| Notes |
- He was the first permanent English settler in Dublin, NH. A very influential citizen in Framingham and Dublin, NH, as were his sons Thomas and Reuben Morse. A Capt. in the War of Independence
" A captain's commission was sent him (Thomas Morse) by
the royal Governor Wentworth, of New Hampshire, to keep him
loyal, which he indignantly spurned; and, ere hostilities com-
menced, he had three sons trained to volunteer at the first call,
while he, advanced in years, remained at home with the others to
carry on the farm, and encourage his fellow-citizens to patriotic
efforts. He was pronounced by one of the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence, who had much intercourse with him, to be
the ' shrewdest man he ever knew.' " History of Dublin, pg 836
