The following list of names is without date, and comprises, with the exception of Mr. Willard, the heads of families living in the town soon after its resettlement. An approximation of the time when it was written may be obtained from the fol- lowing fact: The name of Widow Longley appears in the list ; as her husband died November 29, 1680, it was made subse- quently to that date, but probably not much later.

Jonathan Morse, the eighth town clerk, was the son of Joseph and Hester (Peirce) Morse, of Watertown, where he was born November 7, 1643. He married, October 17, 1678, Abigail, daughter of William and Susanna Shattuck, and they had four children. He held the office of town clerk from the year 1682 inclusive until the time of his death, which occurred July 31, 1686. He was the first town clerk of Groton who signed the records with his name, though the practice was not constant with him.
