ELIJAH MORSE, Esq.

   ELIJAH MORSE, son of Abner and Mille (Leland) Morse, was born Sept. 10, 1785,
in Medway, Mass. He graduated in 1809 from Brown University, Providence, R. I.,
and studied law with Judge Thatcher, of Thomaston, Me., and with the Hon.
Timothy Bigelow, of Boston, Mass. Having completed his legal studies he was
admitted to the Suffolk Bar, and was associated with Judge Bigelow in the
practice of his profession. He married Mary Jackson, daughter of Dr. Jackson, of
Edinburgh, Scotland, whose father was one of the Aldermen of London, England.
