THE MORRISON FAMILY.
The Morrisons of Sanbornton, like those of Londonderry, Peterbor- ongh, etc .; are probably of that noble Scotch race who had settled for conscience' sake in the North of Ireland, and were driven under the walls of Londonderry, in the famous siege of 1688-89. This accord- ing to one supposition, * and if correct,
* According to another, suggested by Hon. Charles R. Morrison, of Manchester, Daniel Morrison, of Newbury, Mass., who J. Oct. 0, 1700, and his wife Hannah, may have been the parents of John= [4], their children being:

HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
1. DAVID! Monmsoy is their earliest supposed ancestor in this country, and is traditionally said to have first come " to some of the British colonies further south than Massachusetts," but " time of land- ing unknown." We know that 6,000 of the Scoteb-Irish had landed in Pennsylvania by the year 1729, and that one stream of these * hnmi_ grants had moved into Virginia and North Carolina," of which the Jackson family ; yet the fact of this ancestor's being found in Haver- hill, Mass., would seem to imply that he may have been among those first immigrants of the same race who landed in Boston about 1718, and separated to Lauenburg, Casco Bay, and other localities. The company who thus went to Maine, not liking the country, came back to Haverhill, and the men there left their families, while they went to explore " Nutfield," afterwards Londonderry. It seems, therefore, not impossible that the said David' may have remained in Haverbill, from this company, being, perhaps, the brother of that
2. JONNI (Samuel) MORRISON, whose five sous were of the same company, and all settled in Londonderry.
3. JOUN2, b. 1678, the oldest of the five, was afterwards in Peter- borough, where he d., June 14, 1776, ae. 98 (see Smith's " History of Peterborough "). He, David' [1], also had a son,
4. JOHN2, who could not have been born in Haverhill, as some have affirmed, if his family, and the time of its coming to this country, are rightly given above, but probably in Ireland, like his supposed consin [3]. His wife, however, Lydia Robinson, may have been b. in Haverhill, and they both there lived and d., himself in 1765 or '66. For the order, names, and number of their children, we are indebted to the " Morrison Book," being a mannscript record, especially of the descendants of Bradbury [119], as also of the " Morrison meetings " (see beyond). Besides the eleven following, there was a daughter, name not given, who never married :
5. BRADBURY [16].
6. Jons, settled in Candia; had there a large family. A brauch of the Sanbornton Dearborus (Tin Corner) is said to have descended from him.
7. JONATHAN, d. young. without children.
8. DANIEL, settled in Gilmanton, and left several children, some of whose descendants may be found in Wolfeborough.

tou Morrisons, on coming to this vicinity, not so peculiar or " broad " as of the Lon- donderry families, whom he early knew in Antrim and elsewhere, and this might argue the earlier origin. But the testimony of older members of the family in San- bornton is so decisive as to the correctness of the main supposition of the text above, that we see no reason to change it. A very valuable general " History " of the Mor- rison name and family, with a " Genealogy of the Londonderry and other branches," will be found in the work ou that subject, by Leonard A. Morrison, of Wind :. am.
