Biography

Samuel, was born on 21 December 1787 at Kempshott, Hampshire, to a woman referred to only as Anne [surname unknown]. The child supposedly died one day later but this is contradicted by the 1795 Codicil to Morley's Will where Samuel is specifically named.

"I have laid out and expounded for each of my two natural Sons named Samuel and Henry a larger Sum of money than I therein bequeathed to them respectively [?] I do hereby revoke and annul the Legacies which I bequeathed in my said Will and Testament to my said natural Sons named Samuel and Henry. I do hereby [***] this to be a codicil to my said Will and Testament and direct that it shall be taken as part thereof and in all other respects I hereby confirm my said Will and Testament In Witness whereof I have written this codicil with my own hand and hereunto set my hand and seal on board the Ship Taunton Castle commanded by Captain Edward Studd this twenty eighth day of May in the year of our Lord one Thousand seven hundred and ninety five [signed] James Morley (LS) James Morley Will Prob 11/1304 ff.64a-64b.
