"Morse Genealogy"
J. Howard Morse, Emily W. Leavitt
Morse Society, New York, 1903
"Samuel Morse - was born in 1587, died April 5 (June 20), 1654. In the Register of Dedham,
England, was found: "Richard Morse married February 15, 1586, Margaret Symson, and their
son Samuel was baptized July 25, 1587." At the time of Samuel's decease in Dedham, Mass.,
in 1654, he was 67 years of age, whence it is argued that this Samuel is more likely to have
been the son of Richard and Margaret Morse than of Rev. Thomas Morse, whose will Rev.
Abner Morse, placed on record as promising to have been that of the father of Samuel of
Dedham, Mass. Samuel Morse married, before he left England, Elizabeth ----, who was born
in 1587, died in 1654."

in Medfield, Mass., 5 Apr 1654, aged sixty-seven years. He married in England about 1610,
Elizabeth ----, born there in 1587, died in Medfield, 10 June 1655. "
