MORRILL.
Prepared by Luther Morrill Cody of Canterbury.
There are five lines of descendants from the sons of Ezekiel Morrill, the pioneer in C. The issue of his daus., where known, appear in other genealo- gies. Owing to the number of descendants of some of these sons, they are grouped by families instead of by generations, the descendants of the first son, David, being traced to the present time before considering the line orig- inating with the second son. As the Morrills, whose ancestors originated in C., seldom intermarried, and are widely scattered, it is thought that the grouping by families will be more convenient and satisfactory to the living descendants than to trace them by generations.
Probably all the Morrills of N. E. and thousands more of N. E. ancestry, scattered through the U. S. are descended from Abraham Morrill, who came to America with his brother, Isaac, in 1632-33. The latter's name is on the register of the ship Lion arriving 6 Sept., 1632, but Abraham's does not appear. He is known, however, to have been in Cambridge, Mass., in 1632-33, where they both settled. In 1635, Abraham owned a house lot on what is now Harvard Square, "near the old Potter tavern." Abraham and Isaac belonged to the Honorable Artillery Company the year of its charter. Isaac early removed to Roxbury, where he d., leaving six daus., his sons having all d. young.
In 1641, Abraham was granted a house lot in Salisbury, Mass., where he settled as an original proprietor. He is recorded as a "planter, millwright and iron founder." Only four men were taxed more than he in 1650. The date of his birth is not known, but Isaac was b. in Eng., in 1588. Abraham d. in Roxbury, Mass., 18 Oct., 1662, while on a visit to his brother, Isaac.

She m. second, Thomas Mud- gett, a shipwright of Salisbury. They had two daus., Mary, b. 30 April, 1667, and Temperance, b. 10 Oct., 1670.

Ezekiel was the pioneer Morrill in C. April 19, 1743, he bought house lots 116 and 118, and the whole right of home lot 117. These lots included what is now the cemetery at the Center and the Parsonage lot. March 9, 1745, he bought house lot 115.
In the spring of 1750, Dea. Morrill moved his family to C., and set- tled on the hill where James Frame now lives. The old part of Mr. Frame's house must have been built by Dea. Morrill or by his son, Masten. The place remained in the family until 1843, when the widow of Ezekiel, son of Masten, sold it to Ebenezer Batchelder. Dea. Morrill took a leading part in town affairs, being frequently elected to important offices and to positions of trust. Children by his first marriage:
