REV. ABNER MORSE, A. M.

   ABNER MORSE, son of Abner and Mille (Leland) Morse, was born Sept. 5, 1793,
in Medway, now Holliston, Mass. He prepared for college, and graduated from
Brown University in the class of 1816. He preached in various places but devoted
himself somewhat to lectures and other literary work. He was a member of the New
England Historic Genealogical Society, of Boston, Mass.; and The Morse
Genealogy: or, The Genealogical Register of the Descendants of the Early
Settlers of Sherborn, Holliston, and Medway, Mass., is an enduring monument of
his industry and patience as a pioneer in genealogical research which will
perpetuate his name for generations. This volume is accounted exceedingly
valuable as a book of constant reference to those engaged in tracing genealogy.

   The Rev. Mr. Morse married twice, and had by his second wife four children.
One of these is the Hon. Elijah Adams Morse, of Canton, Mass. The Rev. Mr. Morse
died May 16, 1865, in Sharon, Mass.
