irish : "It is 
 not inapj)r(^priate as descriptive of their origin and prior abode, 
 though it has given rise to not a little misapprehension. It has 
 been supposed by some writers that the name denotes a mixed 
 nationality of Scotch and Irish descent ; and in order to adapt 
 the facts to their theory, they have fancied that they could detect 
 in the character of the Londonderry settlers the traits derived 
 from each ancestry. But history fails to bear out the ingenious 
 hyi^otliesis ; for it is certain tliat there was no mixture of blood 
 iii the little band who cast their fortunes here ; they were of Scot- 
 tish lineage, pure and simple."

 The Ave Morisons designated by the term " Charter" are the Morisons 
 among the one hundred and nineteen men to whom the charter of London- 
 derry was granted in 1719. John Morisou No. 1, who died in 1736, was 
 father of all succeeding persons to No. 9, and grandfather of all between 
 No. 8 and No. 13. Charter Robert Morison was probably a relative. Char-

 rangement, see Introduction.] 
 
 John Moeison, according to tradition, was born in Scotland, 
 in the County of Aberdeen, in 1628 (?) ; emigrated to America 
 from 1720-23 ; and died in Londonderry, N. H., Feb. 16, 1736, 
 at the reputed age of 108 years. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION IN AMERICA. 
 
 1. Jolm Morison, who died in 1736, was the ancestor of many 
 of the Morisons of the old historic township of Londonderry, N. H. ; 
 of the Morisons of Windham and Peterborough, N. H. ; and of 
 Colchester County, Nova Scotia. He was probably born in Scot- 
 land, in the County of Aberdeen, although there is no accurate 
 data by Avhich to decide this question. By comj)aring the dates 
 at which emigrations from Scotland to Ireland took place, with 
 the great age that tra<lition has assigned to him at the time of his 
 death, 1736,* we can scarcely doubt that he was born in Scotland, 
 and emigrated to Ireland some time preceding the siege of Lon- 
 donderry.f He certainly lived in Ireland, and had a family in 
 
 * Tradition assigns to him the great age of 108 years. From Hon. Thomas 
 F. Morrison, Londonderry, N. S. He was an old man at the time of his 
 last marriage, aud there is at least forty-five years diflereuce in the ages of 
 his eldest son James, born as early as 1G75, and his youngest sou Joseph, 
 born about 1720. The fact of his death being recorded in the London- 
 derry Records (vol. ii, p. 5) is strong presumptive evidence that there 
 was something remarkable in connection with him. 
 
 t In 1727, Nottingham, N. IL, was settled by some families of Morisons 
 from Ireland. They were born in Scotland, emigrated to Ireland at the 
 time of the siege of Londonderry, 1G88, in order to aid their relatives aud 
 friends, endured the sufi'erings of the besieged, and in 1724 embarked for 
 
76 JOHN MORISONi. 
 
 1688, and dwelt in or near the city of Londonderry during the 
 war of James the Second for the throne of England. He and 
 his family were at Londonderry during its celebrated siege and 
 defence. June 30, 1689, the commander of the besieging forces, 
 the French General Conrad de Rosen, for the purpose of inducing 
 the city to surrender, issued an inhuman order, by which some 
 four thousand Protestants were driven beneath the walls of the 
 city, where they were exposed to starvation and the missiles of 
 both armies. It proved ineffectual, and on July 4, 1689, they 
 were permitted to return to their wretched and pillaged homes. 
 John Morison and family were among the number who were 
 driven beneath the walls, and subsequently admitted within the 
 city, remaining there till the city was relieved.* He did not 
 come to America in the first emigration of 1718, but continued 
 to live in Ireland till about 1720, when he removed to America, 
 with a young family by his last wife, Jane Steele. On Dec. 25, 
 1723, his sons James, ancestor of the Windham Morisons, and 
 John, ancestor of the Peterborough Morisons, who had preceded 
 him to the New World, deeded him the following tract of 
 land:— t 
 
 " One second division situate, lying & being in s*^ town of Lon- 
 donderry, lying to y* southeast of Gov. Wentworth's farm y' 
 Rob' Kenedy lives upon, butf^ & bounded as folloAveth beginning 
 at y® Northwest angle at a stake, thence running South by mark*^ 
 trees two hundred & seventy two rods to a stake, thence running 
 East & be Nor forty rods to a stake, thence running North tAvo 
 hundred & seventy two rods by mark"^ trees to a stake, thence 
 running West & be south to ye bounds first mentioned — as also 
 one half acre of meadow situate & lying in y*" meadow y' goes by 
 the name of Leverets meadow, butt** & bound*^ as followeth,

 meadoAv thence running by ye upland to a stake w'''' bounds W™ 
 Gilmores meadow, thence runnmg by stakes across ye meadow 
 bounding on W"' Gilmores meadow to ye upland to ye bounds 
 first mentioned." t 
 
 "To all People to whom these presents shall come Greeting, 
 know ye y' we, James Morison & John Morison both of London- 
 America. They were relatives of the Morisons of Londonderry, N. H., 
 and were drawn to America by the favorable reports of their relatives in 
 Londonderry. The Rev. William Morison, d. d., of Londonderry, N. H., 
 was born in Scotland, and was a relative of the Morisons in Nottingham, 
 N. H. This statement is made on the authority of Hon. Ilobert Morrison, 
 of Northwood, N. H., formerly mayor of Portsmouth, N. H. Similar 
 traditions have been handed down in the dift'erent branches of the family, 
 and similar family names prevail among them, which is one of the strong- 
 est evidences of consanguinity.

 This farm is situated in the present town of Derry, in that por- 
 tion of the town known as the "Dock." It is now owned by Mr. 
 Charles Day, and is very pleasantly situated. Here upon this 
 land, among the hills, where the strong soil would yield him and 
 his family a support, he lived during the remainder of his days ; 
 and here, on the 19th of January, 1736, "being very sick and 
 weak in body, but of perfect mind and memory, . . . knowing 
 that it was appointed unto all men once to die," did the old man 
 make and ordain this, his last will and testament, which is ap-

 10. James'^[23] (Johni). He is supposed to be the James Mor- 
 ison whose name apj^ears upon the Memorial to Governor Shute, 
 of Massachusetts, bearing date of March 26, 1718, previous to 
 the settlement of Londonderry. He was one of the proprietors 
 of the ancient townshij), and one of those to whom the charter 
 of the town was given ; consequently he is known as " Charter 
 James Morison." He was one of the earliest settlers of the town- 
 ship, although his name does not appear among those composing 
 the first sixteen men, who with their families located there. The 
 following record of land was laid out to him and became his 
 "home lot": — 
 
 "NuTFiELD, February y^ &c 1719-20 
 
 " Laid out to James Moreson a Lott of Land in said Town con- 
 taining sixty acres and is bounded as followeth, begining at the 
 north east corner upon west runing brook the first bound mark 
 being a small white oake tree marked standing about thirteen 
 yards from said brook, from thence runing a due south line by

 So his home evei* after was near the "West Running Brook." 
 This land is situated about one mile southwest of Derry East 
 Meeting-house, in what was known in the early history of Lon- 
 donderry as the "Double Range." It is east of the turnpike, 
 lying between the turnpike and the residence of Col. George W. 
 Lane. Part, if not the whole, of the land is now included in the 
 farm of a Mr. Noyes. From time to time other lands came into 
 his possession. 
 
 Quiet and unassuming as we imagine our ancestor to have been, 
 still he did not wholly escape the perplexities of life, and in 
 company with others entered his strong protest against what he 
 considered an unjust division of lands among the settlers, and 
 asked for redress. 
 
 There were distui'bing elements hi the society of the eai-ly 
 settlers. Selfishness was prominent then, as now, in the breasts 
 of all. Many of those who lived in the "Double Range" were 
 dissatisfied with the division and distribution of the land. "One 
 method, 'to do as they would be done by,' did not prevail there." 
 So fourteen freeholders in the township of Londonderry (now 
 Derry) signed the annexed petition : — 
 
 PETITION FOB REDRESS OF INJUSTICE.

 18th day of May, 17'28. The 23d was appointed as a day of

 hearing. Both parties ap])earing unitedly declared that they had 
 settled the difference among themselves, and humbly prayed the 
 Government to give a sanction to their agreement. 
 
 "In Council, May 23, 1728, Voted, that the Said Agreement be 
 and hereby is established and contirmed. The Agrement was as 
 follows, At a Proprietary Meeting at Londonderry the 15'^ day 
 of April 1728, it was voted that the fourteen petitioners 'shall 
 have Five Hundred and Ninetyfour acres of land within the said 
 Town of Londonderry.' The petitioners shall have one half the 
 land that fronts on Cobbetts Pond, on the South side and the 
 East end of the said pond, so beginning at the middle of said 
 Pond and running out a square line from the Pond Three Hun- 
 dred and twenty rods if Policy Pond will allow, thence extend- 
 ing East not to run past ye east end of Policy Pond southerly, 
 and so running along ye habitable land breaking no form of land 
 until the aforesaid Petitioners' compliment of five hundred and 
 ninety four acres is made up exclusive of any meadow," * etc. 
 
 Part, if not all, of tliis land was laid out in October of 1728. 
 Like the rest of the common land of Londonderry, it was formed 
 into a "range," so that it might "be laid out in order." This was 
 the origin of that section of farms, which for nearly one hundred 
 and fifty years has been known as "Windham Range." t The 
 land laid out to James Morison, 'N'ov. 18, 1728, in consequence of 
 this protest and petition, has furnished a home for many of his 
 descendants down to the present day. It is now owned by his 
 great-great-grandson, Albert A. Morrison. In his possession also 
 is a Bible once belonging to our ancestor, and was used by him 
 in his daily devotions. It is strongly bound, and was closed 
 originally with clasps, though they are now broken. It was 
 printed in 1725. It bears the marks of use, and some of its pages 
 are stained by the sea-waves when crossing the Atlantic, a cen- 
 tury and a half ago or more. 
 
 He was one of the selectmen of Londonderry in 1725. He 
 married Mary Wallace, in Ireland, by whom he had two sons, 
 Halbert and Samuel. She died in Ireland, and he came to 
 America, and married Janet Steele, and had five children. 
 
 Tliere seems to have been a general closing uj) of his affairs on 
 March 5, 1756, and several deeds from him to his sons bear this 
 date. These Avere not acknowledged before a justice of the peace, 
 and those who witnessed them were obliged to ajipear at probate 
 court at Portsmouth, N. IT., June 9, 1757, to testify and establish 
 the legality of the writings. The records say, "And it is

 Windham Range: 1. Ezekiel Morison, son of John, bouirht of William 
 Clendenin the land laid out to Archibald Clendenin. The place where the 
 house stood is in the hollow between the Seuter and Smith farms. 2. Hal-

 date of deed Oct. 17, 1739. 3. Capt. Thomas Morison, son of John, lived

 re])orted that James Morison is dead." His son Samuel took out 
 ])apers of administration on his estate, June 9, 1757. Here the 
 curtain falls. U])()ii the history of the ancestor of this branch of 
 the Morison family, no further light comes. No stone bearing 
 his name can be discovered in the cemeteries of Windham, Derry, 
 or Londonderry. The " great rea])er " gathered the ripened shock 
 of corn into his garner, and so jjasses from our view and knowl-

 On Oct. 17, 1739, for tlie consideration of five ])Ounds, lie received 
 of William Nickles, of Londonderry, a deed of land in Windham

 Indians occasioned the settlers ninch annoyance, and parties Avere 
 scouting for them continually. In 1746, among the foi-ty-four 
 names on the muster-roll of that somewhat celebrated Indian 
 fighter, Capt. John Goffe, I find his name. He was out from 
 April 24, 1746, to May 19, scouting for Indians, He then re-en- 
 listed for eleven days.* This exjdains a vote passed at a town- 
 meeting in Windham, May 14, 1748 : " Voted, on the fifth article, 
 that each man that is gone to the woods for us, this year, shall 
 have 40 shillings Old Tenor above the province pay," f In 
 1747, his name appears on the Windham records as highway 
 surveyor. Under date of Feb. 20, 1750, Halbert Morison, and 
 his wife Mary, deed their home in Windham to John Christy, for 
 the consideration of six hundred pounds, old tenor. % April 29, 
 1752, Halbert, David, and Samuel Morison deeded land to Joseph 
 Blanchard in " New Plantation or Township Monadnock No. 5, 
 within Mason's Patent." § This Monadnock No, 5 was incorpo- 
 rated as Marlboro', Dec. 13, 1776. || He next appears in Peter- 
 borough, N, H,, July 5, 1753. He bought land there, which he 
 deeded to his cousin by marriage, William Smith, and the father 
 of the learned jurist, Judge Jeremiah Smith. 1[ In 1757, at the 
 vendue of his father's personal property, Lieut. Samuel Morison 
 speaks, in one of his papers, of " bro. Halbert " as being present. 
 
 In 1761, he was in Amherst, N. H,, and there he lived tlie 
 remainder of his life. May 8, 1765, he bought one lot of land in 
 Amherst of sixty acres. 
 
 On the twelfth day of August, 1771, he deeded away a certain 
 " Right or Tract Throughout the Township of Monadnock No. 5, 
 being a whole Right or Proprietor's Share of land in said Monad- 
 nock of which I am the original Grantee." ** The exact date of 
 his death is unknown ; but it was previous to Jan. 27, 1779. On 
 that date one Garfield took out letters of administration on his 
 estate, but it was not fully settled in 1780, when license was 
 granted to sell his real estate and pay debts, tt He married Mary 
 (Nickles, probablj^). From the Londonderry records it appears 
 that Halbert and Mary had one child, Martha, born June 13, 1750. 
 This is all that is known of him or his descendants. Xt

 %% And to show the difficulties which environ one who searches after 
 genealogical facts, where there are no correct records kept, I will state 
 that the only clew I had to the history of Halbert Morison, beyond the faint 
 tradition that such a pei'sou had existed, was found in a scrap of dateless 
 paper, a copy of which is appended, directed to his brother John Mori.son.

 19. Lieut. SamueP [12] (James", John^). He was the pro- 
 genitor of the Morisons of Windham. He came to Londonderry 
 with his father in 1719, when a lad of fifteen years, and shared 
 with others the hardships of the new settlement. Feb. 12, 1739, 
 his father deeded him the farm (then in Londonderry) in Wind- 
 ham range. This deed was not acknowledged before a justice of 
 the peace, consequently James Morison gave another deed of the 
 same land March 5, 1756. This deed was proven and legalized 
 before the court at Portsmouth, June 9, 1757, and from 
 1728, when this farm was laid out to' James Morison, till the 
 present date, it has been in the Morison name, and its bounds 
 remain unchanged. It is not known at what time he first came 
 upon the farm in Windham, but it is quite evident that it was 
 not many years after its "laying out," and not far from 1730, 
 In 1742, Windham was incorporated as a separate township, 
 except that it must unite with Londonderry to send a representa-- 
 tive to the general court of the Province. He was moderator of 
 the first town-meeting ever lield in Windham, in 1742, He pre- 
 sided in thirty-one town-meetings, the last time in 1775. He was 
 a member of the first board of selectmen of the town, and acted 
 in this capacity, at different times, for seven years. He was clerk 
 of the town for four years.* In 1752, he appeared with a petition 
 before the governor and council of the Province protesting 
 against the boundary line of Salem, Avhich took off a slice from 
 Windham, t His mission was ineffectual. In 1758, he was a 
 lieutenant in a New Hampshire regiment, and was present at 
 the capture of Louisburg from the French, July 26, 1758. 1: Jn 
 the possession of a descendant is a diary kept by him 
 during his term of service. A tradition exists in the family, 
 that after the surrender of the fortress by the French, as the offi- 
 cers of the besieging and victorious forces were gathered around 
 the refreshment tables, the chaplain was called upon to ask the 
 divine blessing. He was in the habit of being lengthy on such 
 
 it and you may cary j'our documents to him if you please All is from 
 your frieud and servant, James Lyons." 
 
 This was the basis from which his history was constructed, collecting 
 information as I could, "here a little and there a little," till it was com- 
 plete.

 occasions, but he excited the astonishment and admiration of all 
 present by being extremely brief, saying, "O Lord! we have so 
 much to thank 'I'hee for, and as time is short, we'll postpone it 
 till eternity. Amen." Mr. Morison was a rigid Presbyterian, 
 like all his race, and about 1760 became one of the elders of the 
 church in Windham. 
 
 In the town records he is alluded to as "Samuel Morison, 
 Gentleman"; also in many deeds. He was prominent in all the 
 affairs of the town, and much engaged in business of a juiblic nature, 
 as appears from his papers and from many records. For that time 
 he was well educated, having received a fair education in Ireland 
 before his emigration to Londonderry. In the possession of the 
 writer is a tile of papers which once were his ("Essex Gazette," 
 Mass., for years 1774-75), of much interest and value. The old anti- 
 quated house, at the meeting of three roads, in which he lived 
 (and a portion of which he built), still stands. It is the Morison 
 Homestead, of Windham, IST. H., and an engraA'ing of it is given. 
 The end of the house nearest the barn, he built, not far from 1730, 
 and occupied it.* In it have been many scenes of "exuberant 
 mirth " and the deepest sadness. Inside its walls many have been 
 ushered into life, and the clock has ticked many lives away. 
 Generations have gone with " all they loved," with hopes ful- 
 tilled or unfulfilled, and are almost forgotten; but the gambrel- 
 roofed house stands; and now, as in the "long, long ago," the 
 opening glory of day salutes it. With an anecdote or two I 
 will bid it adieu. 
 
 The owner of the place at one time had a sheep not noted for 
 its genial and amiable qualities. In truth, its " bump of combat- 
 iveness" seemed to be particularly prominent, so much so that 
 its " butting " propensity had acquired for it an unenviable 
 reputation. Under the tutelage of " the boys," these natural 
 characteristics were not repressed, but "became chronic." He 
 was no respecter of persons, places, or conditions. He had no 
 eye for the " eternal fitness of things," in the common and ac- 
 cepted meaning of the term. All rules of good taste and pro- 
 priety were violated on this occasion. It so hapj^ened one 
 unfortunate morning, while the family were in the midst of 
 their morning devotions, that the following incident occurred. 
 
 The chapter from Holy Writ had been read; the venerable 
 man was upon his bended knees in jirayer. His elbow rested 
 upon a chair, and his head rested on his hand, tie was facing 
 the pantry door, and on a diagonal line from the outside door of 
 the house, which was open. At this moment, the sheep we have 
 described was passing the outside door, when one of "the boys" 
 who sat near shook his hat at him. This was enough; he 
 accejDted the wager of battle. 
 
 "Not a moment stopped or staj'ed he," 
 
 *The persons in the engraving are: nearest the guidepost, L. A. Mor- 
 rison (No. 382); in the doorway, aunt Naomi Morrison (No. 30); Albert 
 A. Morrison (No. 228) ; and at the carriage, I'atsey Maliouey. 
 
86 CHARTER JAMES-^ ; LIEUT. SAMUEL3. [19 
 
 but in the twinkliug of an eye through the door he came, for 
 the hat, but it was withdrawn, and the only object which greeted 
 his startled vision was the head of the house on his knees in the 
 manner described. Him he hit in such a manner, and with so 
 much vigor, that man and chair and sheep were mingled in a 
 confused mass upon the floor. Tradition does not tell us what 
 was said by the elder at this moment. What would be apt to be 
 said would depend largely upon the temperament, training, and 
 character of the individual. 
 
 With one more anecdote the record of " Samuel Morison, 
 Geutlemau," is closed. It is uncertain whether this has to do 
 with him or his father James. He wished to keep his children 
 free from all " Irish " ways or expressions, and w^as particularly 
 guarded in his manner of training them. At one time, a person 
 present at his home exclaimed to one of the children, " Gang 
 and get the spirtle " * (pudding-stick), when the offender was 
 speedily rebuked for the " Irish " expression. 
 
 He married Martha Allison, daughter of Samuel Allison,t of 
 the Double Range, Londonderry. She was born in Londonderry, 
 March 31, 1720, and was the first female child of European 
 exti'action boru in that town. She died Dec. 3, 1761. 
 
 Lieut. Samuel Morison died Feb. 11, 1776, aged 72 years. In 
 the ancient burial-place at the head of Windham Range, over- 
 looking the clear, l)right, sparkling waters of Cobbett's Pond, he 
 and his wife Martha Allison rest side by side. The old head- 
 stones are covered with moss, and time with its effacing finger 
 has nearly obliterated the record upon them. On his headstone 
 is this inscrijDtion, — 
 
 " Though I am biu'ied in the dust, 
 I hope to rise among the just." 
 
 A fac-simile of his autograph is given below : — 
 
 * This is a Scotch expression, and is another illustration of the habit 
 of using the term "Irish" for that which is purely Scotch. 
 
 t Samuel Allison was the emigrant, and his family was one of the first 
 sixteen families. He had four children: 1. Janet, m. Samuel Morison, 
 of Londonderry, N. H. (No. 2279). 2. Martha, m. Samuel Morison, of 
 Windham (No. 19). 3. Rebecca, m. Mr. Gyvas. 4. Samuel Allison, 
 Jr., a gifted man, and a fluent extempore speaker, lived in Londonderry. 
 His son Samuel, m. Mary Barr, and removed to Dunbarton, N. H., and had 
 eleven children ; and his son John removed to Peterboro', N. H. ; and an- 
 other son James lived in Dunbarton, b. May 2-t, 1784 ; d. in Goffstown, N. H.,

 40. Samuel* ['22'] (Lieut. SaniucP, James'-, John^). He lived 
 upon and owned the farm which his father bought of Rev. James 
 McGregore, May 26, 1749, to whom it was laid out Oct. 24, 1728. 
 Samuel Morison received a deed of this farm from his father, Feb. 
 5, 1776. Aug. 29, 1777, he was with the company from London- 
 derry, under General Stark, which participated in the battle of 
 Bennington. 
 
 According to Horace Greeley, the speech of General Stark to 
 his men, just previous to the engagement, was substantially as 
 follows : " Boys ! you see those Hessians. King George paid 
 £4. 75. 6d. apiece for 'em. I reckon you are worth more. If not, 
 Molly Stark sleeps a widow to-night." Morison came out of the 
 battle unliarmed. In the midst of the engagement, he stepped 
 behind a small tree to load his gun, when a ball struck the tree in 
 the centre. His part of the spoils of wai- was a razor-case, picked 
 up upon the battle-field, and which had belonged to the departed 
 enemy. It is now in the possession of the writer. He possessed 
 a vigorous, practical mind, and was well educated, considering his 
 meagre opportunities. There are books in existence, in his hand- 
 writing, filled with his mathematical investigations, which would 
 do credit to a college graduate. He made considerable progress 
 in geometry and other branches. There was no poetry in his 
 nature. He was for many years an elder in the church. In the 
 town he served as moderator, clerk, and as selectman for seven 
 years, and representative. For his first wife he married Sarah 
 Park, May 20, 1779, daughter of Robert Park, of Windham. 
 She was laorn Sept. 4, 1757, and died Dec. 27, 1789. They had 
 six children. He then married Margaret ( Dinsmoor ) Armoi*,

 farm forty-three years. In 1866 he went to Chicago, where he 
 has resided most of the time since, living yvith his daughter. He 
 is a hale, hearty, venerable old man, and to use his own words, 
 " has never knoAvn what it was to have pain or sickness." He is 
 in his ninetj'-second year. I will here relate an interesting and 
 rather remarkable incident in his life, and one that happens to 
 but few extremely old people. Mr. Morrison visited his early 
 home but a few times after his departure in his youth. In the 
 winter of 1877, Dea. Jonathan Cochran, of Melrose, Mass., a 
 companion of his boyish days, and a relative, visited Chicago, 
 and called to see his old friend, wdiom he had not seen since Mr. 
 Morrison's first departure from Windham in 1807. Now they 
 met twelve hundred miles away from tlieir early home ; seventy 
 years had passed away ; two and a half generations of men had 
 come into this busy world, liad performed their ])arts, and were 
 slumbering in the peaceful bosom of mother earth. Wlieu they 
 separated, the "man of destiny" was in the midst of his dazzling 
 career, and the world was being torn as by a tornado.

 They separated as young men, with life before them; they 
 met as old men, with life's labors nearly accomplished, and life 
 behind them. AH can imagine the associations and memories 
 which must have come thronging in upon their souls, as their 
 hands clasjicd each other. Those aged men had passed through 
 the storms of life successfully ; each was waiting the coming of 
 the silent messenger which should bear him forth into fairer 
 fields, into brighter sunlight. 
 
 In 181'2, March 31, Mr. Morrison married Euridice Earle,

 decide, he weighed with nice discrimination in the sensitively- 
 poised balances of his mind. He seldom erred in jndgment, or 
 in his analysis of the character and motives of men. His was 
 not an impiilsive nature ; he was calm and collected, and arrived 
 at his conclusions slowly, and with deliberation. Combining 
 these qualities with a strict conscientiousness, it seldom became 
 necessary for him to change his opinions, as they were seldom 
 Avrong. His opinions being once formed, he clung to them with 
 great tenacity. His was a nature that 'would cling to a good 
 cause even unto death. 
 
 He was among the earliest to espouse the antislavery cause, 
 and at a time when it was not popular. For its success he 
 prayed and worked and voted to the end of his life. He lived 
 to behold the glimmering rays of the morning of that glorious 
 day which iishered in freedom for an enslaved race. He was for 
 many years a member of the Presbyterian church. " His religion 
 Avas not of the demonstrative order. It pervaded his life, regu- 
 lated his whole conduct in the least as well as the greatest matters, 
 and was intertwined with his whole being. The keen sorrows 
 of his life, and they were many, he bore without a murmur ; its 
 losses without a complaint." He was an earnest worker in the 
 Sunday school, — of which he was superintendent for many 
 years, — in the religious society, and in the church. 
 
 In the town, at different times, he occix]iied all the j)rominent 
 positions ; was a member of the constitutional convention in 
 1850, and represented the town in the legislatures of 1825-26, 
 1841, and 1852. He held a commission as justice of the peace 
 for many years. Jan. 27, 1886, he married, at Bradford, Mass.,

 of Peacham, Yt. He died of heart disease, in Windham, Nov.

 Mrs. Morrison was born Jan. 8, 1808. Her daughter, Mrs. M.- 
 Lizzie Park, of Belfast, Me., writes as follows : " It is difficult to 
 convey in words a faithful portraiture of her life and character, so 
 quiet, so gentle, so full of faith and good works. Fond of study 
 in her youth, she acquired a good education at the academies at 
 Montpelier, Vt., and Bradford, Mass., and was a successful teacher 
 for several years. She was untiring in her devotion as daughter, 
 wife, and mother; unmindful of self in her ministrations to 
 others ; generous and charitable in an eminent degree, in thought 
 and word, in her estimate of others, and retiring and unassuming 
 in her own disposition. At the age of eighteen she became a 
 member of the Congregational (Orthodox) church, and honored 
 her profession by a life made beautiful by Christian graces. She 
 died of consumption, at Windham, Aug. 5, 1866, aged 58 years."

163] FIFTH GENEEATION. — CHRISTOPHER MORRISON. 97 
 
 160. Christopher^ [50] (SamueP, Lieut. SamueP, James^, 
 John^). Lived several years in Plymouth, N. H. He then went 
 into trade at Salem, N. H., and prospered till the financial 
 crash of 1837, when his property was swept away. He was pos- 
 sessed of good abilities and was a natural orator. When roused, 
 his words were keen as a rajner's point. Nature intended him 
 for a lawyer. His vigor of intellect, quickness in retort, readi- 
 ness to see the weak point of an opponent, combined with his 
 natural ability as a speaker, would, with proper training, have 
 enabled him to cope successfully in courts of justice. He arrived 
 at conclusions rapidly, and was not always a safe counsellor. He 
 represented the town of Salem in the legislature. Then removed 
 to Windham, and was often connected with town affairs. Was 
 moderator six years, treasurer two years, selectman four years, 
 and was justice of the peace many years. His health was not 
 firm, owing to a severe fever when young, by which his consti- 
 tution was shattered. He lived on the old homestead in Wind- 
 ham with his brother, where he died of pneumonia, Jan. 17, 1859. 
 He was a good citizen and an uprio-ht man. 
 
 161. Sarah^ (Ward) [51] (Samuel Morison^ Lieut. SamueP, 
 James'-, John\). She married Dr. Milton Ward, who was born 
 in Plymouth, N". H., Sept. 8, 1808; graduated at Dartmouth Col- 
 lege at the age of seventeen ; practised medicine six years, part of 
 which was spent in Windham; then entered the Congregational, 
 and afterwards the Episcojial, ministry; preached in various places 
 in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and was rector of St. 
 Stephen's church at Detroit, Mich., where he died March 2, 1874. 
 He was a man of ability as a poetical and also as a prose writer, 
 and was once offered a professorship at Dartmouth College. 
 
 Mrs. Ward was particularly distinguished for her 2:»ersonal 
 beauty, sweetness of disposition, and her intellectual qualities. 
 During her short married life, she was of great assistance 
 to her husband in his literary work. Her love of all things 
 that delight the eye or gratify the mind, was largely develo])ed, 
 and she enjoyed tlie rippling music of ]:)oetry as well as the deli- 
 cate touclies of the ])ainter's pencil, and there are many efforts 
 of hers in both still in existence, creditable to her refined taste. 
 She died June 7, 1833, leaving one daughter: —

 163. Elizabeth^ (Dow) [53] (Robert Morison\ Lieut. SamueP,

 a nail manufacturer. His health failing, he removed to Ilookset, 
 N. H. Returned to Windham, bought the home of his wife's 
 father in 1815, and became a farmer. He died in 1824, leaving 
 his wife with eight children. She was a strong-minded, energetic 
 woman, and managed her family successfully. She was familiarly 
 known by her acquaintances as "Aunt Betty." She lived to a 
 serene old age, and died Sept. 28, 1865, aged 82 years.

 ness of shoe-manufacturer. He made ' considerable property, but 
 lost heavily by a financial crash, and only saved his farm from the 
 ruins. Removed to Pokagon, Mich. He never sought and never 
 would accept any public jjosition. While in the West he was a 
 member of a Democratic county convention, A Mr. Jones had 
 received the nomination for some county j^osition, when he arose 
 and thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him. 
 Mr. Morrison was then nominated for State senator, when he 
 arose and said, "Mr. Jones has thanked you for the honor; but I 
 do not. I want the convention to nominate some man for senator 
 who has either brains or gab. As for me, I will not have it any- 
 how." He was a generous, large-hearted man, and respected by 
 his acquaintances. His wife died Jan. 28, 1828. He married,

 Abi-aliani-Uow Merrill, son of Maj. Joshua Merrill, of Salem, and 
 immediately removed to a farm in Salem, near the homestead 
 where Mr. Merrill was born. Mrs. Merrill was a woman of great 
 personal attractions, combined with a superior intellect and firm- 
 ness of Christian character. To her influence may be traced the 
 ministerial career of her husband, who entered the Methodist 
 Episcoj)al church as an itinerant ])reacher some four years after 
 tlieir marriage. For forty years she bore the burdens of a Meth- 
 odist minister's wife with great humility. She Avas the light and 
 joj' of her household, her husband's happiness ; and her children 
 and her children's children " rise up and call her blessed." She 
 was an earnest student of the Bible, and so familiar with its con- 
 tents that a quotation from it brought instantly to her mind the 
 chapter and verse. In conversation she was clear and logical, 
 and at times maintained her convictions with great power and 
 brilliancy. She was a woman calculated to adorn the highest 
 positions in life.

185] FIFTH GENERATION. — NANCY (MORRISON) MERRILL. 99' 
 
 The youth of Rev. A. D. Merrill was spent upon the farm. 
 He possessed good musical abilities, and taught vocal music in 
 his early manhood. His fine voice and extensive culture proved 
 a potent power in his sacred calling. He was the author of the 
 music to which the beautiful words are attached, — 
 
 " Joyfulljs joyfull.y, ouward I move, 
 Bound for the laud of bright spirits above," 
 
 which has been sung by thousands, bringing to their souls the 
 sweetness of peace, sung by many Avho have "passed on" and be- 
 come "bright spirits above," and by many of that great advancing 
 army whose feet have not yet reached the cold waters of the 
 dark river. Mr. Merrill, through the influence of his wife, and 
 under the power of a revival, was converted, and in less than a 
 year he began to preach with great acce^Jtability. In 1822 he 
 was stationed in Landaff, N. H. His services were soon sought 
 by influential churches, and from 1829 till his death he found a 
 held of eminent usefuhiess in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and 
 Vermont. As a preacher, he was direct, simple, and plain in 
 method, powerful in expression, combined with an earnestness, 
 and pathos which were powerful in influence on the hearts of his 
 hearers. Many in New England have recognized him as their 
 spiritual father. In all the relations of husband, parent, friend,, 
 citizen, and pastor he acquitted himself well. He died in Boston, 
 leaving a widow by a second marriage. He was born March 7, 
 1796 ;"died April 29, 1878. Nancy Morrison, his wife, died Jan. 
 29, 1860. In the beautiful cemetery in Cambridge they rest side 
 by side.

 bought a farm in Salem, N. H., where he resided till a year or two< 
 before his death. Said one in writing of him, " His life was his 
 best memorial. It was marked by uprightness, strong love for 
 his family and friends, warm hospitality for those who visited his 
 home, deep interest in the cause of religion, an humble ho])e in 
 our divine Lord, and a death Avhose sorfows never cliecked his

 years. Mrs. Morrison resides in Braintree, Mass. The following 
 account of his life, and tribute to his memory, is from the pen of 
 the late Rev. Lorenzo D. Barrows, d. d., of Plymouth, N. H.: — 
 
 " Mr. Morrison, when about thirty years of age, at Braintree, 
 Mass., became a Christian, and member of the Methodist Episco- 
 pal church ; and to the close of his useful life, nobly maintained 
 that character. He resided and did a large business in Salem, 
 N. H., some ten or eleven years, when he removed to the city of 
 Lawrence, Mass. From here, after several years, he removed to 
 Byfield, Mass., and again entered into the business of manufac- 
 turing, in which he had already acquired a handsome property. 
 In all of these places where he resided he was regarded as a man 
 of marked character, and his memory is 'like ointment poured 
 forth.' 
 
 "His business talents Avere first-class, and his habits prompt, 
 energetic, and honest. Great modesty and courtesy marked his 
 bearing towards all, with much tenderness and sympathy for his 
 intimate friends. His hand was stretched out in aid of every

 good cause and worthy sufferer, for which thousands now bless 
 his memory. In notliing, however, was he so noticeable as in liis 
 deep and abiding love of the church of Christ, and his uniform 
 devotion to all its interests. His symj^athies, prayers, and money 
 were ever like a gushing fountain. In Salem, the church will 
 long remember his labors and numerous benefactions. No one 
 <:lid so much as he in laying the early foundations of Methodism 
 in the young and vigorous city of Lawrence. In the early effort 
 to build the Haverhill Street Church, the work must have been 
 postponed but for his timely and liberal help. Then, when this 
 church had become self-supporting, rather than settle down in quiet 
 enjoyment of self-ease and irreligious idleness, he struck out 
 again in a still larger and longer continued assistance of the Gar- 
 den Street church, where, in the same city, he worshipped, labored, 
 and sacrificed for several years. Later in life, removing to Byfield, 
 he answered again to urgent calls of the church for love, prayers, 
 and money, where, though dead, he yet speaketh, and the people 
 deeply feel the loss his death occasioned. 
 
 "He died, as he lived, in holy quiet and peace, leaving the com- 
 panion of his youth, who was every way worthy of him, with two 
 dear grandchildren, whose earthly loss they feel is irre2:)arable. 
 But why should God's dear ones be always kept here, away from 
 their reward, even at the request of dear earthly friends ? Thanks 
 to God, who raises up for his church, just as she needs them, such 
 timely and magnanimous friends and supporters ! Yet few of 
 these can be numbered with a Leonard Morrison."

 Hon. Alva Morrison was born at Windham, N. H., May 13, 1806. 
 His father died when he was nearly two years old. From that 
 time until he was twenty years of age, his life was spent quietly 
 at home with his mother. He received what education the dis- 
 trict school was able to give, and worked at farming. From his 
 earliest years he exhibited that spirit of industry which led to his 
 success in after life. In the spring of 1826, desiring to acquire a 
 knowledge of some business other than farming, he left his boy- 
 hood's home and went to Stoughton, Mass., where his brother 
 Leonard was at work in a woolen factory. He commenced work 
 at the same place, but the proprietor soon becoming insolvent, he 
 went to Canton and obtained a situation in a woolen factory of 
 that town. Here he remained only until the factory at Stoughton 
 started again, under the control of a new owner, when he returned 
 to his former situation. It was while in Stoughton that he mar- 
 ried, July 11, 1830, Myra Southworth, only daughter of Col. 
 Consider Southworth of that town. She was born Nov. 3, 
 1810. He remained in the same factory until the s])ring of 1831, 
 when he removed to Braintree, which was ever after his home.

 Having acqilil-ed ft thorough knowledge of the business, he m 
 company with his brother Leonard commenced the manufacture 
 of woolen goods. They soon attained a high reputation, as the 
 goods manufactured by them were the best in the market. They 
 remained in company five years, when they dissolved partnership. 
 He continued the business at Braintree, and Leonard started anew 
 at Salem, N. H. By close attention to business and strict integ- 
 rity, he accumulated wealth. He remained in business until 1871, 
 when he retired, and was succeeded by his sons, who still main- 
 tain the high reputation which he established in 1831. He was 
 several times chosen to the Massachusetts legislature as senator 
 and representative, and was the recipient of other important 
 trusts from his fellow-townsmen, who relied implicitly upon his 
 high integrity and intelligence. He was a large-hearted, whole- 
 souled man. In his private as well as jiublic life, he was highly 
 esteemed for great energy of character and strength of purpose. 
 The wealth which he accumulated he made generous use of, in 
 public and private benevolence. He was greatly interested in the 
 honor and success of his country ; and viewed with distrust many 
 of the popular movements of the present time. He was a man 
 of much reading ; he loved and appreciated the best works of 
 English literature. In the intervals of business, he was given to 
 study books of science and theology, and upon these subjects 
 formed independent and progressive, though thoroughly reverent 
 opinions. Religion was with him a practical thing for every-day 
 use, and his sense of duty towards his fellow-man and God was 
 the highest. 
 
 He was very domestic in his tastes, and found his greatest 
 enjoyment in his home. In return for his great love of his family, 
 he found them ever ready to bestow on him the warmest affection 
 and sympathy, and he received from them that considerate care 
 and kindness which seemed to him so beautiful, during the last 
 few weeks of his life. He died May 28, 1879.

 During the gold excitement in California in 1849, his attention 
 was drawn that way, and he was swept in with the Hood of emi- 
 gration. He sailed from Boston for California, via Cape Horn, 
 in the ship "Euphasia," Captain Buntin, Nov. 12, 1849, and 
 landed in San Francisco May 26, 1850. He went direct to the 
 mines at Don Pedro's Bar, on Tuolumne River, and tried to turn 
 the course of the river. The river became swollen by a freshet, 
 and their works were washed away, and the money invested was 
 lost. He then moved to other "diggins." He made money, and 
 lost money. To use his language: "In 1851 I found myself on 
 Poverty Hill with established head-quarters for ten years. In 
 1859, went to Frazer River for three months, and was unsuccessful. 
 In 1861, left the inines and located on a farm." On this farm, at 
 Knight's Ferry, he now lives, and is meeting with a good degree 
 of success. He has had a varied experience, like the most of old 
 Californians, and has met with many successes and reverses. 
 June 10, 1854, he married S. Gamier. They had nine children. 
 She died Feb. 8, 1870. On Jan. 14, 187l', he married Fanny

 Avere first marched six hundred miles to Shrevejiort, La., then to 
 Tyler, Tex., Avhere two thousand Union soldiers w^ere corralled

 rains of summer, and the frosts of winter, by tunnelling, and 
 building log huts. After ten months of captivity, he was ex-

 379. Christopher-Merrill" [149] (Jeremiah^ Samuel*, Lieut. 
 Samuer*, James'-, John^). The following sketches of him and his 
 brother Edward-Payson are from the pen of their sister, Mrs. M.- 
 Lizzie Park, Belfast, Me.: — 
 
 "From a child he was of a thoughtful mind, mature in judg- 
 ment, and conscientious in character ; and as years passed over 
 him, these traits were still more strongly defined. His i)urpose 
 and desire were to obtain a liberal education, and for this object 
 he entered the academy at Atkinson, N. H., preparatory to a col- 
 lege course. While there, his attention was strongly called to 
 religious things, and the result was, that he entered Avith his 
 whole heart and soul upon a new life, which brought with it 
 strength to bear and suffer during a long and painful illness, and 
 fitted him for the rest which remaineth for the people of God. 
 For nearly two years before his death, he was a member of the 
 Presbyterian church in Windham, N. H. He had nearly finished

 his preparatory course, when consumption laid its wasting hand 
 upon him. While giving up the studies in which he delighted, 
 and all the plans of his earthly future, which were dear to him, 
 he cheerfully obeyed the summons, 'Come up higher,' and entered 
 into rest Dec. 22, 1857, aged 21 yrs. 20 days." 
 
 380. Margaret-Elizabeth (Park). [See No. 375.] 
 
 381. Edward-Payson*^ [151] (Jeremiah^ Samuel-*, Lieut. Sam- 
 ueP, James-, Jolm^). "Very early in his childhood, he showed 
 that he was possessed of a very active mind, quick to acquire and 
 strong to retain, which developed into a decided and eager taste 
 for literary pursuits. At the age of thirteen he became a mem- 
 ber of the academy at Atkinson, N. H., where he finished his 
 preparatory course, intending at once to enter college. While 
 teaching in the winter of 1857-58, the first symptoms of con- 
 sumption were manifested, and from them he never recovered. 
 Like his brother, he early became a member of Christ's church, 
 and strengthened and upheld by a like precious faith, he gave up 
 the bright hopes of his youth and the brilliant promise of his 
 future, and cheerfully laid down his life while it was 'yet morn- 
 ing.' He died Aug. 5, 1858, at Peacham, Vt., where he had gone 
 in the hope of regaining his health, at the age of 18 yrs. 6 
 mos. 7 days." 
 
 "Death cannot come 
 To liim untimely, who is fit to die ; 
 The less of this cold world, the more of heaven ; 
 The briefer life, the earlier immortality." 
 
 382. Leonard- Allison" [152] (Jeremiah^, SamueP, Lieut. Sam- 
 ueP, James'^, John^). Leonard-A. Morrison w^as born in Wind- 
 ham, N, H., Feb. 21, 1843, and unmarried. He writes: "Nothing 
 eventful or striking has occurred in my life. Most of my early 
 ambitions have been laid aside. By the death of my brothers, 
 and the precarious state of my parents' health, the burdens of 
 life fell upon me at an early age. My advantages for education 
 were rather limited, — only such as the common sciiool afforded, and 
 a few months' attendance at the Union School, Gowanda, Catta- 
 raugus Co., N. Y., in 1860, and at the New Hampshire Conference 
 Seminary at Sanbornton Bridge (now Tilton), in 1861. This 
 education has been supplemented by intercourse with the world, 
 and by reading. In my youth I was prohibited by my parents 
 from reading works that now find a place in most of our public 
 libraries, and the influence of which is only evil. I was always 
 fond of reading, and for several years took books from the circu- 
 lating library in Lawrence, Mass., and in them found companion- 
 ship, solace, and delight. It is a pleasure to me to read the 
 best writers in poetry, history, or romance, and thus hold 
 communion with those rare individuals of the world A\ho have 
 stamped their own personality u])on their works ; whose words 
 bear the hupress of their souls, and bring to our minds the deep 
 feelings and thoughts that guslied from the dei)tlis of tlieir lioarts. 
 It is thus that we enter into their lives, and see and feel and know 
 what they have seen and felt and known.

 me I have endeavored to perform faithfully and conscientiously.

 The larger part, if not all, of the home lots of John Morison, 
 Robert Weer, Thomas Steele, and Samuel Allison, are now 
 included in tlie farm of Col. G. W. Lane. It was here that John 
 Morison reared his log cabin, which caused his proud-spirited 
 wife to exclaim, " A'weel, a'weel, dear Joan ! an it maun be a log- 
 house, do make it a log heegher nor the lave [than the rest]."

690] SECOND GENEKATION. — CHARTER JOHN MORISON. 133 
 
 He was the father of Jonathan Morison, the fii'st male child born 
 in the town. From his elevated home he could look forth upon 
 the mountains of Peterborough. He lived in Londonderry with 
 his family till 1750 or '51, when he removed to Peterborough, 
 N. H., and was one of the early settlers of that town. He was 
 at that time seventy-one or seventy-two years of age. It is said 
 of him, in the History of Peterborough: "Mr. Morison retained 
 his faculties till within a short time of his death. He was remark- 
 ably intelligent, and his memory very retentive. He with his 
 parents and family was in the city, and his age ten years, at the 
 famous siege of Londonderry, Ireland. The trying scenes he 
 witnessed in youth, a peculiar native eloquence, his pleasing 
 urbanity of manners, venerable age, correctness and respectability 
 of character, rendered his society interesting and instructive." 
 He was an active boy at the time of the siege, doing errands and 
 carrying messages to and from different parts of the city. 
 
 He married, in Ireland, Margaret Wallace. She died April 18, 
 1769, aged 82 years. Mr. Morison lived in Peterborough, on the 
 place occupied by his grandson, Dea. Robert Morison. He 
 died there June 14, 1776, aged 98 years, the oldest man ever 
 known in Peterborough. Below is given a fac-simile of his 
 autograph : —

 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 690. Capt. Thomas^' [ 681 ] ( John-, John^ ) ; was born in 
 Ireland in 1710, and was quite young when his parents emigrated 
 to America. He first settled in Londonderry, in that part which 
 is now Windham. He occupied the farm owned by Mr. Isaiah 
 Dinsmoor, in the Range, which was laid out to his father, John 
 Morison, as "amendment" land in 1728. He lived upon that 
 place, and was married at the time, and two of his chil-

 (Iren, John and Elizabeth, were lorobably horn there. Windham 
 was incorporated as a separate township in 1742, and he served 
 as one of the selectmen of the town in 1743. His name occurs 
 on the Windham records for the last time, previous to the annual 
 meeting in March, 1744. He sold his farm in Windham Nov. 3, 
 1743, to Francis Smiley, and removed to Lunenburg as early as 
 1744 or '45. "There is no authentic record when he first went to 
 Peterborough ; but it is supposed he went to the latter place and 
 cleared land and returned to Lunenburg. ... It was not till 1743 
 or '44 that he began the farm afterwards occupied by him, and 
 built there a camp against a large bowlder having a perpendicular 
 side on the east of six or seven feet height, against which the 
 camp was constructed and the camp-fire built. The party went 
 from Lunenburg on foot, with axes, packs of provisions, and cook- 
 ing utensils on their backs, thridding their way through the 
 unfrequented forests, guided by blazed trees. The large bowlder 
 served, with its vertical face, to shelter and support the camp, 
 and furnished it with a firej^lace and chimney. 
 
 "It is related in a manuscript account of this affair, that when 
 they went out one morning, they perceived two Indian men, a 
 "squaw, and a small Indian. They intended to be friendly, and 
 spoke to them, and invited them to take breakfast with them, 
 Avhich they did. After the departure of the Indians, they went 
 out to their work ; but when they returned for their dinner, they 
 found that the Indians had stolen every mouthful of their eata- 
 bles and disappeared. They immediately set out for Townsend, 
 not being able to obtain the least sustenance till they reached 
 that place. . . . They went again to Peterborough in the fall or win- 
 ter, at which time all the inhabitants were frightened away, and 
 left the toAvn till 1749. ... In 1749, Morison returned to Peter- 
 borough, and built a house of hard-pine logs ten inches square, 
 into which he moved his family in the fall of 1750, He resided 
 on his farm till his death, Nov. 23, 1797, aged 87 yrs. . . . Peter- 
 borough was incorporated in 1760, and Thomas Morison served 
 on the first board of selectmen. He subsequently was elected, in 
 the years 1765, '66, and '73, to the same office. Thomas Morison 
 and William Smith, and they only, are always styled in Peter- 
 borough town records 'gentlemen.' He was universally known 
 as Capt. Thomas Morison, and marched his company on one 
 occasion to Keene, twenty miles, through the woods, on a false 
 alarm that the Indians had attacked that ])lace. He married 
 Mary, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Smith, at Lunenburg, 
 Mass., Oct. 2, 1739. She w^as born in Ireland, and died in Peter- 
 borough, Dec. 29, 1799, aged 87 yrs." The following is a fac-

 701. EzekieP [682] (John-, Jolin^) ; was born in Ireland, and 
 settled in that part of Londonderry which is now Windham. 
 The farm he owned was situated in Windham Range. The old 
 cellar stands only a few rods from the highway, lying on the 
 same side of the highway as Cobbett's Pond, and a few rods 
 from the hoitse of Benjaniin-F. Senter. This farm was laid out 
 to Archibald Clendennin, of Londonderry, as " amendment land," 
 in 1728, and deeded by him to his son William, who married 
 Hannah Morison, the sister of Charter John Morison. William 
 Clendennin deeded it to Ezekiel Morison. On this place he 
 lived, and died in 1740, leaving a will, in which he appointed 
 his father John Morison and his cousin Lieut. Samuel Morison 
 executors. He left legacies to his brothers Jonathan and Moses, 
 and each of his four sisters. No mention of Avife or children.* 
 The place was deeded by the executors to John Morrow. 
 
 702. Jonathan'^ [683] (John-, John^) ; married Nancy Tufts, 
 a match not particularly to his peace, happiness, or respectability. 
 He was a highly gifted man, with great ingenuity, generous in the 
 extreme, but unfortunately possessed of what is too often the 
 curse of superior endowments, a violent temper, and a want of 
 self-control which sometimes led to intemperance. His early life 
 was spent in Londonderry; indeed, he had the distinction of being 
 the first male child born in Londonderry. He was an orator by 
 nature, and is reported to have been one of the best extempore 
 speakers in the town-meetings in Londonderry. On these occa- 
 sions he was always sure to be pitted against Capt. Samuel Alli- 
 son, who was an equally good talker and fluent s})eaker. On one 
 occasion, when he had been worsted in an intellectual combat, 
 he turned to Captain Allison, and said, in his racy manner, " Ye 
 are a braw S2:>eaker\ but ye dinna tell the truth.''^ 
 
 The following anecdote illustrates his heedless generosity. 
 When leaving his house for town-meeting, he requested his wife 
 to prepare dinner for thirty men that he should bring home to 
 dine with him. He brought home his thirty guests. He went to 
 the kitchen to see what preparations had been made for their din- 
 ner, where he saw a bushel-kettle hung over the fire, full of j)ea

 soup. He comprehended the situation. Passing out to his friends, 
 he told them that Mrs. Morison was very unwell, and that they 
 would go to the tavern M^itli him for dinner. He ordered dinner 
 for his thirty friends, and paid thirty dollars. 
 
 He removed to Peterborough, N. PI., among the first emigrants, 
 in 1749 or '50. For a considerable time he was the only 
 mechanic in the town. " He could turn his hand to any mechan- 
 ical art or trade. He w^as a millwright, a blacksmith, a carpenter, 
 a house-joiner, a stone-cutter, a gun-maker, and had the reputation 
 of being really a workman at all these trades." The first saw and 
 grist mill in Peterborough was built by him in 1751. 
 
 With one more anecdote his history will be closed. "At one of 
 the stores in Peterborough, on a cold Avinter's night, quite a number 
 of people being present, the toddy circulated freely, the company 
 became somewhat boisterous, and, as usual, some of them talked 
 a good deal of nonsense. Mr, Morison, who plumed himself, 
 and not Avithout much reason, upon his talking talent, had made 
 several attempts to get the fioor, in ])arliamentary phrase, and tlie 
 ear of the house. The toddy had done its work too effectually 
 for him, and he gave it u]) as desperate ; and taking a seat in a 
 retired part of the room, he exclaimed, in utter despair, 'A'- 
 weel, a'weel ; here ye are, gab, gab, gab, gab, and common-sense 
 man set ahind the door.' 
 
 " He separated from his wife and removed to Vermont, where 
 he liA'ed for some time. He finally returned to Peterboroiigh, and 
 was killed by a fall from his horse in 1787." * 
 
 703. Jane^ (Mitchell) [684] (John Morison^, John^) ; married 
 Dea. Samuel Mitchell, of Peterborough. He went from London- 
 derry to Peterborough in 1759; was selectman from 1762 to 1766, 
 and was town clerk for thirteen years ; was an influential man in 
 the church and town. His wife died Nov. 11, 1791, aged 70 yrs.;

 721. Capt. John^ [686] (John-, John^). In early life, when 
 learning the blacksmith's trade in Londonderry, he and a number 
 of his youthful comrades were together one evening, Avhen they 
 discussed the priority of trades, — which was the first trade man 
 ever learned, and the best one. A tailor insisted "that the 
 tailor's trade was the first, because Adam and Eve had sewed the 
 fig-leaves together for garments." Young Morison's quick retort 
 was, "that the blacksmith's trade was the first, for the blacksmith 
 made the needle for them to sew the leaves with." This settled 
 the question. The next morning the tailor walked into the shop 
 in an apjiarently sorrowful manner, saying that he had met with 
 a great misfortune in breaking his favorite needle, and he had 
 brought it to the blacksmith's shop to be mended, and asked 
 young Morison if he could do it. "O, yes," said Morison; "I 
 am very busy now, — stick the needle in the beam, and call for 
 it to-morrow morning, and I will have it ready for you." The 
 tailor did as requested, and went away with a smiling countenance. 
 After the tailor's departure, Morison took the needle into the 
 house, and found another resembling the broken one in every 
 particular, except that it was not broken. This he took to the 
 sho*p, held it over the fire, to give it the a])pearance of having 
 been in the fire, filed it a little corresponding to the place Avhere 
 the other was broken, and stuck it in the beam where the other 
 had been left. In the morning the tailor called for his needle, 
 and wanted to know if it "was done." Morison was pounding 
 away vigorously at his anvil, but looking up, said, "Yes; you 
 will find it sticking in the beam." The tailor pulled it out of the 
 beam, looked it over, and finally said, "What is your charge?" 
 "Only a dollar," said Morison. The dollar was paid, and the 
 tailor went forth from that shop a sad and crestfallen man. 
 This was one of Morison's ready-minded jokes. 
 
 He learned the blacksmith's trade with his brother Jonathan, 
 after which he worked in Boston, Mass. In 1759, he was first 
 lieutenant in the militia that was sent from Boston to Louis- 
 burg, in the island of Cape Breton, and assisted in destroying 
 the old French fortifications. He was there three months, and 
 
138 CIIAETER JOHN-^; J0HN3. [721 
 
 was mucli i)leased with the country. He had commenced a farm 
 in Peterborough, N. H., some years before. In the spring of 
 1760, with sixteen others, he went to Truro, N. S. Their families 
 joined them in the spring of 1761. John M orison and Alexander 
 Miller built the first flour-mill in Colchester ever built by the 
 English settlers, and Morison built the first two-story house ever 
 built there, and they took the lumber and material for them from 
 Boston, Mass. In 1767-8, he removed to Londonderry, N. S., where 
 he spent the remainder of his life, with the exception of a few 
 years spent in New Hampshire during tlie Revolutionary war. 
 In 1770 he was elected representative, and took his seat in the 
 assembly. He was the first member ever sent from Londonderry. 
 He served for seven years in parliament, costing him the price of 
 a pair of good fat cattle every winter for his board, as the mem- 
 bers did not receive pay for their services. He was a justice of 
 the peace, and took an active part in the business of the county. 
 He was quick to perceive, and hard to deceive ; was blest with a 
 great memory and a generous spirit. Like most of the race to 
 which he belonged, he possessed positive opinions, which he ex- 
 pressed with fearlessness and ardor. In 1777 he returned to 
 Peterborough, N. IL, to look after some property there, and his 
 family joined him the following year. He bought another farm 
 in Peterborough, and lived there till 1783 or '84, when he and 
 his family returned to Londonderry, N". S. 
 
 The following anecdotes will show the frank, blunt outspoken- 
 ness of the man. Londonderry is in the ancient Acadia from 
 which the French inhabitants had been expelled, and which has 
 been made famous by the poet Longfellow in his pathetic story 
 of Evangeline. Some thirty-five years after its settlement by 
 the English, the lieutenant-governor of the jDrovince visited 
 Truro, and "gentleman .Tohn Morison" was present. He i)os- 
 sessed good talking talents, and soon made the acquaintance of 
 the governor, going around with him and pointing out the various 
 places of note or interest. When he parted from the governor, 
 a proud little kind of a man, who thought himself somebody, and 
 who had followed them about, evidently hoping to get an intro- 
 duction to the distinguished guest, approached and asked if the 
 governor had " said anything about him." " Yes," the old man 
 replied, "he asked me what little bit of a fool body that was that 
 was flying round wanting somebody to take notice of him." 
 
 Another time, the minister got into a dispute with his neighbor 
 about a ])iece of land. He came to "gentleman John," told his 
 story with ajiparent truthfulness, and obtained his consent to go 
 to some public meeting that was ordered, and try and settle the 
 dispute. Pie went to the meeting, told his story as he had it from 
 the minister, took a decided stand for the clergyman, and made 
 his ])Iea. Soon the proof came in; he found he had been deceived, 
 and had made statements that were not true. The matter was 
 not settled ; the minister came again with another story, and 
 wished him to plead his cause. The old man looked sternly at

 him, and said, " I have lied for you till I have worn my tongue 
 out already ; do you want me to lie till I wear my teeth out V I 
 will na do it. Ye may go as soon as ye please." 
 
 One who knew him says : * ''■ He was tall and spare ; never 
 bowed with age ; was a great walker, and sat in the saddle like 
 an officer; a line-looking man, an eloquent speaker, full of wit, 
 and ready with a retort on all occasions." 
 
 Mr. Morisou married, in 1757, Martha Anderson, who lived in 
 the vicinity of Boston. She was born in Paisley, Scotland, in 
 1732. Her father was killed by the Indians while threshing grain 
 in his barn. Martha having gone to the barn with a drink for her 
 father, and seeing the Indians, ran for the house ; but before she 
 reached it, the Indians fired at her, and when she got into the 
 house she found nine bullet-holes in her dress, though she was 
 unhurt." t Mr. Morison died in Londonderry, N. S., Dec. 27, 
 181G, aged 91 yrs. His wife died March 31, 1811, aged 79 yrs.

 and again to Peterborough before 1763, He was an influential 
 man; was chosen representative to Exeter in 1775; served as 
 moderator and selectman, and was a deacon in the Presbyterian 
 church. This good man was a slave-holder, owning two slaves, 
 Baker and Rose. He sold Baker his freedom, and never received 
 any compensation; and in his last will, Aug. 31, 1790, he made 
 it obligatory on his son Ebenezer to maintain the other slave as

 miles to have it ground. The Indians came to his camp one day 
 while he was gone to mill, and stole all his provisions, but did no 
 other damage. He went to Peterborough for a permanent resi- 
 dence about 1750, and was killed on his farm by the falling of a 
 tree, March 30, 1765, aged 39 years. His wife died Nov. 30, 1760, 
 aged 30 years. By his first wife, Hannah Morison, he had two

 of Col. Andrew Todd, one of the early settlers of Londonderry, 
 N.H., where she was born April 14, 1733. The History of Peter- 
 borough, N. H., says : * "Tradition has handed down any amoimt 
 of the sayings, queer exaggerations, and humor of this strange 
 man. It is for this only that his memory has survived him. It 
 grew into a habit witli the people to say, when extravagant ex- 
 pressions and statements were heard, 'like Uncle Mosey,' so ■ 
 peculiar were the witticisms and strange fun with which he 
 always abounded." The following anecdotes show the peculiar 
 element in the man, wherein he " took off " the extreme awkward- 
 ness of two of the early settlers of Peterborough, in their 
 mechanical labors. Speaking of Deacon Duncan's hewing, he 
 said, "As I was ganging thro' the woods, I heard a desprite 
 crackling, and there I found a stick of timber that Deacon 
 Duncan had hewn, sae crooked it could na lie still, but was 
 thrashing about amang the trees. I tauld him he must go and 
 chain it doun, or it wad girdle the hail forest." "Deacon 
 Moore," he said, "made a ladder, and .it was sae twisting, that 
 before lie got lialf-way to the top, he was on the under side, 
 looking vpP 
 
 He lived in Hancock, N. H., near the Half Moon Pond, and 
 died there. The place is now abandoned, and all the buildings 
 have been demolished.

 Fifield, residing, in 1876, in Alton, 111., for the following sketch 
 of h A- father. She says : ' My father, when twenty-one years 
 of age, could read the Bible, and knew a little of arithmetic. 
 His first use of his freedom was to raise a crop of rye, from the 
 proceeds of which he supported himself at school at Exeter some 
 six months, and gained, with other acquisitions, the rudiments of 
 Latin. With this scanty provision of education, he began his 
 life's work. . . . He was early made a justice of the peace, and 
 did most of the justice business in Peterborough, N. H., for many 
 years. . . . He was moderator in 1793, '97, '98, '99, 1801; repre- 
 sentative to the General Court from 1791 to 1803. . . . 8]ieaking 
 evil of no one, and judging all men kindly as he would himself 
 be judged, he exercised a kindly and genial, as well as a strong, 
 influence over his fellow-men.' His sudden death spread a gloom 
 over the town hardly ever felt before." He res. Peterborough,

 834. Judge Jeremiah Smith-* [717] (Elizabeth^ (Smith), John 
 Morison'-, John^). He Avas lawyer, governor, judge of the United 
 States district court, and chief-justice of the superior court of 
 New Hampshire. " He would have been recognized as a leading 
 man anywhere. As a wit or a scholar, as a statesman or a jurist, 
 as an advocate at the bar or a judge on the bench, as a genial 
 companion or a brilliant talker, he would have been received, in- 
 deed he was received, as their peer by the ablest and most accom- 
 plished men in the land. . . . He was among the most eminent 
 men that New Hampshire has ever produced. If, as has been 
 said in relation to an early period of New Hampshire history, 
 'there were giants in those days,' he was certainly among these 
 giants. He was an eminently great and good man. All his efforts 
 were exerted for the honor and benefit of bis State; and few men 
 have accomplished so much as he did in elevating his jn-ofession, 
 the law, then in a low condition, to a true and honorable basis, 
 even to a high standard. His memory will be long cherished as 
 one of the public benefactors of New Hampshire. . . . He com- 
 menced the practice of law in Peterborough, N. H., in 1787, where 
 he remained ten years. During this time he represented the toAvn 
 in the legislature in 1788, '89, '90 ; was a member of the conven- 
 tion that formed the present constitution in 1791, '92. He took 
 an active and important part in the deliberations of that body. 
 . , . His vote was cast for expunging that clause of the consti- 
 tution by which 'no person can be capable of being elected a 
 senator or representative Avho is not of the Protestant religion,' 
 an article which was stricken from the constitution of New Hamp- 
 shire in 1877. In 1790 he was chosen a representative to the 
 second congress, and was continued for three successive terms. 
 He here formed an acquaintance Avith all the great men of that 
 period, and was upon terms of intimacy Avith that remarkable 
 
146 CHARTER JOHN^; ELIZABETH SMITHS; JEREMIAH SMITH+. [835 
 
 man, Fisher Ames, which continued through his life. In 1797 he 
 removed to Exeter, and AA^as that year appointed United States 
 attorney for the district of Ncav Hampshire. At the same time 
 he resigned his ottice as member of Congress. In 1800 he Avas 
 appointed judge of probate for the county of Rockingham, and 
 held the office about two years. In February, 1801, he Avas a])- 
 pointed a judge of the United States district court, but on the 
 repeal of the judiciary law, in March, 1802, his office Avas abolished ; 
 but in May of the same year he AA^as appointed chief-justice of 
 the superior court of judicature in New Hampshire. He held 
 this office till 1809, Avhen he AA^as chosen governor of the State; 
 but failing of a re-election, he returned to the bar. Under a ncAV 
 judiciary act in 1813, Mr. Smith Avas reluctantly induced to ac- 
 cept the office of chief-justice, Avhich office he held till 1816, when 
 the judiciary act Avas rescinded by the legislature, and he once 
 more returned to the practice of law. In 1820, at the age of 
 sixty-one, he Avithdrew from active business, having acquired an 
 ample fortune by the fruits of his industry and judicious econ- 
 omy." * To those Avho Avish to knoAV more of this remarkable 
 man, I Avould refer them to an excellent life of Judge Smith, 
 written by John H. Morison, d. d., of Boston, Mass., published 
 in 1845. Judge Smith received the honorary degree of LL. D.

 N. H., and spent his life there. He was a deacon in the church, 
 long a leader of the choir. He was selectman six years, and rep- 
 resentative to the general court eight years. He was a man of a 
 strong mind, which had been long maturing, and he felt very 
 little of the withering effects of age, although he had nearly 
 reached eighty years. His knowledge was not very general, 
 though he was a great reader; but on some subjects he was 
 exceedingly well informed. His reading had taken a theological 
 turn, and but few persons possessed his knowledge on these mat- 
 ters. He was a strong Unitarian, and was ready to give any man 
 a reason for his faitli. He was a man of kind affections and 
 feelings, yet strong in his prejudices, and rather more ready 
 to forgive an injury than forget it. His life was a useful one, 
 he having at various times held all the offices in the gift of the 
 town ; but it was mostly spent in the retirement of his own home, 
 and in the management of his own affairs. He was a modest 
 man; he Avas a good man, — good without ostentation and 
 without pretension; his life showed forth the man, for it was a 
 living and preaching illustration of Jesus. He lived and died 
 on the same spot on which he was born. He Avent down to his 
 grave like a shock of corn fully ripe, with as pure and upright 
 a character as falls to the lot of few mortals here below." *

 854. Samuel Smith'' [720] (Elizabeth^ (Smith), John Morison-, 
 John^). In addition to the common advantages for schooling at 
 his home in Peterborough, N. H., he enjoyed longer or shorter 
 periods at the academies at Exeter, and Andover, Mass., and 
 thereby fitted himself for an accomplished talker and a ready 
 debater on almost any topic. He was a man of a strong and 
 highly cultivated intellect, with exceedingly active and energetic 
 powers, of quick perception and ready judgment. He was ])ar- 
 ticularly distinguished for his colloquial powers, Avhich were 
 remarkable ; his conversation was always rich and instructive ; 
 and his ideas were clothed in singularly accurate and appropriate 
 language. It is not too much to say that in the height of liis

 prosperity he exerted over the community an elevating and 
 enliglitening influence ; that he was by his character and intelli- 
 gence a public educator, and raised and sustained the tone of 
 public sentiment in Peterborough, IST. H. He delighted in politics, 
 and had devoted much attention and study to it, never Avishing 
 to be known by any other title than that of a federalist of the old 
 school, with all the unmerited reproach attached to the name. 
 He was chosen to represent his district in congress in 1813-15, 
 but on account of the press of his private business, he resigned 
 his seat, after attending the first session and a part of the second. 
 He possessed great business talents, and could accomplish a great 
 undertaking with singular dispatch and success ; but he scorned 
 little things, and all care and economy of these he entirely 
 ignored. The consequence of this was, that he never had things 
 well done, however shrewdly projected. He always had a nice 
 sense of right. There are few acts of his long business life on 
 which you can lay your hand, and say that they were the result 
 of any moral obliquity. He was kind, benevolent, and forbeai'ing 
 in an eminent degree with those who were dependent on him. 
 He had great faith in mankind ; he was never heard, with all his 
 hard experience in life, to rail at our race. He had acquired a 
 great knowledge of mankind, and did not lose his respect for 
 them by an extensive intercourse. He always took a deep inter- 
 est in the municipal affairs of the town, and was a leading actor 
 in the same. He was moderator for seventeen years, beginning 
 in 1794 and ending in 1829. He may justly be considered the 
 founder of the village of Peterborough, IS!". H., where not one 
 single object exists to perpetuate his name. 
 
 He married Sally Garfield, of Fitchburg, Mass., daughter of 
 Elijah and Jane-Nichols Garfield, Nov. 10, 1793 ; born Oct. 21, 
 1771. She died Sept. 1, 1856, aged 85 yrs. He died April 25,

 in his History of Peterborough, X. H. (published in 1870), says: 
 " For the following interesting account of the family of Mr. Mor- 
 ison, I am indebted to Rev. John H. ]\Iorison, d. d., one of the 
 sons." From this account I take the following sketch. 
 
 "My father, Xathaniel Morison, was the only one of my grand- 
 father's children who had more than ordinary ability. Ezekiel, 
 his youngest son, was a man of correct and industrious habits. 
 He died young in Mississippi. Xathaniel was born Oct. 11, 1779. 
 In 1802, he w^ent with an invoice of chairs to some place in the 
 West Indies ; but finding no market for them there, he took 
 them to Wilmington, X. C. After disposing of them he went to 
 Fayetteville, in the same State, and entered into the business of 
 making carriages. In 1804, he came to Xew I^ngland, and 
 mari-ied Mary-Ann Ho])kins, who was born in that part of Lon- 
 donderry which is now Windham, and returned to his business in 
 Fayetteville, with his wife, where he remained till 1807. Then, 
 at the urgent solicitation of his father, he came back to Peter- 
 borough, and settled down with his wife and daughter, having 
 bought his father's farm. He brought with him $5,000 in specie, 
 and there were still considerable sums of money due to him at 
 the South. In five years he had laid up between six and seven 
 thousand dollars. He was not fitted to be a farmer. The success 
 of a more extended enterprise, and tlie habits formed in a differ- 
 ent sphere, made him restless under its slow and limited opera- 
 tions. In 1811, I believe, he returned to Fayetteville, to settle 
 up liis affairs there. . . . Three or four years more passed by, 
 
 * She was the granddaughter of John Hopkins and Elizabeth Dinsmoor, 
 the daughter of John Dinsmoor (known as " Daddy " Dinsmoor, of Wind- 
 ham), the emigrant ancestor of all the persons of tliat name in London- 
 derry and Windliani, and who settled in Londonderry, N. H., previous 
 to 1730.

 when he purchased for $10,000 what was then called the South 
 Factory, and devoted all his energies to that and kindred enter- 
 prises. He put up a building for the manufacture of fine linen, 
 particularly table-cloths. The women in Peterborough and the 
 neighboring towns were famous for their labors at the distaff. 
 The object^ of this new nndertaking was to weave, by improved 
 processes, the linen yarn that was spun in the vicinity. The looms 
 were worked by hand, but by what was called a spring shuttle, 
 then a new invention. In connection with these factories, my 
 father, now a militia captain, opened a small store, and he had 
 upon his hands all that he could attend to. 
 
 "But he had chosen an unfortunate time for these investments. 
 The war with England was soon over. The country was flooded 
 with foreign goods. There was no sale for our domestic products. 
 The factories were closed. His little competence melted away. 
 He was embarrassed with debts. His farm and factory ]>roperty 
 were heavily mortgaged. For all industrial enterprises, the term 
 from 1815 to 1820 was a period of greater de])ression than any 
 other period of five years during the present century. After 
 struggling in vain with adverse events, and with embarrassments 
 which were' constantly increasing, he went to Mississippi, in the 
 fall of 1817, to collect a considerable debt that was due him there. 
 He carried out with him a few cases of axes and shoes, which he 
 disposed of at a good profit. He collected his debt so as to reach 
 home in the spring of 1818. 
 
 "While he was at Natchez, he became acquainted with several 
 gentlemen of large fortunes, and made a contract with them to 
 supply the city with water by means of lead pipes, for -^30,000. 
 On reaching home, he engaged a competent man in New Hamp- 
 shire to lay the pipes, and in the autumn of 1818, he went out 
 with a larger supj^ly of axes, plows, and shoes. But the boat 
 which carried a part of his merchandise struck a snag and sunk 
 in the Mississippi, and when he reached Natchez, and had made 
 all his arrangements, and got his men and materials there to sup- 
 ply the city with water, the Southern gentlemen repudiated the 
 contract which he supposed they had made, and the whole enter- 
 prise, with consequences ruinous to all his hopes, was thrown 
 back upon him. He had recourse again to his old occupation, 
 and endeavored to gain a little money by working as a wheel- 
 wright and carriage-maker. But disappointment, anxiety, and 
 the hot, malarious summer climate there were too mi;ch for 
 him. He was taken down with the yellow fever, and after a few 
 days of severe suffering, in which he was carefully attended by 
 his brother Ezekiel, and his townsman, John Scott, Jr., he died 
 on the eleventh day of September, 1810, just before he had com- 
 pleted his fortieth year. Rumors of his death had already reached 
 us, when, on a cold, cloudy November Satui'day afternoon, I, then 
 a boy of eleven, Avalked to the village to see if any letter had come 
 by the mail. On entering your father's (Samuel Smith's) store 
 just before dark, I heard the people talking of the report, and, as

 they did not know me, they kept on with their conversation till 
 I had received the letter. I had a sad journey home in the dark 
 night, and the burst of grief with wliich the first line of the lettei- 
 w^as greeted was more than I could bear. The next morning, my 
 grandfather called us all together to prayers, as the custom was 
 of a Sunday morning, and I shall never forget the solemnity and 
 pathos with which the old man, with trembling hands and a voice 
 broken with emotion, read the third chapter of Lamentations: 'I 
 am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He 
 hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.' 
 
 "A month or two before, when news of the falling through of 
 the Natchez enterprise had reached this part of the country, the 
 sheriff had come to our house and taken possession of everything 
 that the law alloAved him to take. . . . After my father's death, 
 we remained in the old homestead through the winter, till Mareli 
 or April, 1820. My mother had for her portion a shell of a house 
 near the South Factory, and $800. It required half the money 
 to convert the old 'weaving shop' into a tolerable residence. I 
 remember well the earnest gaze and the deep sigh with which, 
 on leaving our early home, where all her children but one had 
 been born, she looked back upon it, with a baby on each arm, 
 and then turned slowh^ away towards her new home. She had 
 been left alone in the fall of 1818 with seven children, the oldest 
 thirteen years, and the two youngest four months. All her means 
 of support consisted in a half-finished house, two cows, and four or 
 five hundred dollars. She had a most delicate, sensitive nature, but 
 a force of will and amount of executive energy such as I have 
 never seen surpassed. In my remembrance of her, as she was 
 during the early period of her widowhood, I always think of her 
 sitting at her loom, working and weejiing. She did not stop to 
 indulge in discouraging apprehensions, but emphasized her grief 
 by driving her shuttle with increased promptness and vehemence. 
 With a resolution that almost broke her heart, she put her two 
 oldest boys, one eleven and the other nine years old, into farmers' 
 families to work for their living. Lessons of honest industry and 
 helpfulness and self-dependence were thus learned. If there was 
 a great deal of suffering on their part and on hers, caused by 
 severe labor and a divided household, habits Avere formed which 
 contributed largely to whatever measure of usefulness or success 
 they may have attained. The heaviest burden rested upon our 
 oldest sister, whose ability and willingness to help all the rest, 
 shut her out from the advantages of education which the others 
 enjoyed. 
 
 " My father was endowed with abilities ill adapted to liis call- 
 ing, and very much beyond what Avas required by the sphere in 
 which he lived. He read the best books with a keen delight. 
 The few letters of his which I have seen showed marks of a 
 mental strength and culture superior to what we usually lind in 
 the corresi)ondence even of the city merchants who lived at that 
 time. ... If he could have had the educational advantages 
 
160 CHARTER JOHN-!; THOMAS^ ; ROBERT^; NATHANIEL\ [1034 
 
 which his sons enjoyed, I have no doubt that he would have been 
 one of the most distinguished among all the natives of Peterbor- 
 ough. As it was, his lot Avas a very hard one, and his life very 
 sad. lie was a man of delicate sensibilities and generous im- 
 pulses. He was fitted for intellectual pursuits, and Avould have 
 made an admirable lawyer. But he had no special aptness for 
 mechanical employments or for trade. His thoughts moved in a 
 different s})here. I have heard his social and conversational 
 qualities very highly spoken of. But he had no special aptitude 
 or taste for the sort of life that was put upon him. After the 
 success of his early days, which certainly indicated no common 
 ability even in uncongenial pursuits, he failed in almost every- 
 thing that he undertook. His plan for introducing improved 
 methods of manufacturing linen cloth showed originality of mind 
 and no lack of judgment. Nor could any one, situated as he was, 
 be likely to anticipate the disastrous effects of peace on our 
 domestic industries. And no honorable man would suspect the 
 arbitrary repudiation of a contract like that he had made in 
 Natchez. But the disappointment was not, on that account, any 
 the less severe to him. He became disheartened and unhappy. 
 
 "My mother's father, John Hopkins, of Windham, N. H., was a 
 farmer. He was a man of an easy, happy temperament, who, it was 
 said, would sit at work on his shoemaker's bench in winter and 
 sing Scotch songs all day long, without repeating a single song. 
 His wife, however, Isabella Eeid, was of a very different temper- 
 ament, and belonged to a family of very marked and ])owerful 
 chai-acteristics. She was a woman of strong convictions, and of 
 great energy of mind and body. She, like her daughter Mary- 
 Ann, could do two or three days' work in one, and had no patience 
 with the idleness or inefficiency of other ])eople. She probably did 
 for the Hopkinses what Margaret Wallace had done for the Mor- 
 isons three generations before, and introduced into the race a 
 much more energetic type of character. She lived to a great age, 
 with her son James Hopkins, in Antrim, N. H. . . . Not long 
 before her death, I saw her in Antrim ; she was very feeble and 
 very kind. Just before I left her, she unlocked a private drawer 
 and took from it two silver half-dollars wliich she asked me to give 
 to my mother. I was greatly affected by her kindness, for it was 
 ])robably nearly all the money that she had. 
 
 "Here is a slight sketch of those who have gone before us, 
 and whose lives ai-e transmitted through our veins to those who 
 shall come after us. I believe in inherited qualities; but it is 
 difficult to reconcile with this belief the very different qualities 
 of those Avho inherit the same blood. . . . We sometimes seem to 
 recognize different ancestors in our different moods and feelings 
 at different times. When I am indulging in the thought of 
 projects vastly beyond my ability to carry out, I feel my great- 
 great-grandmother, the ambitious Margaret Wallace, stirring my 
 blood, and call to mind my grandfather's caution to his son to 
 remember that his name was Morison, and not iindertake more

 than he could do. When I feel very much fixed in any decision, 
 and unwilling to be reasoned out of it, right or wrong, I feel 
 something of the Holmes obstinacy rising up within my veins. 
 When I am in an easy, indolent mood, and disposed to let the 
 day go by without effort, in pleasant dreams, I think of my grand- 
 father Hopkins, whose name I bear, and his Scotch songs. If I 
 ever succeed in strijiping off its surroundings, and looking calmly 
 and clearly into a difficult and important subject, without preju- 
 dice on either side, I rejoice to feel that I have in me something 
 of the mild, unbiassed good sense of the Smiths, as they were 
 before they were united with the Morisons. In this way I lead 
 different lives, and feel myself swayed by widely different im- 
 pulses, and brought under the influence of different ancestors, 
 according to the mood that happens to be uppermost. Some- 
 times I feel as if I were my father, looking out from his eyes and 
 walking in his gait ; and then I detect the mother in the earnest- 
 ness with which I find myself gazing on some person before me, 
 as your uncle. Judge Jeremiah Smith, seemed to see his sister 
 Betty when he put on her cap and looked at himself in the glass."

 compelled him to pursue a mercantile calling. About 1824, he 
 removed to New York City, and entered into business as mer- 
 chant tailor and clothier. In 1845 he engaged in the manufac-

 trious habits, of a clear mind and great decision of character.

1131] FIFTH GENERATION. — ROBERT SMITH. 167 
 
 1127. Hon. Robert Smith" [824] (John Smitll^ Elizabeth^ 
 (Smith), John Morison'-, John^) ; in 1821 he entered the Smith- 
 ville Manufacturing Co., of Northfield, N. H., where he remained 
 till 1832, when he removed to Illinois, and pitched his tent at 
 Alton, near which was a traders' post of some note, called St.^ 
 Louis. He rose rapidly to distinction in political life, and was 
 chosen to the 28th Congress from the district in which he liA'ed, 
 and served from 1843 to 1849. In politics he was a democrat. 
 In the late war of the rebellion he was appointed U. S. paymas- 
 ter. He was a man of strict integrity, and of a very genial 
 nature, possessing uncommonly popular talents. He held a strong- 
 power over the popular will. He married, Nov. 3, 1828, Sarah-P. 
 Bingham, of Lempster, Mass. He died at Alton, 111., Dec. 21, 
 1867, aged 65 years.

 1130. James Smith^ [825] (John SmithS Elizabeth^ (Smith), 
 John Morison-, John^) ; married. May 15, 1832, Persis Garland, 
 of Franklin, N. H. " After spending some five years in business 
 in New York, he formed a copartnership with his brother, Wil- 
 liam-H. Smith, and their brother-in-law, John Cavender, under 
 the firm-name of Smith Brothers & Co., and commenced business 
 in St. Louis, May, 1833, which was successful under his untiring 
 energy and cautious, prudent management, till the 'big fire of 
 1849,' when the old firm dissolved, showing a prosperous business 
 in spite of losses by the disastrous fire. In 1851, a new copart- 
 nership was formed, in which George Partridge was associated 
 with James and William-H. Smith, under the style of Partridge 
 & Co., the Smiths only to render such service in the business as 
 suited their inclinations. It is but justice to say that the con- 
 tinued prosperity of the new firm was quite as much due to the 
 cautious, prudent counsel and management of James Smith as 
 was that of the old company. The Smiths withdrew from this 
 copartnership in 1863. James Smith, after an unremitting ser- 
 vice of more than thirty years, retired to wisely consider how he 
 could best discharge the ' trust of a beneficent Providence,' in 
 the disposition of his earnings and savings. He chose the sensi- 
 ble plan of becoming his own executor, and the "Washington 
 University and kindred institutions of the city of his adoption 
 bear amjde testimony to the wisdom or folly of his example."* 
 He died Oct. 15, 1877; no children.

 ter of Samuel and Sally-G. Smith. He res. at Franklin, N. H., 
 from 1822 to 1833, then removed to St. Louis. When he retired

 knowledge; was a man of rare excellence of character, of great 
 purity of life, the very soul of honor and integrity. His 
 memory is embalmed in many hearts that will not forget him.

 his return lie rem. to Philadelphia, Pa., studied law, was admitted 
 to the bar, and became eminent. He possessed too much con- 
 science for that profession, and left it in disgust ; rem. to St. 
 Louis, and became a teacher. He soon received a position as sub- 
 editor of a ])aper. He tired of that and again went to teaching,, 
 first at St. Joseph, Mo., when his health failed, and he rem. to 
 Texas, where he spent two years. The climate did not suit him, 
 and he went to the warm climate of the island of Jamaica, and 
 became a teacher. Said one in speaking of him, " He was well 
 educated, a philosopher of no mean order, quick to take learning, 
 and had a very retentive memory to hold it. Shrewd and watty 
 from the cradle, he became dignified under the refining influence 
 of a classical education, and could not sit patiently and hear any 
 one talk nonsense. He was a splendid orator. He was admitted 
 by his friends to be the sharpest and most clever man in the con- 
 nection in Xova Scotia." Is now principal of Church of England

 1414. Thomas-F.5 [903] (Joseph-A.S John^ John^ Johni). 
 Hon. Thomas-F. Morrison was born in Londonderry, X. S. His 
 early life was s]ient on his father's farm, and his spare time was 
 employed in making bricks. He loved the water, and for seven 
 successive seasons, in the spring of the year, he followed cod- 
 fishing in boats in the Basin of Mines and along the Parrsboro' 
 shore. In 1829 he engaged in mackerel-fishing at the mouth of 
 the Bay of Fundy. In 1830 he went to sea, and being a good 
 navigator, soon became master of a vessel, and spent his summers 
 on the water for many years, till he was married, Avhen he bought 
 a small property in Londonderry, N. S. At this time he was 
 chosen as arbitrator on disputed questions. 
 
 In 1846 he and a cousin built a schooner, which he sailed 
 for ten years, trading between ISTova Scotia, IS'ew Brunswick, and 
 ports of the United States. While in parliament in 1859, this 
 vessel was lost in the ice through the carelessness of a subaltern. 
 There was no insurance on her, and the loss was a heavy blow to 
 him. P^'rom 1836 to 1860, he was often engaged in rigging new 
 vessels. He was very minute and exact in his calculations, seldom 
 making mistakes. He never required figures before him for ordi- 
 nary business transactions, as calculations were carried on accu- 
 rately and quickly in his mind. He is a massive man, intellectu- 
 ally and physically. He possesses astuteness of mind, keenness 
 of perception, a strong musical voice, and is an orator of no mean 
 order. His poAvers of imitation are great, and in his boyhood it 
 is said that he could imitate the voice of man, beast, or bird so as 
 to deceive the keenest listener. From 1850 to 1855 he was prom- 
 inent in management of affairs of the church and the town. In 
 1855 he was elected member of the parliament of Nova Scotia 
 from the north district of Colchester County. In 1859 he was 
 again elected. In 1863 he was appointed immigration agent for 
 Nova Scotia, also surveyor of ship]nng for the port of London- 
 derry. The latter position he still holds. His friends losing con- 
 trol of the Government, he was dismissed as immigration agent. 
 He was again elected to parliament in 1867 and in 1871. In 1873, 
 both parties desired him to be a candidate for the Dominion par- 
 liament. He refused, being decidedly opposed to the financial 
 arrangement made for Nova Scotia, when she was forced into the 
 Dominion against the wishes of her people. In 1874, he was 
 again a candidate for parliament, but was defeated. In 1876 he 
 Avas appointed to the legislative council, which seat he holds dur- 
 ing life or good behavior. He was fifteen years in parliament. 
 He introduced and carried through the bill for voting by ballot. 
 In 1864 he was one of seven who revised the provincial statutes. 
 When in parliament, he took an active part in all important busi-

 ness, mingling freely in the debates. He would never attack a 
 fellow-member, but when attacked, he was very aggressive, not 
 caring who his opponent was, and often crossed swords with the 
 ablest men in the province. Sarcasm and wit were powerful 
 weapons with him, and he often made the house and galleries ring 
 with laughter at the expense of an opponent. He is quick to 
 detect an error in a bill. His knowledge of common law, and 
 correct interpretation of statute law, make him a formidable 
 antagonist of legal minds in the house, and enable him to carry 
 a measure against tlie opposition of able lawyers. He was again 
 appointed immigration agent in 1868, and resigned in 1870. In 
 1873 he was appointed delegate to the Dominion government at 
 Ottawa, in company with the provincial secretary and premier, 
 who was also treasurer of Nova Scotia. In the winter of 1879 
 he introduced and carried through the legislative council of Nova 
 Scotia, in spite of strong opposition, a bill reducing the pay of 
 officers of the government, and curtailing the expenses of the 
 province. 
 
 He married Hannah Faulkner, in 1838 ; she died June 19, 1842.

 I remained at home till April 15, 1820. At the age of three, I 
 began to attend school in the summer, but after I was six years 
 old my services on the farm were thought too valuable to be dis- 
 pensed with, and from that time forth till I was sixteen I went to 
 school only in the winter, from eight to twelve weeks in a year. 
 In the autumn of 1819, my father died, and his family was left in 
 great affliction and in very straitened circumstances. From 1820 
 to 1824, I lived with different farmers in the town, working hard, 
 faring as well as they did, and receiving but scanty wages, never, 
 I think, more than (ifty dollars a year, even when I did neaily a 
 man's work. I look back upon those four years as the most 
 unhappy pei'iod of my life. The change from our own home to 
 a place with strangers was a painful one, not because I was treated 
 unkindly, but from a feeling that I Avas fatherless and homeless, 
 and from a longing for a better companionship and better means 
 of education. My principal solace was to spend the Sunday, 
 once in a month or two, at my mother's house. My greatest hap- 
 piness, intellectually, was in reading, often by fire-light, with my 
 head in a perilously hot place. The books I enjoyed most were 
 the Bible, Rollin's Ancient History, Gibbon's Rome, and an odd 
 volume or two of Josephus. 
 
 "In October, 1824, I went to Exeter, X. H. Before leaving 
 Peterborough, I had for six weeks attended a private school kept 
 by Mr. Addison Brown, then a student in Harvard College. He 
 had very rare gifts as a teacher. I felt that my intellectual nature 
 was then for the first time waked up, and life assumed for me a 
 new meaning. During the winter, in Exeter, I attended an even- 
 ing school taught by Mr. Richard Hildreth, a man of fine genius, 
 who took great interest in my studies." The succeeding summer 
 he entered Phillips Academy, at Exeter. He says , " Hei'e a new 
 world was opening before me ; every branch of study seemed to 
 offer a new deliglit. Even the ])rimary elements of Latin and 
 Greek had for me a singular fascination, and every step was an 
 advance into a sort of fairy-land. I shall never forget the sensa- 
 tions of keen enjoyment with which I read the Odes of Horace, 
 the Iliad of Homer, the Bucolics of Virgil and of Theocritus, or 
 the utter absorption of mind with which I went through the 
 higher branches of algebra and geometry, and most of all the 
 conic sections. I remained in the academy four years, three as a 
 scholar and one mostly as a teacher, ])ursuing my sophomore 
 studies by myself. I owe a great debt of gratitude to the teach- 
 ers there, especially to Dr. Abbot and Dr. Soule. 
 
 "In 1827-8 I had become acquainted with William Smith, a 
 gifted, accomplished, generous young man. He introduced me 
 to his father, the Hon. Jeremiah Smith, who, in brilliancy and 
 strength of mind, in accuracy and extent of learning, and the 
 higlier qualities of his character, was fitted to take, as he did, an 
 honorable place among the ablest of our distinguished men. In 
 August, 1828, he invited me to become a member of his family, 
 and I remained there a year, during which time his daughter died.

 Their illness and departure, especially the rapid and fatal decline 
 of his daughter, a most lovely and interesting woman, took me 
 through a wholly new experience. This life could never again be 
 to me Avhat it had been before. The light of worlds beyond 
 had been let in upon it. 
 
 "In August, lb29, I was admitted to tlie junior class in Harvard 
 College. Of the hundred dollars which 1 had saved from my 
 earnings during the previous year, I Avas required to pay ninety 
 for instruction which I had not been able to receive during the 
 freshman and sophomore years of my class. But notwithstanding 
 this exaction, which always seemed to me unjust, I have every 
 reason to speak of my Alma Mater with grateful affection and 
 respect. The last generation of American statesmen numbered 
 among its distinguished men no grander example of a faithful, 
 disinterested, able public man than Josiah Quincy, then president 
 of HarA'ard University. He Avas kind to me from the beginning, 
 and his kindness continued doAvn to the last year of his useful 
 and honored life. I taught school during six of the tAventy-four 
 months of my college course, so that 1 Avas really in college a 
 little less than a year and a half. I earned Avhat little I could, 
 and practised a pretty severe economy. My ex])enses Avere small, 
 and Judge Smith had generously and very judiciously so arranged 
 matters, that I neA^er felt any great anxiety in regard to my im- 
 mediate Avants. I began life Avith nothing. I never haA^e asked 
 pecuniary assistance for myself. And yet I have never been 
 unable to meet my engagements. Sometimes I could not see a 
 month beforehand hoAv the means could be procured, but they 
 always came, and sometimes from the most unexpected sources. 
 
 "On graduating in 1^31, I concluded to study hiAv, having en- 
 gaged to pursue my studies Avith a A^ery learned lawyer of Balti- 
 more, and to meet my expenses by instructing his children. On 
 account of this engagement I declined several advantageous offers 
 of emj^loyment as a teacher. After Avaiting several Aveeks, when 
 the time for such offers had passed by, the gentleman sent me 
 Avord that he had engaged another young man, and Avould not 
 need my services. This Avas a very great disapj)ointment to me. 
 It left me without occupation and Avithout means of support, but 
 it taught me a lesson as to the sacredness of engagements that has 
 always been of service to me. I remained in Cambridge through 
 the fall and winter, teaching a few pujnls, and attending some of 
 the lectures of the divinity school. At that time I became ac- 
 quainted Avith Henry Ware, Jr., and his Avife, and had a room in 
 their house. In a social and religious point of vieAv, that season 
 Avas a very profitable one to me. It gave me time to reconsider 
 my choice of a profession, and enabled me to approach the sub- 
 ject Avith different feelings and a better understanding. 
 
 "In March, 1882, I began to teach a small ]irivate school for 
 young ladies in ISTcav Bedford, and remained there a year. That 
 year Avas perha])s the most important in my life. I Avas then for

 the first time a man among men. I had leisure for study, and 
 devoted myself to it with the utmost intensity and enthusiasm. 
 I read Cicero's philosophical writings, Cousin, Pascal, Madame de 
 Stael, Dante, some of the old English prose-writers, Wordsworth, 
 and above all in its influence on my mind, Coleridge, especially 
 his Friend and Biographia Literaria. In the winter I gave a 
 course of seven lectures on literary subjects to a very intelligent 
 audience of perhaps a hundred persons. This was a new and 
 exciting experience. It made me feel the responsibility of acting 
 on theniinds of others. But I had overworked during the win- 
 ter, and from the middle of March till the last of August, 1833, 
 spent most of the time in Peterborough, in a state of physical 
 exhaustion which I did not understand. Among the great advan- 
 tages which I enjoyed in New Bedford, especially in the society 
 of very intelligent people, that which I valued above all the rest 
 was the privilege of hearing Dr. Dewey preach. It was the 
 most quickening and uplifting preaching that I have ever heard, 
 and of itself made an epoch in my life. 
 
 "At the beginning of the academical year 1833, I joined the 
 middle class at the Cambridge Divinity School, Avhich was then 
 under the able and conscientious charge of John-Gorham Palfrey 
 and the Henry Wares, father and son. There was an extraordi- 
 nary vitality and and enthusiasm in the school at that time, 
 especially in regard to philanthropical movements. I entered 
 very heartily into these subjects, and took an earnest part in the 
 preparation of elaborate papers and in the debates. Both my 
 moral convictions and my philosophy went much deeper, and 
 looked to a much more thorough and radical reform than was 
 usually contemplated in the social movements of the day. I was 
 perhaps considered too conservative, because I was too radical to 
 be satisfied with the superficial measures that were suggested by 
 the most zealous reformers. The labor question, which is just 
 beginning to cast its portentous shadows before it now, was one 
 on which I prepared a report that cost a vast amount of labor, and 
 which came to conclusions that are now beginning to engage the 
 attention of thoughtful men. During a temporary vacancy in 
 the department, I taught political economy to the senior class of 
 undergraduates, and read nearly everything that had then been 
 published on that great but still incomplete science. I prepared 
 two lectures for the Exeter Lyceum, and did not slight my 
 studies in the Divinity School. In this way I overtasked my 
 physical powers. In May, 1834, 1 had a slight attack of typhoid 
 fever, with a determination of blood to the head. After two or 
 three weeks, I went to my mother's in Peterborough. But the 
 disease did not leave me. I spent nearly a year in a dark room, 
 unable to sit up, or to bear the presence of even a near friend. 
 A strong constitution was seriously broken. For thirty years 
 afterwards I was not able to do more than one third the amount 
 of mental labor which had once been a healthful and hapjiy exer- 
 cise. This was a constantly recurring grief and disappointment.

 SIXTH GENERATION. — JOHN-HOPKINS MORISON. 199 
 
 "For five years I was able to do very little hard work. I 
 preached but seldom, and was not a candidate for settlement as 
 a minister. I supported myself as a private teacher in New Bed- 
 ford, and was very happy in the home that was open to me. In 
 May, 1838, I was settled as associate pastor, with Rev. Ephraim 
 Peabody, over the First Congregational Society in New Bed- 
 ford. My relation to him and to tlie society was a happy one. I 
 could not haye been associated with a better man. He had a lofty 
 ideal of intellectual, moral, and religious culture. He was of a most 
 generous and guileless nature, and was as much interested in my 
 success as in his own. The five years of my New Bedford min- 
 istry Avere years of great enjoyment and improvement. During 
 that time, in October, 1841, I was married to Miss Emily-Hurd 
 Eogers, of Salem ; and in December of the following year, my 
 eldest son, George-S. Morrison, was born. 
 
 "In September, 1843, I gave up my salary, and asked leave of 
 absence for an indefinite time. This I did ])artly because Mr, 
 Peabody's health was then such as to enable him to go on with 
 his work alone, and partly in the hope that change of scene and 
 entire freedom from professional care for a year or two might 
 re-establish my own health. During this vacation I prepared the 
 life of my early benefactor and kinsman, Jeremiah Smith. In 
 the autumn of 1845, I resigned my office in New Bedford, and 
 in January, 1846, became the pastor of the First Congregational 
 Parish in Milton, Mass., where I have continued to this day. The 
 society is small ; the duties of the place have not been oppressive ; 
 the people have been veiy indulgent. Among them I have found 
 men and women whom it has been a great joy and privilege to 
 know as friends. I could ask for no higher or more exciting 
 employment than to do everything in my power for their instruc- 
 tion and improvement. If there has been little to feed any lower 
 ambition, there has been a great deal to cherish the best affections. 
 The highest thought that I have been able to reach has always 
 found a hospitable welcome. My one aim in life has been to prove 
 myself in all things a faithful minister of Christ ; and even in the 
 apparently narrow sphere in which my lot has been cast, I have 
 found abundant op])ortunity for the exercise of all my faculties. 
 I have written and published a commentary on the Gospel of St. 
 Matthew, and had hoped to extend the work so as to include the 
 other evangelists. At different times I have edited the Christian 
 Register and the Religious Magazine or Unitarian Review. But 
 the work of an editor was never to my taste. The pulpit, the 
 parochial labors, and above all, the studies of a Christian minister, 
 have had for me greater attractions than any other office or calling. 
 They have been to me always a sufficient stimulus and reward. 
 When drawn away from them by failing health, it has been an 
 unspeakable happiness to come back to them again. 
 
 "In 1870 I asked for a colleague, that I might be able to com- 
 plete my work on the Gospels. But other duties providentially 
 U

 put u]ion me filled xip my time. After nearly three years of 
 faithful and intelligent labor in his profession, my dear friend and 
 associate, Francis-Tucker Washburn, whose short ministry had 
 revealed to me rare qualities of mind and heart, was taken from us; 
 and with a sense of bereavement and loss I again took up the work 
 which had fallen from his hands. I never engaged in my profes- 
 sion with a deeper sense of personal responsibility, or entered 
 with a more living interest or a keener sense of enjoyment into 
 the great and solemn scenes which it presents. But I have 
 readied an age when such a strain upon the faculties cannot 
 long be continued with safety. I have therefore again asked to 
 be relieved from my parish duties ; and as the only effectual way 
 of accomplishing this, I am now spending a year in Europe. 
 
 "My life has been marked by few events of any special interest. 
 I have shrunk from prominent positions, and have been happy in 
 the secluded labors of my profession, in the means of usefulness 
 which it has given, in the literary studies and pursuits which are 
 closely connected with it, and in the intimate and lasting friend- 
 ships it has helped me to form with some of the best people in 
 the world. I hope still to live among the people with whom I 
 have lived, giving and receiving such services as lie within our 
 reach to smooth the pathway of life, and enable us to look for- 
 ward with a stronger faith and a more fitting preparation for 
 what lies beyond. With every new year I have had a richer 
 experience of God's goodness and of his universal care, and it 
 would indicate no small degree of intellectual and moral obtuse- 
 ness, as well as ingratitude, if I had any fears for what is to come. 
 I am not without hope that I may yet ]n-epare a small work on 
 the study of the Gospels, better tlian anything I have yet done. 
 Most of it is in my mind, the result of many years of thought 
 and study. It is very pleasant to think of the occupation Avhich 
 it may give, and thus to indulge the desire, perhaps more than the 
 hope, to be still of some service to my fellow-men. All my studies 
 and all my experience go to strengthen my faith in the substantial 
 truthfulness of the Gospel narrative, and in the unspeakable value 
 of the life and the truth that are revealed in them. 
 
 "I have had many disappointments. But as I look back, the 
 predominant feeling in my mind is one of thankfulness. My life 
 has been full of satisfactions and enjoyment. I have not attained 
 to heights I had once hoped to reach in intellectual or spiritual 
 culture. But in many ways life has been a rich and beneficent 
 gift, especially in my home, which has had its trials and shadows ; 
 but no heart-rending grief has ever entered it. My children, two 
 sons and a daughter, and my wife, have been spared thus far, so 
 that I close this brief outline with devout gratitude and ]n-aise." 
 
 He still holds (1879) the office of senior pastor of the First 
 Congregational (Unitarian) Society, in Milton, Mass.; but on 
 account of the health of his family, he moved into Boston, in 
 October, 1877, where he still resides, spending the summer 
 months in Peterborough, N. H,

 John^). Horace Morisoii, in his youth, experienced similar hard- 
 ships with his brothers, and was made early to earn his own 
 support. When seventeen years of age he learned the cabinet- 
 maker's trade, at which he worked till he was twenty-one. He 
 entered Phillips (Exeter) Academy in September, 1831, to prepare 
 himself for college, and remained there till August, 1834, when he 
 entered the sophomore class of Harvard College. In college he 
 took a high rank as a scholar, gained the highest Bowdoin prize 
 for English composition, belonged to the best college societies, 
 became a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and graduated 
 in 1837, the eighth scholar in his class. 
 
 "From college he went directly to Baltimore, where he had 
 been appointed an instructor in mathematics in the University of 
 Maryland, which, with the charter of a college, was in reality 
 only a superior high school. The next year, 1838, he was ap- 
 pointed professor of mathematics in the same institution. He 
 held this professorship till July, 1841, when he was chosen 
 president of the academical department of the university. He 
 remained in office till July, 1854, when he resigned, and returned 
 to Peterborough, to live on the old homestead of the family, 
 Avhich he had purchased in 1852. In 1841, he married Mary- 
 Elizabeth Lord, daughter of Samiiel Lord, of Portsmouth, and 
 niece of jSTathan Lord, late president of Dartmouth College. 
 
 "In 1856, after a rest of two years on his farm, he returned to 
 Baltimore and opened a girls' school, which he continued to teach 
 till July, 1866; when his brother Nathaniel gave up his school, in 
 1867, he took charge of it ; and he remained in Baltimore till 
 February, 1869, when infirm health compelled him to seek relief 
 from all serious labor. A paralytic affection had made itself felt 
 in his limbs as early as 1856. By careful attention and active 
 remedies, he had succeeded in retarding the progress of the dis- 
 ease, but he never got entirely rid of it. He returned to his farm 
 in Peterborough, in 1869, where for a time he seemed to improve, 
 and where he died, August 5, 1870, aged 59 yrs. 11 mos. Mr, 
 Morison was an excellent scholar, especially in mathematics ; and 
 he had a great fondness for the natural sciences, which he taught 
 unusually well. Few teachers ever surpassed him in easy, lucid, 
 and familiar explanations of natural phenomena. Like all good 
 teachers, he had an analytical mind; and the boy must have been 
 dull indeed whom he could not make understand the subjects or- 
 dinarily taught in school. He Avas one of nature's own teachers, 
 l^eculiarly fitted to impart knowledge to the young, and fond of 
 doing so ; but the government of a school wms always an irksome 
 task to him, and this rendered him less fond of his profession 
 than he otherwise would have been."

 at Adams Academy, in Derry, then under charge of Charles-C- 
 P. Gale. She was a woman of marked ability, of a refined and 
 sensitive nature, was a superior scholar, and a most successful 
 teacher. Immediately after her marriage, she went to inhabit a 
 log cabin in the wilderness of Michigan, where she could find 
 none of the luxuries and few of the comforts to which she had 
 been accustomed. She bore the privations of her lot with a 
 brave, uncomplaining spirit ; but the hard life to which she was 
 subjected in the new settlement was more than her strength

 1597. William-C, b. Nov. 1, 1841; was reared upon a farm; entered the 
 University of Michigan, in 1860. The morning after the attack 
 on Fort Sumter, he, with 200 of the students, tendered their 
 services to Governor Blair, but the offer was declined. He 
 enlisted in the 1st Mich. Infantry. He belonged to the advance 
 guard of the regt. under Colonel Wilcox, which entered Alex- 
 andria, May 24, 1861. In the battle of Bull Run, when the 
 order was given to retreat, he, and about fifty others, carried 
 off their wounded colonel. Not being able to escape, they 
 retreated to a piece of woods, and defended him for nearly 
 three hours, till most of their party were killed or wounded. 
 He was wounded three times in this engagement, and was left 
 among the dead upou the field ; was taken prisoner, and 
 remained in Libbj' Prison till Nov. 18G1 ; then sent to Columbia, 
 S. C, and returned to Libby in March, 1862; paroled May 15, 
 1862, and exchanged Aug. 9. He received a lieutenant's com- 
 mission in the 18th Regt. Mich., Aug. 25, 1862; assisted in 
 defence of Cincinnati ; assisted in building Fort Mitchell, at 
 Covington, Ky. ; was on provost duty during the winter of 
 1862-63, at Lexington, Ky. ; was in the battle of Danville, Ky., 
 March, 1863, and was on provost duty at Nashville, Tenn., from 
 May, 1863, till May, 1864; was oflered a commission as lieut.- 
 col. in 4th Tenn. Regt., but declined. He was in command 
 of the 18th Regt. of Mich, in the battle of Fox Creek. In the 
 siege of Decatur, Nov. 1864, with 40 men, he led a bayonet 
 charge against the rebel sharp-shooters, and captured 114 pris- 
 oners, among them five com. offlcers. This gallant feat was-

 done iu front of General Hood's army of more than 30,000 
 men, and for it he received the thanks of General Thomas, 
 in an open letter ordered to be read before the rej^t. While 
 in command of a fort at Whitesboro', on the Tennessee River, 
 he captured 75 horses, and mounted his company. In Feb. 
 1865, he was appointed provost-marshal at Huntsville, Ala., and 
 held this position till the close of the war. In Oct. 1865, he 
 went to Texas as quartermaster under General Custei', against 
 the Comanche Indians. In March, 1866, he purchased a drove 
 of cattle, and was drowned May 7, 1866, while attempting to 
 cross a stream in the Indian Tei-ritory, when on his way from 
 Texas to Kansas.

 Peterborough, N. H., Dec. 14, 1815. When he was three years 
 old, his father died suddenly of yellow fever, at Natchez, Miss. 
 He lived with his mother till he was eight years of age. The 
 succeeding nine years of his life were spent on a farm, in a woolen 
 mill, and in a machine-shop, though he attended school regularly 
 in the winter. On the 1st of January, 1834, he entered Phillips 
 (Exeter, N. H.) Academy, where he remained till August, 1836, 
 when he was admitted to the sophomore class at Harvard Col- 
 lege, having prepared for this advanced standing in two years 
 and seven months. The following sketch of his life is taken from 
 that very excellent work, Dr. Albert Smith's History of Peter- 
 borough, N. H. 
 
 "As a student, young Morison was obliged to practise the 
 most rigid economy in all his expenses, — in dress, in board, in 
 books, and in travelling. He once walked on the frozen ground, 
 in December, from Peterborough to Exeter, a distance of sixty 
 miles, the .entire journey costing but the two cents paid for cross- 
 ing the Merrimack at Thornton's Ferry. He carried a lunch in 
 his pocket, and spent the night at the Rev. Jacob Abbot's, iu 
 Windham. Like most country boys of the period, he sought to 
 increase his scanty means by teaching school in winter. He 
 began his career as a schoolmaster in Peterborough, during his 
 sophomore year. During the next winter he taught the village 
 school in Grafton, Mass., and in 1838-9 he had charge of the high 
 school at Scituate Harbor. His life at school and college was a 
 laborious one, but it was extremely pleasant. He was on terms 
 of easy and agreeable intercourse with all his schoolmates and 
 classmates, joining most of their societies and social gatherings. 
 He was a member of the Golden Branch, at Exeter ; and in col- 
 lege he joined the Institute of 1770, the Harvard Union, the 
 Hasty Pudding Club, and the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Very 
 early in life he had shown a fondness for poetic composition, and 
 he was chosen by his schoolmates to write the ode for the ex- 
 
204 CHARTER J0HN2 ; THOMASS ; ROBERT^ ; NATHANIELS. [1600 
 
 hibition at Exeter in 1835, and a song for the celebration of the 
 Fourth of July by the students in 1836. At the annual exhibition 
 of the academy in 1835 he was appointed to deliver an original 
 English poem, and in 1836 an original Latin poem. In college 
 he was chosen by his classmates to write the song for the class 
 supper at the end of their sophomore year, and the ode for class- 
 day at the end of their senior year. He also delivered the poem 
 before the Hasty Pudding Club in 1838 ; and he gained one of 
 the Bowdoin prizes for English composition the same year. He 
 graduated in 1839, the third scholar in his class, having one of 
 the orations for his part at commencement. Immediately after 
 graduating, he went to Baltimore, to become the principal teacher 
 in a fashionable girls' school which had just been opened in that 
 city, and he remained in this position for nearly two years. In 
 May, 1841, he opened a girls' school on his own account. In 
 1840, he, with his brother Horace, began the study of divinity 
 with the Rev. Dr. G.-W. Burnap, an accomplished biblical scholar 
 and critic, under whom he continued until he had completed the 
 full course of three years in theology. He was licensed to preach 
 by the Cheshire Pastoral Association, which met at Keene in the 
 summer of 1843. On the 22d of December, 1842, he married 
 Sidney-Buchanan Brown, of Baltimore. She belonged to the 
 same Scotch-Irish race from which he was descended, her ancestors 
 having settled near Carlisle, Penn. 
 
 " His school, which for an entire term consisted of two pupils, 
 soon became so prosperous that he gradually gave up all idea of 
 devoting himself to the ministry. He had preached only a few 
 times and at irregular intervals. In a few years his school became 
 the largest in the city, numbering at one time a hundred and 
 forty pupils. For twenty years, including the war, when there 
 was a great falling off of pupils, the average number of his 
 scholars was 110, the largest private girls' school ever kept in the 
 city for so long a j^eriod. Nearly a thousand ladies from the most 
 intelligent families of Baltimore have received their education 
 from him ; and five of its private schools, among them'its leading 
 girls' school, are now (1875) taught by his pupils. His school 
 had the reputation of being unusually strict in its government 
 and rigorous in its requirements of serious study from its juipils. 
 It therefore attracted few of those who were not disposed to 
 learn. He was fond of his ])rofession, and devoted to it all his 
 energy and all the best powers of his mind ; and he was amply 
 rewarded and cheered by constant manifestations of the respect 
 and affection of his pupils, among whom he has formed some of 
 the warmest friendships of his life. 
 
 In 1867 he was invited to take charge of the Peabody Institute 
 of Baltimore, which had been founded by George Peabody, of 
 London, in 1857, and which has received from him an endowment 
 of $1,240,000. His school was still in the full tide of success, and 
 he long hesitated before he accepted this important but wholly 
 unsolicited charge. He received his appointment as provost of 
 
1606] SIXTH GENERATION. — NATHANIEL-HOLMES MOEISON. 205 
 
 the institute in April, and entered upon his new duties in Sep- 
 tember, 1867. He devoted himself at once to the library, which 
 then consisted of about 15,000 volumes of miscellaneous books, 
 among which were very few of the great works which such a 
 library should contain. Under his administration nearly $200,000 
 have been spent in the purchase of books. The library now con- 
 tains over 70,000 volumes, and is everywhere among scholars 
 regarded as one of the best reference libraries in the country. 
 
 "Dr. Morison has for many years been a trustee of the First 
 Independent Church of Baltimore. For twenty-seven years he 
 was a member, and most of that time the superintendent, of its 
 Sunday-school. He is one of the board of governors and visitors 
 of St. John's College at Annapolis, from which, in 1871, he 
 received the honorary degree of LL. D. When a volume, beau- 
 tifully printed and illustrated, was issued in 1871, describing the 
 representative men of Baltimore, he was selected as the "repre- 
 sentative teacher" of the city, and a short sketch of his life, with 
 a portrait, was placed in the book. 
 
 "In 1857, he piirchased in Peterborough, N. H., the place now 
 known as Bleak Hoixse, and fitted it up as a summer residence. 
 His affection for his old home drew him back to the place of his 
 birth, and for more than twenty years he and his family have 
 spent at least three months of each summer amid the scenes so 
 familiar and dear to his boyhood. When, in 1872, he gave up 
 all interest in the school which he had established in Baltimore, 
 and over which he had, presided for a quarter of a century, he 
 sent all his philosophical apparatus, which cost originally about

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 Second Generation. — History of Dea. Hai.beut Morison, Son of 
 John Morison, who died in 1736, and his Descendants. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. — DEA. HALBERT MORISON. 
 
 1946. Dea. Halbert^ [4] (John^) ; was born in Ireland in 1685, 
 and died in Londonderry, N. H., June 6, 1755. He lies buried in 
 tliat beautiful cemetery, so elevated as to overlook a large extent 
 of territory, and situated near Derry East Meeting-House. This 
 was the spot the first settlers of Londonderry chose for their 
 " long, last rest " ; and there, in the peaceful bosom of mother- 
 earth, many of them rest, in that sleep which shall be unbroken 
 till the reveille call of the final morning. 
 
 Deacon Morison evidently emigrated to this country in 1718, 
 with his brothers James and John, and the early Londonderry 
 settlers, though he does not appear in Londonderry till 1735. 
 Many of the first emigrants, of the flock of Rev. James 
 McGregor, after their arrival in Boston, went to Casco Bay, 
 intending to settle in that locality. But circumstances were not 
 propitious for the success of the undertaking. They embarked 
 from Boston late in the season, and the vessel on its arrival was 
 frozen in for the winter, and the emigrants endured great suffer- 
 ing. Not pleased with the situation, and finding no place for 
 settlement which suited them, most of the emigrants re-embarked 
 in the spring. They sailed along the coast, and entered the 
 Merrimack River, which they ascended as far as Haverhill, Mass. 
 The men of the expedition, leaving their families at this place, 
 went and viewed the land in Nutfield, and made arrangements 
 for settling there. They then returned to Haverhill for their 
 families, Avhich they took to Londonderry (then iSTutfield), and 
 formed the settlement, April 11, 1719, O. 8. I will here state 
 that the only possible connection on this side of the water 
 between the Londonderry Morisons, and the Morisons who set- 
 tled in Sanbornton, N. H., is at Haverhill, Mass., which is the 
 point to which that branch can be traced. That branch is now a 
 large and very respectable family, of the same Scotch stock, and 
 its ancestors probably came at or near the same time (1718) from 
 Ireland or England, and it is not improbable that some one of 
 the Morison clan branched off at Haverhill, and became the 
 ancestor of the Sanbornton Morisons. 
 
226 DEA. HALBERT MORISON. [1947 
 
 Deacon Morison did not return from Maine with the other emi- 
 grants, for the first we hear of him, lie is located not far from 
 Casco Bay, at a place then called " Sheep-Cott," now " Sheepscotts 
 Bridge," in Lincoln Co., Me. Here he remained till Oct. 18, 
 1735, when he appeared upon the scene in Londonderry, and 
 bought 122 acres of land, for " 200 pounds," of John and Chris- 
 tian McNeal. His name occasionally appears on the records of 
 Londonderry. May 8, 1746, Halbert Morison and his wife Jean 
 deeded 50 acres of this land to their son John ; consideration, 
 "Love, and good Avill, and affection." March 2, 1750, the high- 
 way was laid out by his house. Jan. 27, 1755, he deeded to his 
 son David Morison all his personal estate ; consideration, 
 " 300 pounds, new tenor." Jan. 27, 1755, he deeded all his real 
 estate to his son David ; consideration, " 500 pound bills of Pub- 
 lick Credit." This farm which he owned, and on wdiich he 
 passed the closing years of his life, is situated in Derry (" Dock"), 
 and is the nearest house and farm, on the northeast side, to the 
 station on the Nashua & Rochester R. R., the house being situ- 
 ated on the highway. It is stated that he was married three 
 times. His last wife's name is reported to be Jean Steele. She 
 died Oct. 19, 1753, aged 53 yrs. He died June 6, 1755, aged 70 
 yrs. (not 1753, as appears on his tombstone) ; and side by side 
 they rest together, in the old cemetery on the hill.

 of where he lived, and whose families have been there for several gener-

 of the farm, to the farm his fatlier occupied. The farm John 
 Morison occupied is not accessible by any public highway. A 
 "bridle road" leads past the house. It lies back from his father's 
 farm, and is the place lately occupied by Mr. Henry Taylor, of 
 Derry, N. H. "Being sick and indisposed in body," he made his 
 Avill Oct. 27, 1743, and did appoint as executor his "good friend, 
 Samuel Morison, of Windham" (Lieut. Samuel Morison). The 
 will was j^robated Jan. 30, 1754. In certain contingencies, his 
 "beloved sisters, Jenny Hopkins, Catrina McNeal, Rebecca 
 Morison and Jean Morison," are to receive a portion of his prop- 
 erty. The real estate was sold to Fulton, Jan. 25, 1755 ; 
 
 and the business was finally settled by Lieut. Samuel Morison, 
 July 26, 1769, he charging nothing for a large part of his services, 
 as appears from his papers. John Morison married Susannah .

 rather a romantic incident occurred in connection with her mar- 
 riage. While living in Londonderry, X. H., she became acquainted 
 with Capt. John Moore. This acquaintance grew into a deeper 
 and stronger attachment on his part than that of friendship. He 
 wooed, won, and engaged to marry her. They were "published," 
 as the law then required ; but before the arrival of that fair 
 auspicious day which was to unite their destinies for life, " a 
 change came o'er the sj)irit of her dreams." She became ac- 
 (piainted with James Archibald . It was evidently " foreordained " 
 that she should marry him. One bright moonlight night she 
 eloped with Mr. Archibald, while her lover, Mr. Moore, was at a 
 neighbor's, dancing. The company heard the sound of swiftly 
 passing steeds. It was Rebecca Morison and James Archibald, 
 going to Chester to be married. They rode nearly twelve miles 
 to Chester, were married by license, and returned to Londonderry 
 the same night. On account of her action, her relatives were 
 much chagrined, to say nothing of her lover. 
 
 This Capt. John Moore Avas born May, 1723, and subsequently 
 married Mary-Ann Clendennin, and became the grandfather of 
 Mrs. Betsey-Moore Davis (No. 2202). He was a man of ability ; 
 he lived and died on the farm adjoining the "Gen. Reid place," 
 latterly known as the John-B. Taylor farm in Londonderry, now 
 Derry, N. H. He commanded a company of Londonderry men 
 in the French and Indian war of 1756. 
 
 Mr. Archibald and his romantic wife lived in the house oppo- 
 site that of her father, and which stands back a number of rods 
 from the highway. This was the home of the Archibalds. Here 
 
 atious. Other Morisons of Londonderry had interest in lands there. 
 Joseph and Samuel Morison, of Londonderry, conveyed land in vicinity 
 of Sheepscott in 1769. John Morison, of Londonderry, conveyed laud 
 in Lincoln Co., Me., in 1779, to Timothy Dexter, of Nevvburyport, Ma'ss.

 they lived till 17G2, when they removed to Kova Scotia. They 
 landed at Fort Belcher, in Onslow, N. S., Dec. 13, 1762, and set- 
 tled in Truro, he being one of the grantees of that township. 
 They lived in Truro till about 1790, when he took up a "block of 
 land" in Upper Stewiacke, and was among the first settlers there. 
 They sold their property there about 1800, and he is supposed to 
 have died in Truro, X. S., at that time. She removed to Ohio, 
 lived with her daughters, and died there.

 progenitor of the Morisons of Peterborough, N. H. She was 
 born in Ireland, and was present at the "siege of Derry" when 
 a child of seven or eight years of age. The events of that terrible 
 siege were indelibly stamped upon her memory, and were related 
 by her to her relatives.! A descendant writes: "One of the 
 most vivid memories of my childhood was the thrill of excitement 
 with which I used to listen to the description of the starving 
 people waiting for the ships that were bringing supplies, and their 
 horror when it became a])parent that they might not be able to 
 reach the city ; this, with the final triumph, was equal to any 
 romance." She married Thomas Steele, in Ireland, in 1715, 
 emigrated to this country in 1718, and settled in Londonderry, 
 N. H., in 1719, Avhere they spent their days. Their home lot is 
 now embraced in the farm of Col. George-W. Lane, near the East 
 Village of Derry, N. H. They were the progenitors of the Steele 
 family in Peterborough, N. H. t 
 
 He died in Londonderry, N. H., Feb. 22, 1748, in the sixty-fifth 
 year of his age. She died Oct. 22, 1759. They had four sons 
 and two daughters. Only the sons can be accounted for.

 2279. SamueP [6] (Jolm^). Samuel Morison was born in 
 Ireland in 1710, and was the eldest child of John Morison, who 
 died in 1736, by his last wife, Jane Steele, and is so mentioned 
 in the will of his father. Being then quite young, he did not 
 come with the first settlers of 1719, but arrived with his father's 
 family previous to 1723. He succeeded his father on the home 
 farm. This farm was deeded to their "honored father" by 
 Charter James and John Morison. Samuel was a farmer. On 
 this farm he spent his days, and here, on June 21, 1802, this ven- 
 erable, amiable old man, respected by all, at the ripe old age of 
 92 years, breathed his last, and was " buried with his fathers." 
 
 The farm he occupied in Derry is now owned by Charles Day, 
 and is pleasant for situation. He married Janet Alison, sister of 
 Martha Alison, the wife of his nephew, Lieut. Samuel Morison, 
 of Windham, and daughter of Capt. Samuel Alison, who owned 
 60 acres of land (a quarter section), now included in the farm of 
 Georoe-W. Lane, near Derry East Village. She was born in 
 Ireland, 1712 or '13 ; died, iii Londonderry, Jan. 8, 1800, aged

 by a Mr. Shields, and only a few rods from the " Londonderry 
 Turnpike." Her granddaughter, Mrs. Steele, of Windham, in 
 1880 (and who had reached the advanced age of ninety-two yrs.), 
 said: "I remember my grandmother, Hannah-Morison Clenden- 
 nin, very well. She was active and vigorous for an old lady. I 
 saw her sit at the window and spin not more than a year before 
 her death. She used frequently to call on her neighbors. She 
 was quite old, and died in 1801. I Avas then thirteen years of 
 age, and attended my grandmother's funeral. Two of her brothers, 
 Samuel and Joseph, were present, though Samuel was infirm at 
 the time. " She is the only one living who can look backward over 
 seventy-nine vanished years and who has known and conversed 
 with three of the early settlei's of Londonderry, N. H,

 She was born in 1788, and now (1880) her mind is clear and 
 strong, and events which hap])ened during the greater part of her 
 life are remembered distinctly. Particularly clear are her re- 
 membrances of the events of her childhood, and as late as 75 yrs. 
 and even 50 yrs. ago. She is the only person living in this " wide, 
 wide world" who ever saw, knew, or conversed with the children 
 of the first John Morison who died in what is now "Derry 
 Dock," in 1736. She knew three of his children, Hannah, Samuel, 
 and Joseph. These were the children of John Morison by his 
 second wife, Janet Steele. Mrs. Steele is a mother in Israel ; she 
 has always taken a deep interest in her friends and relatives in 
 their widely separated and diverging lives ; she possesses a warm, 
 kind heart; at the present time (1880) is active and vigorous, 
 feeling but little the infirmities of her great age.

 The following autobiography of Solon Morrison was furnished at 
 my request. "The first event of my life occurred April 14, 1823. 
 I Avas the eldest of four bi'others. The house in which my child- 
 hood was spent stands amongst the Vermont hills, in the town of 
 West Windsor ; but at the time of which I speak, it was Windsor

 West Parish. It is a lonely, wind-swept i)lace, with ho hnman 
 habitation in sight, and no road within a quarter of a mile, along 
 which seldom any one passed. Complete desolation reigns aronnd 
 that old homestead to-day ; and the rocky, uneven acres that sup- 
 ported a family fifty years ago, refuse to do so now. Our school 
 was more than a mile away, in a deep valley; and we attended 
 * meeting' at a school-house in Hartland, more than two miles 
 distant. Near this is the graveyard in which members of four 
 generations of our family repose in that dreamless sleep. The 
 dreariness of my childhood's home and of its surroundings has 
 •always exerted a saddening influence over me; and though nearly 
 three fourths of my life have been spent in crowded schools and 
 the busy office, seldom an hour, never a day, passes by, that the 
 remembrance of that lonely old hill-top does not come over me. 
 
 "When I was eleven years old, our family, to my great delight, 
 mo^-ed from the old hill-farm to one adjoining it on the east, Avhere 
 a road passed by us, and we had neighbors in sight. Here the 
 years went more pleasantly by, forty weeks of each being devoted 
 to labors on the farm, and twelve to attendance on the district 
 school. Two days in each of these years stand prominently out 
 in my remembrance, namely, June Training and Thanksgiving. 
 Many a severe day's work passed almost unnoticed in anticipation 
 of these holidays, and many a one was rendered lighter in recalling 
 the events that had attended them. My father died in January, 
 IS'69. At that time I likely had not seen in all my life fifty books, 
 besides the spelling and reading books used in our small district 
 schools. A desire had been for some time springing up in me, to 
 know more of what had been, and what then Avas, than I was 
 likely to learn on the farm, and I attended the academy at Unity, 
 N. H., during the spring and autumn terms of that year. Tlie 
 autumn of 1840 I passed at Meriden, N. H., in attendance on the 
 academy there. In December, 1842, I entered the Kew England 
 Seminary, a school conducted by Swett & Jackman, at Windsor, 
 Vt., in which I remained two years. Here I went through a 
 course of mathematics, studying history, moral science, and intel- 
 lectual philosophy; also, commencing Latin and Greek. I shall 
 never forget hoAV the boundaries of the world were opened up to 
 me during these two years. 
 
 "•A slight event about this time determined the course of my 
 subsequent life. One day I came across an encampment of Cana- 
 dian-French, consisting of men, women, and children, with horses, 
 dogs, and cai'ts, all reposing by the wayside. I listened to their 
 strange talk, and wondered that they could understand each other . 
 I determined to go to Canada and learn French, and in April, 184.5, 
 I turned my face towards Montreal. I had intended, on arriving, 
 to enter the College of St. Sulpice ; but on visiting it, I Avas ad- 
 vised by the siiperior to go'ta some place where I Avould hear less 
 English. I accordingly re})aired to the village of Longueuil, 
 which stands on the banks of the St. Lawrence, opposite the 
 eastern extremity of Montreal, There were at that time only 
 
284 CHARTER ROBERTi ; "WILLIAM^ ; DAVID3 ; DANIEL*. [3004 
 
 two or three English-speaking families in the place, and I Avent 
 into a Canadian family to board, in which not an English word 
 was used. Here I remained until the last of August, being con- 
 tinually in the society of the villagers, studying diligently, and 
 taking private lessons in French. In four months I had so far 
 advanced that I could read it quite readily, converse on the ordi- 
 nary affairs of daily life, and gather the gist of general conversa- 
 tion. While in this village I wrote my first letter to the Journal, 
 a paper published in my native town ; thus commencing a corre- 
 spondence that has continued, with more or less of interruption, 
 down to the present time. Previous to July of this year (1845), 
 the postage on a letter from Montreal to Windsor was 18f cts. I 
 have several double letters on which I paid 37^ cts. 
 
 "About the 20th of August, I went to St. Hyacinthe, a beauti- 
 ful village forty-five miles nearly east from Montreal, pleasantly 
 situated on the Yamaska River, at that time containing three or 
 four thousand inhabitants, a very large stone church, a venerable 
 college, a convent, nunnery, and public market. In this Canadian 
 village I spent three of the happiest years of my life ; attending 
 classes in the college most of the time, living wholly within its 
 walls during one year, and teaching English one hour a day for 
 one year. Amongst one hundred and fifty students, there were 
 generally not more than a half-dozen English-speaking. French- 
 Canadian colleges are wholly under the control of Catholic priests, 
 and in this there were about thirty priests and ecclesiastics. The 
 regular course of studies comprises eight years ; but students are 
 admitted into any class they are prepared to enter, from that 
 in which the French elements are taught, upward to the last year's 
 course. My three years were passed in the classes of belles-lettres, 
 rhetoric, and philosophy. A thoroiigh classical education is given 
 in these colleges. Most of the students board in the college, and 
 are virtually prisoners during the school-year, from about Sept. 1 
 to July 1. They are constantly iinder the eye of a priest, and 
 cannot go out or come in without his permission. My favorite 
 authors during the three years passed at St. Hyacinthe Avere 
 Shakespeare, Racine, and Horace. 
 
 "While at this place I had become acquainted with, and visited 
 several times, some English families living at Eougemont, about 
 eighteen miles from St. Hyacinthe ; and on leaving college, July 
 1, 1848, I repaired thither. Here I was married July 10, to Susan 
 Wells, and in a few weeks I'eturned to Windsor, my native town. 
 If I should forget the three following years, it would cause me no 
 sorrow; suffice it to say, that I passed them in working during 
 the summer months on a farm, and in teaching in winter. During 
 these years I studied Italian, becoming able to read it readily ; and 
 I never omitted for a day to look into the classical writers, cojiy- 
 ing off every morning several lines from Homer, which I studied 
 and learned by heart while at work. In 1850 a friend at Syracuse, 
 X. Y., found a position for me as teacher in an academy near that 
 place, and I went out to accept it; but I was a few days late;

 another had taken it ; and I returned, without accomplishing 
 anything. 
 
 While living in Canada, I had become strongly attached to the 
 country, to the Canadian-French, their manners, customs, and 
 language, and I longed to return. In October, 1851, I moved 
 to Rouo-emont, and eno-ao-ed a school which I taught during six 
 years. There are at this place about twenty English tanulies, 
 living in the midst of a dense French population. They have 
 a church and school by themselves. While teaching at this place, 
 I carried on a small farm, and I still have an interest there ; two 
 of my children are buried under the shadow of the little church, 
 and there I expect to lay myself down some day. 
 
 "In the autumn of 1857, I moved to Cote St. Paul, which is a 
 manufacturing village just three miles from the centre of Montreal, 
 where I have remained to the present time. During nineteen 
 years — till the autumn of 1876 — I was employed as bookkeeper 
 and cashier in a manufacturing establishment; but the hard times 
 closed that up, and I fell back on teaching. As before intimated, 
 I have kept up a corresi)ondence with the Vermont Journal for 
 nearly thirty-five years; and since August, 1873, have written a 
 letter for nearly every number of the paper. In consequence of 
 this, I was not wholly forgotten by the people of Windsor ; and, 
 in making arrangements for their centennial celebration, July 4, 
 1876, I was invited to be present and deliver a poem. In com- 
 jiliance with this request, I once more stood in the streets of 
 Windsor, on that 4th of July, after an absence of twenty-five years, 
 gazing wonderingly upon the hills that stand roundabout the old 
 town, and being a stranger to almost every one I met. A pam- 
 phlet was published, giving an account of the doings of that day, 
 and containing the oration and poem then delivered. 
 
 "My father, when a youth, learned the shoemaker's trade, and 
 Avorked at it more or less till two or three years before he died. 
 After laboring hard all day on liis farm, he went to his bench in 
 the evening and worked till midnight, mending and making boots 
 and shoes for the neighboring farmers. He was very exact in his 
 affairs, as his old account-book, now in the possession of my 
 brother Marquis, will show. He received his pay invariably in 
 kind, taking wheat, corn, and other produce for his work, and 
 never a cent of money. AYhen I was six or seven years old, I 
 saw him baptized, and he joined the Freewill Baptists. My 
 mother belonged to the Methodist church. As for myself, I 
 never united with any church, but can devoutly worship with 
 any religious denomination. I have now for years attended an 
 Episcopal service every Sunday morning, and a ^Methodist in the 
 evening.

 was one of the grantees in the Charter of Londonderry, and as 
 a convenient designation to distinguish him from others of the 
 same name. The consecutive numbering is by heads of families 
 and biographical sketches. The star refers back to the consecu- 
 tive number under which parents and brothers and sisters may 
 be found. Added sections, by reference, are other sections where 
 the same person appears again or has appeared. A figure over 
 a name indicates the descent from Charter Samuel counting him 
 as one. All references included in parenthesis, as (Margaref*, 
 SamueP, John'^), are to 3Iorrisons, and by the christian name 
 only. Any intermediate parent of another 7iame Avill be readily 
 found from the star number, which in all cases refers back to 
 the father or mother, whether a Morrison or some other name. 
 All places are in New Hampshire unless otherwise indicated. 
 The first one hundred and sixty-five sections are genealogical 
 tables ; but added sections refer the reader to biograpliical 
 sketches where other necessary information will be found. It 
 is believed that this arrangement will be conducive to the con- 
 venience of the reader. He will also find in added sections back 
 references from the bioo-raphical sketches to the o-enealoc-ical 
 tables.

 David and Samuel are the only Morisons in the Charter of 
 whom there is any record now to be found in the cemetery. 
 The next gravestone beloAV Charter Samuel's is that of his son 
 Samuel. His sons John and David were buried there, but no 
 stone for either is to be seen. 
 
 The wife of Charter David was Mary Ann McAlister, and 
 he conveyed to her brothers David and William portions of his 
 allotments by deeds dated June 16, 1731, and Feb. 24, 1746, 
 which are now in the possession of Jonathan McAlister, a descend- 
 ant of David McAlister and the owner of said David's farm. 
 Said Jonathan informs me that his grandmother told him that 
 David Morison and Samuel Morison Avere brothers, and that 
 David left no children ; and all the known facts confirm this. 
 
 The names of David and Samuel a])pear in the Charter with 
 that of Abram Holmes, and in this order : — 
 
 "David MonisoN." 
 
 "Samuel Mokison." 
 
 "Abram Holmes." 
 
 The home lots of these grantees Avere together, and in the same 
 order coming south, David Morison, Samuel Morison, Abram 
 Holmes. They were upon the west side of Beaver Brook, and 
 within the territorial limits of the west parish. Who Avas 
 Abram Holmes? Parker's History says that he had married 
 for his second wife Mary Morison, that he was early elected 
 an elder in the First Church, and died in 1753, at the age of 
 seventy. His oldest son John married Grizel Givean, and Sam- 
 uel Morison's oldest daughter Avas also named Grizel. Charter 
 David, Samuel's brother, having finally disposed of the remainder 
 of his real estate, conveyed his personal property to Abraham 
 Holmes, Jolm Holmes, and Samuel Miller, June 6, 1751. Upon 
 the whole it may reasonably be inferred that Mary Morison was 
 a sister of David and Samuel Morison, and that these two Mor- 
 isons and Abram Holmes and Mary his Avife, came over to- 
 
SKETCHES. — FIRST GENERATION. 319 
 
 getlier and from the same locality. Were David and Samuel 
 related to Charter James and John? This is not improbable. 
 Hon. Thomas F. Morrison, of Londonderry, N. S., from the tradi- 
 tions which he has received, thinks they were cousins. James 
 and John were sons of the John Morrison referred to in Parker's 
 History as having come in seven or eight years after the first 
 settlement. His daughter Hannah married William Clendennin; 
 and my father, in looking over Parker's History in 1852, said to 
 me that he had been told by one of the Clendennins that John 
 Morrison, my father's grandfather, was related to the John Mor- 
 rison referred to by Mr. Parker. " Charter" David and Samuel 
 may therefore have been brothers, or nephews, of the venerable 
 man known in this History as 1736 John. 
 
 My father told me that the mother of his grandfather was a 
 Henry, and so I have given Margaret Henry as the wife of 
 "Charter" Samuel. And from the recent History of Northwood, 
 Nottingham, and Deerfield, by Elliott C. Cogswell, it appears 
 that the Avife of William Morrison who settled in Nottingham 
 about 1728, was Mary Henry, and that "their relatives" had but 
 a few years before settled in Londonderry. 
 
 WAS THERE AN EARLIER EMIGRATION? 
 
 There are traditions of one, in the family of David, son of 
 John, son of Charter Samuel. Mrs. Swain, daughter of Dr. 
 Moses F. Morrison, writes under date of July 21, 1878: "Aunt 
 Clark of Schenectady had a great penchant for tracing our family 
 line, and I remember to have heard her say once that we came 
 from the same stock as the Duke of Argyle; but what she had to 
 base such an idea upon I cannot tell," The aunt Clark referred 
 to was a daughter of said David. She was born in 1785, and 
 died in 1858. 3fr's. H. House wrote to a relative about the 
 same time : " I have heard father tell about some aunt Betsey that 
 lived in the Mohawk valley. She was a great-aunt of grand- 
 father Morrison or his wife. I do not know how far back she 
 went, but she was a daughter or a granddaughter of a lord or a 
 duke, but I think he was a lord. I have forgotten, but it seems 
 as though it was Lord Drummond, but I am not sure." This 
 lady was a daughter of Major John Morrison, son of said David. 
 She was born in 1805 and is still living. Mrs. Adelaide 'Wilson 
 wrote to her cousin Jan. 17, 1879: "Your grandfather and grand- 
 mother and my mother went to New Hampshire. . . . On their 
 way home they visited aunt Clark. They went with her to visit 
 a second cousin by the name of Morrison. They lived four miles 
 west of Schenectady on the canal, on a farm. This family seem 
 to know a good deal about the pedigree. They knew when they 
 crossed the Atlantic. I think it was about the time of the siege 
 of Londonderry the family owned some castle in Ireland, This 
 family had some relics that were brought across when they first 
 landed in America. I am sorry that I cannot remember more 
 about them. Mother and uncle talked a good deal Avlien tliey 
 first came home about their noble descent, and liad quite a bit of

 fun over it. I visited this family with my cousins, Clarks, when 
 I was about ten years old, when we first came to New York 
 State, but I forget much about them." 
 
 These traditions are given for what they are worth. 3Iiss 
 Louisa F. Clark, upon being furnished these letters, thinks the 
 aunt Betsey referred to by Mrs. House may have been her mother's 
 aunt Leonard; and "in regard to the 'lord or duke,' I can give 
 you nothing definite. I remember my mother and cousin Add. 
 Swain talking about it, but my impression is that it was not 
 really in our pedigree, but I am not sure." 
 
 Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Gookin (the mother of Mrs. Wilson), and 
 Maj. John Morrison were children of David, oldest son of John, 
 son of Charter Samuel. Mrs. Leonard was their aunt, not 
 their great-Mxnt, and the family visited are said to have been 
 secoMfAcousins. Who were they? when did they come over? 
 and where are their descendants? §§ 174, 180. 
 
 CHARACTERISTICS. 
 
 There were four Samuel Morrisons, known as " Sam," " Little 
 Sam," "Blue Sam," and "Gray Sam." The will of one of them, 
 described in the will as Samuel Morrison Junior, makes a bequest 
 to his son "Sam Moi-rison the fifth." The will is dated Aug. 26, 
 1752. The wife of the testator was Mary. He came in about 
 1730, his deed from Alexander McCullum being dated Dec. 1, 
 1730. Besides him and his son Samuel, there was Charter 
 Samuel, and his son Samuel (born in 1727), and Samuel the son 
 of 1736 John, who became of age about 1735. From his descend- 
 ants, Charter Samuel could not have been "Little Sam," or 
 "Blue Sam," for most of them, whom I have known, have been 
 of fair complexion, and of medium size at least, as the rule 
 about six feet. My cousin Josiah Morrison, who is over six feet, 
 says that all his brothers were over six feet, as was their father, 
 and one of them, Samuel, was six feet eight and one quarter 
 inches in his stocking feet. 
 
 My aunt Alger was a large woman, weighing 250 lbs. or over. 
 Charter Samuel was undoubtedly more than six feet, of erect 
 carriage, rather prominent features, broad and square shouldered, 
 long armed, muscular, and well formed. In the deeds which he 
 gave he was called yeoman and Jiusbandman. His autograph 
 shows that he was not illiterate. It is presumed that he was a 
 stanch Presbyterian, and that in his "rude dwelling, the morning 
 and evening sacrifice of prayer and praise was regularly offered, 
 and the Scriptures were devoutly read," for this is said by Mr. 
 Parker of the early settlers in general. His brother-in-law, Abram, 
 or Abraham, Holmes (who died in 1753), was for many years a 
 ruling elder in the old parish. Charter Samuel, upon the 
 formation of the new parish, adhered to the old parish, as did 
 his brother David, and Abraham Holmes his brother-in-law, and 
 his tax for the support of Mr. Davidson was as large as any of 
 those within the limits of the new parish who adhered to the 
 
SKETCHES. — FIRST GENERATION. 321 
 
 old. In a tax list, given in Parker's History, of persons on the 
 west side of Beaver Brook (which would be in the new parish), 
 for the support of Mr. Davidson of the old parish, his tax was £5 
 145. 9d. ; Kobert Clark, Capt. Andrew Todd, Joseph Cochran, 
 Robert Craige, and John Maclurge were the same. David 
 Morrison's tax was £5 Ss. Id. The others were less, and many 
 of them much less. There were eighty in all, being the original 
 forty and their descendants, who, by the act creating a new 
 parish in 1740, were permitted to adhere to the old. This tax 
 list is dated Nov. 24, 1750. His respectable standing, his adher- 
 ence to the old parish, his connection with Abraham Holmes, and 
 his mature years, favor the presumption of his having been the 
 Samuel Morrison chosen after Abraham Holmes, whose name 
 appears in Parker's History, as ruling elder; but as the records 
 have since been lost, the identity cannot be proved. I look back 
 upon him, as one who acted well his part in life ; and with his 
 Avife, who survived him many years, and his neighbors and friends 
 of that day, and the generations who followed them, he has a quiet 
 resting-place in that beautiful spot, so admirably chosen by the 
 first settlers, for themselves and their descendants, and which 
 has ever since been occupied as a cemetery. It is only a few 
 rods south of the church at East Derry, which itself is only a 
 few feet from the ground on which the first meeting-house was 
 erected, in 1722, the same year of the grant of the Charter.

 HIS DESCENDANTS. 
 
 They are traced principally through John and Samuel, but 
 only imperfectly even as to them. The families are scattered. 
 It has been with difficulty and much labor, that the facts given 
 in this chapter have been obtained. So far as practicable, an 
 opportunity has been afforded, to all known to be interested, to 
 furnish accurate records, and my work is as complete as my 
 information. So far as known, the descendants of Charter 
 Samuel have not become very rich, or learned, or great, and few 
 of them have entered professional or public life in any way. 
 They have not dishonored him. They have not lost his sturdy 
 virtues, or, as the rule, essentially departed from his faith. If 
 they have not become distinguished, they have been res])ectable 
 and useful, which is better; not one of them has reached the 
 prison, the jail, or the poor-house; and if he could now speak, he 
 might well say Avith the Psalmist: "I have been young, and am 
 old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed 
 beffo-inf? bread." 
 
 167. Gkizel, wife of Alexander Craige, died June 8, 1756, in 
 the forty-eighth year of her age, as stated on her gravestone

 now standing. Her sons, John and Samuel, would have been of 
 age in 1761. A deed of property belonging to the estate of 
 David Morrison, and also receipts given to his administrator, 
 are signed by Alexander Craige, who would have taken, as heir, 
 if his wife was a sister of David, and the sons had died, and such 
 are presumed to have been the facts. §§ 2, 3, 169. 
 
 168. John Morrison's birthplace is entered as at London- 
 derry, Ireland, because such is the record in the family Bible of 
 Dr. Moses F. Mon-ison. My father informed me that he died at 
 the age of fifty-six, and of heart disease. The probate records 
 show a grant of administration on his estate to Elizabeth Morri- 
 son, his widow, March 12, 1776. This would make his birth to 
 have been about 1720. He married Elizabeth Alexander. The 
 widow of John Morrison, their grandson, informs me that he 
 attended his grandmother's fmieral, when he was quite a lad, 
 perhaps seventeen years old; and as he was born in 1794, her 
 death was about 1811; and she is remembered to have been 
 about ninety. She remained very vigorous to the day of her 
 death, and was famous as a spinner. After the death of her 
 husband, she and her daughter Betsey continued to occupy 
 rooms in the house on the homestead which was taken by James, 
 the youngest son, subject to their rights. If John was born in 
 1720, his father gave him a deed, when he became of age, as it 
 bears date of March 1, 1740-41, although it was not recorded 
 till June 25, 1760. The deed is as follows: —

 Hamp. in New England, yeoman, sendeth greeting.

 As the grantor describes the grantee as "my son," and the 
 land as "a second division, laid out to my right in said London- 
 derry," it is now proved that the father of John Morison (my 
 great-grandfather) was Charter Samuel. The grantee died 
 intestate, in 1776. David and Hannah his wife, Samuel and 
 Mary his wife, and John, conveyed their interest to their brother 
 James, by deed dated April 3, 1778 ; and Betsey, with her husband 
 Job Leonard, I'elinquished their interest Feb. 19, 1814. James 
 conveyed to his son John, and the land is now the property of 
 his children, Franklin, James, Dorcas, Elizabeth, Harlan P., and 
 Emiline, so that it has been in the family of Samuel Morison 
 from the time it was set off to him as a part of his share under 
 the charter. Another parcel, constituting a part of the farm, was 
 conveyed to John Morison by John Blair, by a deed dated April 
 1, 1742. §§ 2, 4, 169. 
 
 169, David Morrison. I have in my possession a letter 
 written in 1852, to my father by his cousin John Morrison, 
 which says, "according to some old scraps of deeds, our great- 
 grandfather's name was David." My father doubted this, but 
 could not say who his great-grandfather was. Besides the " scraps 
 of deeds," there were receipts to John Morison as administrator 
 of the estate of David Morison. In 1878, a letter of inquiry 
 from Leonard A. Morrison, Esq., led me to examine the probate 
 
324 CHARTER SAMUEL MORISON. 
 
 records and the registry of deeds. From the former, it appeared 
 that tlie warrant to the appraisers of David's estate, informed 
 them that the property Avould be shown them by the administra- 
 tor, "a brother of the deceased." In the registry of deeds I found 
 the record of the deed (a copy of which lias been giA'en), proving 
 that John was a son of Charter Samuel, and also the record 
 of another deed from the same grantor to " David Morrison my 
 own son." There was also the record of a deed from " Charter " 
 David of his homestead to "David Morrison, jun.," dated July 
 24, 1750. The deed of Charter Samuel to his son David was 
 dated Aug. 20, 1749. Both deeds were recorded Feb. 17, 1756, 
 in the same book and on successive pages. The land is clearly iden- 
 tified, and the proof complete, that Charter Samuel was the 
 father of both John and David. That John Morrison, in 1852, 
 occupying the same homestead that had come down to him from 
 his great-grandfather, should have been misled in respect to his 
 identity, illustrates the uncertainty of un8upi)orted tradition, and 
 the necessity of examining the registry of deeds and the proliate 
 office in tracing pedigree after many years. During this search, 
 I also found the will of 1736 John, and the deed from his sons 
 James and John, and furnished copies to Leonard A. Morrison, 
 which he has given in this book. 
 
 A deed to William Duncan of land belonging to the estate of 
 this David Morison, was executed by the parties, and in the 
 manner required by law, if he died without children and 
 leaving no widow ; and such, I infer, were the facts. The deed 
 bears date Oct. 1, 1761. It was signed by "Margret Morison," 
 John Morison, Samuel Morison, Abram Morison, Jennet Cham- 
 bers, Mathew Morison, Martha Morison, and Alexander Craige.

 170. Jennet Chambers. There is a receipt in existence 
 which indicates her death in 1790. I find no evidence that she 
 left any children. §§ 2, 169. 
 
 171. Martha Morison. She Avas born in 1723. And she 
 signed the deed, before mentioned, in 1761, and receipts to the 
 administrator, which is all I have ascertained in respect to her. 
 §§ 2, 169. 
 
 172. Mathew Morison. His father conveyed one half the

 James Morison was appointed his guardian, and afterAvards, in 
 1777, his administrator. He left no children. §§2, 169.

 birth in the Londonderry records as being March 13, 1727. He 
 married his cousin, Isabella Alexander, Avhom he also made execu- 
 trix of his Avill, Avhich Avas as folloAvs : —

 The land first described was conveyed to him by deed from 
 his father, "Charter" Samuel (his mother also joining in the 
 deed), dated Sept. 26, 1757, only two days before the death of 
 the grantor. The grantee is described as " Samuel Morrison, my 
 own son." The premises conveyed were a part of the "amend- 
 ment land" set off to "Charter" Samuel, as a part of his riglit. 
 His children were stated in the will. §§ 2, 5. 
 
 174. Abram Morisox. His father, "Charter" Samuel, con- 
 veyed to him the north half of his homestead, April 5, 1756. 
 He does not call him his soti in the deed, but since there is a 
 record of his birth (May 29, 1731), and he signed with the others, 
 the deed to Duncan, before mentioned, and receipts to the admin- 
 istrator upon David's estate, it is inferred that the omission was 
 accidental or the fault of the scribner, and that he was a son of 
 Charter Samuel. There is the same omission in the deed of 
 the same date, of the south half to Mathew Morison. It is pos- 
 sible they both were grandsons. This Abram, or Abraham, with 
 his wdfe Elizabeth conveyed said land to James McMurphy by 
 deed dated March 14, 1767, and recorded Dec. 7, 1774. I am not 
 able to trace him after this conveyance. There was an emigra- 
 tion in 1741, from Londonderry to the valley of the Mohawk, 
 west of the Hudson River. He mat/ have joined that settlement, 
 and his wife may have been the Aunt Betsey mentioned in the let- 
 ter of Mrs. House. § 166. 
 
 175. David, eldest son of John and Elizabeth Morison, at the 
 date of the deed to James, April 3, 1778, Avas married and living 
 at Dunbarton. When he acknowledged the deed, April 27, 1784^ 
 he was probably living at Chester. He afterwards lived in Maine 
 and in Vermont, and finally at Niagara, N. Y., where he died in 
 1812. His children w^ere Elizabeth, Moody, John, Polly, David, 
 Hannah, and Franklin D. and Moses F. (twins). §§ 4, 7, 168. 
 
 176. Samuel, second son of John and Elizabeth Morison, at 
 the date of said deed, April 3, 1778, was living at Derryfield, 
 now Manchester. He soon went to Londonderry, and resided 
 there till he purchased land of Ephraim Carpenter in West 
 Fairlee, Vt., Avhere he continued to reside till his death in 18U2, 
 at the age of fifty. Carpenter's deed to him is dated Nov. 15, 
 
 22 
 
328 CHARTER SAMUEL MORISOX. 
 
 1790. He was buried at Post Mills, Fairlee. He died so early 
 (of consumption, as my cousin G. W. Morrison thinks), his grand- 
 children know but little of him. As four of his five sons made 
 a profession of religion, it may be inferred that he possessed the 
 religious characteristics of the first settlers of Londonderry. His 
 widow, for a few years after his death, resided on the farm, and 
 then with her son James, and finally with her daughter Mrs. 
 Alger at Conesus, N. Y., and until her death in 1822. She was 
 the daughter of Patrick and Mary Roch, and was born Dec. 24, 
 1755, as entered in the records of Derryfield. She was married, 
 as shown by the same records, June 30, 1774, the record of the 
 marriage being as follows: "June the 30th day 1774, then Samnel 
 Morrison son to John Morrison and Elizabeth his wife was mar- 
 ried to Mary Roch daughter of Patrick Roch and Jan his wife." 
 " Recorded this 11th day of June 1777. David Starret T. Clerk" ; 
 and the record of her birth is, "December the 24tli day A. D. 
 1755. Then Mary Roch daughter to Patrick and Jan Roch was 
 born. Recorded this 14th day of July A. D. 1770 year. David 
 Starret Town Clerk." According to this she was nineteen when 
 she was married, Avhich would make her older than the tradition. 
 It is possible that the child, whose record is found, died, and 
 another took her name, or that the record, having been made 
 fifteen years after the event, may be erroneous, but neither is 
 probable. Her mother is supposed to have been dead at the time 
 of her marriage. And of her father there is only the tradition 
 that he was of Norman-French descent (which, from his name, is 
 probable), and that he was a sea-ca2:)tain. When, or upon what 
 shore, he was wrecked, or who were his parents, is unknown. Of 
 grandmother something is remembered. My cousin Betsey Mor- 
 rison (now seventy-five) says she was very fair, rather fleshy, of 
 medium size, a noble-looking woman with blue eyes and a very 
 kind heart, and "I loved her dearly." She also says she was very 
 scrupulous in her observance of the Sabbath, and as she under- 
 stands it, was a Presbyterian. There comes back to me from 
 Conesus an interesting book which she carried with her, and in 
 which her name, " Mary Morrison," is Avritten in a bold, legible, 
 but iinknown hand. The book is a volume of forty-four sermons 
 by Dr. Watts. The dedication is at " Theobalds, in Hertfordshii-e, 
 Feb. 21, 1720-21." Among the hymns, composed for the ser- 
 mons, is one I do not remember to have met with elsewhere, but 
 which is one of the best ever w^ritten by Dr. Watts, and which is 
 here inserted.

 The children who lived to adult years, were John, Samuel, 
 Margaret, James, Mary, William, Robert, and Charlotte. §§ 
 4, 8, 168. 
 
 177. John Morrison, third son of John, son of Charter 
 Samuel, in the deed to James of April 3, 1808, was described as 
 of Londonderry. He was then unnaarried. It was known to 
 my father that he w^ent to the State of New York. What is fur- 
 ther known to me of him and his family has been obtained by 
 the kindness and diligence of Miss Louisa F. Clark, of Schenec- 
 tady, to whom I am also indebted for other information. §§ 
 4, 9, 168. 
 
 178. James Morrison, the fourth son, took the homestead of 
 his father, and it is now the property of his grandchildren. He 
 was a member of the chnrch and a respected citizen. For many 
 years he was afflicted Avith lameness. His children were Peo-o-y^ 
 Thomas, James, liebecca, and John. The daughters died past 
 middle life and unmarried. For the sons, see §§4, 10, 168. 
 
 179. Elizabeth, the eldest daughter, has been referred to as 
 living with her mother until her mother's death, when she married 
 Job Leonard, of Schenectady, N. Y. She left no children. §§ 
 4, 168.

 180. Samuel, eldest son of Samuel, son of Charter Samuel, 
 lived at Londonderry, and afterwards at Henniker. He met with 
 business reverses, and his end was calamitous. His children are 
 understood to have settled in Ohio, but in what part is unknown. 
 §§ 5, 11. 
 
 181. Abram, the second son, built mills at Londonderry. 
 Deeds signed by him and his wife Mary, while at Londonderry, 
 were to James Ewing, Jan. 20, 1782; to John Brown, July 11, 
 1792 ; and while living at Hamstead, to John Brickett, June 5, 
 1794, and to Thomas Arnold, Jan. 8, 1801 ; and while living in 
 Salisbury, Mass., to Stephen Coffin, March 28, 1803, of land in 
 Hamstead and Plaistow ; and to Isaac Martin, and also to Aquila 
 Martin, Jr., two deeds dated Aug. 6, 1803, of land in Salisbury ; 
 and finally to William Pettingill, July 26, 1817, of land in Salis- 
 bury. In the deeds, or many of them, he is called a "wheel- 
 wright." Mrs. Lydia Bennett, of Alton (now 80), his niece, and 
 who visited him at Salisbury or Newburyport about 1817, says that 
 he had but one son, Daniel, and that they both were Quakers. 
 She thinks Abram died at Salisbury. Daniel was for a time with 
 the Society of Friends, at Weare, N. H. (as Mr. Sawyer, a mem- 
 ber of that society, writes me), but afterwards went to Saratoga, 
 N. Y. Mrs. Bennett gives the same account, that he went to 
 Saratoga, and says he had four children. And finally the tradi- 
 tion in Londonderry of Abram Morrison is that he was a Quaker. 
 I am satisfied that he is the one whom the poet Whittier has im- 
 mortalized. He was not born in Ireland. He was born at Lon- 
 donderry, N. H. From his father's will he appears to have been 
 his second son. Robert, the third son, was born Aug. 29, 1754, 
 which would make Abram's birth about 1752. It is not surprising, 
 however, that the "boy" who knew him in 1817, was misled, for 
 the brogue came down to a later period. With many eccentri- 
 cities he seems to have been an excellent man. For Whittier 
 writes me, "3d mo. 10, 1880," of him: "Abram Morrison I well 
 remember ; he lived in Salisbury, on one side of the Powow River ; 
 our Quaker meeting was on the other in Amesbury. My birth- 
 place was Haverhill, eight miles from the Amesbury meetings we 
 regulai'ly attended. He may have been a wheelwright ; I recollect 
 his workshop with joiner tools and turning-lathe. To me, a boy of 
 ten to fifteen, he seemed quite old ; he may have been fifty. He 
 left with his family when I was still young, and I think went 
 to Weare, N. H., which place, however, I have heard he left. I 
 do not know where he died, nor whether any of his family are 
 living ; a son of his, Daniel, lived at one time near Saratoga, N. 
 Y. We always thought he must have come direct from Ireland. 
 He had the real brogue of the Green Island, was witty and eccen- 
 tric, but a good man and thorouglily honest. In my rhyme I 
 have given a boy's impression of him which may not have been 
 altogether accurate. He could make verses readily, and I re- 
 member seeing some of them in manuscript. The anecdotes of 
 the pig-sty on wheels, and the admonition to young folks against

 He had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War before he became

 ABRAM MORRISON. 
 
 BY JOHN GKEENLEAF WHITTIEK. 
 
 'Midst the men aud things which will 
 Haunt an old man's memory still, 
 Drollest, quaintest of them all, 
 "With a boy's laugh I recall 
 
 Good old Abrara Morrison. 
 
 When the Grist and Rolling Mill 
 Ground and rumbled by To Hill, 
 And the old red school-house stood 
 Midway in the Powow's flood. 
 
 Here dwelt Abram Morrison. 
 
 From the beach to far beyond 
 Bear-hill, Lion's Mouth and Pond, 
 Marvellous to our tough old stock, 
 Chips o' the Anglo-Saxon block, 
 
 Seemed the Celtic Morrison. 
 
 Mudknock, Balmawhistle, all 
 Only knew the Yankee drawl, 
 Never brogue was heard till when. 
 Foremost of his countrymen, 
 
 Hither came Friend Morrison ; 
 
 Irish of the Irishes, 
 Pope nor priest nor church were his ; 
 Sober with his Quaker folks, 
 Merry with his quiet jokes 
 
 On week-days was Morrison. 
 
 Half a genius, quick to plan 
 As to blunder ; Irishman 
 Rich in schemes, and, in the end. 
 Spoiling what he could not mend, 
 Such was Abram Morrison. 
 
 Back and forth to daily meals. 
 Rode his cherished pig on wheels, 
 And to all who came to see : 
 " Aisier for the pig an' me. 
 
 Sure it is," said Morrison. 
 
 Careless-hearted, boy o'ergrown ! 
 Jack of all trades, good at none, 
 Shaping out with saw and lathe 
 Ox-yoke, pudding-slice, or snathe. 
 Whistled Abram Morrison. 
 
 Well we loved the tales he told 
 Of a country strange and old. 
 Where the fairies danced till dawn; 
 And the goblin Leprccaun 
 
 Looked, we thought, like Morrison. 
 
 * In 1817. 
 
332 CHAKTER SAMUEL MORISON. 
 
 First was he to sing tlie praise 
 Of the Powow's wiudiug ways ; 
 And our straggling village took 
 City grandeur to the look 
 
 Of its prophet Morrison. 
 
 All his words have perished. Shame 
 On the saddle-bags of Fame, 
 That they bring not to our time 
 One poor couplet of the rhyme 
 Made by Abram Morrison ! 
 
 When, on calm and Mr First Days, 
 Rattled down our one-horse chaise 
 Through the blossomed apple-boughs 
 To the Quaker meeting-house, 
 
 There was Abram Morrison. 
 
 Underneath his hat's broad brim 
 Peered the queer old face of him ; 
 And with Irish jauntiness 
 Swung the coat-tails of the dress 
 Worn by Abram Morrison. 
 
 Still, in memory, on his feet, 
 Leaning o'er the old, high seat, 
 Mingling with a solemn drone, 
 Celtic accents all his own, 
 
 Rises Abram Morrison. 
 
 " Don't," he 's pleading, — " don't ye go, 
 Dear young friends, to sight and show ; 
 Don't run after elephants. 
 Learned pigs and presidents 
 
 And the likes ! " said Morrison. 
 
 On his well-worn theme intent, 
 Simple, childlike, innocent. 
 Heaven forgive the half-checked smile 
 Of our careless boyhood, while 
 
 Listening to Friend Morrison ! 
 
 Once a soldier, blame him not 
 That the Quaker he forgot, 
 When, to think of battles won, 
 And the redcoats on the run, 
 
 Laughed aloud Friend Morrison. 
 
 Dead and gone ! But while its track 
 Powow keeps to Merrimack, 
 While Po Hill is still on guard, 
 Looking land and ocean ward. 
 
 They shall tell of Morrison ! 
 
 After half a century's lapse. 
 We are wiser now, perhaps. 
 But we miss our streets amid 
 Something which the past has hid, 
 Lost with Abram Morrison. 
 
 Gone forever with the queer 
 Characters of that old year ! 
 Now the many are as one V 
 Broken is the mould that run 
 
 Men like Abram Morrison.

 182. Robert, the third son, lived and died in his native town. 
 He served six months in the Revolutionary war, although letters 
 now in the possession of his granddaughter, Zoe Ann Flanders, 
 show that he died without being able to make proof in respect to 
 a few days of the period, and so failed of a pension. Papers 
 which I have seen show him serving upon a coroner's inquest* 
 upon the body of Daniel Cutting, Aug. 13, 1791 ; and also as 
 executor upon the estate of his mother-in-law, Mary Alexander, 
 in 1793. The willf is dated Sept. 16, 1793, and there is otherl evi- 
 dence of his being a man of good business capacity. He died 
 in his ninety-second year, and he is remembered with much respect 
 by the inhabitants of Londonderry. He married his cousin Jennet 
 Alexander. She was born Sept. 15, 1749, and died May 1, 1832. 
 Robert Morrison left but one child who reached adult years, 
 Jennie. She mai-ried Robert Dickey. §§5, 13. 
 
 183. JoNATHAX, the fourth son, married a Hartford, and lived 
 with his family for many years at Rochester. His children were 
 Jonathan, Samuel, Ej^hraim, Sarah, and Isabella. §§5, 14. 
 
 184. David, the fifth son, enlisted in the Revolutionary war 
 Avhen he Avas seventeen, and served three years. He married 
 Mary Kimball, of Rochester, N. H., in 1787, and lived there nine 
 years. He then Avent to Alton, bought a wild tract of land, 
 built upon it, made him a good farm, and settled his sons on lands 
 adjoining. His farm is now owned by his grandson, David H. 
 Morrison. Mrs. Bennett says that he and his wife used to visit 
 their old neighbors in Rochester on horseback, and once a year 
 to ride round to Henniker, Bow, Weare, and down round to 
 Londonderry. The journey took them about a week. He was 
 made of good stuff, as are his descendants. He died Dec. 8, 
 
 * The coroner was Zechariah Chandler. The jury found that Cutting 
 " came to his death by the misfortune drowning in a brook called great 
 Cooss Brook near Capt. Perham's in said Derryfleld on the I3th instant." 
 
 t The will gave bequests to " my daughter Jean Clark wife to Thomas 
 Clark," " my daughter Jennet Morrison wife to Robert Morrison," " my 
 daughter Mary Robb wife to John Robb,""my son John Alexander," 
 "my son Hugh Alexander," "my granddaughter Martha Clark," "my 
 granddaughter Mary Alexander daughter to my son Hugh Alexander," 
 and "to kinswoman Margaret McCartney." Among the' bequests were a 
 "black silk cloke," "black silk apron," "my silk crape gown," "my 
 lambskin cloke," "my book called the Confession of faith," "my Great 
 bible," " Anken's Sei'mous," " my brass flax comb," " my wool combs," 
 and " my side-saddle." 
 
 J Among the papers is an original letter to Robert Morrison, from his 
 brother-in-law, John Alexander, which shows that John was resitling at 
 Belfiist, Ireland, unless some other Belfast can be supposed. It is dated 
 "Belfiist September the 16th, 1795." He says " we are all well at present. 
 I heard there were some things left to me by my mother and will take it 
 very kind if you will send them with Mary Miller. . . . I got everything 
 ready to go to see yon last fall, but I wa.s disappointed of a passage," and 
 also desires him to take care of his part of two pews in the meeting- 
 house, that were his mother's. His nephew John Alexander is now living 
 at Londonderry, a fine old gentleman of eighty.

 1832, aged 69. His children were Daniel, ISTeheniiah, David, 
 Isabella, Martha, Mary, Lydia (Mrs. Bennett), and Jane. §§5, 15. 
 
 185. Margaret, the oldest daughter, is supposed to have died 
 at Lynn, Mass., and to have left one or more children, but I have 
 been unable to ascertain the facts. § 5. 
 
 186. Isabella, the youngest daughter, born Nov. 14, 1765, 
 married Henry Drown, of Kochester, by Avhom she had nine 
 children. He was born Jan. 27, 1773 (probably at Londonderry), 
 and died at Rochester, Aug. 25, 1831. He was quite prominent, 
 and for many years a deacon in the Congregational church. She 
 too was noted as a great reader of the Bible. She died at Eye 
 Beach, March 23, 1858, aged 93. Her children were Ezra, Char- 
 lotte, Ruth, Isabel, Patience, Sarah, Cenith, Hannah, and Mary, 
 one son and eight daughters. §§5, 16. 
 
 187. Moody, the eldest son of David, son of John, sent his 
 sister Polly to the academy at Bradford, Vt. She was to live 
 with him in Boston on his anticipated marriage Avith a widow 
 lady to whom he was engaged. He was to make " one more " 
 voyage before his marriage, but died of yellow fever on his return 
 passage. He was a captain's mate. § 7. 
 
 188. Maj. Johx Morrison, second son of David, born Oct. 
 22, 1777 (probably at Dunbarton) ; married Mary Campbell in 
 1800. In 1803, he came to the town of Royalton, Niagara Co., 
 N. Y. It was at that time a wilderness. He had to clear a space 
 for his log-house. In the war of 1812 he was stationed at Fort 
 Niagara in command of the State troops, took part in the battle 
 of Queenstown, and saw General Brock when he fell. At the 
 close of the war he bought a tract of six hundred acres in the 
 town of Porter, Niagara Co., to which he moved with his family, 
 and as his children grew up, divided to them their portions in it. 
 In 1852, he with his wife left the old farm and bought a lot in the 
 village of Wilson, Niagara Co. He died in 1862, of typhoid 
 pneumonia, at the house of his youngest son, John C. Morrison, 
 Parkersburg, Va., and was buried in the cemetery at that place. 
 He was respected by all who knew him. His wife died* Aug. 28, 
 1868, at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Jesse Hill, on the old 
 homestead, and was buried at Youngstown, N. Y. Their chil- 
 dren were, David, Christine, Hannah, Mary, Elizabeth, Catherine, 
 Irene, Walter, Edward, Franklin B., and Josephine. §§ 7, 18. 
 
 189. David, the third son, lived at the head of the })ond in 
 Fairlee, Vt., and died there May 23, 1850. He was a good farmer 
 and much esteemed. He married Sally Clark, of Bradford, Vt. 
 Their children were Hannah, Joseph C, David, Sally, George G., 
 Fanny C, Susan E., and Philinda T. §§7, 20. 
 
 * An obituary notice speaks of her as one of the "pioneer women," "and 
 of strong character, which her early life of adventure and hardship had 
 moulded into a noble disposition "; and says she " was to the close of life 
 an interesting, sociable companion, and a loving mother to her children 
 and grandchildren."

 190. Fkanklix D. and Moses F., twin brothers, were the 
 remaining sons. They were born at Corinth, Vt., Nov. 26, 1788. 
 
 191. Franklin D. married Hannah Tenney, by whom he had 
 one child, Adeline Clinton, born at Calais, Me., Nov. 28, 1823. 
 He died April 16, 1835. §§ 7, 22. 
 
 192. Db. Moses Ford Morrison was, as his daughter Mrs. 
 Swain expresses it, " a waif." His mother died soon after he was 
 born. His father, having a numerous family, gave him to Moses 
 Ford, of Piermont, who in return gave the boy his own name and 
 an academic education. He studied medicine and practised at 
 Landaff, in this State, then at Waterford, Vt., and after- 
 wards at Bath, from July, 1832, till 1852, when he removed to 
 Nunda in Western New York, where Mrs. Swain was living. 
 He took his degree of M. D. at Dartmouth College in 1823. 
 In his physical structure he in general patterned after his great- 
 grandfather. He was a man of quick perceptions, literary taste, 
 and general reading. In his religious views he was an excep- 
 tion, in rejecting the faith of his ancestors. In 1812 he mar- 
 ried Zilpha Smith, daughter of James Smith, a well-to-do farmer 
 of Bath. Slie was an excellent woman and sympathized with him 
 in his literary pursuits, but was a useful poise to some of his 
 eccentricities. He died from the rupture of a blood-vessel at 
 Decatur, Ohio, Nov. 1856. She died before him of cholera at 
 Youngstown, N. Y., in July, 1854. Their children arriving at 
 adult ages were, Jane Z., Albert, Adeline E. T., John, Napoleon 
 B., Helen W., Eugenia A., and Pauline E. A. §§ 7, 23. 
 
 193. Elizabeth, eldest daughter and child of David Morrison, 
 married Capt. Nathan Towle of Piermont in 1800, April 3, where 
 she resided till her death. Of her I knew but little, except that 
 she was always referred to by her children and nieces with inter- 
 est and affection. Her children were, Adeline, Belinda, Nathan, 
 and Franklin M., of whom only Adeline and Franklin married. 
 §§ 7, 17. 
 
 194. Mary, second daughter of David Morrison, married Na- 
 than Gookin, of Piermont. They removed to the State of New 
 York, and of them I am but little informed. Their children were, 
 Eliza, Mary Ann, Adelaide, and Frederick. Adelaide married 
 Mr. Wilson, and extracts have been given from her letter. §§ 
 7, 19, 166. 
 
 195. Hannah, the remaining daughter of David Morrison, 
 married Edward Clark, of Bradford, Vt., in 1812. He soon after 
 went to Schenectady, N. Y., Avhere they resided until their death. 
 I never saw her, but have always understood she was a woman of 
 good understanding and of considerable general reading. She 
 has been referred to in § 166, as familiar with the earlier tradi- 
 tions of the family, and I should not expect her to have been 
 easily misled. Her children were, Edward, Laban, Adeline, and 
 Louisa F. §§7, 22, 166. 
 
336 CHARTER SAMUEL MORISON. 
 
 196. Jonx Morrison (my uncle) was the oldest of the family. 
 He married Rachel Howard in 1797, and settled in Lyme, where 
 he always lived till his death in 1848, at the age of seventy-four. 
 His farm was a very good one, and well taken care of. It ad- 
 joined the well-known Culver farm. He was about five feet nine 
 inches (less than either of his brothers), liad dark hair and eyes^ 
 was stoutly built, and weighed about two hundred. His life was 
 uneventful, but useful. He was a good citizen, husband, and 
 father, and he and his wife were for many years, and until their 
 death, members of the Congregational church at Lyme. Their 
 children were, Zadock H., Roxanna, Margaret, Mary, John, Ralph 
 G., Marquis C., and Lura D. He left his farm to Marquis, his 
 youngest son. §§8, 24. 
 
 197. Samuel, the next son, I saw but once, but his stalwart 
 form is well remembered. He took a part of his father's farm in 
 West Fairlee, built upon it, and ended his days there. In 1802, 
 he married Elizabeth Rowe. He was as promising as either of 
 the sons, and but for one weakness might have been more pros- 
 perous. Yet he was esteemed and left some estate. He died in 
 1844, at the age of sixty-seven. His children who lived to grow 
 up were, Samuel, Daniel, William, and Josiah and Uriah, twin 
 brothers. §§8, 25. 
 
 198. Margaret, his oldest sister, my father always mentioned 
 with emotion. She was married when she was seventeen, and he 
 twelve, and she died in 1802, in her 22d year, — a young wife and 
 mother. He was much attached to her and thought her very 
 handsome. Her husband was Noah Norton, of Strafford, Vt. 
 She died at Chelsea, in that State, leaving two sons, Elihu and 
 Seymour M. §§ 8, 26. 
 
 199. James, the third son, was about ten years old when his 
 father came to Vermont. He was apprenticed to Deacon Palmer, 
 of Orford, and became a carpenter and joiner, and a bridge-builder. 
 When quite young he worked for Mr. Morey, who Avas very fond 
 of the chase, and with him and dog and gun often climbed the 
 steep hills of Fairlee and Orford, and never afterwards, as his 
 daughter says, could he remain in-doors when he heard the cry 
 of the hounds upon the mountain. He followed his trade for 
 many years, putting his savings into a farm at Fairlee, to which, 
 after about 1832, he devoted his principal attention ; and he 
 made it a very good one. He occupied it till his death in 1841. 
 He was about five feet and ten inches, of light complexion, light 
 hair and eyes, of good figure, very strongly built, and weighed 
 about two hundred and twenty. He was of unusual physical 
 power, and in wrestling (while he allowed himself to engage in 
 that s]>ort) seldom met his equal. Once, while at Plattsburg 
 following his trade, some one who knew him got him out of bed 
 at night to tussle Avith the bully of the ring, who thought no one 
 could throw hira, but found out his mistake when James Morri- 
 son took hold of him. He was a victim of the epidemic typhoid 
 
SKETCHES. FOURTH GENERATION. 337 
 
 fever which prevailed so generally in 1841. He was a man of 
 vigorous understanding, and died in full strength at sixty, with- 
 out an infirmity, or even a gray hair upon him. He, as also his 
 wife, had been for many years a member of the Congregational 
 church, and at his funeral, which I attended, his pastor said, "A 
 pillar has fallen ! " The estimation in which he was held is illus- 
 trated by an incident in the settlement of his estate. There was 
 a charge upon his book for an article which the party said he 
 could not remember to have had ; but, said he, " It makes no 
 difference ; it is right, or it would not be there. For Mr. Morri- 
 son's word was always as good as his note." His wife was Martha 
 Polton, daughter of John Polton, of Lyme. He came from 
 Lyme, Conn. She was a smart, good-looking, "cheerible" woman, 
 and her husband's equal. They were married in 1802. She died 
 at Fairlee, July 14, 1870. Their children were, John, Betsey, 
 Hannah, George W., Elinus J., Ira Parker, Robert, Mary E., and 
 Davenport A. §§8, 27. 
 
 200. Mary, the second daughter, was born in Londonderry, N. 
 H., March 14, 1783, and when quite young, her parents moved to 
 Fairlee, Vt. She lived several years in the family of one Colonel 
 Chamberlain in Strafford, Vt., at which place she married Daven- 
 port Alger, July 1, 1804.* About one year thereaftei*, they moved 
 into Cayuga Co., N. Y., remained there one summer ; and, in the 
 winter following, with all their personal effects piled upon an ox- 
 sled, together with herself and child (for I suppose they were 
 piled on, too), behind an ox-team, with one horse ahead, they 
 started for the then wilderness of the Genesee, the home of the 
 wild beast and Indian. They reached their destination in the 
 month of February, took possession of a log-hut covered with 
 bark, and for floor and bedstead split basswood logs laid on the 
 ground. When spring came, it found them with little left except 
 pluck and energy, which, with health, finally brought them com- 
 petency. She raised five children to man and womanhood ; she 
 lost one, a daughter, about twenty months old, which the angels 
 raised, and assisted in making a home for mother and father over 
 the river. I have frequently heard her relate circumstances some- 
 what startling to her at least : one morning, while making her 
 bed, of finding a large rattlesnake nicely stowed away between 
 the feather and straw beds ; and frequently Avhen doing her work, 
 with her back to the door, two or three Indians would slide in 
 and stand in the middle of the floor unknown to her, till she 
 would happen to look around and see them standing there ; and 
 
 * Mary, the second daughter, who married Davenport Alger, was a 
 large-hearted woman and of excellent understanding. Her husband 
 became one of the prominent citizens of Concsiis, N. Y., and was a large 
 farmer. They were, both of them, remarkable for their size, as my father 
 has told me, a noble-looking couple. She is said to have been about five 
 feet ten inches, and the two weighed six hundred. It was with them that 
 my grandmother spent the last years of her life. Their children were, 
 Jehiel, Lucinda, Polly, John I)., Electa, and James. §§ 8, 28. — C. K. M.

 when discovered, they would salute her with an " Ugh ! " and ask 
 for bread or meat, which, if she had, she always gave them. They 
 were always very friendly. The squaws would frequently come 
 and visit her ; and, when she was lonesome, she would take Jehiel 
 and go and visit them. These unquestionably were visits with- 
 out gossip. At the time John D. was a babe, the squaws all flocked 
 in to see the white pappoose ; one of them had him on her lap 
 jabbering over him, "pretty pappoose," etc. Polly was then five or 
 six years old, and standing a little way from them, somewhat 
 excited and afraid the squaws would carry him off. The squaw 
 noticed her fear, and called her up to her, and took off a silver 
 brooch she wore, and pinned it on the little girl's dress. This 
 she kept twenty or more years, and finally lost it. There was 
 not much travelling here in that early day, except on horseback. 
 Fortunately for both her and her husband she had become in her 
 earlier days a good and fearless rider. She owned an active, in- 
 telligent horse, and a side-saddle and bridle (both of which her 
 brother William made) ; the saddle is in the possession of the 
 family, and still good and serviceable ; and thus equipped she was 
 ready for almost any travelling emergency, alone or in company 
 with her husband. The nearest post-oflice was at Canandaigua, 
 twenty-six miles distant ; the nearest white settlement at Lima, 
 twelve miles. She would often, in the fall of the year, get on to 
 her horse and go to the latter place, get a bag of apples, put them 
 on before her, and take them home. One instance of her going 
 out on horseback to bring in game, I have often heard tell. Porte, 
 as she sometimes called her husband, went out one night to hunt 
 up the cows, and while looking for them came across a large buck, 
 and shot him. He was so large he could not carry him home ; so 
 he returned home, told her what he had done, and that he wanted 
 some help. She got on to her horse, and they started for the deer ; 
 by hard struggling they got him on the horse forward of her, and 
 thus she carried him home. Many were the trials and depriva- 
 tions she had to pass thi-ough during the first ten or fifteen years 
 after they moved here ; but having a firm, strong hand in her 
 husband to lean upon, with a true woman's hope and fortitude, 
 with the sympathy of friends, both red and white (for all were 
 her friends), she passed thi'ough all triumphant, and lived many 
 years to enjoy their achievements, honored and respected by all, 
 and by all lamented when she passed on to spirit life, to-enjoy the 
 home there prepared by her spirit daughter and angel friends, to- 
 gether with their society in the summer-land. One half of her 
 family are now with her ; the other still here working out their 
 destiny.* 
 
 Her spirit has flowu to that beautiful laud, 
 
 Where sorrows aud trials are o'er, 
 There waiting aud watchiug with her angel baud 
 
 Till the rest of her loved ones reach the shore. t

SKETCHES. — FOURTH GENERATION. 339 
 
 201. William (my father) was the fourth son. He learned 
 the trade of a saddler and harness-maker of Jacob Williams of 
 Haverhill, and he became a superior workman. If the side-saddle 
 bequeathed by Mrs. Alexander was in beautiful design and work- 
 manship equal to his make, it was a gift worth having. In 1808 
 he married Stira Young, whom he had found at her uncle's, Mr. 
 Williams. He did business for a sliort time in Vermont, but 
 soon went to Bath, where he remained until his death in 1854. 
 His business was good until the war of 1812 and the embargo 
 which preceded it. After that and during the war it was impossible 
 to obtain the needful stock at living prices, and the depression 
 continued long after the war. In the fall of 1825, he sold to 
 Edmund Brickett and went to the Upper Village as a dejnity 
 sheriff, hoping by an out-of-door life to obtain relief from 
 asthma, with which he had been severely afflicted, but which still 
 followed him. He was for many years a great sufferer from it. 
 His new employment, although in some respects favorable to 
 health, was upon the whole a hard one, and not greatly remuner- 
 ative. His circuit was large, requiring two or three horses.* For 
 fifteen long years he rode through Haverhill and Bath and over 
 the hills of Lyman, Littleton, Dalton, Franconia, Lisbon, and 
 Landaff, in the hardest storms and coldest weather, and by night 
 as well as by day, and often, in the closing days for the service 
 of writs, for twenty-four hours continuously. His duty was also 
 the more trying because of the rigor of the laws against debtors. 
 There was then no homestead exemption, and but a beggarly ex- 
 emption of household goods, and one might be put in jail for any 
 sum over thirteen dollars and thirty-three cents. In law a man's 
 house is his castle if he keeps the outer door closed. There was 
 great discontent and some threats t in the debtor portion of the 
 
 * One of his first losses was a valuable horse. Iii driviug into a man's 
 door-yard the horse stepped upon an axe that had been carelessly left and 
 turned up the sharp edge, and it completely severed the cord. 
 
 t His experiences were sometimes ludicrous. Once the creditor, knock- 
 ing at the door, was admitted by the mistress of the house, but catching 
 sight of the officer she shut the door quick and knocked the creditor down 
 with a ladle. My ftxther, hearing the outcry, did not mind the "castle," 
 but went to the rescue as soon as possible. The poor fellow was consid- 
 erably hurt and a good deal "scart." At another time, a spunky woman 
 sat down upon a trap-door to prevent his going into the cellar, and, in 
 his lifting the door to go down, and her struggle to prevent it, she lost 
 her hold, and both fell to the bottom of the cellar. He went to arrest a 
 man whose name is gone from me, but whom we will cull Stickney, and 
 found him at work with a breaking-up hoe. Stickney marked a line upon 
 the ground, and told him if he stepped over it he would strike him down. 
 My father, cautiously edging up to the line, and keeping his eye on Stick- 
 ney, said, " Where is your line? " Stickney lowered his iioe to point it out ; 
 his guard was down — one spring, and he was in the "clutches of the 
 law," and held there. It would be a strong man that could get away from 
 my father's grasp. I never heard of his wrestling but once after his mar- 
 riage, and that was with Ira Goodall (the well-known lawyer at Bath), a 
 larger man than my ftither, but not as strongly built; my father threw 
 him.

 community. Various were the expedients to get inside the dwell- 
 ing-house and attach the goods, but no one could ever complain 
 that he executed the law with unnecessary severity. Many had 
 occasion to remember his kindness, and he was universally re- 
 spected, even by those against whom he must execute the law. 
 
 He was a Freemason, and in his regalia, which set off his fine 
 figure to advantage, as proud as need be, in the eyes of his admir- 
 ing sons the perfection of manly beauty. In the excitement 
 which followed the abduction and supposed murder of Morgan, 
 he, in deference to the feelings of his brethren, did not for some 
 time go to the communion, until his good pastor (the Rev. 
 David Sutherland) could stand it no longer, and would have him 
 back. The position he took was that he could not renounce and 
 become an anti-Mason,* but he would not meet with the lodge, 
 and to this he adhered. 
 
 He was an enthusiastic admirer of Gen. Jackson, and from 
 Jackson's first election generally went with the Democratic party. 
 He had only a tolerable common-school education, but was fond 
 of books, and a man of intelligence and general information on 
 all the leading topics of the day. He was of unflinching courage 
 and indomitable will, and a strict disciplinarian with his children, 
 but they always knew that back of any ajjparent harshness there 
 was a wealth of affection for them, and a life of self-denial for 
 their welfare. 
 
 In the Appendix to Mr. Sutherland's Address to the Inhabi- 
 tants of Bath, it is said of his conversion : " On the second 
 Sabbath of September, 1820, the late Wm. Morrison, Esq., Mr. 
 Jacob Hurd, and Mr. Ebenezer Ricker became deeply affected in 
 view of their lost and ruined state as sinners, and during the 
 subsequent Aveek their wives and several others were awakened. 
 , . . Among all classes the salvation of the soul was for several 
 months the all-engrossing subject. As the results of this great 
 and glorious revival, more than a hundred united with the Con- 
 gregational church, and a considerable number with the Methodist 
 church." The profession thus made was maintained ever after. 
 From my earliest recollections of home the family altar was 
 there, and my father a priest in his own house continuously. 
 
 But the time came when he must be separated from his family. 
 He had repurchased his former dwelling from Mr. Brickett as 
 early as 1839, and there he remained. The asthma, from which 
 he had suffered so long, had left him, but in its place was cancer, 
 first on one of his feet and then on his body, breaking down his

 be a " Mason," or at least an "Odd Fellow," to succeed. They All all 
 prominent places of honor or profit. Not to go beyond my own profes- 
 sion, six out of seven of the supreme court judges are Masons, and the 
 seventh may be. And yet, having regard to the best interests of the com- 
 munity, I do not advise my nephews to join this or any other secret 
 organization of like character; and in this I follow my father in his later 
 years. None of his sons ever joined a lodge. None of them were ever 
 advised to.

 constitution and threatening an early, terrible death. In calm 
 submission he awaited the certain event, taking special delight in 
 reading a book furnished him by his pastor (the Rev. Mr. 
 Boutelle), entitled "The AYhole Family in Heaven." All of his 
 children of adult years, both the living and the dead, had made 
 a profession of the religion which was his comfort and support, 
 and he hoped to meet them all in heaven. God was merciful to 
 him. He was not to die the death we had feared, but of dropsy 
 in the chest. The most of his family were with him, and when 
 the end came, after the reading of the eighth chapter of Romans, 
 bowed in prayer and committed his soul to the Father of Mer- 
 cies, to which he resj)onded with the audible and hearty "Amen," 
 and so passed over Jordan. It was a bright, beautiful Sabbath 
 m.orning, and the people, with whom he had so often worshipped, 
 were in their earthly sanctuary when he entered the heavenly. 
 
 His photograph, from which the albertype is copied, Avas taken 
 but a few months before his death, and gives a very imperfect 
 likeness. But in the forehead and general outlines it well repre- 
 sents him, and in him, the prevailing features of Charter Samuel's 
 descendants. He had a large and keen light blue eye, which 
 could be very stern ; was six feet, of fine form, and in his prime 
 weighed about two hundred and twenty. He was sixty-seven 
 when he died. And what shall I say of my mother? Her dear 
 face comes up before me, full of the faith and patience and 
 love which entered into her whole life and crowned her last 
 years with glory. For nine long years after she was seventy-two 
 she was confined to her bed by a broken hip, bearing the infliction 
 with such fortitude and trust and cheerfulness, that hers was the 
 room most sought for and best enjoyed by both children and 
 friends. She died of apoplexy, Feb. 9, 1868, aged eighty-one.* 
 
 * She was Stira Young, the daughter of Joshua and Abiah (Ladd) 
 Young. Her sisters were, Thois, Polly, Lucy, aud Ruth. Thois married 
 
 Wra. Gookiu, aud Lucy, Bailey, both afterwards living at Rutland, 
 
 Vt. Ruth married Mr. Runnels, and lived in Chataugay, N. Y. She had 
 one brother, Mason Young. He was born March 24, 1791, aud when last 
 heard of was living in Michigan aud had a familj' of children. 
 
 On the father's side, she was a granddaughter of John aud Susanna 
 (Gatchel) Young. Her uncles were, Samuel, Johu, Jesse, Caleb, David, 
 Joseph, and Beujamin ; her aunts, Susanna (who married first, Mr. Wes- 
 son, and second, Johu Clement of Bath), Tryphena, Ruth, Betsey, Lucj% 
 and Polly. Tryphena married Eleazor Wheelock, son of Eleazor Wheelock, 
 the first president of Dartmouth College, aud bore him Abigail, Polly, 
 Betsey, and Tryphena, and died Sept. 1, 1790. Of these daughters, Abi- 
 gail married Josiah Bartlett of Bath. John Young, her grandfather, 
 married Susanna Gatchel at Haverhill, Mass., Oct. 7, 1746, and all of his 
 children except Benjamin and Polly were born there. Joshua's birth was 
 Sept. 26, 1755. Susanna, the wife of John Young, died about 1776, aud 
 he married Theodora Phelps, widow of Alexander Phelps of Lyme, aud 
 daughter of President Wheelock, by whom he had one child, Polly. He 
 died at Hanover in Oct. 1785, leaving a will, and making his sous Samuel 
 and Joshua, and his wife Theodora, executors. In the will he is called 
 "Esq.," and iu deeds, "Esq." and " geutlemau." Erom 1772 till about 
 the time of his death he lived aud was a large landholder in Guuthwait

 Their children were, Franklin, Mary Roach, Frederick William, 
 Maria Louise, Charles Robert, George, Louise, James Swan, 
 Henry, and Eleanor Gookin. §§8, 29. 
 
 202. RoBEKT, the fifth son, became lame from a fever-sore while 
 under age, which perhaps occasioned his entering a professional 
 life. He received an academic education at Haverhill, where he 
 was noted as a scholar. He studied medicine with Dr. Wellman, 
 of Piermont, a physician in good practice and of excellent repu- 
 tation. In 1814 he was married to Ann Ford, of Piermont, and 
 entered upon the practice of medicine at Campton. He was of 
 
 (uow Lisbon), and was, perhaps, the " Maj. John Young " who represented 
 Bath, Guuthwait, and other class towns in the General Court, in 1784-5, 
 although the representative may have been his son John, instead. His 
 sons John, Samuel, .lesse, and Joshua were officers in the Revolutionary 
 war, and in Gen. Bedel's command. Joshua was at one time on Gen- 
 eral Stark's staff. 
 
 Gen. Ira Young, a lawyer of celebrity at Lancaster, was a son of Samuel 
 Young, and " Dan " Young, a noted Methodist preacher, who died at Cin- 
 cinnati about 1850, was a son of Jesse. Joshua was a brilliant officer, but 
 became intemperate, and, in a fit of drunkenness, put opium in his liquor, 
 and so died. 
 
 On the mother's side, she was a granddaughter of Ezekiel and Ruth 
 (Hutchins) Ladd. Her uncles were, Joseph, Ezekiel, Moody, and James, 
 and her aunts, Molly, Hannah, and Abigail. Joseph married Ruth Ring ; 
 Ezekiel, Elizabeth Swan; Moody, Polly Williams, and James, Lucy 
 Sellons. Molly married Jacob Bailey; Hannah, John Bailey, and Abigail, 
 Jacob Williams; and ray mother, after her father's death, lived with her 
 aunt Williams, until her marriage. Ezekiel Ladd, better known as Judge 
 Ladd, was born at Haverhill, Mass., April 10, 1738, and was the son of 
 Daniel and Mehitable (Roberts) Ladd, who himself was the son of Daniel 
 and Susanna (Hartshorn) Ladd of said Haverhill. From a variety of 
 circumstances it is probable that this last Daniel was the Daniel Ladd 
 who was captured by the Indians in their raid upon Haverhill, Mass., in 
 ir>97, and his father, Samuel, killed by them at the same time. This 
 Samuel married Martha Corlis of said Haverhill, 1674. He was born at 
 Haverhill, Nov. 1, 1649, and was the son of Daniel and Ann Ladd. 
 Judge Ladd was a very prominent and much-esteemed citizen of Haver- 
 hill, N. H., where he died in 1818, aged 80. His wife, Ruth Hutchins, 
 was the daughter of Joseph and Zarusha (Page) Hutchins, and was born 
 at Haverhill, Mass., March 29, 1741. She died in 1817, aged 76. Said 
 Joseph was born at Haverhill, Mass., May 29, 1689, and was the sou of 
 Joseph and Johannah (Corlis) Hutchins. They were married at said 
 Haverhill, Dec. 29, 1669. Mrs. Judge Ladd's brothers were Will, Timothy, 
 William, Jeremiah (born Jan. 15, 1736-7), Timothy, and Joseph. Jere- 
 miah Hutchins settled at Bath. 
 
 Rev. Grant Powers, in his History of the Coos Country, says: "The 
 wife of Judge Ladd related to me her extreme mortification on the first 
 Sabbath she attended meeting at the Ox Bow. . . . She thought she nuist 
 appear as well as any of them, and put on her wedding silks, with ruffled 
 cufl"s, . . . and brilliant sleeve-buttons, silk hose, and florid shoes. Her 
 husband also appeared in his best, . . . but she observed that they went 
 alone, sat alone, returned alone, . . . for it was not possible to get near 
 enough to any of the females to hold conversation with them, for each sat 
 or stood at a proper distance lest they should soil her dress. ... On their 
 return home she told her husband she had learned one lesson, and that 
 was, rohrn among Romans conform to Bomans. The next Sabbath she 
 appeared in a clean check linen gown and other articles in accordance, 
 and she found very sociable and warm-heai-ted friends."

 pleasing address, a fine singer, a good physician, capable, as one 
 who knew him says, of ministering to both body and soul, and 
 became very popular. But he entered upon a large practice with 
 so much ardor that he died in 1819, universally lamented. The 
 old inhabitants still speak of him with much affection. The 
 inscription upon his gravestone is : —

 pius and a martyr to extensive practice. As a Husband, Parent

 1794, and was not quite sixteen when she married him. He Avas 
 born at New Haven, Ct., in 1785, and died at Conesus March 
 31, 1829. Their children were, Lucinda A., Henry, Betsey, Olivia, 
 Seymour Norton, Mary Ann (Mrs. Allen), and Stira Elizabeth.*

 " I don't know as there was anything eventful in my mother's life. She 
 left Bath Village to come home with a\uit Alger, wlio was there on a visit. 
 Grandmother and my mother were at your father's. Our mother was 
 there going to school. Your father took a great deal of interest in my 
 mother, and in helping grandmother. As you will see, she was the 
 youngest of the family. She was to come and stay until spring, and 
 then grandmother was to come for her, she not knowing but what she 
 could go back when she pleased. Grandma and uncle did not oppose her 
 coming, for fear aunt Alger would not like it. It was very pleasant 
 travelling the first few days ; then my mother was sick with quinsy, but 
 they travelled on. It was in the fall of the year, October. The last day 
 they had to follow an Indian trail, that soon brought them to their little 
 village. This was something new to my mother ; she had never thought 
 her sister's home was so near the Indians. Before they reached there, 
 howevei", a neighbor came to their wagon, and said to aunt Alger, ' What 
 are you going to do with this child here in the woods and among the 
 Indians?' She was so homesick she could not sit up or walk around; 
 but when she did feel like it, she would go down to the wigwams to see 
 the squaws make brooms and baskets (they were not a hundred rods dis- 
 tant) ; then go back to think of home. She would often tell us of her 
 home East, and the people there. 
 
 "When I think of our mother, and how much she did for her children, 
 I hardly know when to stop. She was a woman of strong feelings ; she 
 read her Bible, believed in God, and was a woman of prayer. Fortune 
 indeed was not very liberal of her gifts to u.s, but she was of that pleasant 
 and cheerful disposition, it made our home so pleasant. But to go back : 
 when she came here, there was no way of getting mail, only as it was 
 brouglit from Canandaigua by a carrier on horseback a distance of tliirty 
 miles. She was informed there was a letter there for her, and was so 
 anxious to get it she could not wait for the mail-man to come, i)ut liiretl 
 a man and gave him one dollar to go and bring it to her. She hail been 
 here but a few weeks, when aunt Alger thought if she made the acquaint- 
 ance of some one and be married, she would settle here and be company

 204. Of the children of John, the son of John and grandson 
 of Charter Samuel, very little is known to me beyond what has 
 been stated (§§ 9 and 166). Their names were, David, Martha, 
 Robert, Elizabeth, Polly, Jane, Mai-garet, John, Dinah, and 
 Samuel. Margaret, who married Abraham Levey, is now living 
 at Amsterdam, N. Y., and John is or was living at Harris Corner, 
 Newcastle Co., Del., where there are two daughters. Dinah, who 
 married James Crawford, is living at Chilton, Calumet Co., Wis. ; 
 and Samuel, who married Mary Mount, died in 1837, at the age 
 of thirty-one. §§9, 33-36. 
 
 205. Thomas, the. oldest son of James, son of John, lived and 
 died at Londonderry. He Avas a wheelwright, and made the lirst 
 gig-wagon in town, — a good citizen, not prominent nor very 
 prosperous. He died in 1851 from the kick of a horse. His 
 family are scattered. Two of his sons died in the army. He 
 iiiarried Sarah Giles, and she survives him. Their children were, 
 Martha, Mark, James, Margaret, and Charles. §§ 10, 37, 270, 271. 
 
 for her; and so the introduction was made between lier and fother, and in 
 a few sliort months they were married. As time rolled on the country 
 became more settled with onr white people, but still they looked forward 
 when they could go East, but that time never, never came. In a few years 
 my father was drafted into the war of 1812, and was on the lines for one 
 year or more; and while he was in service, mother was at home with two 
 children, watching over them with many cares and anxieties. Death 
 called at her door and took her little boy; and in going to the place of 
 burial, a man took the corpse on horseback by an Indian trail two miles, 
 to what is now the oldest cemetery in town. While my father was away 
 she never thought of sleep at night, for the wolves were heard howling 
 about all night long. A school commenced about this time quite near 
 her, and Lucinda went to school. One night mother went to meet her, 
 and saw, as she supposed, a large yellow dog cross the path just in front 
 of her; but instantly the hunters came along in pursuit of the wolf, and 
 she was somewhat surprised and frightened too. Soon after my father 
 came home out of health ; and as there was no public house in town, the 
 people were anxious for him to open one ; and mother being calculated for 
 almost any kind of undertaking, they did so. About this time, a Mr. and 
 Mrs. Scott, of New York City, came into town, a very extensive laud- 
 holder, and my ftither was made tirst postmaster in towu, and the lirst 
 election that was ever held in town was held at my father's house. And 
 now mother had given up going East until her family were grown up. . . . 
 But time's busy fingers were at work, and years rolled on, and my father 
 died, and she was left with four children. Her whole thought was to 
 watch, educate, and guide them in the right path ; and by honesty, in- 
 dustry, frugality, and perseverance, we prospered and gained in worldly 
 goods ; until, in after years, we became comfortable and independent. 
 She lived to see her family grow to manhood and womanhood. Seymour 
 grew up a strictly honest and honorable mau, and has held a number of 
 town oftices, and is much sought for counsel, and I am proud to say our 
 family have always been respected, the tirst in towu. And thus she 
 passed away to the eternal world. Her memory will always remain fresh 
 with those who knew her well. She was very gentle and retiring in her 
 nature; yet nobly had she tilled up the measure of her usefulness here, 
 and we had to bow sorrowing to the inevitable, with only the accomplished 
 good they leave behind to mark their haviug lived, aud the recording- 
 angel."

 206. James, the second son, was for a while an overseer in a 
 factory at what is now Laconia. About 1816, he went to the 
 State of ISTew York, and that year was married to Betsey Hurd, 
 of Duanesburgh, Sclienectady Co. In 1850, he went to Brighton, 
 O. His daughter, Mrs. Berkley, who seems very competent to 
 state, writes of him as follows : " After coming into the State of 
 New York, he taught school about thirty-five years, and in com- 
 mon branches could not be excelled. He was a natural genius, 
 could accom}3lish anything he undertook ; and a more industrious 
 man never lived, strictly honest, strictly temperate, and I never 
 heard a profane word pass his lips." His children were, Jane 
 (Mrs. Berkley), AVellington, James, and Daniel. §§ 10, 38, 272. 
 
 207. JoH>', the third son, took the John Morrison farm in Lon- 
 donderry, and occupied it until his death in 1870, at seventy-six 
 years of age. The original dwelling-house Avas burnt, and with 
 it papers which if now existing might have been very serviceable 
 in the preparation of this chapter. His father's Bible was saved, 
 though scorched, A new house, built just across the road, has 
 been kept up, and is in good condition. John Morrison's life 
 was a quiet one. He was a prudent farmer, and was particularly 
 active in the Presbyterian church at Londonderry, of which he 
 and his Avife were members, he having united at the age of twenty- 
 one or before. His wife was Sally Coburn. They were married 
 in 1832, and she is still a sprightly and intelligent woman, to 
 whom I am indebted for many of the particulars of our branch 
 of the Morrisons. Their children were, Franklin G., James, 
 Dorcas, Elizabeth, Harlan P., Belinda, and Emeline. §§ 10, 39,

 * Morrison Bennett has this bear story of the woods about Alton Bay 
 when David Morrison settled there. " Gen. Nchemiah Morrison told me, 
 when a boy, he was coming from Gilmanton grist-mill, in the woods on 
 horseback, with a grist of meal ; he was followed by a black sheep and 
 two lambs (as he supposed), and he called them, ' Canna, Canna'; they 
 came up so close that he became suspicious, and he whipped his horse 
 and left them. Other parties saw them, and pronounced them to be a 
 black bear and two cubs." He also says, " Their market was Portsmouth, 
 one day's journey to and from on horseback, or with an ox-team loaded 
 with corn, rye, etc., in four days, forty miles."

 229. Jane was the oldest daughter and child of Dr. Moses F. 
 Morrison, of Bath. She married Rev. Alexander Nelson, d. d. 
 She was born at Bath in 1812, and in 1832, when I first saw her, 
 was mentioned as a scholar of rare promise ; and she impressed 
 me, although I was but a boy, as a very superior woman. Prof. 
 Amasa Buck, who had married her aunt, and was a noted teacher, 
 was for a time principal of an academy at Newmarket ; and in 
 1834, she became its preceptress. The Methodist Seminary at 
 Newbury, Vt., established about that time, was much celebrated ; 
 and she Avas preceptress there in 1835 and '36, discharging her 
 duties with marked ability. In 1837 and '38 she was preceptress 
 at West Poultney, Vt. After her marriage in 1839, she Avent 
 with her husband to Ohio, and both were for some years profes- 
 sors in the institutions of that State. They now reside at Shelby, 
 O., where, at sixty-eight, she is still engaged in literary pursuits. 
 Her children are Edward Thompson and Clara Albertine, both 
 distinguished scholars. In features, especially eyes and forehead, 
 she much resembled my father. §§ 23, 63, 231. 
 
 230. Albert, the oldest son, after attending Newbury Semi- 
 nary about one year, went into trade at Lyme, and did business 
 also at Bath, but in 1856 removed to Fort Dodge, la., where he now 
 resides, and with others has gone largely into land speculations. 
 At Lyme he married Luthera Cook, a woman of such sweetness 
 and excellence, that Ave all felt her loss. She died of cholera at 
 NcAV Vienna, O., in 1854. By his second wife, Elizabeth Rosen- 
 crans, he noAV has three children, Adeline Swain, Pauline Beecher, 
 and Caroline Sargent. §§ 23, 64.

 231. Adeline E. T., the second dangliter, under the skilful 
 guidance of father, uncle, and sister, and -with her native talent 
 and grace, became a well-educated and accomplished woman, and 
 like her older sister, a very successful teacher. She was precep- 
 tress of Troy Conf. Academy at West Poultney, Vt., and after- 
 wards of the Literary Institute at Nunda, N. Y. In 1846 slie 
 married James Swain, of Kunda. They removed to Buffalo in 
 1854, and from there to Fort Dodge in 1858, where they lived 
 luitil his death in December, 1877. Since her marriage her atten- 
 tion has been turned more especially to natural science and art. 
 She is a member of the Iowa Natural History Society, and her 
 name, with that of her sister (Mrs. Nelson), may be found in the 
 Naturalists' Directory, published at Salem, Mass. She has been 
 a member for several years of the National Scientific Associa- 
 tion, and read a paper before it at its annual meeting at Dubuque, 
 being the first lady who ever read such a production before the 
 association. Both she and Mrs. Nelson have become somewhat 
 skilled in painting, her forte being landscape, while Mrs. Nelson 
 excels in oil.* §§ 23, 229. 
 
 232. JoHX, the second son, much resembled his grandfather 
 Smith. In 1853, he left Bath, his native town, went to Ohio, and 
 afterwards to Iowa, and finally, in the fall of 1858, to Kansas, 
 where he located, and he is one of the oldest settlers in Barnard, 
 Linn Co., Kan. He went to that State near the close of the bor- 
 der warfare, and Avas intimately acquainted with John Brown, 
 Montgomery, Wattles, and other leaders connected with the 
 events of that day. In the late war he went out in the 15th Kan- 
 sas, a regiment raised soon after the Lawrence massacre, and Avas 
 in several engagements. He is the owner of 900 acres, 400 of 
 whicli are in his home farm, and very rich and fertile. One of 
 the most attracti^'e features in it, he says, is a beautiful mound, 
 seventy-five to a hundred feet high, round as a bee-hive, very reg- 
 
 * Mr. Swain died instantly while attending to his usual business at his 
 store. An obiluar}' notice of him says : " He was born in New Hampshire 
 in 1810; while very j'oung, his parents removed to Nunda, Livingston Co., 
 N. Y., where he resided till 1854, when he removed to Buffalo, N. Y. He 
 came to Fort Dodge in June, 1858. Since that time this city has been his 
 permanent home. When but a boy he commenced collecting a library, 
 and the money that is usually spent by boys for tobacco and rum he put 
 into books, and when he died, left one of, if not the best librarj' in the 
 State. . . . He was a quiet, unassuming man, and none but a few of his 
 intimate friends really knew him. He possessed a warm heart antl an 
 affectionate and sympathetic nature, and was never known to say a liarm- 
 ful word of any one. He never used profane language or vulgar expres- 
 sions, and no man ever lived that was more careful of the feelings of 
 others than James Swain. He was finely educated, was a deep thinker, 
 and an inveterate reader, never forgetting anything he read, and was un- 
 doubtedly the best-posted man, politically and generally, in our city. Mr. 
 Swain was a warm partisan, and was considered by his political friends 
 as the very safest of counsel. By his death, his wife, with whom he had 
 lived over thirty-one years, has lost a kind and affectionate husband, the 
 city of Fort Dodge one of its oldest business men and landmarks, and the 
 Democracy of Webster County its brains."

 ular in sh.ape, and evidently reared by natives. He married, 1st, 
 Emma S. Barrett ; and 2d, Mrs. Mary Frazelle. She was from 
 Kentucky. He was born in 1822, and is now fifty-eight. He has 
 one son by his second marriage, Albert G., born Dec. 18, 1866. 
 §§ 23, 65. 
 
 233. Hon. Napoleon B. Morrison was the third son. He 
 studied civil engineering, and Avas first employed, in a subordi- 
 nate capacity, in the survey of the White Mountains Kailroad. 
 Afterwards he was employed as civil engineer three years on the 
 Buffalo branch of the Erie, about a year and a half on the IST. Y. 
 Central, and a little over three years on the Marietta and Cincin- 
 nati. In the fall of 1863, he settled in Odin, Marion Co., 111., 
 where he still resides. He served two terms in the Illinois legis- 
 lature, commencing in January, 1873, as representative of the 43d 
 district. He also served twelve years as judge of the police court 
 of Odin. He is a dealer in hogs and grain, and is, it is said, 
 wealthy. He married Lavinia M. Smart. They have four chil- 
 dren : Jennie Bell, Nellie Beecher, Charles Hugh, and Verdie 
 Zilpha. §§ 23, 66. 
 
 234. Helen was the third daughter. She was married at Buf- 
 falo, N. Y., on the 25th of Oct. 1855, to Dr. John A. Blan chard, 
 a native of Centre Sandwich, N. H. He is now a ])ractising 
 physician at Des Moines, la. They have one child now living, 
 Lizzie, a graduate this year of Mount Holyoke Seminary, §§ 23, 
 66, 295. 
 
 235. Eugenia A., the fourth daughter, fitted herself for a 
 music-teacher, and became very proficient, and taught in several 
 schools. In 1857, she went to Illinois as music-teacher in Shel- 
 byville Seminary ; and after one year was married to Charles W. 
 Jerome,* the principal. Their home was at Shelbyville until 
 1869, when they went South, and taught four years in Shelbyville, 
 Tenn. In 1874 they returned to Illinois, and he was elected to 
 the chair of Latin and Greek in the " Southern Illinois Normal 
 University " at Carbondale, which office he still holds. She has 
 always taught music since her marriage, as well as before, plays 
 and teaches organ and piano, and is a skilled musician. They 
 have two children, Charles Morrison, born Nov. 1, 1867, and Car- 
 olena Olivia,! born Dec. 24, 1874. §§ 23, 67. 
 
 236. Pauline, the youngest daughter, married Hezekiah 
 Beecher. He is a lawyer, and engaged in his ])rofession at Fort 
 
 * Mr. Jerome was born near Syracuse, N. Y., went to 111. when a little 
 boy, and was educated at McKendree College in that State. In 1862 he 
 went as a private in the 115th Regt. 111. Vols., was promoted to reg. quarter- 
 master, and served in that capacity until the close of the war, when he re- 
 sumed his place as principal of the seminary. He is a Methodist, and one 
 of the State officers in the Sabbath-school work. 
 
 t Little Carrie, not yet six years old, her aunt Swain writes, "is a mar-

 entirely, or rather, plays without being taught. What she will 'develop' 
 into remains to be proved."

 Mr. Beecher was born in Bethany, Ct., June 19, 1828; was mar- 
 ried Dec. 13, 1858, at Fort Dodge. §§ 23, 68, 296. 
 
 237. Of the children of John MoERiso>r, of Lyme, Zadock, 
 Mary, and John died Avithout children; Margaret left two chil- 
 dren at her death, but both have since died. Roxanna married 
 Joel Whipple, of Lyme, a very respectable citizen of that town, 
 and resided there till her death. She left two children, John M. 
 and Lois G., both of whom are married. Ralph, the third son, 
 came up to the standard, being fully six feet, and weighing two 
 hundred and twenty or over, and well-proportioned. He married 
 Almira Lord, by whom he had eight children; five of them, 
 Franklin M., Mary A., Olive E., George P., and Rachel S., are 
 now living. He was living a fcAV months since at Oxford, Mich., 
 and if now living is sixty-nine. Marquis C, the foui'th son, is 
 living at Lyme upon the old homestead. He married Mary C. 
 Ball, by whom one son, Zadock H., who also lives at Lyme. 
 Lura D., the youngest daughter, now a widow, lives in Stone- 
 ham, Mass. She has a daughter, Ada L,, by her second husband, 
 David Hill. §§ 24, 69, 70,>1, 72. 
 
 238. Of the children of Samuel Morrisox, of Fairlee, sons 
 only lived to adult years ; and they were all six feet and upward. 
 Samuel, the oldest, whose great height of six feet eight inches 
 and a quarter has been mentioned, died of bilious fever Avhen 
 only twenty, at Whitehall, N. Y. His measure Avas in a hotel at 
 that place, and he Avas the tallest man Avho entered the house for 
 many years. Daniel W., the second son, Avas long in the employ- 
 ment of Mr. Tillotson, of Orford, having the care of his numerous 
 cattle. He Avas, like the sons of Jacob, a man of " activity," 
 and entii-ely trustAvorthy. He died at his son's house in Lyme in 
 1862. His Avife Avas Bertha Gage, by Avhom tAvo sons, Samuel R. 
 Morrison of Orford, and Henry Morrison of Lyme. William, 
 the third son, retained a part of his father's farm, bought addi- 
 tional land, built upon it, and lived at Fairlee until his death. 
 He Avas, until nineteen, of poAverful frame, but then liad a sick- 
 ness Avhich half-hipped him, and caused him much suffering dur-

 Ann, Avho married Charles M. W^ise, Josiah T, and Uriah B, are

 of Noah and Margaret (Morrison) Norton. The former was a 
 well-known stage i)roprietor at Chelsea, Vt., and in personal ap- 
 pearance much resembled my father, more than any of his sons. 
 His wife Avas Sarah Dewing, by whom a daughter, Elizabeth 
 Sarah, who married Mr. Williams, and a son, Charles Elihu. Sey- 
 mour M. married Fannie Stevens, and resided a few years at 
 Strafford, Yt., and afterwards at Bethany and Conesus, N. Y. 
 He died in 1869, leaving five children, Margaret Morrison, Harriet 
 Smith, Luvia Morrill, Walter Hermon, and George Frederick. 
 Two sons had died before him, one of them by a railroad acci- 
 dent. §§ 26, 76, 77, 308.

 there in 1837. His wife was Mehitable Tibbetts, by whom a son 
 and daughter, Isaac and Clara. §§ 27, 77, 139, 140, 310, 317. 
 
 241. Betsey,* the oldest daughter, when I first saw her, over 
 forty years ago, was apparently a hopeless invalid for the brief 
 period of life that might remain. In later years she rallied won- 
 derfully, so as to be able to take care of her mother in her old 
 age, and is now at seventy-five as vigorous as most j^ersons at 
 seventy, and with scarcely a wrinkle. Her letters to me are in a 
 plain, firm, and beautiful hand, and full of life. She is and always 
 was possessed of a keen intellect, quick and sharp at repartee, 
 and whenever she met with her uncle William there was always 
 a passage-at-arms. About the time that Frederick was married, 
 he had learned of the then ascertained fact, of the purely Scotch 
 origin of the Morrisons ; and Avriting to her of the marriage, 
 soberly informed her in the same letter, that he had found out 
 that although called Scotch-Irish, we wei'e Scotch, no Irish blood 
 in us. Betsey, not knowing how to take him, wrote back, he need 
 not think that Fred's marrying Ann Sutherland (she was Scotch) 
 would make all the Morrisons Scotch. Upon his telling her once 
 how much he admired her mother Avhen he first saw her, and he 
 could not understand why the daughters should none of them 
 have been handsome, she said, "It is the abominable Morrison 
 nose." One must have his wits about him even now in joking 
 with her. At her cottage home in Fairlee, where I A'isited her a 
 few days since, she is cheerfully waiting the bidding of her Master 
 to pass to the other shore, but may she remain on this, yet many 
 years, a blessing to her friends. §§ 27, 166.

 sell Kemp, had two children, Linus Russell and James Bartlett.

 second husband, Erastus Fisk. She died in 1865 at Lisbon, a 
 most excellent woman. §§ 27, 79. 
 
 243. Hon. George W. Morrison, the second son* of James 
 Morrison, of Fairlee, was born in Fairlee, Vt., Oct. 16, 1809, and 
 lived with his parents on their home farm until the fall of 
 1830, when he entered the academy at Tlietford. After the com- 
 pletion of his academic course of study, he entered the office of 
 Judge Simeon Short, of Thetford, as a student-at-law, and read 
 with him and Presbury West, Jr., until the completion of his legal 
 studies ; and in June, 1835, was admitted to the bar of Orange, 
 his native county. Before he entered vipon the practice of his 
 profession, he travelled to some extent in New York, Pennsylvania, 
 Maine, and New Hampshire, and on his way home to Vermont, 
 stopping at Amoskeag Falls in Manchester, N. H., its immense 
 water-power attracted his attention. He there learned that a 
 company of Boston capitalists were purchasing lands adjoining 
 the falls, and upon both sides of the river, with the view of build- 
 ing \;p large maniifacturing interests. He saw clearly a flourish- 
 ing manufacturing town in the immediate future, springing up as 
 by magic, holding out singular attractions to a young and ambi- 
 tious lawyer. Acting upon his own judgment Avith reference to 
 its business prospects, he decided to make Manchester his perma- 
 nent residence, and grow up with the toAvn. In 1836 he ojDcned 
 an office in Amoskeag village, subsequently removed to the east 
 side of the river, and has continued to reside in Manchester until 
 the present time. He at once took a fi-ont rank at the Hills- 
 borough bar, one of the strongest bars in the State ; and early in 
 the practice of his profession met, as antagonists, Franklin Pierce, 
 Charles H. Atherton, Charles G. Atherton, Samuel D. Bell, Mark 
 Farley, Daniel Clark, and many others, lawyers of character and 
 ability in the different counties of the State where he was accus- 
 tomed to practise. During the period of twenty-five years the 
 firms of which he was the head did as large a business, both in 
 civil and criminal cases, as any in the State. It is no disparage- 
 ment to any of the distinguished men whom he met at the bar 
 for so long a period of years, to say that, as a jury lawyer, he was 
 one of the most successful practitioners in his time at tlie New 
 Hampshire bar. Since the year 1872, by reason of impaired 
 health, Mr. Morrison has in a great measure retired from the 
 active duties of his profession. On tlie 5th of November, 1838, 
 he married Miss Maria L. Fitch, t of Thetford, mIio is still living. 
 He was elected to the State legislature and served during the 
 years of 1840, 1841, 1844, 1849, and 1850, and was one of the 
 most active and efficient members of the house. He served as 
 chairman of the committee of incorporations one year, and four

 years he served on the judiciary committee, two years of which he 
 was chairman. In 1845 he was appointed to the office of solicitor 
 of Hillsborough County, w^hich he resigned after a service of 
 nearly four years. He served in the 31st and Avas re-elected and 
 served in the 33d congress. It was during the 33d congress that 
 the slavery question was reopened by the introduction of the 
 Kansas-Nebraska bill. Mr. Morrison's personal and political 
 relations Avith President Pierce had been for many years of the 
 most intimate and confidential character ; and as he was regarded 
 as one of the ablest members of the New Hampshire delegation, 
 the President, whose congressional district he represented, was 
 exceedingly desirous that he should support the Kansas-Nebraska 
 bill, one of the leading measures of his administration. Mr. Mor- 
 rison was equally desirous to support the administration with 
 all his ability ; and in a personal interview with the President, 
 so expressed himself; at the same time he told him that his pres- 
 ent convictions were against the bill, but that he would make a 
 careful examination of the measure, and would support it if, in 
 his judgment, the interests of the country demanded its becoming 
 a law. He did examine the bill, and examined it thoroughly ; 
 after which he informed the President that he regarded it as a 
 most dangerous measure, fraught with evils, should it become a 
 law, that would lead to the most disastrous results ; and painful 
 as it was to liim to differ with his friend upon one of the leading 
 measures of his administration, still he must oppose it with all 
 the energies of his mind. Among the reasons he assigned at this 
 interview as the ground of his opposition to the measure, Avas, 
 that the slavery question had but recently been settled by the 
 compi'omise measures of 1850, and to open tliat subject now would 
 prove a most dangerous experiment, would be disastrous to the 
 Democratic ]iarty in the North, and in his belief endanger the 
 perpetuity of the republic. In his speech made in op])osition to the 
 Kansas-Nebraska bill, he took the ground distinctly that slavery 
 could not for any length of time be forced upon the people of 
 that territory ; that if the bill should become a law, it would 
 destroy all harmony between the different sections of the Union, 
 and, he feared, would ultimately lead to civil Avar, and the OA'er- 
 throw of our civil institutions. For the correctness of the opin- 
 ions he entertained at that time, and so forcibly expressed, aa'c need 
 only refer to the border Avar in Kansas, Avhich soon folloAved that 
 most pernicious act; and the civil Avar of 1861, Avitli all its terri- 
 ble consequences, the results of Avhich the history of future times 
 can only determine. §§ 27, 199.

 Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New York. At the time of his 
 death, Oct. 22, 1862, he was engaged on the Weldon Hotel at St. 
 Albans, Vt. The raiders had seized some horses, and Avere taking 
 them out of the stable ; the owner drew a revolver, and the leader 
 ordered his men to lire. It was just at that moment that Mr. 
 Morrison, hearing a disturbance, came round a corner, and was 
 shot by a bullet intended for the owner of the horses. The ball 
 passed into the abdomen ; yet the attending surgeon held out a 
 hope of recovery, which was delusive, for he died about two days 
 after, leaving his devoted wife and stricken children to mourn 
 his untimely end. It seemed a strange providence that he should 
 have fallen by an act of war while engaged in peaceable pursuits, 
 hundreds of miles from any known hostile force. His wife was 
 Mary A. Elliott, of Boscawen; and the children who survived 
 him were, Maria Louise, Frank Elinus, Mary Augusta, George 
 Sumner, and Nellie Marian. §§ 27, 80, 199. 
 
 245. Ika Parker, the next son, took the homestead, and for 
 several years after his father's death was a prosperous farmer. 
 He then engaged in the lumbering business, but was caught in 
 the hard times. He has now resumed his first occupation at 
 Lyme, and with his many good qualities it is hoped may retrieve 
 his fortune. He married INIartha Marshall,* of Lyme. They have 
 three children : Analine F., Roland M., and Edson S. §§ 27, 81. 
 
 246. Mary E. Morrison, the youngest daughter, I became 
 acquainted with at Newbury Seminary. She was a modest, 
 comely, and intelligent young lady of sixteen, whom her cousin 
 was quite proud of. She died at San Francisco, Jmie 24, 1871. 
 Her husband was Timothy Sai-gent. She left a daughter, Martha 
 Ella, who married Charles C. Palmer. §§ 27, 82. 
 
 247. Davenport, the youngest son, by the law of " heredity," 
 was fond of hunting, and lost his right arm in consequence. He 
 learned the trade of a blacksmith ; but since the accident, by 
 which he lost his arm, he has been a house-painter in the summer, 
 and taught singing-schools in the winter. And as most lives 
 have more than one misfortune, a few weeks since he lost his 
 dwelling-house by fire. His first wife, Lucy M. Fogg, died in 
 1848, leaving nine children: James Kirk, Lucy Bell, Ann Maria, 
 Mary E., Charles Robert, George W., Addie F., Mattie, and 
 Elinus J. By his second wife, Jennie McNiel, he has two, Florena 
 B. and Alice M. His family reminds one of the good old times ; 
 and as he has but one arm, his brother George W., having room 
 and ample means, has generously had two of them, Lucy Bell 
 and Addie F., with him at his home in Manchester, where Addie, 
 a promising miss of sixteen summers, still remains. §§ 27, 83, 84. 
 
 248. Jehiel, eldest son of Davenport and Mary (Morrison) 
 Alger, in early life was a school-teacher, but soon married and 
 settled down upon a farm in Conesus, N. Y., upon which he re-

 mained until his death, May 24, 1857, at tlie age of fifty-two. 
 His wife was Elizabeth Allen, who still survives, and is living 
 upon the farm. They were married Feb. 25, 1827, and their 
 children were, Mary J., Davenport, William S., Electa, George 
 M., Duane B., Dewitt C, Elizabeth A., and Jehiel E. §§ 28, 85. 
 
 249. Jonx D. was the boy Avhom his sister Polly was afraid 
 would be captured by the squaws (§ 197). He was born Aug. 17, 
 1814. His first wife was Dimis Stephens, by whom he had two 
 children, J. DeWitt and Ashebell S. ; his second Avas Adeline 
 Morris, by whom four children, Sarah M., Laura B., Frank, and 
 Addie. He is a farmer and lives at Conesus, §§ 28, 87. 
 
 250. James M., the third son, attended school one summer at 
 Clinton, Oneida Co., N. Y., a year and over at Livonia, and 
 some over tAvo years at Lima, Livingston Co. He then read law 
 about two years with Northrop & Smith of Livonia, one summer 
 with Hadle'y & Brittan at Troy, the remainder of the third year 
 with Endress & Vanderlip of Dansville, Livingston Co. He re- 
 ceived his diploma at the superior court at iSTew York City, May 
 14, 1847, after an examination in the usual way, and located at 
 Conesus, "N", Y. ; but of late years has given his attention princi- 
 pally to farming. His graphic sketch of his mother appears in 
 § 197. His wife was Mary Jane Stone, by whom two children, 
 James S. and Kittie. §§ 28, 89. 
 
 251. Polly was the oldest of the two daughters who lived to 
 adult years. She was born in 1810 ; she married at twenty-two, 
 but before her marriage was a school-teacher. Her husband was 
 Eev. Sylvester Morris, of Conesus. Twenty years ago their eastern 
 cousins had a very pleasant visit from them and her sister Electa 
 and our cousin Elizabeth Mc Vicar, from which and their corre- 
 spondence we judged the stock had not degenerated or lost any of 
 its excellence by emigrating to York State. Mr. Morris died in 
 February, 1877. Her children are, Sylvester B., Orlando K., 
 Davenport A., Mary E., and John D. Of these, Orlando and 
 Mary are still living with her at Conesus upon the home farm. 
 He is a civil engineer. The others have interesting families of 
 their own. §§ 28, 86, 150, 151, 152, 323, 324. 
 
 252. Electa, the younger sister, was the one to whom my 
 father sent Mary's Bible, as stated in § 254. It must have been 
 a mark of special regard. He had visited them all about one 
 year before. Electa married Nathaniel Cole, by whom two cliil- 
 dren, Eugene A. and Romaine W. Her husband, Nathaniel Cole, 
 died in 1872, but she is still living at Conesus. §§ 28, 88, 254. 
 
 253. Franklix, the oldest son of William Morrison, of Bath, 
 July 4, 1825, left home on foot for a journey of a hundred miles 
 over the Green Mountains to Rutland, Vt. He was sixteen his 
 next birthday, Sept. 9. His uncle, William Gookin, in connection 
 with Richard Gookin, had just commenced the paper-making 
 business, and Franklin went as an a})prentice during his minority. 
 He had, for a lad of his age, a good common-school education

 (no boy need fail of tliat in Bath Village from the time the 
 Rev. David Sutherland came to Bath in 1805), and by the agree- 
 ment with his uncle he was to have further schooling. He came 
 home once during his term in 1828, and again in 1830, after he 
 was twenty-one. His uncle, from the state of his affairs, not 
 being able to give him a suitable place, upon his return from his 
 last visit, he went to South Lee, Mass., whei-e he remained till his 
 death, Nov. 17, 1831. Seventeen letters, mostly to his sister, were 
 sacredly kept, and extracts from some of them will show his 
 character. 
 
 Jan. 8, 1826. "I found a long road to Rutland. I came as 
 far as Chelsea the first day ; the next day I came within seven- 
 teen miles, which I thought was travelling fast. I was some 
 tired, but liad time to rest before the mill started. I am very 
 well contented here. . . . Give my love to Jane,* and tell her 
 that I am well. I understand you came home sick of Concord. 
 . . . Tell Bartlett French f that I am most a paper-maker. . . . 
 I wish you all a happy New Year." 
 
 June 25, 1826. "I am contented here, and like the paper- 
 making business very well. . . . Tell B. F., if you see him, that 
 if he wishes to buy, I will sell him some paper, and take my pay 
 in pills.'" 
 
 Jan. 14, 1827. "You know my expectations when I came 
 here, which I hope will be gratified, but time will determine. . . . 
 I had a double portion of schooling last winter, so that I do not 
 go this winter. I do not know but I shall be as good as my word, 
 that is, not come home until I am of age ; but I think that I 
 shall come home by the time I have been here two years." 
 
 Sept. 24, 1827. "I am now so that I can work with most any 
 of them. . . . They tell me here if I were to go home my 
 folks would not know me, but I think I should know them, I 
 generally improve my leisure moments in reading, which I be- 
 lieve I am as fond of as ever." 
 
 April 10, 1829. "I have about two months left of my school- 
 ing, which I shall have next winter. ... I cannot tell how it 
 will be about my taking charge here, as it is doubtful how things 
 will turn," 
 
 April 9, 1830. " My health is very good, and I have not lost 
 above thi'ee or four days since I begun my apprenticeship. I 
 shall soon have my trade, but now it is not good for much, wages 
 are so low. A journeyman that could get four dollars per week 
 when I began my trade can get no more than three and a half, 
 and half store-pay, Avhich is poor encouragement." 
 
 * Jane was the daughter of James I. Swau, a very eloquent and able 
 advocate, located at Bath, from 1807 until his death, April S, 1820, at the 
 age of forty. My father, who was ou very intimate relations with him, at 
 his re(iuest, became her guardian, and she made her home with him until 
 her marriage to the late Hon. Chester C. Hutchins, of Bath.

 March 13, 1830. " I have attended scliool about eight weeks ; 
 my studies liave been rhetoric, natural pliilosophy, and chemistry, 
 besides my old ones." 
 
 July 8, 1830. This letter gives a long and interesting account 
 of his conversion, after which he says : " Perhaps you cannot 
 read the whole of my letter, but this you may read, that I am 
 happy in the love of Christ. ... I can join the Methodist 
 society, and indeed, sister, they want me as a class-leader, but I 
 shall not accept on account of my youth and inexperience." 
 
 South Lee, July 12, 1881, "I feel interested in all that tran- 
 spires at home. ... It was there that I learned to lisp the name 
 of father, mother, brother, and 'twas there, amid our childish 
 sports, I first loved you with a brother's love. . . . Six years 
 have rolled into eternity since I crossed the Green Mountains to 
 learn my trade. Then five years looked long, but 't is gone, and 
 I am now two hundred miles from home, endeavoring by hard 
 labor to lay up sufticient treasure upon earth to enable me to pass 
 through this unfriendly world unoppressed by the rich and be- 
 loved by the poor. . . . Paper-making is poor business for jour- 
 neymen, and a man needs to be worth enough to live without 
 work to set up the business ; and I have been advised by Dr. M. 
 to study medicine. . . . Shall I remain ignorant as I am, or 
 shall I attempt to rise in the world? Sometimes I think I am too 
 anxious about this world." 
 
 South Lee, Oct. 7, 1831. "I was pleased to hear such good 
 news from home, and especially of the conversion of some 
 of my old mates ; and it is my daily prayer, ' Thy kingdom come.' 
 Never was there such a time as the present. The Lord is doing 
 wonders in our land. ... I have done with physic. I have a 
 good chance to make myself acquainted with paper-making, as 
 the foreman is more willing to give me instruction than any other 
 hand in the mills, especially in colors, wliich I suppose is owing 
 in part to my being some acquainted with chemistry, upon Avhich 
 I have an extensive work and the best in the country. ... I 
 find employment for my evenings, — two in seven at prayer-meet- 
 ino-, one with the singers (as you must know I am their chorister). 
 I have the perusal of Dr. Clark's commentary, which is the best 
 I ever saw ; this, with my chemistry and other reading, keeps me 
 busy. I find some time to think of home, but cannot tell when 
 you will see me there. The distance is such that you must not 
 expect * me very soon. ... I am but a babe in Christ ; yet the 
 Lord has seen fit to place me over the class in this place, which 
 contains about thirty members, and were it not for the promise, 
 ' My grace shall be sufiicient for you,' I should relinquish my 
 charge ; but I feel, through Christ strengthening me, I can do all 
 things, and I hope you will always remember me in your prayers. 
 
 * 111 this letter of Oct. 7, 1831, he wrote, " Wlieii railroads become 
 common, I can visit you often. There is one completed between Albany 
 and Schenectady ; the distance is fifteen miles, and requires forty minutes, 
 which is at the rate of twenty-four miles per hour."

 It is a pleasing- tliought to me that you and I have begun so early 
 to serve our Maker, and that father and mother are travelling the 
 same road ; and I ]iray God that none of our family may ever be 
 lost. Tell Jane, she must send me a piece of her wedding-cake. 
 Remember me to all my old friends at Bath. Give my love to 
 father and mother and the boys ; tell Henry that I am well, and 
 that he must be a good boy till I come home. Do not take 
 example by me, but please to write soon. Your brother, 
 
 Franklix Morrison." 
 
 It was his last letter, and one could not Avish to alter a word. 
 Six weeks from the date of this letter, the next one came. It 
 was in a strange hand, and opened, said : — 
 
 " It is my painful duty to inform you that your son Franklin 
 is dead. He expired last evening between the hours of ten and 
 eleven. His sickness was occasioned by what the doctors call 
 the sinking ty})hus fever. . . . The whole village feels the loss 
 very sensibly. By his exemplary conduct and his engaging 
 manners, he endeared himself to us all ; and he has left not an 
 enemy to say aught against him. . . . About thirty hours before 
 his death he requested me to settle his affairs and write to his 
 friends. . Henry Belding." 
 
 He was buried at South Lee, under the shadow of the moun- 
 tains. None of his kindred could reach him, and none rest beside 
 him ; but they will rise with him to meet their Lord. 
 
 254. Mary was named for her grandmother, Mary Koach 
 Morrison. She was next to Franklin, and his usual correspon- 
 dent. Early in life she was able to join with him in "childish 
 sport," but at twenty had a poor, deformed body, so weakened 
 by disease that one of her limbs was broken by the mere weight 
 of her slight frame, while walking across the floor. The malady 
 was long fought against by the best medical skill, in vain. But 
 by "the law of compensation," nature was lavish in mental gifts, 
 and she was rich in treasures of mind and heart, fitting her to be 
 queen of the realm ; and she was the inspiration of home and 
 the delight of her friends. Like Franklin, she early became a 
 Christian, even before him. He regarded her letters to him as 
 among the most effective means of his conversion, and her influ- 
 ence over her younger brothers was equally salutary. Her fea- 
 tures were regular and very expressive. She was as full of life 
 and energy and courage and hope, as any soul could be in such 
 a body. She was very warm in her attachment to home and 
 friends ; her love for the house of God and the ])lace of prayer 
 was still stronger, and she was seldom absent from either. Such 
 was her energy and her love of the beautiful in nature, — the sky, 
 the fields, the hills, the woods, the mountains, — tliat slie would 
 not be kept in-doors. We lifted her in and out of the carriage 
 as if she were a child, and she lived much in the open air and tlie 
 bright sunshine. Her life was iipon the whole a liappy one. Yet 
 her deformity was a great trial to her, and she looked forward

 with ])eculiar pleasure to her resurrection body, as free from any 
 infirmity or blemish, as well as perfect in holiness. The "bride- 
 groom's cry " was heard at midnight. Her mother being awak- 
 ened, at her request placed her in a chair, and gave her water, 
 Avhich she drank with great eagerness, saying, " Good, Good," 
 and after a peculiarly exultant laugh, her heart was still ; she was 
 " ]n-esent Avith our God," where she had " long'd and Avish'd to 
 be." Her Bible, full of expressive marking of the passages she 
 loved most, was sent by father to our cousin, Electa Alger. § 29. 
 255. Frederick W., the second son, unlike his brothers, was 
 shrinking and bashful, apparently unfitted for rough contact with 
 a selfisli world. He was apprenticed to Peter Bonney, of Little- 
 ton, to learn the trade of a tanner and currier. While there he 
 had an attack of typhus fever, and for many days was upon the 
 border-land betwixt life and death, but finally recovered. After 
 his apprenticeship, he went to the then West, was taken sick, ten- 
 derly cared for at his aunt Alger's, and on his recovery came 
 home. His father then built a small tannery, and " Wm. Morrison 
 & Son " went into business at Bath Upper Village. It prospered 
 for a while, but losses at the South and other reverses followed, 
 and the business there was given up. Frederick then purchased 
 a i-ight of water and built a tannery at the lower village, married, 
 built him a dwelling-house, and remained for several years. But 
 still he did not prosper ; and after selling his interest in the prop- 
 erty for barely enough to carry him and his family to Iowa, he 
 removed to Grinnell (then a new colony) in 1856. For many 
 years he had studied and experimented in tanning glove-leather, 
 always confident of success, but never quite succeeding, until he 
 went to Grinnell, where he finally established a prosperous busi- 
 ness, acquired a competency, and " F. W. Morrison & Son, sole 
 manufacturers of the Morrison goat-skin glove," became a widely 
 known firm. With his reserve, he was persistent and possessed 
 of an excellent understanding ; was a reading and thinking man. 
 In 1843 he married Ann, the daughter of the Rev. David Suther- 
 land,* to whose good sense and many womanly qualities and 
 
 * He was boru at Edinburgh, Scotland, June 19, 1777. He served an 
 apureiiticeship iu a printing-office, but at nineteen he entered the theolo- 
 gical seminary founded by the famous Haldane, graduated the last week 
 in the eighteenth century, and crossing the Atlantic, preached first at 
 Barnet, Vt., but in 1805 settled at Bath. It was his only pastorate and 
 greatly blessed. His rare gifts and great excellence of character would 
 have commanded a much larger field of labor, but he declined all oilers, 
 and chose to remain with his people. He was a pioneer in establishing 
 Sabbath schools in this country, and iu the cause of temperance, and 
 greatly advanced the common schools. He resigned his pastorate in 1843, 
 but continued to preach in difierent places up to 18o-i. I remember with 
 what emphasis he at my father's funeral spoke of his own hope: "I 
 knoiv that my Redeemer liveth." The day before his exit, feeling that 
 his departure' was near, he raised his eyes towards heaven, and said, 
 •' Father, I thank thee for the clearness of intellect, now when I am about 
 to be ushered into the presence of the eternal God, the Lord .Jesus Christ, 
 the holy angels, the spirits of the just made perfect; I thank thee that I

 patient effort he was much indebted for his ultimate success. He 
 was for many years a professor of religion, and his religious char- 
 acter was irreproachable. He died Aug. 16, 1876, of disease of 
 the kidneys, which had been upon him for two or three years, but 
 from which no immediate danger was apprehended. When told 
 he was dying, he said, " I can hardly realize it, but it is well, — 
 my trust is in Christ." The children who survived him were, 
 Mary Louise, David Sutherland, and Anna Jane. Two promising 
 sons, Frank Henry and Leon Goodall, had died before him, just 
 as they were entering upon manhood. §§ 29, 90. 
 
 256. Hon. Charles K. Morrison was the third son. He was 
 born at Bath, Jan. 22, 1819, and named for his uncle Robert, who 
 died in July of that year. My recollections of him go back of 
 the time of his first going to school. He was then three or four 
 years old. He was always a strong, resolute boy, full of life and 
 activity, fond of play, but willing to work, and loving books. 
 The morning of Feb. 12, 1824, he was called up by his brothers 
 before daylight, to look upon a sight which he never forgot. The 
 day previous there was a great rain. It left the roads and streets 
 clean, carried off all the loose snow, and swept away the bridge 
 over the Ammonoosuc. The same night a fire broke out, and 
 raging with great violence, destroyed many of the buildings and 
 most of the principal stores. "When he looked out of the window, 
 what he beheld was a sheet of ice from the top of the hill, flooded 
 streets, glowing coals, and smoking ruins. He was five years old 
 the month before. The same summei", in his venturesome* way, 
 he went in swimming Avith older boys. He could not swim. He 
 could wade; and the day before, in another place, had waded up 
 to his chin, and of course could do it again ; so he thought. But 
 in water up to his armpits, one step more, and lie was in deep 
 
 know my acceptance with thee through the merits of my adored Re- 
 deemer." A little while l^efore he was released from his sufleriniis he was 
 heard to say, " Whv are the chariot- wheels so long in coming? Come, 
 Lord Jesus, come quickly ! " and "Oh, give me patience!" Scarcely had 
 he uttered these words, when he passed away without a struggle or a 
 groan. 
 
 * When about eleven years old, he went with Frederick (who was six 
 years older) and other boys of Fred's age, three quai'ters of a mile up a 
 logging road in the woods for spruce gum. A tree was found well cov- 
 ered about six rods from the path, and they crowded about it, helping 
 themselves as fast as they could. Soon they heard a ci'ackling of the 
 bushes, as of some animal coming towards them. " 'Tis — 'tis a bear! " 
 they shouted, and started ; but not all of them. The youngest boy stood 
 in his tracks, and looked to see what it was ; and when he saw the fero- 
 cious bea.st not twenty rods off, with his fore-paws upon a fallen tree and 
 looking sharp at him, then it was, " Stop, Fred ! " " Come along," he said, 
 in reply, scarcely slacking his pace; and his younger brother did " come 
 along," at a rate that soon put liini at the head, and he reached the open 
 field in advance of any of them ; but he never lost his propensity to see 
 if it is a l)ear before running from it. The creature was trapped that 
 night, and proved to be a large wolf. It was put on exhibition next 
 morning, and the boys, now safe, looked on with wonder at their escape. 
 It was an event in their lives.

 water, struggling and screaming for help. The boys could not, 
 or did not, help him; but just as he was touching bottom* for the 
 last time, he was saved by good Dea. Alvan Hastings,t who hear- 
 ing the cry from his shoji, ran with all speed a quarter of a mile 
 to the rescue. It was with much satisfaction that the lad, thus 
 rescued, himself, in after years could feel he had paid the debt, by 
 })lunging into the Connecticut and saving a young man, a fellow- 
 student at Newbury Seminary, who Avas drowning. In 1825, 
 Avhen he was six, he drove his father's cows back and forth to 
 ])asture a mile off, and through woods a portion of the way. In 
 the fall of that year, the family moved to the Upper Village. 
 There he soon took care of the horses, went to school, did such work 
 as his father had for him, and working for farmers a portion of the 
 time. Three years in succession, from the time he Avas fourteen, 
 he worked through haying for Mr. Samuel Bartlett, doing almost 
 a man's work. The first of his going there his temperance prin- 
 ciples were tried. Mr. B. said, "Charles, you are not used to 
 this, and you had better take something to prevent your being 
 sick." "No, I thank you." It so happened that B. and his tAvo 
 brothers fell sick, Avhile the temperance boy came out " all right." 
 His schooling Avas not neglected, and the schools iisually were 
 excellent. At thirteen he had " ciphered through " Adams's old 
 arithmetic ; at fourteen, his father brought home Greenleaf's 
 Grammar, in Avhich, under Caleb Hunt's faithful training, he 
 became proficient. When he Avas about fifteen, he had another 
 providential escape from instant death, Avhile engaged Avith his 
 father in cutting trees on the hill opposite the village. They cut 
 the trees and trimmed them out, and, once started, the logs ran very 
 SAviftly doAvn the icy hill to the river, making a deep, circuitous 
 path, Avhich had been iuA^ariably folloAved. One large tree, for some 
 cause, stopped half-Avay doAvn. By his father's direction, he 
 started it Avith a lever ; but getting the Avrong side of the lever, 
 Avas throAvn into the track and caught in a bush, and Avas helpless ; 
 nor could his father help him. The tree struck out a iicav path 
 to the riA'er. Not a Avord Avas spoken by either till the danger 
 Avas past. The next morning, his father said, "You did not seem 
 frightened till the danger Avas over, and then you Avere as Avhite 
 as a sheet." 
 
 About this time his father built a tannery, and he Avorked in 
 that, under his brother. In the summer of 1836, he Avorked at 
 
 * How did the drowninj? boy feel? The strucffle Avas over. He was 
 not old enough to have any distinct apprehension of the future. The 
 Avater seemed very beautiful to him. He shuddered as he thought of the 
 mud-turtles, and thought how sorry mother would be; that was all. 
 
 t Deacon Hastings' death Vvas from a sad accident. In June, 1851, as 
 he was coming from the Weeks neighborhood to Bath Village, his horse 
 took fright and run, and he was thrown out and killed. His youngest 
 daughter, who was with him, escaped without injury. His sons David and 
 Joshua pursued his calling, and are prosperous jewelers on Washington 
 Street, Boston.

 Sugar Hill, Lisbon, in the tannery of Levi * and James Parker. 
 In the fall of that year he went to Newbury Seminary, and the 
 winter after, at Bath, taught his first school. He continued his 
 attendance at this seminary, s}»ring and fall, three years, teaching 
 school (at Littleton) in the winter, and going into the hay-tield in 
 the summer, working with a will with tTie best of them, as John 
 Gordon, Sullivan Hutchins' foreman, will attest. While at New- 
 bury, he boarded himself nmch of the time, walking home Satur- 
 day afternoon, a distance of about ten miles, and returning 
 Monday morning, which, as he was swift on foot, was no great 
 hardship. His marking for scholarship was with the highest. 
 Jidy 12, 1839, Charles Adams, principal of the seminary, gave 
 him a letter to the faculty of Dartmouth College, saying of him, 
 that he was "a young gentleman of good talents and manners, 
 and unexceptionable in his moral character "; that he "has read 
 and reviewed the preparatory books, and is cheerfully recom- 
 mended by me as a suitable candidate for membership in the 
 freshman class at the next commencement." President Adams 
 had taken even more than his usual interest in him as a student, 
 and had placed him at different times in charge of the classes in 
 grammar, arithmetic, and geometry; and when he found he had 
 decided not to enter college, he rebuked him sharply. If he had 
 known all the circumstances, he might not liave done it. Upon 
 returning home, his father said, "Which of the three professions, 
 the ministry, the medical, or the legal, Avill you enter?" The son 
 answered, that from his experience so far, he did not think him- 
 self adapted to the pulpit, medicine he did not like, and if he 
 could succeed he should like to go upon the bench. " Goodall f 
 & Woods," upon lieing consulted, advised the law, and, as he 
 w^as situated, without his attempting a college course. He 
 entered their office in July, 1839, and after an examination by a 
 committee t of the bar, was a recognized student-at-law. In 1840 
 Mr. Woods was appointed to the bench ; but after that, as well 
 
 * His fellow-workmau was Eleazer B. Parker, a sou of Levi. Levi 
 was one of tlie governor's council in 18G-t, and Eleazer a senator from 
 District No. 12 in 1873 and 1874 ; and both were very capable. The 
 son is still living at Fraucouia. James Parker is also living at Littleton; 
 he was not as prominent as his brother, but always much respected. 
 
 t Mr. Goodall had done a very heavy business and accumulated a large 
 estate for those times. But he branched out into trade in various places, 
 with dirterent partners, who proved incapable or dishonest, lost heavily by 
 them, also by tires, entered into railroading and lost there, and at last, 
 greatly embarrassed, became a mental wreck, and ended his days in tlie 
 Wisconsin Insane A-ylum. It is probal)le that the disease (softening of 
 the brain) was upon him for years, and was the cause of his downfall. 
 With prominent defects, he was a strong man in his palmy days, with 
 many excellent qualities, more than he always received credit for. 
 
 J Isaac Patterson, who was chairman of this committee, finding that 
 the proposed student had not read the last six l)ooks of Virgil, required 
 him to do it, and he recited to Mr. Patterson. Tiiis venerable relic of the 
 old bar is still living and quite hale at about ninety. Besides reatling 
 these six books, and his law-books, he taught school two winters, at Lit- 
 tleton, in 1839-40, and at Haverhill Corner in 1840-41.

 as before, was the principal instructor of their student. July, 
 1842, by a change of the rules, which before had required five 
 years for other than college gi-aduates, he was, after an exami- 
 nation, admitted to the bar, and argued several cases at the same 
 term, before the court. He at once became an equal partner with 
 Mr. Goodall, for five years. Before the expiration of the time, 
 in March, 1845, he removed to Haverhill, and the firm had an 
 oflice at each place. Aug. 4, 1851, he was commissioned by Gov. 
 Samuel Dinsmore, " Circuit Justice of the Court of Common 
 Pleas," and held the office until the overthrow of the judiciary 
 by the "Know-Nothing" party in 1855. He had not solicited the 
 appointment. He was then in his thirty-third year, and had not 
 anticii)ated any judicial office till later in life, if at all. Judge 
 Woods, who liad known and encouraged his preference for such 
 a position, interested himself to procure the appointment. It 
 was made upon letters from Judges Woods and Gilchrist, Hon. 
 Harry Hibbard, Hon. Samuel Swazey, Nathan B. Felton, Esq., 
 Joseph Powers (afterwards Councillor Powers), and others. The 
 circuit justices were three in number, to be increased to four upon 
 the occurring of a vacancy in the superior court, -when it was 
 expected that the trial of causes would be principally, if not 
 exclusively, by the circuit justices. His associates during the 
 time were George Y. Sawyer, of Nashua ; Josiah Minot, of Con- 
 cord ; Charles Woodman, of Dover ; J. Everett Sai-gent, of Went- 
 worth ; and Edmund L. Gushing, of Charlestown, vacancies having 
 occurred from time to time by resignations. He commenced his 
 work at Concord, by trial of the reported case, Sewall's Falls 
 Bridge vs. Fisk and Norcross, and had comj^leted the circuit of 
 the counties at the time of his exit. Pie had occasion afterwards 
 to look to its results, and was gratified to find that, in amount 
 and permanency, his work during those years did not suffer in 
 comparison with his associates or the judges of the superior 
 court, his rulings being generally sustained. He had made a 
 pleasant acquaintance with one of the new appointees, Henry F. 
 French, of Exeter, and Avrote him a letter of congratulation. In 
 reply. Judge French said, " I have without hesitation everywhere, 
 on proper occasions, borne testimony to your ability and upright- 
 ness in your office while on the bench, and regret that the State 
 is deprived of your services, and of those of Chief-Justice* 
 
 * Judge Woods as trial justice had few equals and no superiors, and 
 the same miglit almost be said of him as a justice of the law court and as 
 chief-justice. He was very thorough and careful in his investigations; 
 and with his large experience, sound judgment, and uprightness of char- 
 acter, his decisions were almost always sure to be right. For months 
 before the meeting of the legislature, articles had appeared in certain 
 uewspapers attacking superior court judges for receiving pay from rail- 
 roads for assessing the railroad tax. The judges who received it looked 
 upon it as proper for work outside of their judicial duties, the same as 
 judges of the present existing court, some of them, now receive numer- 
 ous fees as referees, a thing I should say of more doubtful propriety 
 than the other. (There should be an adequate and honorable salary in

 Woods, whom I Imve always esteemed and respected." And in 
 truth, he was appointed Avithout his own procurement, and, in 
 violation of the constitution, was removed without any fault on 
 his part ; and a second time, but with less interest, entered upon 
 the practice of the law. But first, he had a correspondence with 
 some of the removed judges, and prominent laAvyers in tlie State, 
 and Joel Parker, of Cambridge, with a view of testing the con- 
 stitutionality of the law in the supreme court of the United 
 States. Chief-Justice Woods was decidedly in favor of it ; one of 
 the judges, while "quite sure that the act, so far as it affected the 
 superior court, is unconstitutional," said "the remedy is the 
 ballot-box.'''' There was the same division of sentiment among 
 the lawyers. A like assault, forty years 'before, had been sum- 
 marily punished by the people. Judge Parker had " a very grave 
 doubt whether the courts of any otlier State, or of the United 
 States, would entertain * the question " ; and in view of all the 
 facts, and especially his "personal relations to the most of the 
 present incumbents," declined to be retained. The proposed 
 action was forborne for the time being, and in the exciting 
 national complications which arose, never renewed, and the 
 tenure of the judges of the highest court knoAvn to our constitu- 
 tion was ever after a rope of sand. 
 
 Upon the attack on Fort Sumter, there were two opinions 
 among leading Democrats of the State. Some, with Hon. Josiah 
 Quincy, were in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war ; others 
 were of the opinion, expressed in a letter to Ex-Judge Morrison, 
 in which the writer said, " Our governnient must be sustained at 
 all hazards, against all armed opposition. But if in putting down 
 the rebellion, you mean to reduce all the seceded States to uncon- 
 ditional submission, I fear the cost may exceed the value of the 
 acquisition. I confess that I do not plainly see the object of the 
 present war, though I do see the end. ... I fear the war, not 
 because we are not stronger than the South, not because they do 
 not deserve a beating, but because, in the contest which will 
 bring ruin ujion them, I fear that our own libei'ties may be en- 
 dangered." Judge Morrison coincided with the former. He liad 
 no doubt, as Benton had long before said, that war must follow 
 disunion ; and that it was better to fight to preserve the Union, than 
 afterwards. Accordingly, he immediately tendered his services 
 to Governor Goodwin, and afterwards to Governor Berry ; but 
 either they did not think his services would be Aaluable, or for 
 other reasons, did not choose to accept them. Finding no en- 
 full.) The hollowness of the pretext on which Judire Woods was legis- 
 lated oat of office, was shown by the appointment of Judge Eastman to 
 the new bench, who had taken more of "the stuff" than Judge Woods. 
 He felt it keenly, for he was very sensitive and high-spirited ; and such 
 a thing had not occurred in that generation, and no doubt it was the 
 cause of his early death. He died in 1863, at the age of sixty. 
 
 * The mode favored by Judge Woods was an action of trespass by 
 some citizen of another State against the persons claiming to be judges, 
 for a wrongful interference with his person or property.

 couragement at Concord, and feeling that he must have a part 
 in the struggle, Judge Morrison, upon Walter Harrinian's appoint- 
 ment as colonel of the 11th regiment, solicited of him the place 
 of adjutant, and Governor Berry graciously * commissioned him 
 " Lieutenant-Adjutant," Sept. 1, 1862. It was in the darkest period 
 of the war. He was then in his forty-fourth year. He was mus- 
 tered in Sept. 11, 1862, and served in the same capacity until 
 Sept. 19, 1864, when, Avith an honorable discharge, upon his own 
 resignation, he left the regiment. Of the places inscribed upon 
 its banner, by order of the commanding-general of the army, Ad- 
 jutant Morrison was at Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Jackson, East 
 Tennessee, the Wilderness, and Spottsylvania. When at Stanford, 
 Ky., about June 1, 1863, by direction of Colonel Harriman, he 
 wrote a history of the regiment to tliat date, which, with very 
 slight alterations, forms tlie tirst part of the military history sent 
 out by " Natt Head, Adjutant General," and without credit for 
 the authorship. No change was made in the account given of 
 the battle of Fredericksbui-g, from Avhich the subjoined account 
 is copied, t 
 
 * Governor Berry, when a poor boy, had received acts of kuidness from 
 his father, William Morrison, which he might wish to repay to his son? 
 
 t "A few minutes past twelve we were ordered to march by the right 
 flank into Princess Elizabeth Street, a short street running at right angles 
 with Caroline Street, and there to lie down upon the sidewalk, wdiich 
 order was immediately executed. This street was nuich exposed, and the 
 first casualty of the day occurred here, — Charles M. Lane, of Company 
 I, being severely Avounded in the head l)y a piece of shell. His captain 
 detailed two privates, John \\ Guile and N. Frank Brown, to carry him 
 to the hospital. Having performed this duty, they rejoined the regiment 
 upon the field of battle, and fought bravely all day. So much courage 
 and fidelity deserve honorable mention. While here stragglers from the 
 front came running along, but were promi)tl3' lialted, so that their fears 
 might not infect others. After a few minutes, the order came to proceed 
 to a railroad, at a point about ten rods in advance. The regiment quickly 
 reached the traek, and marched in perfect order by its side, about a hundred 
 rods to the right, and rested under a slight embankment. A few moments 
 more, and another order came to Colonel Harriman to advance by front, 
 cautiously, to the bottom of a slope which was pohited out, about half a 
 mile distaut, and there to lie down and await further orders. Tlie ground 
 over whicli we must pass, was an open plain, swept by the enemy's fire of 
 infantry and artillery, with nothing to divert that fire from us, and with two 
 or three fences in the way to impede our progress and add to our exposure. 
 A regiment, at that very time, w'as jxxsing us in full and disorderly retreat. 
 But the order to advance, given* on the right by Colonel Harriman, and 
 
 * The order was not given quite as soon as received. Lieut. -Colonel Col- 
 lins sheathed his sword, and said it would be a useless waste of life. Cap- 
 tain Bacon (now Hon. H. C. Bacon, of Lawrence), of Co. A, the adjutant, 
 and perhaps some others, urgetl au immediate compliance, and Col. H. 
 gave the order, and it was obeyett at once, by all but Colonel Collins, 
 and he retrieved his character at the Wilderness, Avhere he bravely died. 
 From this brief dehi}^ it liappened that the left wing, with Major Farr, 
 was slightly in advance of the right wing in passing over the field. The 
 battle was May G, 186-t. He was killed by a rifle ball. It entered the 
 back of the head, and came out at the forehead. It may have been a 
 flank shot, and a momentary turning of his head ; or it may have been

 In this battle, Adjutant Morrison was wounded twice ; first, 
 immediately upon leaving the railroad, by a piece of shell, which 
 inflicted a long, ragged, and painful wound upon the left fore-arm; 
 and again, a contusion upon the left leg below the knee, in going 
 from the head of the regiment to Col. H., who was at the centre, 
 
 on the left by Major Farr, was obeyed without hesitation, and the two 
 wings pi'oceeded upon the double-quicls; and the run, in good order, to the 
 place designated, which was not more than fifteen or twenty rods from 
 the rebel intrenchmeuts. The position, at the time we reached it, was 
 held by only a few companies from some regiment that had preceded us, 
 and for nearly two hours we sustained a tremendous fire from the enemy's 
 strongholds, almost alone. The left wing was tolerably well protected 
 by the nature of the ground, and suffered less than the right, which was 
 much exposed, and sustained heavy loss. The slope, where this wing 
 rested, would not protect it from the enemy's rifles, unless the men were 
 flat upon the ground. They were directed to lie down and load, and then 
 stand, take aim and fire, and generally did so. Some, however, were so 
 ' eager for the fray,' and reckless of consequences, that they persisted in 
 standing all the while bolt upright. The enemy, on the other hand, were 
 protected by their intrenchmeuts, which were on the elevation con- 
 siderably above us. They tired for the most part from behind their 
 intrenchmeuts, but came out occasionally to get better aim. They also, 
 in several instances, rushed down the hill, as if to make a charge, 
 but were repulsed. As often as they bf^gan to advance, the cry ran 
 along the line, 'They are coming down the hill!' 'They are coming!' 
 ' Give it to 'em ! ' ' Give it to 'em ! ' and our flre, ten times hotter than before, 
 quickly changed their purpose. At no time was there the slightest indi- 
 cation that our men would give way. The division went into battle left 
 in front, the New Hampshire Eleventh leading the brigade and division. 
 After some considerable time other regiments came to our support, and 
 were ordered to the front. In some cases this order was compiled with, 
 but in others, regiments, or considerable portions of them, remained in 
 the rear, close upon and intermingled with us, firing over our heads, in 
 spite of the eflbrts of their officers and ours, to bring them to the front. 
 After our ammunition was gone, excepting a few rounds reserved for the 
 contingencj' of a charge from the enemy, we remained upon the ground 
 mostly without any active participation in the engagement ; but Colonel 
 Harriman gave orders to fix bayonets at times when there were indica- 
 tions that we might be called upon to meet or make a charge, and some, 
 by procuring anununitiou from members of other regiments, and the cart- 
 ridge-boxes of the dead, kept up the flre. Regiment after regiment, and 
 brigade after brigade, continued to arrive, densely covering the slope in 
 our front and rear, like thousands of bees swarmed from their hives, and 
 the contest was continued with the greatest fury on both sides. The 
 enemy's flre was deadly and terrific, and the roar of cannon and musketry 
 incessant through the day. At length, it was said that we should be 
 ordered to charge before dark, and that other regiments still would come 
 to our support; and an increasing, deepening, deafening roar of battle, 
 until the very ground appeared to shake, the dreadful flashings of the 
 guns and streams of flre, the clouds of smoke and the darkness of coming 
 night, seemed a prelude to a flnal and more desperate struggle. The 
 scene was terribly and awfully sublime, and calculated to fill the stoutest 
 hearts with dread; but our men were fully prepared, and exhibited no un- 
 manly fear. When the battle had raged until after dark, we were ordered 
 to return to the ground which we occupied in the morning, and withdrew 
 
 from persons firing from the rear, for there were such. He was fronting 
 the foe, and died as a true soldier. The adjutant was within a few feet 
 of him, aud saw him when he fell.

 to carry an order* communicated by Colonel (afterwards Gen.) 
 Griffin. Col. G., noticing that he was wounded, suggested to him 
 that the order could be carried by some one else, but he replied 
 that it was his business to carry it. The injury to the leg, which 
 Avas not thought serious enough to be entered by him in his 
 report, assumed a dangerous aspect, and he was sent home for 
 a short time by order of the brigade surgeon. It is somewhat 
 remarkable that although twice wounded in this, the first battle, 
 and sent home on surgeon's certificate, and the only one of the 
 field or staff who was hit, no account of his having been wounded 
 at all, was ever entered in the published regimental history or 
 roster. The attention of Adjt.-Gen. Head was early and repeat- 
 edly called to the omission, and he was profuse in his 25romises ; 
 but by a disgraceful inattention to his ofticial duties, or something 
 worse, the false record (false because of its omission) remains as it 
 was. If any soldier would think this too severe, the adjt.-gen- 
 eral's lettei's are given in the note,t and, after reading them, he 
 
 from the field. On a siugle acre, embracing the ground held by the New 
 Hampshire Eleventh, as measured by those who went over to bury the 
 dead, tliere were six hundred and twenty dead men.* The conduct of the 
 regiment on that day was the subject of universal commendation. The 
 address of the general in command, an extract from which follows, is 
 especially complimentary to the New Hampshire Eleventh, the only ' new 
 troops ' in his brigade : ' To the new troops who fought so nobly on the 
 13th, on their first battle-field, thanks are especially due ; they have every 
 way proved themselves worthy to stand side by side with the veterans of 
 the second brigade.' In this engagement the Eleventh had fourteen killed, 
 one hundred and fifty-six wounded, and twenty-four missing."

 He was wounded again at Spottsylvania, and this time probably 
 because of his solicitude to save the regiment from unnecessary 
 exposure. It was late in the battle of the 12th of May. The 
 regiment had been alternately fighting and at rest, but all the 
 time more or less exposed. At this particular time it wns upon 
 the top of a hill at the edge of the Avoods, close up to the rebel 
 line. The men, although flat upon the ground, were suffering 
 severely from the enemy's fire. The adjutant seeing this, rose 
 up and went to Captains Tilton and Cogswell, who were with 
 him on the hill, and rather nearer to him than Cai)tain Dudley, 
 who was then in command, told them they Avere losing men fast 
 and doing nothing, and he thought the regiment should either 
 charge upon the rebel line, or else be removed from the crest of 
 the hill. They said they understood General Grifiin's order was 
 to hold that ground ; to which he replied, the order was to hold the 
 ground they occupied when the order was given, which was a 
 little down the slope. They Avere not inclined to interfere, and 
 he lay down at their side. A moment later a ball struck between 
 the two captains (their elboAvs would almost touch). "By 
 George!" said Captain C, "this is pretty close!" Another mo- 
 ment, a loud voice, "Stop firing!" Avas heard at their left. The 
 adjutant raised up ujion his elboAV to see AA'hat mischief Avas 
 brcAving ; a heavy thud, " Oh, I am shot ! " he said, and passed 
 immediately a short distance to the rear, su})posing himself 
 to be mortally Avounded. He thought even then for the regi- 
 ment, and upon Captain Dudley's coming to him he strongly 
 urged him to at once withdraAV the regiment from the top of 
 the hill, which he did, and then detailed men to carry him 
 to the surgeon. The ball (a niinie) Avas buried in the wall of 
 the abdomen, but he could pick it out himself, and noAV pre-

 horrible corduroy road to Fredericksburg; from there, after 
 some days, to Washington, on his way to Ananpolis. From A., 
 when well enough, he went home on a short leave of absence. 
 He reported back to the hospital July 26, the next day obtained 
 permission (given with some reluctance, as he was not strong yet) 
 to rejoin his regiment, and arrived in camp on the morning of 
 July 31, the day after the battle of the "Mine." "I am glad you 
 were not here yesterday," said General Griffin, "for you could 
 have done no good, and would have been likely to have been 
 hurt." He would have been there if the boat had not left half 
 an hour earlier than usual, by which, much to his vexation at the 
 time, he failed of a passage. The regiment after that, though 
 often under the fire of batteries, and from skirmishers occasionally, 
 was in no pitched battle till his resignation. He did not resign 
 on account of any disability. After the siege of Knoxville, worn 
 out by fatigue and exposure and privation, he was four weeks 
 in hospital, and if this sketch should happen to meet Surgeon 
 Crosby's notice, he will know that his great kindness there was 
 appreciated. But he recovered, and his health at the time of his 
 resignation was unimpaired. The pay which he received was not 
 sufficient for his supj^ort with those dependent upon him. That 
 was not the moving cause of his resignation. Colonel Harriman, 
 June 5, 1863, resigned to avoid the unpleasantness of a court- 
 martial, upon charges preferred by Major Farr and others. He 
 was recommissioned Aug. 15, 1863, but did not join the regiment 
 till Feb. 24, 1864, and was captured (?) May 6, 1864; although ex- 
 changed Se])t. 12, 1864, he did not return to his regiment till 
 Nov. 20, 1864. Major Farr, soon after he made his charges, 
 doubtless with his own consent, was detailed to serve on court- 
 martials, and did not return to his regiment.* Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Collins was killed May 6. From that time the adjutant, in the 
 prime of life (he was forty-five), was performing duty sometimes 
 to one captain, sometimes to another, and sometimes to a strip- 
 ling lieutenant, and indeed the most of the time from June 5, 
 1^63, to Feb. 24, 1864, the regiment was under a captain. When 
 the adjutant came home from Annapolis Hospital, after lie was 
 wounded at Spottsylvania, he told the governor and council that 
 he wished to remain in the service, but that his position at his 
 time of life was unpleasant. He was assured by Governor Gil- 
 more that if Major Farr Avas promoted, he should be major ; other- 
 wise, that he should be lieutenant-colonel himself. He replied 
 that he would be satisfied with either, bade him good-bye, and 
 returned to his regiment. But instead. Captain Cogswell was 
 
 was turned, so that it did not strilie by tlie pointed end, but by its length, 
 and in consequence the resisting surface, instead of being a fourth of an 
 inch, was an inch, — otherwise it must have passed through. There is a 
 deep, brassy cut in the end of the ball, made by the button.

 commissioned lieiiteiiant-colonel, Aug. 20. This was by the inter- 
 ference of Col. H. Nothing should be said against Captain* Cogs- 
 well, for he was a very good officer, though not better than others 
 in the regiment. Col. H. had not been very magnanimous to any 
 of his olticers. When, after the battle of Fredericksburg, Gen- 
 eral Ferrero, his brigade commander, desired him to designate 
 officers whom he deemed worthy of special commendation, he re- 
 plied that he could not distinguish between them ; and conse- 
 quently none of them obtained any reconnnendation to the 
 superior commander. And it is a notable fact, that besides the 
 colonel himself, and two lieutenants who were at brigade or divis- 
 ion headquarters, not an officer of his regiment was brevetted 
 during the war. There was a score of them as much entitled, to 
 say the least, as himself, if "gallant conduct" were the test. But' 
 to return : there was no occasion for Adjutant Morrison to remain 
 as adjutant, for there was an excess of officers in proportion to 
 men. At his monthly report for August, 1864, there Avere present 
 for duty and extra duty 337 enlisted men, and twenty officers, or 
 one officer to sixteen men. In a full regiment, the proportion is 
 one in twenty-six. He had remained long enough f to show his 
 devotion to the cause. He resigned, and younger officers, glad 
 of the opportunity, by assignment, discharged the duties of a'dju- 
 tant, but no other person was ever mustered in as adjutant. 
 
 He for the third time entered upon the practice of the law, 
 not at Nashua, which, for six years preceding his entering the army, 
 had been his home, but at Manchester ; and by the usual courtesy 
 was called Judge Morrison, except by officers and soldiers of the 
 11th, who call him Adjutant, still. Within about seven years of 
 his return, he prepared and published, successively, a " Digest of 
 the N. H. Reports," a "Town Officer," a "Justice and Sheriff and 
 Attorney's Assistant," a " Probate Directory," and a " Digest of 
 the Laws relating to Common Schools." Since then he has been 
 engaged as other lawyers, as occasion requires. 
 
 His political opinions were definitely formed when he was a stu- 
 dent-at-law, and from careful reading and reflection. His views of 
 the nature of our complex government were such as to lead him to 
 act with the Democratic party unless, as was sometimes tlie case, the 
 public welfare would not, in his judgment, be thereby promoted ; 
 and in all such cases he did not hesitate to follow his own convic- 
 tions. To friends who on different occasions told him that his 
 independent action would destroy all hope of advancement, lie 
 replied that he felt bound to the same honesty in political matters 
 as in private life ; from that rule he never swerved. They were 
 correct. Political office he did not seek, and never held. He 
 was ousted from his judicial office without cause and against 
 
 * He was honorably discharged as captain May 26, 1865, never haviu"- 
 been mustered as lieut.-colonel, — tlie regiment being too small to admit 
 of it. 
 
 t His entire service in the field was as long as that of Col. H. (even 
 counting the time the latter was a prisoner), as long as that of most of 
 the captains, and longer than that of the lieut.-col. or major.

 right. And when in after years, in the kaleidoscope shifting of 
 courts, appointments were to be made, he was too much of a 
 Democrat to be appointed as a Republican, and too much of a 
 Republican to be appointed as a Democrat. But one who would 
 preserve his integrity and independence and self-respect, must be 
 content to pay their price. And is the price too great ? In 1 S38, 
 while teaching at Littleton, he signed a i^etition for the abolition 
 of slavery in the District of Columbia, and gave his name for 
 membership in a society for the abolition of slavery. But when 
 Parker Pillsbury, Thomas C, Beach, and others in convention at 
 that place, made known their views and purposes, he withdrew 
 his name as a member, and ever after regarded the' whole Garrison 
 school, who were seeking their end reckless of means and con- 
 sequences, as enemies of their country and of mankind. They 
 have since been canonized ! He voted for Van Buren in 1840, 
 for Polk in 1844, for Pierce in 1852, for Buchanan in 1856, for 
 Douglass in 1860 (in 1864 he was not a voter), for Seymour in 
 1868, for Greeley in 1872, for Tilden in 1876; and he hopes to 
 live to vote for Hancock in 1880, — not merely or principally for 
 his splendid military achievements, but for his clear appreciation 
 of the principles of our constitutional government, and devotion 
 to them. He did not vote for Cass in 1848, but because of his 
 Nicholson letter, spoke and voted against him, and for Van Buren 
 and Adams. He was outspoken in his condemnation of the 
 repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and wrote an earnest letter 
 to his cousin, G. W. Morrison, then in Congress, to stand firm in 
 his opposition to it. And while many leading Democrats were 
 hesitating, or hostile to the use of force for the preservation of 
 the Union, he was, from the firing of the first gun upon Sumter, 
 for the use of all the force necessary to compel submission to the 
 constitution. He did not vote for Hubbard for governor in 
 1843, because of his Curry letter denying the constitutionality of 
 the railroad law. He voted for White with Isaac Hill, and wrote 
 an article in Hill's paper vindicating the law. He did not 
 vote for Marcy in 1876, but because of the "Senate steal," 
 and its endorsement by tlie Democratic convention, stayed away 
 from the polls. He wrote against the reconstruction acts and 
 other measures confessed to be "outside of the constitution"; 
 and being called * to preside at the Democratic convention, Feb. 
 7, 1866, in his opening address, denounced Thad. Stevens as a 
 "hoary-headed traitor." He could not understand why Union 
 men, any more than Rebels, should be permitted to act in defiance 
 of their Charter. He had fought to uphold constitutional govern- 
 ment, not to create a despotism. On the other hand, while the 
 Democratic party was voting solid against the constitutional 
 amendments, he wrote an article in the Manchester Union in 
 favor of their adoption. Never a " politician," and rarely at-

 tending a caucus, he always took a deep interest in the great 
 questions of polity and government, writing frequent articles for 
 newspapers, and also on two important occasions at least (the 
 last, Jan, 17, 1877) the principal resolutions which were passed 
 by the Democratic State Convention.* 
 
 His temperance principles have been sufficiently indicated, and 
 his practice has conformed to them. Upon the great question of 
 every man's life, he was serious and sober-minded from his child- 
 hood, never profane, and always keeping the Sabbath, as would 
 be expected of most boys with such a parentage. The only time 
 his father talked with him alone, upon the subject of personal 
 religion, was when he told him he could not conceive Avhat his 
 feelings were when he saw him about to be crushed by the run- 
 ning log, and no satisfactory evidence of his being prepared to 
 die. But it was not until he Avas at Xewbury Seminary that he 
 was strongly moved. He was brought to death's door while there 
 by typhoid fever,t and when he recovered from it remembered 
 how poor a place a sick bed was, for thought or action upon such 
 a subject. For months he was distressed, thinking at one time 
 he found light, but relapsing into doubt and indifference, and 
 engaging more earnestly in his studies. He had been observed, 
 and the principal, Mr. Adams, came to his room. " Morrison, 
 you are busy wath your studies, as usual." " Yes." " Hoav is it 
 
 * The resolutions declared, among other things, that by the express 
 language of the constituuon the per.son having the greatest number of 
 votes for president (if such number be a majority of the whole number 
 of electors appointed) "shall be president," and that it is not within the 
 constitutional powers of the president of the senate or of either or of 
 both houses of congress to deprive him of his rights, and also "that the 
 supreme court of the United States, upon suits at law or equity regularly 
 brought, is the final judge in a disputed presidential election." These are 
 the views which he had advocated. Two days after he was interviewed 
 with others at Manchester by the corres()ondent of the Boston associated 
 press, as to his views of the electoral college bill, with the result tele- 
 graphed : "The first gentleman interviewed was Hon. Charles R. Mor- 
 rison, a leading lawyer of the State, who has given the subject much 
 thought, and is the author of a series of articles which have appeared in 
 the Daily Union on the complicated questions growing out of the presi- 
 dential contest. He is a Democrat of long standing, and is opposed to 
 the first section of the bill. ... He was also opposed to the feature 
 adding the supreme court." In addition to objections thus stated, 
 Judge Morrison telegraphed and wrote to Speaker Randall his fears, that 
 by the bill, as framed, there could be, or would be, no going behind the 
 returns to inquire into frauds and irregularities. But the State com- 
 mittee, on the other hand, telegraphed to the N. H. delegation to sustain 
 the bill. 
 
 t He was sinking after the fever left him. His father put him upon a 
 bed in a carriage, gave him some brandy or other spirit, and drove fast to 
 his home. Dr. French, the family physician, was waiting. He tried his 
 skill, but no use. He then reluctantly consented to the use of stimulants, 
 first wine, which had no effect, and Iheu West India rum, which did the 
 business. The patient used it until oue day he staggered a little from its 
 effect, when the wise doctor said, "Cut oft" the tap! I had rather he 
 should die now than die a dnuikard." They did cut off the tap, for which 
 the patient has often been grateful.

 as to your being a Christian ? " " I don't think I am." " I think 
 if you don't become one now, you never will." " I am inclined 
 to think so too." " Why not begin now ?" After a moment, "I 
 will." No more was said. His room-mates, who had heard the 
 conversation, at night asked him to pray Avith them, and he did 
 so. A few months after he united Avith the Congregational 
 church at Bath ; and since that time has always been a member 
 of some church of that denomination in the place of his residence. 
 Upon presenting himself for admission, he told the church that 
 he did not accept the Calvinistic doctrine of election and predes- 
 tination, but with that exception, if exception it was, his views were 
 in accord with their " Articles of Faith." And now, after f()rty 
 years, his doctrinal opinions, with a single exception, remain un- 
 changed, but from reading and his own experience deepened and 
 strengthened. The single exception is, as to the eternity of suffer- 
 ing in the individual. Forty yeai's ago, he said, the wicked after 
 death will keep on sinning, and therefore will always suffer. Now 
 he says the soul is not necessarily immortal, for God "only hath 
 immortality." The punishment of the Avicked will be everlasting, 
 in the sense there Avill be no recovery from it ; but probably 
 not in the sense of an eternal existence in conscious suffering. 
 " The soul that sinneth it shcdl dieP An infinite loss, and a dying 
 and a death., as real as the death of the body (not annihilation 
 necessarily) at such time as infinite Avisdom and justice shall

 He is still vigorous and engaged in his profession. His step is 
 elastic, and very fcAV in Avalking keep up with him ; and Avith an 
 out-door life, he might expect to reach his mother's years. He is 
 now, at sixty-tAVO, five feet nine inches and three quarters, Avith a

 shoAving his breadth of chest and length of arms, and Aveighs one

 257. Dea. George Morrison, of Bath, the fourth son, was, 
 when small, placed one summer in the family of Deacon Barrett, 
 of Franconia. He was a saintly man, of good, strong common- 
 sense, but with peculiarities of manner. He was lame and limp- 
 ing from a wound received in the service of his country ; illiter- 
 ate and ungrammatical from the want of early advantages ; and 
 he had the tone peculiar to the Freewill Baptists in some sections, 
 formerly. As George was a smart, handsome, sprightly boy, and 
 the worthy couple had no children and were in good circum- 
 stances, they desired to adopt him. But when he came home in 
 the fall, he had the limj), broken speech, tone, and awkwardness 
 of the good deacon to perfection ; and his sister Mary, laughing 
 and half crying, put down her foot, which, if small, was heavy, 
 that he should not go back ; and he never did, much to the grief 
 of the old couple. His father taught him his trade ; and with a 
 natural aptitude for it, made him a very good workman, and he 
 followed the business for some years. But a pulmonary tendency 
 was develoi)ed, and he left the shop, and, like his father, was for 
 about as many years, and in the same localities, a deputy sheriff. 
 With less of strength and physical power, he had all of his 
 father's courage, going unarmed, and making arrests of all grades 
 of criminals, from petty thieves to murderers, and never had a 
 prisoner escape from his custody. For the last few years he has 
 had the oversight of an excellent farm, carried on by his tenants, 
 and has been engaged in stock-raising, and business connected 
 with legal proceedings. He is at the present time judge of 
 the police court of his native town. His father willed him the 
 homestead, conditioned upon the support of his mother. With 
 the depreciation in property, and her misfortune, it proved inade- 
 quate, and his brothers, as they ought, contributed, and she was 
 tenderly cared for at his home till her death. Aug. 30, 1868, 
 he married Susan Ricker, daughter of the Ebenezer Ricker* men- 
 tioned in my father's sketch. Both of them have been for many 
 years most efficient members of the Congregational church at 
 Bath, of which he is also a deacon, and she a veritable helpmeet 
 in the same work. They are "given to hospitality," and their

 258. Capt. James Swan Morkisox, the fourth son, Avas born at 
 Bath Upper Village, Oct. 30, 1825. During his minority he at- 
 tended the common and select schools of the villages, and worked in 
 the shop with his father and brother. After he was twenty-one he 
 attended the Haverhill Academy several terms, and studied civil 
 engineering. His first work in his ])rofession was under J. S. 
 Gregg, in the survey of the White Mountains llailroad. In Oc- 
 tober, 1849, he went to Ohio, teaching at Franklin Furnace for 
 several months, and finding some employment in his profession 
 under a Mr. Williams, who hailed from Lancaster, N. H. Mr. 
 Gregg had a position on the North Carolina Railroad, and wrote 
 to his friend, inviting him to that State. This letter determined 
 his course of life, and made him a Southerner. He left Franklin Fur- 
 nace for Greensboro', N. C.,Oct. 16, 1850. From that time till May, 
 1860, about ten years, he was, Avith the exception of a few months, 
 employed in North Carolina as engineer on the N. C. R. R., the W. 
 N. C. "R. R., and the Greenville and French Broad R. R. He had 
 a few months of rest, and in 1859 was a short time engineer on the 
 Ashville and Spartanburg (S. C.) R. R. He had by this time be- 
 come identified with the South, although never owning slaves, and 
 he adopted with some qualifications the Calhoun docti'ine of State 
 rights. "I believed," he says, under date of Aug. 9, 1880, " that 
 a State had the right, under some circumstances, to secede, but 
 thought South Carolina hasty, and regretted her action at the 
 time." Such was also the tenor of his letters, so that his 
 brother, to whom they were addressed, was not surprised at his 
 entering the confederate service. Those who have not thought 
 at all upon the subject, or, if they have, upon one side only, may 
 think it strange that a Northern man, even after ten years of 
 Southern citizenship, could believe in the right of secession. His 
 brother, who had examined both sides, while assured in his own 
 convictions, has no doubt his younger brother was equally sincere. 
 And no one can fully understand and appreciate the heroic cour- 
 age of the great body of the South, who does not accord to them 
 what the truth requires, that they believed their cause was just. 
 
 Adjutant Morrison, upon entering East Tennessee, made 
 inquiries for his brother, and was told at one time that he 
 was a colonel, and had just been married under a flag of truce ; 
 and at another that he was a captain, and had just been hanged. 
 He took the first opportunity to go by railroad from Knoxville 
 to Morristown, the place of his brother's residence when last. 
 heard from, and in a letter to his wife of Nov. 1, 1863, gave 
 the result. When once in the cars, there were several who 
 could tell me all about him. Says one, "Had he sandy hair?" 
 " Not quite, approaching it, light hair " ; and another, " Was he 
 tall?" "Yes, six feet or over." "Did he come from North 
 Carolina to Morristown ? " " Yes." " Was he a single man ? " 
 "Yes." One of them said that Mr. Morrison could walk the 
 
SKETCHES. — FIFTH GENERATION. 377 
 
 fastest of any man he ever saw ; and so they went on. There 
 could be no doubt whatever of the identity ; all agreed that he 
 was in the rebel service. All said if I was half as likely a 
 man as he Avas, I must be a pretty clever fellow ; and such was 
 the uniform statement at Morristown, and I talked with the 
 leading men there on both sides. At M. I found a colored 
 man who had deserted a short time before, and learned from 
 him that James was then acting as first lieutenant in Capt. R. C. 
 McCalla's company of Sappers and Miners. This information was 
 correct. It was Co. A, 3d Regt. Eng. Troops, which was 
 generally under General Bragg. McCalla* was chief engineer of 
 the road which Lieutenant Morrison had been employed upon 
 for some time. Tlie latter entered the service in July, 1862. 
 After the siege of Knoxville was raised, a portion of Longstreet's 
 army was followed through Morristown. Adjt. M. went straight 
 to his brother's boarding-place, and found his brother left it that 
 morning. He wrote a letter for him, saying, " What did you 
 leave for just as I was coming V" In a few days the place was 
 again in the hands of the rebels, and in due time the answer, 
 " I left because I did not like the company you were in. ... If 
 you have any boots to spare, and they are not contraband of war, 
 leave them for me." The brothers did not meet during the war, 
 although for months near each other, and several times at the same 
 place only a few hours apart. Lieutenant Morrison, while in the 
 confederate service, was emploj'ed almost exclusively in building 
 and repairing bridges and railroads for the passage of troops. He 
 was at the battle of Chickamauga, and seemed in a fair way to get 
 into the thickest of the fight, but about fifteen minutes before Cley- 
 born's Division (from which his company was made up) went into 
 the charge, his company was ordered to Alexander's Bridge to 
 repair it. In a skirmish on another occasion, his company lost 
 three men.f He was in Bragg's army principally, but surrendered 
 with Joe Johnston at Greensboro', N. C. Since then he has 
 been employed in the survey and construction of railroads in 
 North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, East Tennessee, and 
 Kentucky. He is now division engineer on the Elizabeth- 
 town, Lexington, and Big Sandy Railroad. He has charge 
 of fifty miles of the line, with his present headquarters at 
 Morehead, Rowan County, Kentucky, and a more reliable 
 ofiicer is not to be found in the country. He visited his ]S[ew 
 Hampshire home in 1853, a short time before his father's death, 
 
 * McCalla eulisted in 1861 without his knowledge, leaving- him in charge 
 of the road. As soon as this was known to him, he claimed that it was his 
 place to go rather than his chief, as the latter had a wife and two or three 
 childreUjbnt McCalla wonld not hear a word of it. 
 
 t His company was at Lynchburg at the time of Lee's surrender. They 
 were told to " get out " as l)est they could, and four or rive went with him 
 to Greensboro', N. C, and on their way found a family of Morrisons, who 
 provided generously for their wants, and sent them on their way to join 
 Joe Johnson's army. "Not till Johnson's surrender," he says, "did I 
 give up that it was a hopeless case."

 which occurred July 17, 1853, and again in 1858. In 1871, with 
 health much impaired from severe sickness, he started, with his 
 wife, and little daughter Mary, who died on the passage. They 
 turned back to Greensboro' to bury her ; but after a few days' 
 rest, again turned their face northward, and received a very warm 
 welcome. From June till December, 1871, as his health improved, 
 he was employed by the B., C. & M. Kailroad in surveys at Woods- 
 ville and Littleton, Bethlehem and Franconia. He then returned 
 to his southern home. His wife was Eliza G. Gumming,* of Greens- 
 boro', K". C., an intelligent and accomplished southern lady, winning 
 many friends wherever she goes, north as well as south. They were 
 married at Greensboro', Oct. 18, 1865. They have had three chil- 
 dren : Willie C., Mary L., and Eleanor S., of whom the latter only 
 now survives. She was born in Kentucky, Oct. 18, 1873. His 
 physique f appears from the conversation in the cars on the route 
 to Morristown. He is of more than ordinary mental power 
 and intelligence, and of unswerving integrity; a true man in all 
 the relations of life, and an exemjilary member of the Presby- 
 terian church, with which he united in 1852. §§ 29, 91, 201. 
 
 259. "Tell Henry," wrote Franklin in his last letter, "to be a 
 good boy till I come home." I cannot describe him except that 
 he was as beautiful and interesting as any child can well be con- 
 ceived of. After Franklin's death (ISTov. 17, 1831), even more 
 than before, the love of father and mother, sister and brothers, 
 was lavished upon him. Mary took him in special charge. She 
 tauglit him his evening prayer, and to point his finger up to the 
 bright heavens, and told him of God who made them all. And 
 instructed by her, "Now I lay me down to sleep," "Twinkle, 
 twinkle, little star," were recited with inimitable grace. Every 
 motion was graceful; and she called him "the gentleman." His 
 brothers one day were permitted to take him with them to their 
 Avork, a mile away. He watched them awhile, and then said in a 
 piteous tone, "I die ; I die." The dear fellow meant that he was 
 sick, and we carried him home. That night I dreamed that he 
 Avas dead, and that, sent by my father, I was carrying the measure 
 to the lower village for his coffin; and so it proved to the letter. 
 No skill or love or prayers could save him. It was scarlet fever 
 that was on him, and what is somcAvhat remarkable, the only case 
 in tOAvn. He died Sept. 29, 1832, tAvo months and eight days 
 short of four years of age. Thus, the first-born and the youngest 
 son Avere taken from our stricken home Avithin less than a year.

 two or three years, she attended the academy at Thetford for 
 general instrnction, and in the family of Professor Dana at Dan- 
 ville for vocal and instrumental music. Since she left Danville

 father, about six feet, with prominent forehead, light blue eyes, 
 and of an engaging manner and address. He had, however, 
 perhaps from ill-health, little of the Scotch-Irish' grit, and failed 
 in everything but painting. He was at last a portrait and land- 
 scape painter, and some of his landscape sketches, particularly of 
 localities in Campton, his native town, and about Lake Memphre- 
 magog, are very fine. He died of consumption at Mass. Gen.

 of deeds and in the probate office, show three Alexanders among 
 the first settlers. James, John, a brother of James, and Randal, 
 Randle, or Randyll. James, who was a grantee in the charter, 
 died about 1731, his will being proved Feb. 17, 1731. His wife 
 
 (who survived him) was Mary , He left two children : Agnes, 
 
 b. at Lond, April 6, 1722, and Joseph, b. at Lond. June 30, 1727. 
 Joseph, son of James, Nov. 16, 1773, was living in Connecticut. 
 John died in 1763 (his will being proved June 28, 1763), leaving 
 sonSi Robert and James, a daughter Ann, and grandchildren, 
 shown by the will. Randal, who was also a grantee in the 
 
 charter, died after June 20, 1770. His wife was Janet . 
 
 The registry shows deeds from them to Eobert Alexander (a 
 son), May 19, 1759; to Samuel (a son), Oct. 26, 1765; and to 
 William (a son), June 20, 1770. The Londonderry records of 
 births, show children born to them as follows : Robert, Nov. 14, 
 1720 ; Mary, March 5, 1721-2 ; Isabel, Feb. 16, 1723 ; David, 
 April 9, 1728 ; and John, April 22, 1730. Of these, Isabel must 
 have been the wife of Samuel Morrison, and is mentioned in his 
 will, page 325. The statement on page 324, that she was his 
 cousin, is of doubtful authority. It is not improbable that Eliza- 
 beth Alexander, the wife of John Morrison (p. 322, § 168), was 
 also a daughter of Randal Alexander, born before 1720, but there 
 is as yet no proof of it. Robert Alexander, son of Randal, died 
 about 1765, and his widow Mary returned an inventory, Oct. 11, 
 1765. She is the same Mary Alexander, from whose Avill extracts 
 appear on page 323. Their children were, Jane, John, Hugh, 
 William, Jennet, and Mary. Jennet married Robert Morrison. 
 John wrote the letter referred to on page 333, which proves to 
 have been written from Belfast, Me., instead of Ireland. Wil- 
 liam's estate was divided, Dec. 20, 1816, to his sons Robert, John, 
 George, James, and William, and his daughter Sally Cheeney, 
 wife of Thomas Cheeney. Of these, John is the one referred to 
 on page 333, note, as now living, at the age of eighty.

 MORISONS OF NOTTINGHAM, N. H. 
 
 This branch of tlie family is descended from three brothers, 
 William, David, and Hugh Morison, natives of Scotland, where 
 they were born a few years prior to the Revolution of 1688, 
 which placed William and Mary on the throne of her father, 
 James II. ^ The family to which they belonged were rigid Presby- 
 terians, ardently espousing the cause of the Prince of Orange, 
 and they rallied to the aid of their Protestant brethren who had 
 previously formed a settlement in Ireland, and to strengthen the 
 defences of the city of Londonderry. They endured the horrors 
 of the siege ; and they, with others, knew what it was to suffer 
 for their j^olitical and religious faith. According to tradition, 
 one of the uncles of these emigrants to America nearly reached 
 the point of starvation during the siege of Londonderry. The 
 Protestants had been driven beneath the walls of the city, and 
 thereby exposed to the missiles of war of both armies, as well as to 
 the horrors of starvation. This Morison " watched all day, 
 hoping to catch a mouse to appease his hunger, but it escaped 
 into the walls, when he burst into a flood of tears." 
 
 In Ireland, William Morison was married to Mary Henry, a 
 native of Scotland ; and their son James, the only one living to 
 manhood, was born May 7, 1725. 
 
 At this time the tide of emigration was setting towards New 
 England; and receiving favorable reports from their relatives* 
 who a few years before had settled in Londonderry, N. II. ,t 
 a new impulse was given to emigration. The following year a 
 company was formed, a vessel chartered, and the Morisons, with 
 their families, and others, emigrated to Boston, Mass., sailing 
 
 * It is not certain that Hiif^h Morison came witli his brothers iu 172G, 
 hnt \t la probable ; and it is certain he was living in Loudouclerry about 
 1730.

 from Port Rusli, in the north of Ireland, on the 7th of August, 
 and arriving on the 8th of October, 172G, when William and 
 David Morison purchased a share in the new townshiji of Not- 
 tingham, N. H., for which a charter had Leen granted, and which 
 was then being surveyed, prei)aratory to settlement. Nottingham 
 was then without a human habitation, and contained within its 
 limits the present towns of Nottingham, Deerfield, and North- 
 wood, N. H. 
 
 The survey of the " First Division " lots having been com- 
 pleted, they were distributed by lot among the proprietors, in 
 April, 1727, when both brothers entered the forest with the iirst 
 settlers, clearing and putting under cultivation three acres of their 
 ten-acre lot, No. 39 First Street ; building a dwelling-house on the 
 same, in accordance with the requir^nents of the charter, into 
 which, in the autumn of 1728, they removed their families from 
 Boston, where they had been for two years. Here in their new 
 home they possessed the courage to encounter the hardships of 
 pioneer life, to which for many years were added the perils of 
 Indian warfare. The dwellings of two of their near neighbors, 
 Simpson's and Beard's, were attacked at midday, and the inmates 
 tomahawked and slain. 
 
 Both brothers are mentioned in the town records, as among the 
 earliest municipal officers. The first town-meeting in Nottingham, 
 in which all citizens of lawful age were allowed to ^ vote, was 
 March 26, 1733. At that meeting, David Morison was chosen 
 constable, and William Morison, tythingman ; the one, to maintain 
 good order in the community ; the other, to see that decorum was 
 observed in church, and the Sabbath not desecrated. They were 
 men of firmness and discretion, and well suited for the offices to 
 which they had been elected. William Morison served on the 
 board of selectmen at the age of seventy, was auditor of accounts 
 the year following, and during the last three years of his life he 
 was appointed on three several committees to procure a minister 
 for permanent settlement. He not only contributed to support 
 at home a clergyman of his own faith, but had to ])nj an annual 
 tax to the established church. Queen's Chapel, at Portsmouth, as 
 the following verbatim copy of the original receipt now in the 
 hands of Hon. Robert Morrison, of Northwood, N. H., will show.

 In 1757, William Morison, being in his seventy-fourth year, 
 retired from active duties, and with his aged partner, who had 
 shared with him the labors, as well as the happiness, of a well- 
 spent life, wliich then appeared to be drawing to a close, took 
 up his residence with his son James on the corner of the square, 
 
WILLIAM MORISON, OF NOTTINGHAM, N. H. 391 
 
 where both died the following year, 1758, and were the first 
 persons interred in what is now Judge Butler's Cemetery. 
 
 David Morison died about this time. He left two daughters : 
 Mary, wife of William Ray ; two children, David and William ; 
 and Sarah, wife of Thomas Simpson. 
 
 Sarah Morison, daughter of David, was married Feb. 4, 1748, 
 to Thomas Simpson, son of Andrew Simpson, whose house and 
 ten-acre lot were directly opposite to Morison's on the same 
 street. He was born in Scotland about 1720, came to Boston in 
 the same ship with the Morisons in 1726; and while remaining 
 there, attended the public schools, which laid the foundation for 
 the knowledge he acquired in after life. He became a useful 
 and prominent citizen in Nottingham and Deerfield, as land-sur- 
 veyor, conveyancer, justice of the peace, etc. Maj. John Simp- 
 son, who died in Deerfield, Oct. 28, 1825, was the eldest child of 
 this Thomas Simpson and Sarah Morison. He distinguished 
 himself in the battle of Bunker Hill, was in Whipple's brigade as 
 first lieutenant in 1778, and was subsequently promoted to major 
 for meritorious services.

 51. Rev. John Morfison, of Peterborough, IST. H., was born in 
 Pathfoot, ScotLand, May 22, 1743 ; was graduated at the Univer- 
 sity of Edinburgli in 1765. He was ordained at Peterborough, 
 Nov. 26, 1766, and was the first settled minister of the town. 
 His abilities were good, but by disreputable practices he lost the 
 respect of the people ; he relinquished his connection with the 
 society in 1772. "He died suddenly (as is supposed) at Charles- 
 ton, S. C, while a commissary in the British service, May 26 or 
 27, 1782," He married Sarah, daughter of John Ferguson, of 
 Peterborough; she died Nov. 28, 1824, aged 84 years.

 MORISONS OF SANBORNTON, N. H. 
 
 Their record, as traced out genealogically by the Rev. M. T. 
 Kimnels, and embodied in his liistory of that town, occupies a 
 larger sj^ace than that of any other family except that of the 
 Sanborn family. For more than one hundred years it has been 
 one of the most prominent and respectable of the families of the 
 original town of Sanbornton, including the present towns of 
 Sanbornton, Tilton, and East Franklin. 
 
 The ancestor of this branch of the family is supposed to be 
 David Morison, who, according to one theory, is traditionally said 
 to have first come " to some part of the British colonies farther 
 south than Mass., but his time of landing is unknown." It is the 
 conclusion of the town historian of Sanbornton, wdio has given 
 the matter much attention, that notwithstanding the above tradi- 
 tion, this David was of the old Londonderry, N. H., stock, and 
 may have been the brother or ne))hew of Joh^i Morison (who is 
 erroneously called Samuel'mthe History of Peterborough, N. H.), 
 who died in Londonderry, N. H., at the rc])uted age of 108 years, 
 and whose five sons settled in Londonderry. Another theory, 
 suggested by Hon. Charles-E. Morrison, of Manchester, N. H., 
 makes the Sanbornton family, not of Scotch-Irish, but of older 
 Scotch-English descent,* and supposes that John Morison of the 
 second generation, according to the first theory the son of David 
 (?), to be really the son of Daniel Morrison, f of Newbury, Mass., 
 
 * The author adopts the Scotch-English theory, and thinks there is uo 
 connection between the Morisons of Londonderry and those of Sanborn- 
 ton, only as all Morisons belong to the same Scotch clan.

 this : — 
 
 79, David (?), or Daniel (?), first generation. His son, 
 
 80. John-, was the known father of eleven children. He also 
 appears to have been born in Haverhill, Mass. ; and this place is 
 the only possible point in which to unite the Londonderry and 
 Sanbornton branches on this side of the ocean. Four of his sons 
 are genealogically represented in Sanbornton.

 MORRISONS OF VIRGINIA. 
 
 John Morkison emigrated from Coiinaught, uortli of Ireland, 
 to America, about 1795. His father is believed to have been 
 a manufacturer, and he at one time owned houses in London, 
 England. 
 
 John Morrison was educated for a physician, but for some cause 
 his medical education was not completed. He first located in 
 Petersbui'g, Va., and afterwards in Lunenburg Co., Va., engaging 
 in mercantile business. As phj-sicians were much needed, he 
 entered upon the practice of medicine. He was an accomplished 
 man, and ranked high in his profession. He was brought up a 
 Presbyterian. He married Miss Bagley, in Lunenburg County, 
 about 1798, where he res. till his death in 1823. His brother 
 Samuel located near Snow Hill, on the eastern sliore of Maryland, 
 where he married, but left no cliildren. John Morrison Avas born 
 about 1760.

 Episcopal church. " While his unaffected humility would not per- 
 mit him to call upon others to follow him as he followed Christ, 
 yet all who knew him might ])oint to his Cliristian example as one 
 worthy of imitation. . . . From a condition of great comfort

 ner that the most keen-sighted, to detect any swerving from the 
 strictest rectitude, could find none in him ; ... he bore the touch-

 Va., in 1834, taking the "first honor of his class. On leaving col- 
 lege, he began the study of law, but he soon felt constrained to

402 PENNSYLVANIA MORISONS. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 MoRisoNS OF Pennsylvania. — Gabriel Morison, the Emigrant, and 
 HIS Descendants. — Descendants of John Morison. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. — GABRIEL MORISON. 
 
 Gabriel Morison, the emigrant ancestor of the family, came 
 from the north of Ireland about 1740, leaving his brother, John 
 Morison, a merchant, in Ireland. It is believed that he did not 
 marry till after his settlement in Pennsylvania. He married 
 Martha Glen (?) or Wilson (?), of Chester Co., Pa., prior to Jan. 
 2, 1743 (according to an old bond in existence).* 
 
 By tradition, his home was in Londonderry, Ireland, and at the 
 death of his father, as his oldest brother inherited nearly all the 
 property by the law of primogeniture, he emigrated to America, 
 and landed in Philadelphia. Another tradition is that Gabriel 
 and his three brothers emigrated together. He first settled in 
 Londonderry, Chester Co., Pa. Later (1752 and 1754), he pur- 
 chased a large tract of land in Coleraine, Lancaster County, and 
 located near the Octorara, a beautiful stream which divides 
 Chester and Lancaster Counties. Together these purchases 
 amounted to over three hundred acres. Some of his descendants 
 still (1880) own and res. upon part of this tract of land. 
 
 Gabriel was well educated, and there are many indications of 
 his being from a family of wealth and refinement ; a strict Presby- 
 terian, and an elder in the Middle Octorara Church for many years, 
 and was buried in that graveyard. He was of great firmness of 
 character, of good judgment, and had much influence in the 
 neighborhood ; was very industrious, and accomplished a great 
 deal in his day. He dug a trench around his three hundred acres 
 of land for protection against cattle, as was the custom in those 
 days. This was an immense work, and part of this old ditch can 
 be seen at tlie present time. He was regarded as a rich man, as 
 was also liis son and successor, Alexander Morison ; and if the

 Gilbert Buchanan and Martha Morison for James McClelland. It was 
 given by Joseph and John Glen, witnessed by Walter Buchanan, Andrew 
 Walker, and Robert Ross, and executed in Chester Co., Province of 
 Pennsylvania, and receipted on the back by Gabriel Morison.

 possession of much land and fine teams are evidences of wealth, 
 then they were justly entitled to the reputation. 
 
 He and his wife, " a remarkably fine woman," used to ride on 
 horseback six miles and more to church, and carry their children 
 Avith them. This custom was followed by his descendants for 
 three generations. The solid silver knee and shoe buckles that 
 he wore at the time of his emigration and afterwards, remained 
 at the old homestead till a few years ago, when they were taken 
 to Wilmington, Del., and made into spoons. Thus the relics of 
 the past changed their form, and were made to serve the 
 present.*

 * Dr. J.-B. Morrison, of Maryville, Mo., writes, April 19, 1880: "There 
 mxitit be in existence a number of letters that Gabriel received from his 
 friends in Ireland, though I have been unable to find them. Some of the 
 counections speak pretty positively in support of the tradition that four 
 Ijrothers came from Ireland together, and the name of Alexander is men- 
 tioned as one of them. Robert (?) and James (?) are also mentioned 
 with some doubt. I am inclined to the belief that Alexander Morison, 
 who lived in New London, Chester Co., Pa., and whose will is recorded 
 in West Chester Will Book D, Vol. IV, p. 609, was a brother to Gabriel. 
 Alexander is a common name in our branch of the family. An acquaint- 
 ance used to say that he ' could not go out in a dark night without run- 
 ning against an Alexander Morison.'" 
 
 t The McClellans were related to President Buchanan.

 15. Alexander^ [4] (GabrieP) ; born 1749; died March 8, 
 1826, aged 77 years. He possessed nearly the same qualities of 
 mind and heart which belonged to his father ; he made money by 
 farming, and by teaming with his fine team. He did some team- 
 ing for the government during the Revolutionary war. This 
 money was not squandered. He built a grist-mill on his place, 
 which is still standing and doing work, and has always been 
 known as " Morrison's Mill." He was an elder for many years in 
 the Middle Octorara Church. He married, about 1770, Prudence 
 Gamble, of Dauphine Co., Pa., who was born 1751, and died Aug. 
 16, 1821. He died March 8, 1826, aged 77 years. They were 
 buried in the graveyard at Octorara Church.

 to his home in Coleraine, Lancaster Co., Pa. ; and at his death 
 made him heir to most of his property and the executor of his 
 will. But for this he would have studied for a profession. Nature 
 intended him for a lawyer, and he regretted deeply that he had 
 not chosen a profession when young. He was a farmer, and dur- 
 ing most of his life kept a fine team of four or six horses, with 
 which he did a great amount of teaming. He was a strong man, 
 ])hysically, mentally, morally, and religiously. 
 
FOURTH GENERATION. — ALEXANDER-WILSON MORRISON. 407 
 
 There are marvellous anecdotes told of his physical strength. 
 He and his relative, Samuel Morrison, were the only men in their 
 vicinity who could place three barrels of flour in a perpendicular 
 position, the second barrel on top of the first, and the third on 
 top of the second. He excelled all others in throwing 56-lb. 
 weights, and on one occasion caused deep chagrin to the "cham- 
 pion thrower " by hurling the 56-lb. weight some four feet farther 
 than he. He stood six feet two inches in height, and weighed 
 nearly two hundred pounds; was muscular, and had no super- 
 fluous flesh. 
 
 He was a man of influence, and for several years was an elder 
 in the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church, and subsequently in 
 the Union Presbyterian Churcli. His character was spotless, and 
 he was generous to a fault. His liberality was a hinderance 
 to his accumulation of property. He was too ready to go as 
 security for the man who would ask him, and would lose a debt 
 rather than sue for it. 
 
 He was an excellent reasoner, and well informed in theology 
 and law. His reasoning was always tempered with justice, and 
 so he was often called upon to arbitrate upon differences between 
 parties in his neighborhood. An opinion was never adopted by 
 him because it was promulgated by a great man, but was put to 
 the test of reason. Being firm in his opinions, he was still open 
 to conviction when weightier reasons were presented. 
 
 In politics he was a whig; and when that party died, he became 
 a republican. A relative remembers seeing him in tears over the 
 defeat of Henry Clay for the Presidency in 1844. He was an 
 antislavery man, but not an abolitionist. While considering 
 slaveiy an evil, and knowing that it existed by virtue of State 
 laws, he held that we as a nation had no right to interfere with 
 it, except to create a public sentiment in favor of its abolition. 
 He believed that the time would come when it woiild be wiped 
 out of existence, and he lived to see the day. 
 
 Like his friend Thaddeus Stevens, he was the friend of the poor 
 and the oppressed. In his daily life he carried out the princi])les 
 inculcated in the 13th chapter of 1st Corinthians. He died the 
 death of the Christian, Sunday morning, Sept. 8, 1872, and -was 
 buried at the cemetery at Union Presbyterian Church, Coleraine, 
 Lancaster Co., Pa. 
 
 He married Margaret McCalmmont* (now spelled McCommon), 
 Nov. 27, 1823 ; born Nov. 7, 1801, and who is still living. She 
 is the daughter of James t and Elizabeth $ (Patterson) McCalm- 
 mont, of Coleraine, Lancaster Co., Pa. 
 
 * Of the "cahn mountain." 
 
 t James was son of Samuel McCalmmant, who came from the north of 
 Irehmd. .Tames was born Nov. 20, 1703; died June 23, 1853, in his i)Oth 
 year, and was much respected. His father, Sanuiel .McCahnmaut, m. 
 Mollie Larimer, dauifhter of James Larimer, of Drumore, Lancaster Co.,

 X Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Peggy (.McElhenney) Pat- 
 terson. She died Oct. G, 1849, aged 78 yrs.

 Branch, Higlitstown, Pennington, Allentown, and Crosswicks. 
 While on the last-named circuit, in 1846, his vocal powers failed, 
 and, taking a superannuated relation, he removed to Hightstown 
 in 1847. As a minister, the active life of Mr. Morrison was a 
 remarkably successful one. From personal observation on some 
 of his former fields, especially that known as the Swedesboro' 
 circuit, which comprised a large ten-itory and ten churches, we 
 know that he was a very useful pastor, and has left behind him 
 very abundant results. Several prominent ministers date their 
 conversion from his preaching. His largest salary was $425 per 
 annum. After his removal to Hightstown, he entered into busi- 
 ness, and was at one time president of the Central Bank, but in 
 his later years he relinquished all business matters except the care 
 and im]H-ovement of his property. He had quite a great deal 
 to do with the laying out of a portion of our borough, and one 
 of the principal streets bears his name. While at Ocean GroA^e, 
 in the summer of 1872, he was stricken with paralysis, since 
 which time he has been entirely helpless and almost totally 
 speechless, but retained the full possession of his mental powers 
 and suffered comparatively little pain. A dominant will and a 
 remarkable mental vigor seemed to hold death at bay, until last 
 Wednesday, when he commenced to sink rapidly, and died on 
 Saturday morning. It is during the last year of his life that we 
 believe he has been able to accomplish more than ever before to 
 make his memory cherished. As an example of the exercise of 
 Christian virtues under the severest trials, his later life was re- 
 markable. About a year ago he lost almost all powers of motion, 
 and since that time has only been able to s])eak a Avord at long- 
 intervals, but in the midst of his seeming helplessness, he has 
 been remarkably upheld by the Master in whom he trusted. His 
 faith never wavered, his courage never gave Avay, and by feeble 
 signs and with palsied utterance he Avas ahvays expressing his 
 hopes and expectations. Unable to preach himself, his house has 
 for years been the itinerant's home, and his heart has been in the 
 work. We pen these lines aAvay from home, Avhen a brief dis- 
 patch is all the tidings we have of his death. We knoAV nothing 
 of the details of his latest moments, but have no doubt that the 
 good old man passed aAA^ay, — 
 
 'Sustained and soothed by an unfaltei-ing trust, 
 Like one who wraps the drapery of liis couch 
 About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.' "

 173. Joseph-Barr^ [67] (Alexander-W.^ GabrieF, Alexander-, 
 GabrieP). Lieut-Col. Joseph-Barr Morrison is a physician and 
 surg-eon. He was born in Coleraine, Lancaster Co., Pa., Jan. 
 18, 1835, on the old homestead; was educated at piiblic and 
 private schools, and at academies ; at Unionville Academy, Ches- 
 ter Co., Pa., in 1851-2; Newark Academy, Del., 1854-5; and 
 Coatesville Academy, Chester Co., 1855-6, and assisted in teaching 
 at the same time. He had great fondness for Latin and Greek, 
 especially Greek, and a strong love for science and meta- 
 l^hysics, and occasionally lectures on such subjects. He began 
 the study of medecine with James-P. Andrews, of Oak Hill, 
 Lancaster Co., Pa., in April, 1858; attended lectures at the 
 Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, two winters, and grad- 
 uated March 9, 1861. He practised his profession in Martic, 
 Lancaster Co., Pa., during the first year after his graduation. He 
 entered the army in June, 1862, as acting asst. surgeon U. S. A., 
 and was stationed at Columbian College Hospital, on Meridian 
 Hill, Washington, D. C, where he remained until August, 1863. 
 In January, 1863, he went before the examining board in Wash- 
 ington, D. C, to be examined for the position of asst. surgeon of 
 United States Volunteers. He was commissioned as such by 
 President Lincoln, Feb. 19, 1863, and in June, 1863, he was pro- 
 moted to full surgeon. In August, he was ordered to the 
 department of the South, where General Gilmore was bombarding 
 Forts Sumter and Moultrie. He took passage from New York, 
 Sept. 1, 1863, in the "proud Arago" for Hilton Head, S. C, 
 where he arrived Sept. 4. He was assigned to duty by the 
 medical director of the de]>artmeiit, as surgeon-in-chief of General 
 Vogdes' Division on Folly Island, The troops were ordered to 
 Florida in February, 1864, where they did some fighting. In 
 April they were ordered to Virginia to assist Grant in the 
 campaign against Lee. The trooj>s coming from the department 
 of the South were organized into the 10th Corps, and they wei*e 
 equipped, etc., at Gloucester Point, opposite Yorktown. The 18th 
 Corps WHS reorganized at Yorktown ; General Gilmore com- 
 mauded the 10th, and General William F. Smith ("Baldy") 
 commanded the 18th Corps. The two corps were under Gen. 
 Benj.-F. Butler, and were called the "Army of the James." 
 
 He Avas surgeon-in-chief of Ames's Division of the 10th Corps, 
 during the early summer campaign, and was at Cold Harbor and

 at Petersburg with the 18th Corps. He was at the battle of Fort 
 Harrison, Sept. 29, 1864, and again in front of Petersburg at the 
 time of its capture, April 2, 1865, during which time he was 
 medical director of the 24th (Gibbon's) Corps. He was at 
 Appomattox C. H., April 9, 1865, and was medical director of 
 the 24th Corps from Feb. 10, 1865, to the last of July, when the 
 corps was disbanded and most of the troops mustered out. He 
 was then sent to Lynchburg, Va., as surgeon-in-chief of the 
 district of Southwest Virginia, where he remained until Feb. 2, 
 1866, when he was honorably discharged and brevetted lieut.-col. 
 The duty of receiving the hospital stores of Lee's army, of dis- 
 posing of his sick and wounded, and of carrying out the details 
 of the surrender, so far as they pertained to the medical depart- 
 ment, fell upon him after the second or third day, because the 
 24th Corps was left until the 14th of April to carry out the 
 details of surrender. His "Report" of the campaign to the 
 surgeon-general is ]>ublished in the Medical and Surgical History 
 of the War (Med. Vol. p. 222, Appendix). 
 
 He joined the "Military Order of the Loyal Legion" of the 
 United States, a society formed at the close of the war, similar 
 to the old " Society of the Cincinnati," which was formed after 
 the "War of the Revolution" — "Commandery of the State of 
 New York," Nov. 14, 1866, and was chancellor of said comman- 
 dery during the years 1870-71. He joined the order of Free and 
 Accepted Masons in September, 1867, in New York, and he is now 
 a member of Nodaway Lodge, of Maryville, Mo. He is a member 
 of the chapter in Savannah, Andrew Co., Mo., and of the com- 
 mandery in St. Joseph, jVIo. He was brought up a Presbyterian, 
 and joined the church at Newark, Del., in November, 1854. He 
 has always been an earnest supporter and defender of the Christian 
 religion against all opposition, whether it was scientific, so-called, 
 or metaphysical, or of some other form. He is a lover of science, 
 so far as science is reliable, but takes no interest or share in the 
 unsupported assertions of men who can see nothing but a mass of 
 matter that has had no beginning, that cannot be either increased 
 or diminished, and that is indestructible. He holds to the doc- 
 trine of the existence of spirit as well as matter, and to the doc- 
 trine of "revelation"; and claims that true science, instead of 
 being in opposition to religion, supports and defends it. In 
 politics, he is, and always has been, a republican, and he cast his 
 first vote for Fremont in 1856. He was always an antislavery 
 man, though not an abolitionist; believed that the North had 
 no right to interfere with slavery in the Soutliern States, as it 
 existed there by virtue of State laws, but he Avas op]iosed to the 
 institution on princi])le. He was a Thaddeus Stevens man. 
 
 He resided in New York City from 1866 until 1871, and 
 located in Maryville, Mo., in 1873, where he now resides, and 
 has a large practice. He married, July 25, 1876, Mary-Bell 
 Paukey, of Maryville, Mo., formerly of Fayette, Howard Co., 
 Mo., and soon after thev visited his earlv home in Peiinsvlv;niia.

 Howard College, Fayette, Mo. Col. Thonias-A. Paukey was 
 born near Prince Edward's Court House, Va., and afterwards

 many slaves. He came to Howard Co., Mo., in 1856 or 1857;

418 DESCEND ANTS OF JOHN MORISON, OF PENNSYLVANIA. 
 " THE MORRISONS, 
 
 So far as I am acquainted Avitli them, have always been noted 
 for their liberality, generosity, and general kindness of heart, 
 as well as for their common-sense, good judgment, and practi- 
 cability. They have borne the reputation of being people who 
 act from pure motives as far as it is possible for erring mortals 
 so to act. There may be exceptions, and it would be singular 
 if there were not, 
 
 "The Scotch-Irish are peculiarly fond of wit, humor, and fun 
 in general, but especially of out-door sports and games; and I 
 was delighted Avhen I read, a few years since, in 'Greeley's Rec- 
 ollections of a Busy Life,' the account, on page 27, of the peculi- 
 arities of the settlers in New Hampshire; for it vividly recalled 
 the scenes of my childhood. Our settlement along the 'beautiful 
 Octorara' was an exact duplicate of the New Plampshire settle- 
 ment written of by Mr. Greeley. 
 
 " The house-raisings, corn-huskings, apple-butter boilings, stone- 
 pickings, etc., together with the games attending them, such as 
 leap-frog, hide-and-seek, throwing fifty-six pound weights, etc., 
 and, I had almost forgotten to mention the family worsliip, often 
 including a long hymn or psalm, with a slow tune. But however 
 tedious or useless it may have seemed at the time, I am now 
 persuaded that these very habits of family Avorship have done 
 more, and do more, to bind our hearts, our affections, to our 
 parents, brothers, and sistei's, to our religion and our God, than 
 all the other and pleasing scenes of our childhood. The Scotch- 
 Irish should never give up this excellent custom."

 their wounded comrade and fled. He located in Bucks Co., Pa., 
 after the Kevolutionary war was over. He and all his family, 
 several of them then married, located on lands on the west branch

420 DELAWARE MORRISONS. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX 
 
 DELAWARE BRANCH OF THE MORRISON FAMILY. 
 
 BY KEV. GEOKGE MOKRISON, D. D., OF SWEET AIKE, MD. 
 
 The subjoined memoranda of the Delaware branch of the 
 Morrison family is prepared at the request of Leonard A. 
 Morrison, Esq., of Windham, N. H., the compiler of a History 
 of the Morrison Family. Capt. F. W. L. Thomas, of the 
 Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, in a pamphlet entitled " Tra- 
 ditions of the Morrisons, Hereditary Judges of Lewis," brings 
 the history of the Morrisons down to 1613. The biographer, 
 Leonard A, Morrison, Esq., from that period brings the history 
 and genealogy of the descendants down to 1880. 
 
 I take it that the persecutions in Ireland and Scotland in the 
 latter part of the seventeenth century dro^'e the DelaAvare branch 
 of the family to America. From 1600 to 1700, upon the author- 
 ity of W. K. Hayward, Commissioner of Land Office of Maryland, 
 as learned from the list preserved in the State's paper department 
 of London, there were but two persons who emigrated to Vii'ginia 
 and Maryland ; these were Richard Morrison, captain of Castle 
 of Point Comfort, and Robert Morrison, the latter in 1635. 
 
 The progenitor of the Delaware branch was Hans, or John, 
 Morrison. I assume that Hans, or John, Morrison, either in the 
 old country or in this, through his mother, Avas connected with 
 the early Dutch colonists ; as in the troubles between the Swe- 
 dish settlers of Delaware and the Hollanders during the period 
 from 1640 to 1655, his citizenship was not disturbed. In 1670, 
 six years after the Duke of York claimed the settlements in Del- 
 aware as his, Hans, or John, Morrison entered a tract of land on 
 Whiteclay Creek, within New Castle County, which said tract of 
 land is now held in 1880 by a lineal descendant of the said John 
 Morrison of the seventh generation. The patent record in the 
 land office at Harrisburg, Pa., sets forth the date of this entry. 
 The writer knows naught of the children of John Morrison, save 
 of Hugh Morrison his son, and of Keal Morrison his grandson, 
 the ancestors of the line of the family traced in this paper. 
 During the Revolutionary war the family homes were in the line 
 of march of the British army, when their goods and much of the 
 family records Avcre destroyed. JV^eal 3Iorrison^ the father of 
 Robert, was one of the purchasers of the site, and one of the

 building committee of the Whiteclay Creek church, in 1752. 
 From that j^eriod his descendants held his pew until the erection of 
 the new church in 1853. From 1880, back to the earliest organi- 
 zation of the Whiteclay Creek church, and of its predecessors 
 through seven generations, the family has been identified with 
 the eldership and membership of the Presbyterian church of that 
 locality. It is reported that Xeal Morrison's mother was the 
 aunt of the Eev. Daniel Xeal, a dissenting minister of London, 
 the author of the " History of the Puritans and of Xew 
 England." 
 
 Our progenitor, the son of Neal Morrison, was Robert^ who 
 was born in the year 1723. In 1747, at twenty-five years of age, 
 in New Castle, to which point he hauled wood for sale from his 
 father's farm in an ox-cart, he met with Annie Douglass, about to 
 return to her native Scotland, and made matrimonial propositions 
 to her, which Avere accepted. They were immediately married, 
 and the bride and groom returned to "Whiteclay Creek farm in 
 all the pomp and grandeur which a "coach" in the shape of a 
 " cart drawn by oxen " would allow, and soon afterwards Robert 
 removed to New Castle, where he became a merchant. 
 
 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 KoBERT Morrison was born at Whiteclay Creek farm, in New 
 Castle Co., Delaware, 1723. He was a merchant in New Castle, 
 and a farmer, and an elder in the Whiteclay Presbyterian church ; 
 married, in 1747, to Annie Douglass, of Scotland. Children : — 
 
 1. Isaac, b. 1748, who lived to 1791, age 43 yrs. 
 
 2. David, b. 1753, who lived to 1829, age 74 yrs. He served iu the war 
 
 of 1776. 
 
 3. Martha, b. 1756, who lived to 1823, age 67 yrs. 
 
 4. Susannah, b. 1759, who lived to 1799, age 40 yrs. 
 
 5. Robert, b. 1760. 
 
 6. Douglass, b. 1765, who lived to 1849, age 84 yrs. ; a farmer, and Pres- 
 
 byterian elder. 
 
 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 Douglass Morrison was born at New Castle, Del., in 1765, 
 the youngest child of Robert and Annie (Douglass) Morrison. 
 When an infant, at the death of his grandfather Neal Morrison, 
 he and his father (Robert) removed to the Whiteclay Creek farm. 
 Douglass Morrison married, in 1796, Elizabeth Wilson. He 
 died in 1849, aged 84. His wife Elizabeth was born in 1777, and 
 died 1831, aged 54 years. Children : — 
 
 1. George Morrison, b. .Jan. 15, 1797; lived until 1837, age 40 vrs.

422 DELAWARE MOIJRISOXS. 
 
 SIXTH GENERATION. 
 
 George Mokuison was born at Whiteclay Creek farm, in 
 New Castle Co., Del., Jan. 15, 1797, the oldest of six children of 
 Douglass and Elizabeth (Wilson) Morrison. After his licensure, 
 he removed to Maryland, and in 1>23 he was married by the 
 Eev. Wm. Nevins, her pastor, to Miss Elizabeth Ann Lovell, of 
 Baltimore. He died April 19, 1837, leaving his widow and five 
 children to survive him. Elizabeth Ann Lovell, his consort, was 
 the daughter of William and Elizabeth Millington Lovell, both 
 of whom were born in London, and removed to Baltimore in the 
 latter part of the last century. From the Baltimore "Literary 
 and Eeligious Magazine" of 1837, edited by the Rev. Dr. R. J. 
 Breckinridge, ll. d., and the Rev. Andrew B. Cross, we take the 
 following facts in regard to the life and work of the Rev. Geo. 
 Morrison. He pursued his classical studies under the Rev. Dr. 
 Russell, ]/l-incipal of the Newark Academy and pastor. In 1837, 
 his classical preceptor. Dr. Russell, from his pulpit at Whiteclay 
 Creek church, paid a liigli tribute to the character and work of 
 his pupil. This discourse was, forty years afterwards, published 
 in the "Presbyterian Weekly" of Baltimore. Mr. Morrison 
 studied theology with the Rev. Dr. Samuel Martin, of Chance- 
 ford, York Co., Pa., one of the most distinguished men of his 
 generation. He was licensed as a Presbyterian minister in 1822 
 by the New Castle Presbytery. Li 1824, having had, for the two 
 years previous, charge of the Belair Classical Academy, where 
 he educated some who afterwards became distinguished among 
 the citizens of Maryland, he was transferred, by order of the 
 synod, from New Castle to the Baltimore Presbytery. In 1822, 
 he was called to the charge of the Bethel church in Harford 
 County, and about this time also purchased a farm in Baltimore 
 County at Sweet Aire, at which place he sliortly afterwards 
 established a classical boarding-school, which he conducted in 
 conjunction with his ministerial labors at Bethel and other points 
 in Baltimore and Harford Counties. Among these preaching 
 points were, Sweet Aire, where is now located the Chestnut 
 Grove church ; also in the vicinity of Cockeysville, at the house 
 of William Jessu]), near which point has grown up the Ashland 
 church ; on Deer Creek, the North Bend Presbyterian church ; 
 also at Franklinville and Belair, in connection with the Rev. 
 Wm. Finney. In fact, by him and his distinguished Presbyterian 
 associates, the Rev. Drs. Nevins, John and Robert J. Breckinridge, 
 Dr. Geo. Musgrave and Dr. Hamner, it was, that in Baltimore 
 and the region around that centre, the seeds of so many future 
 church organizations were soAvn. Mr. INIorrison, after a success- 
 ful and arduous ministry of fifteen years, died at the age of forty. 
 Through his entire ministry lie continued pastor of the Bethel 
 church in Harford County. He died at his farm-home at Sweet 
 Aire, in Baltimore County, near Baltimore, and his remains are 
 interred in the graveyard of Bethel, an old and historic church 
 of Harford, Md. In his correspondence are letters from the Rev.

 Dr. Samuel Miller, whose mother was a Millington ; also from 
 the Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander, Eev. Dr. James McGraw, Rev. 
 Wm. Finney, and Rev. Dr. Samiiel Martin, his theological ine- 
 ceptor. Dr. Martin, in the discourse preached at Bethel church, 
 at request of the congregation, after Mr. Morrison's decease, thus 
 speaks of him. We quote from the discourse as published in the 
 "Literary and Religious Magazine" of Baltimore, of April, 1838. 
 
 " The friend whose demise has given occasion to this meeting was, in the 
 estimation of those who knew liim, and who knew the people of this 
 place, pecnliarly fnrniyhed for doing good among yon. His simplicity of 
 manner; his honesty and candor; his integrity, his litlelity, his constancy 
 in friendship, opened every heart to receive him witliont jealonsj' or 
 suspicion. No man of whatever Cliristian name could withhold from 
 him the hand of brotherly aflection, nor wish him ill success. His open, 
 expressive countenance beamed love upon you with every glance. If he 
 had an enemy, he mnst have been a man whose heart breathed wrath 
 upon worth and virtue, and wliose malice was ?iis praise. In his inter- 
 course with you in your families, he was peculiarly attractive; iu his 
 teaching from liouse to house, a duty which he performetl with mucJi 
 delight, he was profitable beyond what is common. His pulpit perform- 
 ances were plain and scriptural, were adapted to instruct his hearers. 
 His discourses were always delivered with an earnestness and warmth 
 which showed the deep sense which he had of liis solemn station as 
 standing up in Christ's stead, and entreating sinners that they be recon- 
 ciled to God. His compassion for the perishing around him often flowed 
 forth from his mouth in tones so melting that his precious people could 
 not but connnix their souls with his in warm entreaties at the throne of 
 grace iu their behalf The fruit of his labors among you for the time he 
 has been spared over you, has beeu such as to furnish to you all matter 
 of praise to Him that set him over yon. I know not the number, but I 
 am fully persuaded that there are many who will ever praise and bless 
 Jehovah's name for sending this his servant to warn and entreat them to 
 come to Christ, whom he offers full and free the luispeakable gift of God 
 to guilty men. He was a pure old-style adherent to the doctrine and 
 order of the Presbyterian church as plainly stated in its standards. He 
 knew no sophistry. The metaphysics of the Bible were all the metaphys- 
 ics he ever studied, and all his pride was spent in understanding them. 
 His preaching was ' not with the enticing words of man's wisdom, but in 
 demonstration of the spirit and of power.'" 
 
 The issue of the Rev. George and Elizabeth (Lovell) Morrison 
 (both deceased), born at Sweet Aire farm, in Baltimore Co., Md.,

 Cyclopedia of Maryland and District of Columbia," 1879 (page 
 613), says: — 
 
 "Morrison, Gkokge, Presbyterian minister, and editor of the 'Pres- 
 byterian Weekly,' Baltimore, Md., was born at Sweet Air, Baltimore Co., 
 Jan. 30, 1831. After a thorough preparatoi'y education under the instruc- 
 tion of the Rev. Prof. Stephen Yerkes, i>. d., now of Danville Theological 
 Seminary, of Kentucky, the subject of this sketch entered Princeton 
 College, whence he graduated in 1852. Though in early life having a 
 great ambition to be a farmer, he established, in the autumn of the year 
 of his graduation from Princeton, a classical school at Sweet Air, which 
 proved to be a successful step. In 1854, he was elected principal of the 
 Baltimore City College, which position he held until 1857, the board of 
 scliool commissioners on the occasion of his resignation passing resolu- 
 tions highly complimentary to tlie faitliful and efficient manner in which 
 he performed his duties. The same year he removed to Danville, Ky., to 
 study theology at the Danville Theological Seminary, and in 1860 was 
 licensed by the Baltimore Presbytery to preach the gospel. After travel- 
 ling for some months in the States west of the Mississippi Riv^r, he, in 
 the autumn of 1800, accepted the charge of a church at Cynthiana, Ky., 
 where he remained until the close of the civil war. In 1865 his wife died, 
 and in the spring of that year he resigned his Kentucky charge to assume 
 the chai'ge of the First Presbyterian church at Terre Haute, Ind., the 
 duties of which he entered upon in the winter of 1866. During his Ken- 
 tucky residence he adhered to the federal government in all of its 
 struggles for unity and integrity, and was an occasional contributor to 
 the secular and religious press. He remained in charge of the church at 
 Terre Haute until the spring of 1870 ; and wdiilst thei'e, in addition to his 
 pastoral work, contributed to the ' Herald and Presbj'ter,' performed con- 
 siderable missionary and educational work for his presbytery and synod, 
 and paid off the debt of the church-building at Terre Haute. In 1870, he 
 resigned the above charge, with a view to return to the bounds of the 
 Baltimore Presbytery. In 1867, Mr. Morrison was a member of the 
 General Assembly of his church at Cincinnati; and during the same year 
 at Indianapolis, at the joint meeting of the synods of Indiana, he delivered 
 a forcible and eloquent address on the reunion of the Presbyterian church, 
 which was published in full in the 'Indianapolis Journal,' and widely 
 circulated. For a few months before his return to Maryland, he supplied 
 a church at Shipman, Macoupin Co., 111. In 1872, he accepted a call to 
 the Bethel church of Harford Co., Md., still retaining his residence in 
 Baltimore. In 1873, he became editor and one of the propi'ietors of the 
 ' Presbyterian Weekly ' of Baltimore. In May of 1875, he was appointed

 by the Presbytery of Baltimore to represent them in the General Assembly 
 which sat at Cleveland, 0. In 1876, he resigned his charge of the Bethel 
 church to assume that of the Grove church, Harford County. From 18G0 
 until the present time, Mr. Morrison has been prominently identified with 
 the questions that aflect the integrity of the Presbyterian church. His 
 father, George Morrison, was a Presbyterian minister who from 1822 to 
 1837 preached in Baltimore and Harford Counties. He was an accom- 
 plished classical teacher, his reputation as such extending throughout 
 the State. His wife, the mother of (Jeorge Morrison the younger, was 
 Eliza Milliugton Lovell. The grandfather of the subject of this sketch 
 was Douglass Morrison, who died at his farm near Whiteclay Creek 
 Presbyterian church in New Castle Co., Del. He was an elder in that 
 church, as w'ere his father and grandfather. Several generations of the 
 Morrison family, from 1711, are interred in the cemetery of the above 
 church. Mr. Morrison's maternal grandfather was William Lovell, from 
 Loudon, Avho settled in Baltimore in the early part of the present century. 
 In August of 1856, Mr. Morrison was married by the Rev. Dr. Robert J. 
 Breckinridge, to his daughter. Sail}' Campbell Breckinridge, at Braedal- 
 bane, near Lexington, Ky. She dying in 18G5, he married the second 
 time, February, 1875, Maggie Regester, daughter of Joshua Regester, of 
 Baltimore. Mr. Morrison is a gentleman of great force of character and 
 marked individuality, and is one of the ablest ministers in the Presby- 
 terian church."

 Elizabeth (Wilson) Morrison were, —

 HisTOKY OF Erskine Moruison's Branch of the Clan Mhic-Ghille-

 "In or about the year 1715, Andrew Morrison, who had, it was 
 said, taken part in 'The Rising of Fifteen,' as it was called in 
 the Highlands, came over from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where 
 he resided, passing through the Lewis, which he regarded as the 
 cradle of his race, and settled in the north of Ireland, thus avoid- 
 ing the unpleasant consequences of having taken j^art in that 
 affair. 
 
 " He came to Callagary, Tyrone Co., Ireland, and there married 
 a Miss Hamilton, the descendants of whose family have since 
 held seats in the House of Commons up to the year 1879. A 
 sister of this Miss Hamilton married a Colonel Archdall, who 
 was an ancestor of the present Archdalls of Fermanagh in Ire- 
 land. This Colonel Archdall entered into a lawsuit with his 
 brother-in-law, Andrew Morrison, for some property about which 
 there was a dispute between the two sisters. The decision of the 
 court being in favor of Mr. Morrison, an appeal was made, and 
 again was the decision given in favor of the latter. Another 
 appeal was then made, and once more Morrison gamed a victory 
 over his brother-in-law ; but the cost of these three lawsuits was 
 so enormous, that the leading lawyer of the winning side, Avho 
 was not an honest man, charged the estate with such a lieavy bill 
 to defray expenses, tliat it was sold, and the sale financially ruined 
 Mr. Morrison. He was a man of very violent temper, as was 
 proved by the fact that he once struck a man in court, and when 
 asked his reason for doing so, replied, ' My Lord, he trod on my 
 corns.'' At another time he knocked a man down in the street 
 for attempting to take the wall side of him. 
 
 " He was a gentleman by birth, education, and profession, which 
 latter was that of arms. The brancli of the Hamiltons to which 
 his wife belonged, at that time took its place amongst the aris- 
 tocracy of the kingdom, and indeed retains the same in the 
 present day. The ))roperty which came into his possession in 
 the north of Ireland, and which he afterwards lost, is now, or 
 
428 DESCENDANTS OF MORISOXS OF PRESTON GRANGE, 
 
 was not many years ago, owned by the son of a certain Sir John 
 Stuart, in the County of Tyrone. Some years after his deatli, 
 two gentlemen came over from Scotland, and urged his grandson 
 to claim a baronetcy, to which they asserted he was the heir as 
 the representative of Sir Alexander Morrison, Bart., of Preston 
 Grange, in Scotland, whose daughter Helen married Sir John 
 Riddell, Bart. These gentlemen said that they had traced 
 Andrew, Avho had left Scotland, and cut himself off from his 
 people, with whom he must have quarrelled, without giving them 
 anv idea of w^hat had become of him after the suppression of the 
 rising of 1715, but they affirmed that Andrew's representative 
 was heir to the baronetcy. Hans Morrison, who was at that time 
 in this position, was too poor to put forward claims to a title 
 which was then in abeyance, owing to ignorance of existence of 
 direct male issue. It might, however, be yet revived, if the 
 present representative, Avho is Erskine Morrison, Esq., of 11 
 Newstead Road, Burnt Ash Hill, Lee, Kent, England, choose to 
 exert himself sufficiently to have this done. This Andrew Mor- 
 rison had four children after his marriage with Miss Hamilton. 
 One of these was a son named Hans, which was, and still is, a 
 common Christian name in the Hamilton family. This Hans 
 Morrison married a Miss Erskine, and by her had three sons, 
 whose names were Erskine, Hans, and Alexander. Erskine, the 
 eldest of these, married, and had two sons, named Hans and 
 Andrew. Hans, the elder of these, married a Miss Warnock, 
 daughter of Dr. Warnock, and by her had three sons, Erskine 
 (the eldest and present representative alluded to above), William, 
 and James. These two younger sons died without issue, but 
 Erskine, who was born the 3d of November, 1812, married Anne, 
 daughter of Hans Morrison, avIio was younger brother of the first 
 Erskine, and therefore a double strain of the Morrison blood runs 
 in the only surviving issue of this marriage, whose name is Rid- 
 dell Morrison, late captain in her Majesty's 16th Regiment of 
 Infantry, and at present chaplain to her Majesty's forces. Be- 
 sides the Rev. Riddell Morrison, there Avas other issue in the 
 jaerson of the late Hans Morrison, barrister-at-law and master of 
 arts of the Middle Temple, London, who died, unmarried, aged 
 twenty-seven, on the 5th of August, 18G9. Of the three daugh- 
 ters of Andrew the Highlander, one of them, Agnes, died un- 
 married ; another married, and died without issue. The third 
 married a Mr. Bell, and had a daughter, who married a gentleman 
 descended from one of the families of Riddell, in Roxburghshire. 
 His daughter, by this lady, Miss Jane Riddell, married Hans 
 Morrison, the second son of the first Erskine. And in this fact 
 we may notice a strange coincidence, namely, that a descendant 
 of Sir Alexander Morrison, of Preston Grange, married a Miss 
 Riddell in Ireland about a hundred years after Miss Helen Mor- 
 rison, Sir Alexander's daughter, married Sir John Riddell in 
 Scotland. Four children, a son and three daughters, were the 
 issue of this marriage between Hans Morrison, the grandson, and 
 
OF SCOTLAXD. 429 
 
 J.ane Riddell, tlie great-granddaugliter of Andrew the Highlander. 
 Jane Riddell had four brothers, who were of course also, as has 
 been shown, great-grandsons of Andrew Morrison, the High- 
 lander : James Riddell, — afterwards Sir James, knighted in the 
 reign of George III, — the eldest; Hans Riddell, who was con- 
 troller of customs in the city of Londonderry ; he had formerly 
 been for some years an officer in the 62d Regiment, and on leaving 
 that regiment was presented by his brother officers with a hand- 
 some gold snuff-box, now in the possession of his grand-nephew, 
 the Rev. Riddell Morrison ; John Riddell, who died unmarried, 
 and William Riddell, the youngest, who died in the year 1851, 
 and who at the time of his death held the commission of major- 
 general in the army, having for his military services, in the war 
 of 1812 with America, been made knight of the Hanoverian 
 Guelphic Order. (See Hart's Army List of 1851.) This branch 
 of the Riddells is now extinct in the male line, none of these 
 brothers having left male issue. Hans Morrison, the grandson 
 of Andrew, who married Miss Jane Riddell, had, as has been 
 said, a son and three daughters. His son's name was also Hans, 
 who entered H. M. 46th Regt. of Foot, and became a lieutenant 
 at the early age of fourteen. He became captain in 18*25, and 
 retired afterwards on half-pay, 60th Rifles. He died unmarried 
 in 1868. Anne, the daughter, as has been shown, married her 
 father's nephew's son, Erskine, mentioned above as of Lee, Kent. 
 And besides these there were two other daughters, one of whom 
 married a Mr. Robinson in the County of Down, Ireland, and 
 the other married a Mr. Sheppard, of Maryland. This lady's 
 daughter married a Mr. Bryant, also of Maryland, and their 
 son, Sheppard Bryant, was, a very few years ago, a cadet at 
 West Point Military Academy. The third son of Hans, the 
 son of Andrew by his marriage with Miss Hamilton, left two 
 sons, both of whom died without male issue beyond the second 
 generation. The last representatives of the collateral branch 
 of Alexander, the third son of Andrew, from Scotland, Avere 
 Robert, who married a daughter of Sir James Riddell men- 
 tioned above, whose daughter, Anna Maria, married Philip Dev- 
 ereaux Hickman, Esq., of the Manor House, Esher, Surrey, in 
 England; and Erskine Morrison, of Hobart Town, Tasmania, 
 who died unmarried. Andrew, the younger son of Erskine, the 
 eldest son of Hans, the son of Andrew, left two sons, Alexander 
 and Andrew. The elder of these died unmarried, but Andrew 
 went out to Tasmania to his father's cousin, whose property he 
 inherited. He married there, and has a son. The only male 
 Morrisons of this branch of the clan now living, therefore, are 
 Erskine Morrison,* his son Rev. Riddell, and a younger son by liis

 having died 9th April, 1856). These three, with the collateral 
 branch of Andrew, of Tasmania, and his son, are the only sur- 
 viving males of this branch of the clan." * 
 
 This family is descended from the IMorisoxs of Preston^ 
 Grange, Scotland. 
 
 EARLIEST MENTION OF MHOIR, MHUIR, MHOR, OR MORE, 
 THE ORIGINAL OF M0RE80N. 
 
 In the year 503, three brothers, named Fergus, Lorn, and Angus, 
 came over from Ireland with their followers, and settled on the 
 western coast of Scotland and the islands there. In 787 these 
 were attacked by the Morganaich, or sons of Morgue, which means 
 "a man from the sea." These intermarried with the Picts; they 
 were of the ISTorse Viking race ; one of the daughters of Morgue, 
 or Morg, married Ciniod, or Kenneth, Mhoir, Mhuire, Mhor, or 
 More, meaning big or large man, who lived in Lewis, and came 
 originally from Glinne or Glen Moreson, in West Lothian, Scotland, 
 where a battle was fought in the year 640, between the Scoto- 
 Irish and the native Irish under Cruithue, King of Ulster 
 (Ireland), and this battle Avas called "the battle of the sons of big- 
 men in the Glen"; hence the name of '•'■Glen Mhoireson." From 
 this Ciniod or Kenneth More, and Agnes, daughter of Morgue, 
 our branch claims descent. . . . Skene's History of the Picts and 
 Scots mentions this battle of Glen Moreson in 640, but I think 
 this does not mean any particular family, but that there, the sons 
 of big men fought, as Mhoir or More means big. There were 
 Morrisons of Glen Morrison, whom we have always regarded as 
 clansmen, sprung from the same stock. f 
 
 EXPLANATION OF THE ORIGIN OF " THREE MOORS' HEADS" 
 IN THE ARMS AND CREST. 
 
 It is asserted that the Morisons of Preston Grange had an an- 
 cestor named Kenneth More, or Mhoir, who accompanied Lord 
 James Douglas, or "the good Sir James," as he is known in 
 Scottish history, into Spain, with the heart of King Robert the 
 Bruce, about the year 1330 ; and when they landed, they engaged 
 
 ity College, Dublin University; called to the bar of England, and was 
 winning a great reputation when he died, Aug. 5, 1869, at the early 
 age of 27 yrs. 
 
 Rev. Riddell, b. .June 30, 1843. He entered Her Majesty's 1st or Royal 
 Regt. of Dragoons, Sept. 17, 1861 ; was transferred to the 4th Royal 
 Irish Regt. of Dragoon Guards, where he became lieutenant; then 
 exchanged to the 16th Regt. of Infantry of the Line, and was pro- 
 moted to l)e a captain and sold out his commission in 1870. He then 
 entered St. Aiden's College of Divinity, near Birkenhead, Cheshire, in 
 1871, and was ordained deacon in Sept. 1873, and priest in 1875. He 
 is now chaplain of her Majesty's forces at Halifax, N. S.

 Lord James Douglas was killed in attempting to rescue Sir Wil-

 one of the Scottish host exclaimed, '•'•One Scottish Christian

 MORRISONS OF CAPE BRETON. 
 
 1. Angus Morrison was the ninth generation in descent from 
 an Episcopalian clergyman in the Island of Lewis, Scotland, who 
 was a descendant of the celebrated Bhreitheimh Leoghasach (Lewis 
 Judge). Tracing the genealog_y backwards, according to the old 
 Highland custom, Angus was the son of John, son of Angus, son 
 of Donald, son of Angus, son of John, son of Donald (Ban), son 
 of either Koderick or Angus, sons of the above-named Episcopa- 
 lian clergyman. He, like many of the family from Avhich he 
 descended, was noted for his charitable and hospitable disposition, 
 his fairness and uprightness in all transactions, and his exemplary 
 conduct through life, as Avell as for his sincerity and zeal in mat- 
 ters of religion. In his youth he was an accomplished player on 
 the Highland bagpipes, but at the age of twenty-six he became 
 religiously inclined, and gave up playing upon his favorite instru- 
 ment, for* the reason, as he remarked, that he found it "tended to 
 lead him into temptation." Some years after, when a handsome 
 sum was offered him for his bagpipes, he refused the money, neither 
 would he give the instrument as a gift, stating that he found it an 
 injury to himself, and what was an injury to him he " would not 
 place* in the hands of another to his hurt." He then took it, tied 
 a stone to it, and threw it into the sea. 
 
 He was born at Strond, Harris, Scotland, Sept. 1792 ; died St. 
 Anns, Cape Breton, Feb. 9, 1878 ; he married, 1817, Martha-Cath- 
 erine M'Killop, born Obb, Harris, Oct. 1797 ; died at St. Anns, 
 Jan. 22, 1877. Children : —

 1872, teaching one school sixteen years; now a merchant and 
 farmer; res. St. Anns, Cape Breton. In September, 1878, he Avas 
 
432 .MdKHISOXS OF CAPE BRETON. 
 
 elected to represent the County of Victoria, in tlie Parliament of 
 Nova Scotia. At the close of the session in 1879, he delivered 
 a speech, in Gaelic, in favor of teaching that language, which is 
 inserted. The translation was not obtained. It is probably the 
 first Gaelic speech ever delivered in a legislative body on this 
 continent. Mr. Morrison said : —

 and proceeded directly to her brother, John Mitcheltree, m. d., 
 Avho resided in Shenango Township, Mercer Co., Pa., arriving there 
 Aug. 18, 1818. Here she settled with her six children. There 
 was a tradition in the family that some of their father's relatives 
 had emigrated at an early day to Londonderry, N. H. Rev. W.- 
 V. Morrison, d.d., of Bristol, R. I., writes: "When a boy, I 
 remember to have heard my father often say that some oi his 
 father's relatives had emigrated to America at an early period, 
 'and settled in Londonderry, N. H., and that he had been told 
 that the name of one of them was Eobert.""* Elizabeth, on 
 leaving Ireland, intended to visit her husband's relatives in Lon- 
 donderry; but finding the country so much larger than she 
 expected, and methods of travelling difficult, her cherished plan 
 was abandoned, and the remainder of her life was spent near 
 her brother, where she at first settled. Slie died March, 1828.

 lemhuire, Hereditary Judges of Lewis,' some of which family emi- 
 grated to the north of Ireland at the close of the Reformation, 
 and were at the famous siege of Londonderrj-, 1688-89, so graph- 
 ically described by Macaulay. . . . The subject of this sketch 
 spent the first seventeen years of his life upon a farm. After 
 pursuing the usual academic studies, he entered Alleghany Col- 
 lege, Meadville, Pa., in 1850, and graduated in 1854. He then 
 spent three years at the Theological School at Concord, N. H., 
 now merged in the Boston University, graduating in 1857. He 
 joined the Providence Annual Conference of the Methodist-Epis- 
 copal church at its session in Bristol, R. I., April 1, 1857, in a 
 class of nine, in which were Rev. V.-M. Cooper, now of Mount 
 Bellingham church, Chelsea, Mass. ; Rev. George-W. Quereau, 
 D. D., late principal of Jennings Seminary, 111. ; and Rev. C.-II. 
 Payne, d. d., ll. d., president of the Wesleyan University, 
 Delaware, O. Of no class that has entered the Providence 
 Conference, in its whole history of foi'ty years, have so many 
 risen to distinction. Dr. Morrison's first pastoral cliarge was 
 at Millville, Mass. We afterwards find him filling important 
 pulpits in the Central church, Norwich, Conn., Staflbrd Springs, 
 Conn., Wellfleet and East Weymouth, Mass. In the latter 
 place especially, his success and popularity were very great. 
 In 1874, he was made presiding elder of the Fall River District, 
 in wliich he remained his full term of four years. This district 
 eml)raced all of Newport County, R. I., and large portions of 
 Bristol and Plymouth, and a part of Norfolk, Mass., Avith 41 
 churches, 42 pastorates, and 4,703 members. He discharged 
 the duties of this important charge with such distinguished 
 satisfaction, that at the close of his term in 1878, the bishop 
 
AMLLIAM-VEACH MORUISON. 435 
 
 was requested to reappoint him to a vacant district; but a rule 
 of the Episcopacy against the reappointment of a presiding 
 elder to a second consecutive term, forbade it. He was there- 
 fore appointed to Bristol, R. I., in 1878. This is one of the 
 oldest Methodist churclies in Rhode Island, dating from 1791, 
 and one of the largest and most important of any denomina- 
 tion in the State. Here his success and popularity have ex- 
 ceeded those of his former pastorates. Since 1874, he has been 
 the president of the Martha's Vineyard Association, which puts 
 him in charge of the great seaside camp-meeting carried on 
 under the auspices of that association, and in which his ad- 
 ministration has been popular and acceptable. In 1877, his 
 (lima iiiatfr, Alleghany College, conferred upon him the degree 
 of Doctor of Divinity. On the 5th of April, 18.57, he married 
 Miss Marj'-P., daughter of John and Jane Fussleman, of 
 Warren, 0. Dr. Morrison is now in the fulness of his powers; 
 modest and unassuming; of a pure life and spotless character; 
 beloved and respected by all." Two children: William-Frank,

436 CHARTER JAMES MORISON OF LONDONDERRY, N. H. 
 
 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM IRELAND. 
 
 Alexander Morrison, of No. 25 Main Street, Beragh, Tyrone 
 Co., Ireland, is over seventy years of age, and is able to trace his 
 connection with the Morrisons mentioned at commencement of 
 this chapter. 
 
 He remembers Betty (Mitcheltree) Morrison, widow of Andrew 
 Morrison (No. 2, p. 433), and who emigrated to Quebec. He 
 remembers " the fact of her emigrating, her previous visits to the 
 friends before setting out, . . . and other incidents Avhicli prove 
 him to be of the family."* 
 
 Alexander Morrison says : " I am over seventy years of age. 
 The nierabers of my father's family were four ; two sisters. 
 
 L Margaret; m. in Philadelphia, James Smith, of Co. Tyrone, Ire- 
 land, and about 1874 was living in Pittsburg, Pa. 
 
 2. Anna; became Mrs. Moore, and d. in Ireland. 
 
 3. Hamilton ; d. in Ireland. 
 
 4. Alexander (himself) ; single. 
 
 Their father was ^Tohn Morrison, who had lived at the old 
 family seat at Laragh, near Beragh, but removed to the town- 
 land of Orbelreagh, about four miles from Londonderry, where 
 he lived about five j^ears, and died. 
 
 The grandfather of Alexander was 'John Morrison, of Laragh, 
 whose death, about 1827, at the great age of one hundred and ten 
 years, he remembers. 
 
 He had two sons and five daughters. His son Samuel removed 
 to Balinamallard, County Termanaugh ; married, and died there. 
 His son John's record as given. 
 
 Alexander Morrison says : " My grandfather had a brother 
 named William (see No. 1, p. 438), who had two sons, John and 
 Andrew. The first died at Beachrin, near Beragh." "Andrew 
 (see No. 2, p. 483) was remarkable as a strong man. He met 
 his death in endeavoring to secure a runaway horse in or about 
 1815. His wife was Betty Mitcheltree, of Clogher, County Tyrone. 
 Some time after her husband's death, she emigrated, with her 
 family of six children, to America." The name of one son Avas 
 John ; the father of Rev. W.-V. Morrison, d. d., of p. 434.

 owned lands there ; also a grist-mill. This mill was at a place now 
 called "Pumpkin Hook." Was appointed a justice of the peace 
 by colonial governor and council as early as 1772, and in 1773 
 was elected supervisor. In a letter to his brother, Lieut. Samuel 
 Morison, of Windham, N. H. (now in possession of the author of 
 this book), bearing date of "Cambridge, February ye 5th, 1776," 
 he says: "Sir John Johnston, with a number of his tenants. 
 Highland men and High Dutch men, to the number of nearly one 
 thousand, had embodied themselves, armed, and threatened to 
 destroy the country. They live in Tryon County.J News of it 
 coming to the committee of Albany, they went out through the 
 county, and in three or four days got 8,000 men together. There 
 were thirty went from our town, and for their quick getting 
 together they took a sleigli for every six men. When they got 
 together, they had 1,260 sleighs. They went to Sir John's, and 
 the Tories thought it not best to fight with such an army, and

 they delivered up their arms, and signed articles to pay all the 
 costs, and the head men of them are to leave the province."* 
 The jirobable reason for the Morisons settling in Cambridge, 
 X. Y., and vicinity, arose from the fact that some of their num- 
 ber passed through the country in the French and Indian war, as 
 soldiers in the Provincial regiments of New Hampshire and 
 Massachusetts, and so became acquainted with the fertility of 
 the soil, and liking the country, concluded to settle there. 
 
 The date of the death of Thomas Morison, Esq., I have been 
 unable to find. It is reported that his family removed to Kort- 
 right, Delaware Co., N. Y.
