Case 15504: John Mors 1702.
[Note: there are two files for John Mors 1702. Case 15503 is for another man, since a bond is posted by a widow Sarah on 1 Jun 1702 to administer on her husband's estate, i.e., before this John Morse died. However, the confusion engendered by this causes Source:Morse, J. Howard. Morse Genealogy : Comprising the Descendants of Samuel, Anthony, William and Joseph Morse and John Moss : Being a Revision of the, p. 8, to assert that John Morse had remarried. Despite what is represented in that source, Sarah is only identified in her bond as the widow of John Morse husbandman, not of Deacon John Morse. There are no further documents in that file.]

- ↑ Bond, p. 372, gives John a first wife, Anne Smith, with two children: Lydia b. 1660 and John b. 1662. The same marriage is listed in Torrey. It is confusion with Family:John Moore and Anne Smith (1), who, according to Lancaster records, not only had the two children Bond discusses (who are recorded under surname "More"), but many more, the first births too early for this man born in 1639 to be their father (1655 when he would have been 16) and the last several overlapped the marriage with Abigail Stearns (1666, 1669, 1671), proving it is a different couple. Source:Morse, J. Howard. Morse Genealogy : Comprising the Descendants of Samuel, Anthony, William and Joseph Morse and John Moss : Being a Revision of the, p. 8, recognized that Anne Smith married John Moore, but still insists on giving the two Lancaster children to John Morse, manufacturing a fictitious first wife to account for them. They are both said to have died young, because, since they belonged to another family, there is no later evidence of them in this family.
