(VII) Nathaniel (3), second son of Na- thaniel (2) and Sarah (Pride) Wilson, was born June 22, 1797, at what is known as Pop- lar Ridge in Falmouth, about eight miles from the site of the residence of his ancestor who first settled in Falmouth, and died in 1870. Nathaniel (3) Wilson married, January 9, 1817, Elizabeth, born February 7, 1793, died 1869, daughter of Elisha and Temperance (Ham) Baker, of Brunswick. Children : Leonard, Russell, Olive, Sophronia, Luther, John W., Nathaniel B., Mahaly, Elizabeth H. and Sarah P.

(VIII) Nathaniel (4) Baker, fifth son of Nathaniel (3) and Elizabeth ( Baker) Wilson, was born on the ancestral homestead, July 25, 1827, died in Cumberland, June 26, 1896. He was a carpenter by trade but resided on the old homestead, which he cultivated and in- creased in size until it was one of the largest and best cultivated farms in that section. He was of a retiring and unassertive disposition, never sought or held a public office, but was highly respected in the community for honesty and integrity. He served as a private in Com- pany B, of the Twenty-fifth Maine Volunteer Infantry, in the civil war, from September 30, 1862, to July 17, 1863, and was stationed on Arlington Heights near Washington, where it did guard duty and constructed fortifications until about April 1, when it removed to the vicinity of Chantilly and picketed the country during the remainder of its period of service. See "Maine in the War," pp. 423-26. The last thirteen years of his life he resided at West Cumberland, where he was a trader. Both he and his wife were leaders in the Methodist church, and their house was a stopping place for all the presiding elders and ministers of that faith in their travels over that circuit. Their house was famed for its generous hos- pitality among the relatives of the family, and one who has a clear recollection of their home in those days has written: "It seems to me as I look back on my childhood that on every pleasant Sunday one or more of the numerous aunts, uncles, or cousins from Portland and the surrounding towns was seated at their table which was abundantly supplied." Na- thaniel B. Wilson married, November 7, 1850.

Loemma Pearson, born in Cumberland, May 15, 1831, daughter of Moses and Hannah (Pierson) Leighton, of Cumberland. (See Leighton.) Mrs. Wilson was always a dis- penser of alms among the needy and is to-day, at the age of seventy-six, more concerned in doing for others than for her own welfare. Sickness among her neighbors has generally found her at the bedside of the sufferer. With a mind always peculiarly active and receptive of outside impressions, she still retains a keen interest in the world at large and takes pleas- ure in out-of-door works in her garden and among her domestic animals. Children : George N., Alnah L., Orman H., Herman M. and Scott.

(IX) Scott, youngest of the five children of Nathaniel B. (4) and Loemma P. (Leighton) Wilson, was born in Falmouth, January II, 1870. He attended the district schools until he was fifteen years of age, and then entered the Greeley Institute at Cumberland, where he attended one year. The two following years he spent at the Nichols Latin School in Lewis- ton, where he prepared for college. In 1888 he entered Bates College, from which he grad- uated with honors in the class of 1892. A part of his expenses in college were paid with money obtained by teaching at intervals during his course. After receiving his diploma he began the study of law in the office of Sy- monds, Snow & Cook, of Portland. At the end of the summer he became a teacher in the College grammar school at Haverford, Penn- sylvania, where he taught two years, employ- ing his vacations in reading law in the office in Portland, except a part of the second year, when he studied in the office of Henry C. Terry, in Philadelphia. During the second year of his stay in Philadelphia he attended the law school of the University of Pennsylvania and completed his law studies in the office of Symonds, Snow & Cook and was admitted to the bar in April, 1895. In the same year he opened an office and entered upon the prac- tice of his profession. From 1900 lie has been associated in business with Eugene L. Bodge. In 1898, before Deering became a part of Portland, he was elected city solicitor of Deer- ing and filled that position one year. In March, 1899, he was elected to the common council of Portland, and the following year was president of that body. In 1901-02 he was assistant county attorney of Cumberland coun- ty, and in 1903-04-05 was city solicitor of Portland. Mr. Wilson is a Republican and active and energetic in the advancement of the measures of his party. He is also a good

citizen and a successful lawyer, and as a re- ward for services to his party and in recogni- tion of his professional ability these places have been given to him. For ten years he has been attorney for and a director of the Deer- ing Loan & Building Association. He is a director of the Fidelity Trust Company, and of the Maine Insurance Company, and a mem- ber of the board of overseers of Bates Col- lege, and was president of the hoard in 1905- 06. He is a member of the Portland, the Deering, the Lincoln and the Economic clubs, but not of any secret or fraternal orders. He married, in Windham, December 24, 1895, Elizabeth M., born in Windham, April 1, 1871, daughter of John Jackson and Martha Maria (Webb) Bodge, of Windham. They have one child, Nathaniel Webb, born June 29, 1900.

The genealogist tells us that the MORSE name Morse has been changed from De-Mors to Mors, the pre-

fix "de" being gradually dropped by English usage, and the final e added, giving the pres- ent form of the name Morse. The surname Morse claims high antiquity. It occurs in England as early as A. D. 1358, in the reign of Edward III, when Hugo de Mors is men- tioned, and was known as early as 1200. The names of Anthony Morse, William Morse, Jo- seph Morse and Samuel Morse appear in the New England records at an early date. Will- iam and Anthony, of Newbury, Essex county, Massachusetts, were brothers; and Joseph, of Ipswich, Essex county, and Samuel, of Ded- ham, Norfolk county, were also brothers, but the degree of relationship between the first two and the second two is not known.

(1) Anthony Morse sailed with his brother William from Southampton, England, in the ship "James," 1635, and reached Boston, Mas- sachusetts, June 3 following. He was made a freeman of the colony of Massachusetts Bav, May 25, 1636, and settled in Newbury, where he died October 12, 1686. He is spoken of as of Marlborough, England, and that was probably a place of his residence, but there is no evidence that he was born there. His will. was made April 28, 1680, and the inventory of his estate was returned November 23, 1686, by his youngest son Joshua, who was exec- utor of the will. This will was filed in the Essex county probate court, but not recorded, and is still extant. He married ( first) Mary , and ( second ) Anne - -; the latter died in Newbury, March 9, 1679. The chil- dren of Anthony were : Robert, Peter, Joseph, Anthony, Benjamin, Sarah, Hannah, Lydia

(died young), Lydia, Mary, Esther and Joshua.

(II) Joseph, third son of Anthony Morse, was of Newbury, where he died January 15, 1686. He died before his father, in whose will the children of Joseph are referred to, but not by name. He died intestate, and his estate was administered upon February, 1688, by his widow Mary, and it seems that at the time of his death Joseph was of the island of Pisca- taqua, where he may have lived from an early period, as no records of the birth of any of his children are found in Newbury or in Es- sex county. Children of Joseph and Mary were: Benjamin, Joseph, Joshua, Sarah and Mary.

(III) Joseph (2), second son of Joseph ( I) and Mary Morse, was born about 1673. He was one of the constituent members of the Third Church of Newbury, 1726, and was chosen member of the "Monthly Society" of that church, December 7, 1727. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John and Mary ( Tit- comb) Poor, of Newbury. Children : Joseph, Daniel, John, Mary, Elizabeth, Judith, Ed- mund, Jonathan, Enoch and Sarah.

(IV) Daniel, second son of Joseph (2) and Elizabeth (Poor) Morse, was born in New- bury, March 8, 1695. He was a resident of Newbury, and had children born there. March 26, 1723, Daniel Morse was one of six men appointed "to look after the boys on Sabbath dayes and to give notice of their misdemeanors to their masters or parents." He married, 1727, Sarah Swain, of Reading: children : Joshua, Sarah, Daniel and Elizabeth.

(\') Daniel (2), third son of Daniel ( I) and Sarah (Swain) Morse, was born in New- bury, and baptized in the Third Church of Newbury, now Newburyport, February 25, 1733. He was a carpenter, and built the first frame house in Bath, Maine. He probably removed to Georgetown, Maine, before 1750. He died about 1790, and was buried in the southern part of Phippsburg. He was a man of great piety, and highly esteemed in church circles. He married Widow Margaret Crane, whose husband was killed by the Indians at Topsham, Maine. Her maiden name was Mc- Neil. Children of Daniel and Margaret were : Daniel, David, Jonathan and Margaret.

(VI) Jonathan, third son of Daniel (2) and Margaret (McNeil) ( Crane) Morse, was born at Phippsburg, Maine, July 7, 1755, and died July, 1836. He was a resident of Phipps- burg. He married, about 1778, Sarah Wy- man, born February 4, 1760, died October 9, 1849, a sister of Mary Wyman, who married

Jonathan's brother Daniel, and was daughter of Francis and Sarah ( Bliphen or Blethen ) Wyman. This Francis Wyman was son of Francis and Jane ( Poineroy) Wyman, of Georgetown, North Yarmouth and Phipps- burg, Maine, the son of William and Prudence, the daughter of Thomas Putnam, of Salem, Massachusetts. William Wyman was of Wo- burn, Massachusetts, son of Francis and Abi- gail (Read) Wyman, Francis being the orig- inal settler at Woburn in 1640, his descent being traced from Francis Wyman, of West- mill, county of Hertford, England. The chil- dren of Jonathan and Sarah were: William, Frances, Richard, Jonathan, Esedas, Frank, David, Wyman.

(VII) Wyman, youngest child of Jonathan and Sarah (Wyman) Morse, was born in Phippsburg, Maine, June 8, 1801, and died at Bath, Maine, August 6, 1844.

Benjamin W., then aged eighteen years, was given charge of the "Bel- lingham," the first tow-boat on the Kennebec, of which his father was commander. From this small beginning he built up the largest tow-boat line on the Atlantic coast, known as "The Knickerbocker," owning tow-boats, of which he was president at the time of his death, and had served in that capacity for some years previous. In addition to this suc- cessful enterprise, he was the principal head of the firm of B. W. & H. F. Morse, exten- sively engaged in the gathering of ice at Bath, Maine, and along the coast ; manager of one of the most extensive fleets of coasting ves- sels; director of Lincoln Bank; member of Board of Trade.

PAUL There is much confusion attending the American ancestry of the Pauls of New England. We have Ben- jamin in New Haven, 1639; Benjamin in Salem, 1647; Daniel, New Haven, 1643 ; Dan- iel, Kittery, 1652; Edmund, of Taunton, and John, of Freetown, sons of William, of Taun- ton ; John, of Malden, who married Lydia Jen- kins, May 3, 1657, and they had a John born August 25, 1658, and other complicated

puzzles to be solved by genealogist researchers. A Richard came from England to Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, in 1635, served as a soldier in the fort of that town, and was one of the original proprietors of Cohannet (Taunton) in 1637. He may have been a brother of Daniel, Boston, 1640.

(I) Daniel Paul, the Ipswich immigrant, came from Ipswich, England, to Massachu- setts Bay Colony, before 1640. and his name appears on the records of the town of Boston under date of August 26, 1640. He removed with his wife, Elizabeth, to Ipswich, Norfolk county, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and in 1648 bought a house and land on the Piscata- qua river, Kittery, from John Andrews, who was the first settler of the new town. The next year Daniel Paul enlarged his estate by the purchase of a house and lot of land ad- joining his original purchase. He received title to the second purchase from Richard Cutts, the house at the time of the purchase being occupied by Stephen Sanborn, who va- cated it and removed to Hampton. Daniel Paul signed the oath of submission to the government of Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1652, and he received title from the general court to his first two purchases made in 1650 and 1655. In 1659 he joined his wife, Eliza- beth, in giving a mortgage to Richard Cutts of their holding of sixty-six acres of land : "Above ye boiling rock between Gabriel Tether on the south and Joseph Alcock on the north," and apparently with money so obtained, he purchased a grant of land "in the great cove below the boiling rock," and he sold his prop- erty to John Sloper, February 14, 1679, ac- cording to a deed recorded in the record book II., 33. in Concord, New Hampshire. In 1672 he gave title to his original homestead to his son. Stephen, "in consideration of a marriage forthwith to be solemnized." This marriage was made that year, with the contracting par- ties : Stephen, son of Daniel Paul, and Kath- erine, daughter of Antipas Maverick. The home of Antipas Maverick was up the river above the homestead of Daniel Paul. We find that Daniel Paul, the immigrant, served on the grand jury and was a man of importance and standing in the town of Kittery. He was a ship-builder by trade and occupation, and his yards at Kittery were the scene of much ac- tivity, and he launched from his vards num- bers of coasting vessels to meet the demands of the growing trade of the colonies between the various Atlantic ports.

(II) Stephen, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Paul, was, like his father, a ship-builder, he

having spent his boyhood and youthful years in the business of ship-building. He was mar- ried after 1672 to Katherine, daughter of An- tipas Maverick, the contracting parties having been neighbors and the two families on fa- miliar terms of friendship and respect. An- tipas Maverick was a brother of Moses Maver- ick, of Marblehead, and probably Samuel Mav- erick, of Noddle Island, Boston Harbor (after- wards known as East Boston), was another brother. If this was so, the three were sons of the Rev. John Maverick, the first minister of the First Church, of Dorchester. Antipas Maverick was residing at the Isle of Shoals in 1649, and he signed the oath of submission to the government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1652, and was licensed to keep an ordinary there in 1659. He died in 1678, and the administration of his estate was granted to Stephen Paul (his son-in-law) and John Gil- man, of Exeter, April 24, 1682. Stephen Paul died in Kittery about 1695, and his widow was still living in 1706. The children of Stephen and Katherine (Maverick) Paul were: I. Elizabeth, born in the Paul homestead, Kit- tery, married in 1695 to John Thompson. 2. Susanna, married, October 12, 1699, Samuel Fernald. 3. Daniel (q. v.) 4. John, married Margaret Tobey. 5. Moses, who had a wife, Abigail, in 1701, and may have married as his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob Remick, at a much later date, as her father named in his will grandchildren Joseph and Mary Paul, who were baptized in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, August 8. 1707. Moses Paul was a taxpayer in Portsmouth, 1720-27, and his widow administered his estate in 1731. 6. Abigail, who probably married John Skri- gins.

(III) Daniel (2), eldest son of Stephen ( I) and Katherine ( Maverick ) Paul, was married on March 30, 1701, to Sarah Bragdon, and they occupied half of the homestead on Long Read road, Kittery, in 1731. Their children were: I. Abigail, born February 16, 1701-02, married John Lydston, April 5, 1722. 2. Dan- iel, born February 16, 1703, married Lydia Goodwin, of Dover, and had children: Su- sanna, Daniel and Eunice. 3. Josiah, born April 28, 1708, mentioned below. 4. Jere- miah, born November 11, 1709, married Han- nah Hamilton. 5. Samuel, born April 30, 1711, married Hannah Kingsbury, of York, Decem- ber 10, 1761. 6. Joseph, born March 11, 1715- 16, died March 26, of the same year. 7. Ste- phen (q. v.). 8. John, born April 7, 1724, was living in 1731.

(IV) Stephen (2), son of Daniel (2) and

Sarah (Bragdon) Paul, was born in Kittery, June 27, 1718. He married Mary -, and the following of their children appear in the baptismal records of the church in Kittery: I. Stephen, baptized December 5, 1742, mar- ried Bethsheba Weare. 2. Mary, baptized in February, 1744. 3. Abigail, baptized April 12, 1747, married Timothy Spinney, October 31, 1765. 4. James (q. v.). 5: William, bap- tized April 21, 1751, married Esther Fernald. 6. Moses, baptized June 18, 1752, married Jane Tucker, November 17, 1779.

(VII) Howard, son of Stephen (3) Paul, born in Durham, New Hampshire, 1808, died in Kittery, Maine, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of his native town. He was apprenticed to the trade of carpenter, joiner and ship-builder, and worked at his trade in Durham and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and in the shipyards of Kittery, Maine, and the United States navy yards. He was a Re- publican in national and state politics, and his religious faith was that of the Methodist de- nomination. He married Dorothy Garland, born in Durham, New Hampshire, 1812, died in Kittery, Maine, 1890. The children of Howard and Dorothy (Garland) Paul were : Howard, born in Durham, New Hampshire ; Mark W. (q. v.) ; Martha J., John, James, Henry, George L., Mary C., Edwin, Susan E.

(VIII) Mark W., son of Howard and Doro- thy (Garland) Paul, was born in Durham, New Hampshire. February 20, 1834, removed to Kittery with his father and mother when quite young, and he had the advantages of the excellent schools of that place. He learned the trade of ship-carpenter with Samuel Badger, ship-builder, and was in the United States navy under the warrant accorded the office of carpenter in the United States navy, being regularly appointed to the naval service July 26, 1861. His first service was on board the United States frigate, "Roanoke," and he witnessed and took part in the battles between the Confederate ironclad "Merrimac," in Vir- ginia, and the fleet of wooden frigates of the United States navy, before relief came to them

through the heroic conduct of the commander of the iron-clad "Monitor," March 9, 1862, in Hampton Roads, Virginia. He had charge of the repairs made on all the United States gun- boats and other craft used in the sounds and rivers of North Carolina, making his head- quarters at Newbern, North Carolina, for nearly three years, 1862-65, returning to Bos- ton on board the United States steamship "Tuscarora," and he was detached and re- signed his warrant November 13, 1865. He then engaged in the grocery business in Kit- tery, Maine, selling out in 1874 to engage in the commission business in Washington Mar- ket, Boston, Massachusetts, dealing in butter, cheese and eggs, in which business he was moderately successful. He sold out in 1887, returned to Kittery, and engaged in business as a general storekeeper, and he has continued to successfully prosecute that business up to the present time. He affiliates with the Re- publican party, was made town treasurer and has held that responsible office for fourteen years. He is also treasurer of the Robert W. Traip Academy and of the Kittery Street Im- provement Society ; a member of Constitution Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Kittery, and has been master of the exchequer of that order for twelve years. He is a comrade of the John A. Andrew Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of Boston, a member of the Second Christian Church Society, and a member of the pruden- tial committee that raised the money and erected a church edifice. He was married October 29, 1854, to Mary E., daughter of Alfred W. and Temperance Walker, of Kit- tery ; his wife died July 2, 1906, aged seventy- two years, leaving no children.

(IV) Josiah, second son of Daniel (2) and Sarah (Bragdon) Paul, was born April 28, 1708, in Kittery, where he resided and died. He married Sarah Goodwin, and their children were : Sarah, Moses, Anne, Amy and Daniel.

(V) Moses, eldest son of Josiah and Sarah (Goodwin) Paul, was born March 17, 1732, in Kittery, and resided in Somersworth, New Hampshire, where he died February 26, 1773. He married Abigail Mason, and they were the parents of three sons: Benjamin, Josiah and Daniel. There were probably other chil- dren, but no record gives them.

(VI) Daniel (3), third son of Moses and Abigail (Mason) Paul, was born in February, 1760, in Somersworth, New Hampshire, and died in 1825, in Buxton, Maine. About 1795 he removed from Somersworth to Gorham, Naine, and some eleven years later settled in Buxton, where he lived on a larger farm and

(VII) William, only known son of Daniel (3) and Dorothy (Wells) Paul, was born in 1788, in Somersworth, New Hampshire, and died April 2, 1843, in Buxton, where most of his life was spent. He was among the first students of the Gorham Academy, which was built about 1800. He was actively connected with no church, but was an carnest student of the Bible and a most exemplary citizen. He was married (first) to Isabel Thomas, of Fal- mouth, Maine, who lived but a short time and left one daughter, Isabella, who married Israel Jacobs, of Saco, Maine, and died January IO, 1892.
