Deborah married Zachariah Barber on 24 Dec 1717 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Zachariah (son of Zachariah Barber and Abiel Ellis) was born on 19 Oct 1685 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died on 6 Jul 1746 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Elisha Barber was born on 23 Nov 1722 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died on 7 Jul 1803 in Sherborn, Middlesex, Massachusetts; was buried in South Sherborn Cemetery, Sherborn, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

Notes:

Town treasurer of Medfield, 1709-10; selectman 1708 and 1713. He was a weaver. He taught school in the village in 1713 and 1722.

Nathaniel married Lydia Wight on 24 Nov 1686 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Lydia (daughter of Ephraim Wight and Lydia Morse) was born on 14 Mar 1669 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died on 30 Oct 1741 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He came to Medfield from Dedham in 1653, in company with his brother John and sister Margery.

He was neither a son of John Partrige of Olney, Buckinghamshire nor of John Partridge of Navestock, Essex. His relationship to his brother John and sister Margery is established, but their parents are unknown.

William married Sarah Colborne on 19 Nov 1656 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Sarah (daughter of Nathaniel Colborne and Priscilla Clark) was born on 15 Apr 1640 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died on 24 Aug 1716 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Ephraim married Lydia Morse on 2 Mar 1668 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Lydia (daughter of Daniel Morse and Lydia Fisher) was born before 13 Apr 1645; was christened on 13 Apr 1645 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died on 14 Jul 1722 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Tingley (citation details below) asserts that he came in 1630 with Gov. Winthrop, but he is not listed in Robert Charles Anderson's 2012 The Winthrop Fleet, so we presume this is in error. He was in Watertown and then Dedham in the early 1630s.

Nathaniel married Priscilla Clark on 25 Jul 1639 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Priscilla died on 12 Aug 1692 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

At Watertown in 1637, then at Dedham shortly after.

Thomas married Alice. Alice died on 15 Jul 1665 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also called Elsie. Often called Alice Roundy in online charts; we're unaware of any evidence for this.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 1613

Daniel married Lydia Fisher about 1638. Lydia (daughter of Anthony Fisher and Alice) was born before 4 Mar 1621; was christened on 4 Mar 1621 in Syleham, Suffolk, England; died on 29 Jan 1691 in Sherborn, Middlesex, Massachusetts; was buried in Farm Cemetery, Sherborn, Middlesex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Possibly the "Leonerd Colbron" baptized at Raydon, just west of Woolverstone, 15 Mar 1571, son of Edmond Colbron.

Leonard married Sarah Lewes on 24 Aug 1601 in Woolverstone, Suffolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

With his wife, he migrated to New England in 1635.

Probably, but not absolutely proven as, a son of the Rev. Thomas Morse of Boxted, Essex; Hinderclay, Suffolk; and Foxearth, Essex.

Samuel Morse and Elizabeth Jasper are the most recent common ancestors of BAM and TWK. They are also ancestors of presidents William Howard Taft and Calvin Coolidge, and (probably, assuming that Nathaniel Butler, husband of Sarah Herrick, was a son of Benjamin Butler, 1727-1800, and Susanna Whiting, 1734-1775) also of the two Bush presidents.

Robert Charles Anderson, in The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume V, p. 174:

In 1929 G. Andrews Moriarty published an extensive collection of extracts from probate records and parish registers for the surname Morse in Suffolk and Essex and on that basis constructed a pedigree of the family in those counties [NEHGR 83:70-84, 278-94]. He discussed three Samuel Morses who might have been the immigrant, and concluded that the New England man was the son of the Rev. Thomas Morse of Boxted, Essex, Hinderclay, Suffolk, and Foxearth, Essex [NEHGR 83:286-89]. (This same identification had been made in 1865 by Abner Morse [NEHGR 19:264-66].)

In 1948, in the course of examining John Morse of Boston, Robert H. Montgomery analyzed Moriarty's arguments and concluded that Moriarty had not proved his case [TAG 24:147-56, at 148-49]. Less than a year later Moriarty defended his position vigorously [TAG 25:54-56]. We have accepted Moriarty’s identification as the most likely solution, with the caveat that additional evidence would be welcome.

Samuel married Elizabeth Jasper on 29 Jun 1602 in Redgrave, Suffolk, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Lancelot Jasper and Rose) was born before 30 Jan 1580; was christened on 30 Jan 1580 in Redgrave, Suffolk, England; died on 20 Jun 1655 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He emigrated to New England in 1637. As reported in The Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton 4 (citation details below), the wife of Anthony Fisher was received into the church at Dedham 27 March 1642. But Anthony took some persuading:

"M^d Anthony Fisher mentioned in ye beginning after many offences given in this conv'rsation & much means used to convince & reduce him into order, at last after god had much humbled him & brought him to a penitent co'fession therof he was co'fortably received into ye church 14^d 1^m 1645."

Anthony married Alice about 1614. Alice was born about 1594; died on 12 Jan 1663 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Between 10 Nov 1596 and 10 Mar 1597

Notes:

He was an early member of the Dedham Classis, alongside the Rev. Thomas Stoughton. Installed in 1573 as vicar of Boxted, Essex, of which the bishop of London was patron, he was, as Robert Charles Anderson says in Puritans and Pedigrees (citation details below), "repeatedly called before the church courts for the usual puritan infractions, such as not wearing the surplice, not using the Book of Common Prayer and not using the sign of the cross in baptism." He resigned his position at Boxted in 1578 and was an intinerant preacher for the next five years. He was made rector of Hinderclay in northern Suffolk, 14 Jul 1583. From 1595 to his death he was rector of Foxearth, Essex.

Thomas married Margaret King on 26 May 1573 in Boxted, Essex, England. Margaret was born before 28 Jul 1525; was christened on 28 Jul 1525 in Hinderclay, Suffolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Lancelot married Rose. Rose died before 3 Sep 1625; was buried on 3 Sep 1625 in Redgrave, Suffolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Anthony married Mary Fiske on 16 Oct 1586 in Fressingfield, Suffolk, England. Mary (daughter of Nicholas Fiske and Johan Crispe) was born about 1561; died after 19 Apr 1640. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
