Descendants of John Morse
Generation No. 1
1. JOHN1 MORSE was
born February 12, 1769 in Stoughton, MA1,
and died Bef. 1821 in Grand Manan, NB2. He married POLLY CASTLE
February 12, 1789 in Stoughton, MA3. She was born Abt. 1770 in Stoughton, MA4, and died Bef. 1860 in
Milbridge, ME5.
Notes for JOHN MORSE:
The origin of this branch of the Morse Family has not been fully
determined. It has been said John Morse
and his family of eight first came to Grand Manan in 1802. They were certainly
of the Island by the year 1807, As this was the year that John Morse petitioned
the Crown for 200 acres on Grand Manan
Island. See Provincial Archives of New Brunswick (PANB) Series RS108 under
Charlotte County Land Petitions 1807 PANB Film # F4171 Petition # 367. John Morse’s petition for land on Grand
Manan stated he had a wife and eight children. He and many others petitioned
under Frederick Foster. The list of petitioners was reviewed by Dr. Faxon who
underscored the names of those who were unworthy. His review was dated July 26, 1806. John Morse was deemed
unworthy. The petition was signed, dated and filed November 8, 1807. See PANB
Series RS686 Land Grants Volume "E" page 228 Grant # 560 where John
Morse was granted 200 acres on November 24, 1810. However the on-line PANB Land
Grant Index states John Morse received 100 acres. I think I can explain the
difference of 100 acres. See PANB Film F-5180 Charlotte Co. Land Transfers
(1802-1819) volume D, page 111 where
John Morse, yeoman,sells one half of lot # 240 or 100 acres to Samuel
Small for 20 pounds 10 shillings. Land butted and bounded by the land of John
& Samuel Tibbits on northeasterly side, southeasterly by lot # 28,
southwesterly on land owned by David Quigby (sic: should read Quigley) and on
the northwesterly side by himself. The deed was made on April 13, 1810, or
several months before John Morse received his grant. Tisher Hutch and John
Faxon witnessed John Morse sign and seal the instrument. The deed was
registered on January 10, 1811 and recorded on January 21, 1811.
See PANB Film # F-5180
(1802-1819) Volume D:243-1 Where John Dunn, Esq., of St. Andrews, county of
Charlotte, NB sell to John Sprague & John Morse, both of Grand Manan
Island for 125 pounds one half of lot
#22 or 50 acres of the original 100
acres of the first division of lots granted to Barnabus Rich and by him sold to
me, John Dunn on the 22nd of June 1812.
I still need to research the records after 1835 to learn what happened
to these lands. A search for probate records for John Morse was made and none was found.
It has been hypothesized based on name, place, and time
associations by members of the Morse Society (a society of American &
Canadian descendants of Samuel,
Anthony, William, Robert and Joseph Morse &
John Moss ) that the first John Morse of Grand Manan was a native of
Stoughton, Massachusetts and was the
son of John-6 Morse (Henry-5, Joseph-4, 3
,John-2, Samuel-1.) John, who was of the seventh generation, most likely removed from Stoughton around
1792 to the State of Vermont and then to Grand Manan Island, Charlotte,
Co., New Brunswick before 1807, when he petitioned and for a Crown Grant.
Here is a clue I have overlooked for 18 years. In a letter dated 25 March 1982
from Arlene Skehan of Gardiner, Maine. She states: "All Saints Anglican Church, St. Andrews Amity Moorse m.
21April 1818 to James Price" also "Edward Moorse m. Harriet Knight"
and Joseph Moorse m. Rebecca Mahee."
" I think this clinches the ancestry of John Morse -7 (the first
John Morse of Grand Manan). His great grandparents were Rev. Joseph -4 &
Amity (Harris) Morse." This is something I need to chase down
A definite clue that indicates that the Grand Manan Morse originated
from Massachusetts is found in the 1850 Census of Millbridge, Maine.
It states that Mary Morse, age 81, was born in Massachusetts. She was living with her daughter and
son-in-law, John and Mary (Morse)
Sprague.
The Morse family, who had been
living in Grand Manan before 1807,
collectively picked up stakes along with the Sprague family and removed
to several Narraguagus Townships in western Washington Co., Maine between the years 1845 to 1854. These townships included Millbridge, Steuben,
Cherryfield & Harrington. As
far as I can determine one Morse family remained behind during the migration. It was that of William A. &
Alice Morse. Evidence shows that
at least four male Morse members returned,
David, Asa Jr., Alonzo
& George. The latter two
returned to live out the remainder of their lives. Morse descendants living on
Grand Manan today mostly descend
through William, George and Alonzo who were the sons of Asa Sr. Morse. David and Asa, Jr. who were the sons of John stayed only briefly and returned to
Washington Co. after 1860 The wife of
Alonzo , who was a son of Asa,
Sr., and who drowned in the Bay of
Fundy, returned to Steuben before the
drowning in 1886 and lived with her daughter Clara. This will be discussed
later.
A State of Maine death certificate states that the father of Henry Owen
Morse (My direct line of descent,) was
Benjamin H. Morse (born @ Grand Manan about. 1819.) He married Harriet Johnston @ Grand Manan on 11 August 1838. The 1850 Census of Millbridge suggests that
she was born in N.B. in 1817. Also
listed in this census under Benjamin H. are Elizabeth B., age 11, and Henry O.,
age 8. (Henry Owen Morse was my great
grandfather.)
The 1850 Census of Washington County Maine shows there were two elder
Morse males who would be the father of
the 10 younger male Morse listed in that census. They were John living in Cherryfield and Asa Sr. living in
Steuben. Based on circumstantial
evidence, Asa Sr. is the logical
choice to have been the father of Benjamin H. Morse. In 1876, Asa Morse, Sr.
Deeded land to Benjamin H.’s daughter Ida E. Tracy. It is more likely that
Asa would have had a land transaction
with his granddaughter than his great niece.
A second Benjamin with the initial W. was in Cherryfield for the 1860
census living two houses down from the elder John Morse. This Benjamin W. had several land
transactions concerning land in Cherryfield on the ridge. Based on the transactions, I have no doubt Benjamin W. was a son of the elder John, thus strengthening the contention that
Benjamin H. was the son of the elder Asa Morse. Asa Sr. Morse married Hannah Gray, b. in N.B. in the year 1802.
Based on census records and land transactions, Asa & Hannah’s male children would
include, Benjamin H., Enoch,
George , Alonzo, Daniel for sure & most likely William,
who never left Grand Manan. William
& George married sisters. Brothers
are more likely to marry sisters rather than cousins.
John Morse and his wife ,
Margaret based on census and
land transactions had the following sons:
John, Jr., Asa,
Jr., Benjamin W., David
& James W.
Those of you who desire
information concerning my sources (Vital Statistics, deeds,
probate or whatever) contact me at:
stevensj@gwi.net
In time I hope to find the town in Vermont that the family removed to
about 1792. (note: Asa born ca. 1795 is enumerated in the 1850,
1860 & 1870 census as having been born in the State of Vermont.)
If you can believe the contention of the Morse Society that the John
Morse who settled at Grand Manan was the John Morse from Stoughton, MA. then
you can lookup the first 7 generations which are in print. The Morse Society published two volumes in
1903 & 1905 called "The Morse Genealogy", compiled by J. Howard Morse & Emily W.
Leavitt under the auspices of the Morse Society. The Morse of interest are found in the section titled Samuel
Morse and numbers 1, 2, 32, 142, 382, 857, & 1829. Where 1829 is John Morse of the 7th
generation "who married Polly Castle in Stoughton, MA and removed to some town in Maine."
They ended up in Maine ok but it was a journey that took them first to Vermont,
then Canada and finally to Maine.
John Morse Sr., according to
his Memorial of 1807 (Charlotte Co. # 367 1807 see Frederick Foster Film #
F4171-PANB) for Crown Land Grant stated
among other things he had a wife and 8 children. On December 23, 1810 John
received his grant (Book E Grant #560
for 100 acres). By the time of the 1821
Census of Grand Manan only 4 of his children were enumerated:
1.) John Jr. and wife Margaret
Morse with with 3 male children under
16.
2.) Eunice and husband Ethyl Smith with a family of 2 males under 16
and 3 females under 16. Living next to brother John.
3.) Asa an wife Hannah Morse with 2 males under 16.
4.) Mary and husband John Sprague, Jr. with 3 males under 16 and 2
females under 16.
John Sr. & Mary Morse were not enumerated. We know
she lived to at least 1850. John Morse, Sr. may be dead at this point.
There is a possibility that the Patty, wife of David Quigby Jr.(should
read Quigley) enumerated with 3 females under 16 is Martha Morse. Her husband, Elisha Smith is not enumerated.
Patty was a common nickname for Martha in those days. David Quigley, Jr. and
Patty are next door to John Sprague, Jr.&.his wife Mary,Jr. Morse. This
remains to be proven.
Children of JOHN MORSE and POLLY CASTLE are:
2. i. JOHN2 MORSE, JR., b. Abt. 1789,
Stoughton, MA; d. Aft. 1870,
Cherryfield, ME.
3. ii. MARY MORSE, b. November 19, 1792,
Stoughton, MA; d. Aft. 1860,
Milbridge, ME.
4. iii. ASA MORSE, b. Abt. 1795, Vermont; d.
Aft. 1876, Cherryfield, ME.
iv. MARTHA MORSE, b. Abt. 1797, Vermont6;
d. Unknown, Grand Manan; m. ELISHA SMITH, October 13, 1814,
Western Isles, Charlotte Co., NB; b. Abt. 1800; d. Unknown.
Notes for ELISHA SMITH:
Concerning the 1814 Marriages of Elisha & Ethel Smith to Martha and
Eunice Morse respectively.
Charlotte County is one of the original counties established for New
Brunswick in 1785. There were 7
original parishes that were created in 1786:
Pennfield, Saint Andrews, Saint David, Saint George, Saint
Patrick, Saint Stephen and West Isles .
Campobello and Grand Manan were set off from West Isles in 1803 and 1816
respectively. With this in mind Grand Manan was apart of West Isles until 1816.
Therefore if a marriage was stated as having occurred in West Isles in 1814 it
could have been performed in Grand Manan or Deer Isle. There lies the confusion
of the Smith brothers marriages to the Morse sisters. Although the register for
these two 1814 marriages state that all
were of West Isles, they were all actually of Grand Manan.
5. v. EUNICE MORSE, b. Abt. 1799, Vermont; d.
Abt. 1841, Grand Manan.
vi. ISAAC MORSE, b. Abt. 1800, possibly
Grand Manan; d. Aft. 1839, Grand Manan, NB; m. SARAH QUIGLEY,
March 04, 1837, Grand Manan6; b. Abt. 1822, Grand Manan, NB;
d. Aft. 1837, Grand Manan, NB.
Notes for ISAAC MORSE:
He could be son of John(1) & Polly (Castle). If so,
he was an older man who married a girl who required permission of
parents, or, he could be a
son of John(2) & Margaret (Who?) Morse, both could have been under
age, or even more remote is the
possibility he was John(1) 's youngest
brother, in which case he would have been a man about 57 years old
marrying an under aged girl. For now we'll call him a possible son of John (1)
(N.S.W.)
Isaac Morse,
yeoman, witnessed the marriage of Wentworth Quigley and Almira Sprague with
Freeman Sprague on November 16, 1839.

Varner and the lot granted to Reuben Bingham called 75 acres Dated 7 October
1826. The deed was received and registered on the 8th of October of 1833.
John Morse Jr. stated in the 1870 Census of Cherryfield, ME that he was
born in Vermont. However he is listed as born in NB in the 1850 Census and born
in Massachusetts for the 1860 Census.
John Morse, Jr. was the first
of the Grand Manan Morse to purchase land immigrating to Washington Co.
See Washington Co. Deed 75:384

7. DAVID3 MORSE
(JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1819 in Grand
Manan37, and died Bef. 1900 in Harrington, ME38. He married LUCINDA W. NASH August 25, 1846 in
Harrington, ME39. She
was born Abt. October 1823 in Harrington,
ME40, and died May 12, 1909 in Harrington, ME.
Notes for DAVID MORSE:
David Morse never purchased land in Washington Co. It is assumed that
he came from Grand Manan at the same time as the other members of his Family in
the middle 1840s. He married Lucinda
Nash about 1847 and was enumerated in Harrington, ME with Lucinda's mother and
father for the 1850 census.
See Washington Co. Deed
94:168/9 dated 14 September 1857
Wm. Freeman, Jr. sells Asa Morse 25 acres land bordered by Benjamin and David
Morse. This land is on the Cherry field
Ridge and is labled the "McKinney lot."
David is not enumerated in Washington Co. for the 1860 census but is
listed in the 1861 census at Grand Manan.
He and Asa, Jr, who also returned to Grand Manan for the 1861 census
were listed as Fishermen and were members of the Baptist Church. William A. Morse was listed as a member of
the Episcopal Church. David and his family returned to Washington Co. by the
1870 and is enumerated in Harrington where he lived to the end of his life. The
1881 Washington Co. Atlas shows David Morse living on land in Harrington next
to the Nash Family.
The Morse family members came to the Narraguagus area of Washington Co.
about the mid 1840s. The earliest
Washington Co. deed transaction for a Morse of this family is 1852. This indicates that these Morse family
members were all allowed to settle on the land of William Freeman, Jr. until
they could afford to purchase their own land.
The fact that John, Sr., John Jr., Benjamin, David, Asa, & James all
settled in close proximity on the ridge in Cherryfield suggest strong family ties
and it is very probable that the latter five are sons of John, Sr.
The 2 Morse brothers John and
Asa, sons of John Morse Sr. had eleven male
& six female offspring that
we can account for. The six females are easy they were living in their respective
homes during the 1850 census. John, Jr. removed from Grand Manan in the middle
or so 1840s to Cherryfield, ME. Asa Sr.
moved about the same time to Steuben, ME.
One of the eleven male offspring, William A., remained behind at Grand Manan and live there all his life.
George, Asa, Jr., David and Alonzo returned to Grand Manan. Asa Jr and David
returned to Washington Co. ME shortly after returning to the Island and George
& Alonzo lived the rest of their lives at the Island.
At the time of the 1850 census of Washington Co. John the 3rd was
living with his father. George,
Enoch, Alonzo and Daniel K. were living
with their father Asa Sr. An Enoch G.
was living with Asa Sr. in 1860. So there are six males left to assign.
The only way to sort these six out was through Washington Co. Deeds.
James W. & Benjamin W. were enumerated with John II very close to
each other on the ridge in Cherryfield for the 1860 census. John III died
before the 1860 census.

9. ASA3 MORSE
(JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1825 in Grand
Manan65, and died August 26, 1886 in Perry, Washington
Co., ME65. He married FIDELIA HALL66 January 04, 1850 in
Harrington, ME/Int.66.
She was born Abt. 1829 in Harrington,
ME67, and died Abt. 1911 in Perry, Washington
Co., ME67.
Notes for ASA MORSE:
Asa Jr. lived in several places.
He left Grand Manan in the mid 1840s to Millbridge, ME settled on
land owned by Moses H. Wallace. He was of
Millbridge for the 1850 census and
on land owned by Moses Wallace. Also on
the same property was Benjamin H. Morse and family.
See Washington Co. Deed 87:475/6 dated 5 September 1854 where Asa
purchased some of Wallace's land in Millbridge. On November 16, 1855 he
mortgaged his home and land to John W. Sprague. Apparently Asa defaulted and John got the Land. The deed was
received on 27 March 1857.
See Washington Co. Deed 81:277 dated 27 April 1854 where Asa purchases 25 acres on the ridge in Cherryfield from Wm.
Freeman, Jr. for $50.. Land known as the McKinney Lot. This land is next to David and Benjamin
Morse's land.
See Washington Co Deed 94:232 dated14 September 1859 where Asa sold Charlotte E. Morse 2 acres of the land he
purchased on 27 April 1854 with the buildings for $6. Charlotte was the wife of
James W. Morse. Asa's wife was Fidelia.
See Washington Co. Deed 94:168/9 where Asa of Cherryfield sold to
Mehitable Harrington, wife of Wm. Harrington, 23 acres of land for $200., same
land as he purchased from Wm Freeman,
Jr. on 27 April 1854, less the 2 acres he sold to Charlotte Morse. Fidelia
relinquished her right of dower.
At this point it looks as if Asa and his family head off to Grand Manan
as he is not enumerated in Washington Co for the 1860 census but is found in
Grand Manan in the 1861 Census.
He's back in Millbridge for the
1870 census, but leaves shortly to Hipes Island, NB, where in 1875 he sells the
Millbridge property. In 1876 he is of
Eastport when he takes out a mortgage on land in Perry. Asa made good on the mortgage but in 1886
he deeds the Perry property to his wife Fidelia. Asa dies shortly there after and Delia dies in 1911.
The fact that he lived on the Cherryfield Ridge and sold some of his
property to James Morse's wife makes a strong case that he was a son of John
Morse rather than Asa Morse.
Children of ASA MORSE and FIDELIA HALL are:
i. ALBERT E.4 MORSE, b. Abt. 1851, Milbridge, ME68;
d. Unknown; m. ANNA FICKETT; d. Unknown.

She married JOHN TENAN Abt. 1847 in
Cherryfield, ME. He was born Abt. 182472,
and died December 09, 1901 in Cherryfield,
ME73.
Notes for JOHN TENAN:
Information about the family of John Tenan provided by Cheryl Bragdon
Stauffer, RR# 2 Box 171,
Gardiner, ME 04345. <Cheri926@aol.com> John Tenan is listed in the
Census Records of Cherryfield, ME as
Tinney in 1850, Tenan in 1860 and Tenna
in 1870. After that time in appeared as Tenan.
The Census Records also suggest he was born in 1827, 1828 or 1829. His
gravestone found in the Willey -Morse Pasture along the Cherryfield Ridge
indicates his year of birth at 1824.
This is the date that the SIP files housed at the Maine State Library in
August suggest.
It is Family tradition that John Tenan's wife was Mary Jane Morse who
was born at Grand Manan according to census Records of Cherryfield, ME.
One examining the the 1850, 1860
& 1870 Census Records easily realizes that she would be a daughter of
John, Jr. & Margaret Morse. In
these 3 census she is living next door to Father and some of her brothers
. Mary Jane's year of birth is stated
by the Cherryfield - Narraguagus Historical Society as 1829 according to a
letter to Cheryl Stauffer from Margery Brown dated 7 February 1998.
Children of MARY MORSE and JOHN TENAN are:

Cherryfield, ME. She was born September 26, 1831 in
Cherryfield, ME91,
and died March 24, 1894 in Cherryfield,
ME92.
Notes for BENJAMIN
W. MORSE:
See deed 87:74 where Benjamin W. & his wife Mary Jane Morse purchased 25 acres of land on the
Cherryfield Ridge 0n the 2nd of
September 1856 from William Freeman, Jr.
See deed 93:487/8. where on 25
September 1856 Benjamin and his wife mortgaged this land through William
Freeman, Jr.
Notes for MARY JANE TENAN:
In 1850 Mary Jane Tenan is listed as age 19 (b. about 1831). However her age according to he tombstone
calculates that she was born in 1825. It is my conjecture that her birthday is
correct as found on her tombstone.
Therefore I am assigning her year of birth as 1831.
