1. William Morrill m. May 16, 1833, Eleanor A. Webb, of Ports- mouth, Va. They had nine children, all resident in Virginia and in Pensacola, Fla. At the age of nineteen he left Sutton and went to Milton, Mass, where he learned the business of stone cutting at the Quincy Granite Works. In 1830 he received an appointment from the government to go to Norfolk, Va , to work on the dry dock, then in process of construction at the U. S. navy-yard. He held the posi- tion of master workman till that work was completed, and remained in the government service several years afterwards. In 1843 he was appointed to superintend the construction of the dry dock in Pensacola navy-yard. This important work being completed he was then ap- pointed to superintend all the work at that navy-yard, with the title of major. He held this post till the breaking out of the war, when he retired from active business. He devoted himself much to the inter- ests of the Episcopal church, with which he was connected, and also to the interests of the Masonic lodges in the Southern states, having attained the highest honors in the order, with corresponding respon- sibilities. The records of both the church and the lodges show that he was much esteemed, and that his death was felt to be a severe loss to them.

Levi Cheney was a good scholar and a successful teacher when a young man. He was known for many years as Dea. Cheney (of the Free Will Baptist church). He was gentlemanly in manners and a careful farmer. Several years before his death he leased his mountain farm and bought a residence in the North village, where he passed the remainder of his life.
Under the head of Mastin genealogy we have inserted the state- ment that Jacob Mastin, Sr., being the possessor of two adjoining lots, settled on one of them himself, and gave the other to Peter Cheney, for the sake of having him for a neighbor. Such transfers of lots or parts of lots were not infrequently made at that early date in this town and in other places, the donor wisely calculating that the value of the land he reserved for himself would be greatly increased by having the land adjoining it cleared and cultivated. Added to this consideration was that of having a neighbor in his loneliness, on whose society and occasional assistance he could count, and personal preference, of course, had its due weight in determining his choice of the man who would be, probably, a life- long associate of his own. The arrangement seems to have con- tinued satisfactory to both parties in this case. Mr. Cheney was a neat, tidy farmer, a good neighbor, and a worthy citizen. Having lost his father when a boy he had spent several years of his early life and young manhood in the family of Thomas Wadleigh, Esq.
