Biography

While it does not appear that he emigrated by 1640, WikiTree's PGM project is protecting and tracking him because of others with the same name (who did migrate by 1640) sometimes being confused with each other.

M,

I added some sources from Great Migration Directory that may aid you in your search for the birth date.

Wondering if the birth date estimate is a little early for James and wife Elinor. Born in 1605 with children baptized in the 1660's doesn't quite work. I looked at the death record for James and no age was mentioned.

Walter Morse is actually Walter Mory of Milton, Massachusetts. Additionally there is a ten day difference between Julian date and Gregorian dates during this period. If the date is a julian date then add ten days.
