the will of Daniel Morrison was signed 4 July 1756 and probated later that year 19 November . It named his wife Eleanor and the following children: Daniel Morrison, Nathan Littlefield Morrison, Joseph Morrison, Hannah Allen, Lydia Kimball, Abigail Max[w]ell, Mary Morrison, Tabitha Stewart, Samuel Morrison. Also named was John Royal Baston, a grandson and son of his deceased daughter Eleanor Baston. The naming of Mary Morrison is significant in that she was the only Mary of an age to have mentioned William Storer a few years after her father's death. Since she was not found in the separate baptismal listings of Morrison children and was unmarried at the time of her father's death she may have been the youngest of the children and therefore born sometime after 4 February 1739 when her sister Tabitha was baptized.
