t The house of William Morse was noted for the disturbances there in 1679, attributed to witchcraft. His wife Elizabeth was tried and convicted of witch- craft in 1680, but not executed, through "the goodness of the honored Gov- ernor," 1681. [See Upham's "Salem Witchcraft," vol. 1, pp. 438-453; also CNb. and Morse Memorial.]
# The Morse Memorial gives also Edmund,2 b. ab. 1656, but states that there is no evidence that he was son of Win.1 Son Edmund3 bp. Feb. 24, 1677-8 at Nb .; neither ment. in will of Wm.,1 1683.
NOTE .- There was a Joseph Morse of Ipswich, will 1646, wife Dorothy and son John; also Samuel Morse of Dedham, who left numerous descendants, given in the "Memorial of the Family of Morse," compiled by H. D. Lord, 1896. Some facts and dates not otherwise credited have been taken from that volume.

I - Mudget d. May, 1063[S]. Name also spelled Mugat, Muggitt, Mug- hitt, on the records. The name Mudgett is one of the first in the early his- tory of Brentwood, N. H. There were Madgetts in Gloucester ab. 1725-35.
T Papers are on record showing arbitration between Thomas Mudgett and Thomas Barnard respecting certain mills on the Powow, 1688 to 1697, wiel: Thomas Mudgett seems to have sold two-thirds of a corn-mill or grist-mill, two-thirds of a fulling-mill, and one-half of a saw-mill.
