The Morrell Cemetery Restoration Project - Eliot, Maine

The Morrell Cemetery Restoration Project - Eliot, Maine
Spring/Summer 2012

The Morrell Cemetery is located just west of River Road in Eliot, Maine on Old Cottage Lane ... This cemetery for generations was in the Morrell Family until their land was sold and since then the cemetery has been greatly neglected … Today, I visited the cemetery to photographs its current condition and to locate some of the gravestone that are still standing and legible …

Through today’s photographs you will see that at one time The Morrell Cemetery was a beautiful place, elaborate iron fencing, corner posts and gates which over time have fallen to the ground and are in great need of repair and restoration … Most of the stones are made of white limestone are are still somewhat standing but several have broken or split and are laying face down on the ground … A simple clean-up of the leaves and underbrush this Spring may help in locating a few people who seem to be missing from this family cemetery …

REVISED (June/2012) All headstones have been located ...

From the book Eliot (Maine) Record Book privately researched and printed by John F. Frost in 1970, he provides a list of the inhabitants of this Morrell Cemetery … We greatly appreciate the work that he has done on the Morrell Cemeteries …

The Dow Family of New England

Henry Dow    (Generation 1, America)
son of Henry Dow and Elizabeth March/Marche (GC)
grandson of Christopher Marche and Frances AtFenne (GC)
Henry Dow came to this country from England in 1637 with his wife and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. After his first wife’s death he married Margaret Cole of Dedham, Massachusetts in 1641 and moved to Hampton, New Hampshire around 1643/1644. (NEG)

He was a Selectman and a Deputy to the Court. (GC)

Henry Dow was the immigrant ancestor to America, he was twenty-five and a farmer in Ormsby, England.  He had a little inheritance from his mother, more than enough to equip his holding of land.  Ormsby, England is not far from Runham.  Its parish register was copied in 1880 by Reverend R.S. Blofield, Rector.  In these records occurs three important items, which prove that Henry was born in 1606 of Runham is Henry of Ormsby and America.  It is clear that the brother Edward and Henry Dow were together as husbandmen in Ormsby, that each found a wife there, that the ties of Runham gradually were loosened as ties to Ormsby grew strong.  What happened to Edward we have not traced.  Of Henry Dow’s path, the account is fairly ample.  Of Joan Nudd we know but very little; not her maiden name.  She was twenty-three at her marriage and had a baby boy.  Her husband was Roger Nudd, son of John Nudd who died in Ormsby in 1629.  It is believed that Henry Dow and Roger Nudd were fellow farmers.  The Nudds were numerous in Norfolk, mostly in the Seaward Parish.  Vital records from that parish are not existent prior to 1671. 

Under what circumstances Henry and Joan Dow became dissenter is not known.  They were of the established Church in 1630.  There arose in Ormsby a great deal of dissatisfaction, religious and otherwise.  This crystallized into a determination of seven families to try the New World.   It was an arrangement planned long in advance and was consummated, on the same boat.  Hotten’s Original List gives all the families, who afterwards appear together in Hampton, New Hampshire (Page, Moulton, Marston) families intermarried with the Dow’s on numerous occasions with great frequency.  It has been asserted, with more or less cynicism that a desire to better ones material condition was the paramount reason for going to America, desire for religious freedom being very secondary.  In the Massachusetts Bay Colony all were of the persuasion which became Congregationalism, in contrast to that of the Plymouth Colony who notion of government became Presbyterianism.

Henry Dow of Ormsby, England married the widow of his friend, a year older than himself, took her baby boy and had three children of his own and was able to start with a servant.  This latter does not indicate affluence.  Passage to America was very costly.  Young men and women of good families gladly indentured themselves for a long term if the employer would pay their passage.  It was in this way that Margaret Cole, who became Henry Dow’s second wife came to Dedham, Massachusetts with the family of Mitchill/Mitchell Metcalfe.

From Henry Dow are descended nearly three-fifth of all the Dows in America.  The party landed in Boston after a long voyage, no details of which appear.  One child either died on voyage or on land before Watertown statistics began.  How and why Henry Dow parted from his companions we do not know.  All but he turned up in 1640 in Hampton, New Hampshire.   Henry proceeded almost at once to Watertown, Massachusetts, which was just being settled just five miles west of Boston, Massachusetts.  Presumably the selection of the place was influenced by the opportunity to become a grantee on equal terms, with allotments of free land.  No settler in those days had to buy land unless it was thought desirable to pay the Indians for title.  He remained seven years in Watertown, Massachusetts, a very inconspicuous citizen.  He was admitted a freeman on May 2, 1638, but held no office in his town.  In fact, the only mention of him in Watertown are in the land records and vital statistics.  He could have had free land in Hampton, New Hampshire in 1640, but decided not to accept it.  There is reason to think that he stayed in Watertown until the land boomed.  In a few years the settled place commanded a price at which the original settlers took profits and moved on to begin anew and clear forest lands.  We know that Henry Dow left Watertown, Massachusetts a moderate capitalist.

Henry Dow’s son, Joseph Dow was the first Dow to be born in America, whose posterity is the most numerous.  With the death of his older brother, the death of his mother at thirty-three, twice a wife, five times a mother, the birth of two new children following his father’s speedy remarriage.  We must not accuse Henry Dow of indelicacy.  In primitive New England life for a man without a wife’s help was harder indeed; for a woman without help from a husband even harder yet; for children without both parents almost unsupportable.  Margaret Cole had known Henry Dow in Ormsby, England, had come to America in 1639 with the Metcalfe Family and settled in Dedham, Massachusetts.  She was indentured, just as Ann Manning had been and was younger than Henry Dow.  In the First Church of Dedham, Margaret Cole, a maid servant, giving good satisfaction to the Church was received in March 1639.  Others from Ormsby were admitted to the Church around the same time.  Margaret survived her husband by sixteen years.  Her second marriage was to Richard Kimball of Ipswich, he was of Watertown, Massachusetts 1641-1644 and came then to know the Dows.
