Research Notes

The birth and death dates on Findagrave do not agree with Massachusetts records. It looks like the death date was read incorrectly from the gravestone, and then the birth date adjusted to have Mr. Morse living 62 years which is easily readable on the stone. So the birth date is skewed.
