Biography

Biographical Sketch

Quoted From the book: History and genealogy of the Earles of Secaucus pg. 275 ^[1]

Rebecca Morris Earle survived her husband a number of years.

She was living in 1772, making her home with her son, Morris. A pleasant picture of her has been left us by her grandson, the Rev. Marmaduke Sidney Earle. Writing nearly eighty years later, he says:

“I recollect the old lady well. I see her in my mind’s eye, seated in her easy chair, the picture of health and content, of benevolence and venerable old age. One incident relating to her is remembered by me with peculiar interest and clearness. When I was about three years of age (1772) and had begun to mingle with little boys in the neighborhood, in our play I used some bad language. For this I deserved correction and should have received it had not my aged grandmother interposed her good offices and thereby shielded me from punishment. The conviction of mv criminality and of the kindness of my beloved grandmother made a permanent impression on me. I never atterwards repeated the same offence.”
