Now we apparently have another mystery. No mention is made of the death of Ann Cox Morss, the first wife of Anthony Morse, Sr. Richard Morse was born in December of 1635, and the family sailed from London in April of 1635. So Ann Cox must have come to the New World. But in 1639, Anthony married a second woman. It is possible that Ann Cox may have suffered the same fate that so many others in the colony suffered -an early and untimely death, probably due to disease.
