MORRILL.
Hon. Hiram T.2, son of Hiram1 and Judith (Tenney) Morrill, was b. in Weare, May 22, 1815, but his parents rem. to Vermont soon after his birth ; m. June 15, 1842, Anna Maria Mason, of Boston, who d. June 4, 1875. He worked on a farm until he was of age, when he purchased the stage line from H. to Nashua; res. in H. until 1850, at the place marked "J. Woodward," when he rem. to Peterboro', and drove the stage from Peterboro' to Wilton some two years, at the end of which time he rem. to Nashua, which continued to be his home until his death, July 7, 1885. At the time he rem. to Nashua he went into the express business, operating a line from Boston to Wilton. He was extensively engaged in the express business over the Boston, Lowell & Nashua railroads and branches until 1882, when he retired from business. He served two terms in the legislature, and was elected state senator the year he died, but was not able to take his seat on account of his declining health. He was mayor of Nashua in 1862 and '63, and was known as the "war mayor." The amount of work which he did, - his wise precautions to preserve the peace and uphold the gen- eral government; his gratuitous services in hours of danger and sorrow; journeys at his own expense to the battle-field, caring for Nashua's wounded, burying her dead, and providing for widows and orphans, -are worthy to be recorded among the sacrifices and the brave deeds of the heroes who stood by the nation in the day of its peril. He was commissioner for Hillsboro' county seven consecu- tive years ; a member of Rising Sun lodge, Ancient, Free, and Ac- cepted Masons, of Meridian Sun Royal Arch Chapter, and of St. George Commandery, Knights Templars. He also received all the grades of Scottish Rite Masonry to the thirty-second degree, inclusive. He was president of the New Hampshire Banking Company, and an active citizen, who was ever ready to do his part in any enterprise to advance the interests of his city; and he gave with a lavish hand to the poor and every good cause that appealed to him. In his home he was all that the most endearing words can possibly suggest.

The above coat-of-arms is inserted by Mr. Eaton, without the historian's knowledge, as the first permanent settler was a member of this clan. We append the following description, copied from Hon. L. A. Morrison's " History of Windham," page 654 :-
"The motto, 'Pretio Prudentia Praestat,' is translated, 'Prudence precedes the prize,' or 'Prudence is better than riches.'
" Explanation of the three Moors' heads in the arms and crest. - It is asserted that an early member of the family, named Kenneth Mhoir, or More, accompanied Lord James Douglass into Spain about 1330, where they engaged with Alonzo XI to fight on the Christian side against the Moors. In a charge against the enemy, Kenneth More slew three Moors and cut off their heads, when one of the Scots exclaimed : 'One Scottish Christian More can kill three Pagan Moors'; hence the coat-of-arms, and crest, and motto."
John1 Morrison was b. near Aberdeen, Scot. ; rem. to the vicinity of Londonderry, Ire., as early as 1688. At the siege of London- derry, Gen. Conrad de Rosen, in command of the French forces, is- sued an order by which four thousand Protestants were driven under

This was done to compel the city to sur- render; but it proved ineffectual, and on July 4, 1689, after being so exposed five days, they were permitted to return to their homes.
