The Morrell Family of New England

John Morrell (Generation 1)
PLEASE NOTE: Additional information and references need to be added ...

John Morrell, born in 1640 as shown by a Deposition, Land Grant in 1668. He was a mason.  In 1676 he settled at "Cold Harbor," in what is now known as Eliot, Maine.  He married, before 1667, Sarah, dau. of Nicholas and Elizabeth ________Hodsdon.   He was living in 1720.  He was licensed to keep a ferry and house of entertainment in  1686. REFERENCE: Old Kittery and Her Families,  Author: E. S. Stackpole Publication: 190,  Page 619.

John Morrell is found in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1661, about four years before his marriage in Kittery. "Acting under this law [for avoiding the settlement of poor people], the Selectmen [of Ipswich] made complaint to the Ipswich Court in March 1661, that they had notified Daniel Grazier and John Morrill, Irishmen, that they were not willing to have them as inhabitants and they had not removed." We don't know of any other John Morrell in New England at this time, the only other family of this surname is Abraham Morrill of Salisbury, so it is highly likely that this is our John Morrell of Kittery. In addition, 1661 aligns well with the first mention of John in Kittery, which was in 1663, occupation "plasterer." This is the first clue we have as to the nationality of John Morrell, as it seems at least some folks in Ipswich believed he was of Ireland. REFERENCE: Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Thomas Franklin Waters (Ipswich MA: Ipswich Hist. Soc., 1917)

John Morrell was born in 1640 and married Sarah Hodson (daughter of Nicholos of Kittery) in 1674 father-in-law deeded him Birch Point, part of his homestead, reserving right to water from the spring, which still furnishes an abundant supply of excellent water. Birch Point is in the town of South Berwick Maine and near a bridge that spans the river at that place.  Two years later John Morrell sold land to Abram Conley and bought a farm at “Coole Harbor” in present town of Elliot which was in the family until 1932.  It burned to the ground the next year.   He was licensed to conduct a ferry and keep a place of entertainment – one of the first taverns in this state. He was the first to embrace the Friends Religion (Quakers) which many of his descendants embrace to present time. There is little doubt that many a Quaker fleeing from persecution in Boston was carried on the Morrell ferry to safety “down east”.   John Morrell Jr. lived on part of the old homestead and was also a large landowner in the present town of North Berwick. He was a slave owner and a man of wealth and prominence in town. The Morrell’s, Winslow’s, Lowe’s, Peasley’s and Pope’s were all Quakers down to grandfather Paschal Pope Morrell who became a Methodist Minister. He was later a chaplain in the Civil War.  The first Quakers to arrive in America were viewed as dangerous heretics in many of the colonies. They were deported as Witches, imprisoned or hung.  REFERENCE: History of the Morrell Family (Online Record)

He came to Springfield in 1772, with his wife and ten children. He bought of Timothy Spencer lot No. 2, and of Colonel John Barrett lot No. 20, the latter including the site of the present village. He built a log cabin near the falls, and soon later a sawmill. Later he built a block house near where the late George W. Porter's residence stands. He and his sons cleared up the land, sawed lumber for buildings, and erected a gristmill on the west side of the river. Afterward he sold one half interest in the mills to his son Henry, and bought land on the east side of the river, now owned by W.H.H. Putnam, including the present cemetery ground, which he deeded to the town in 1793; it stood on the other side of the road, and was moved to its present site.   He was a member of the Free Will Baptist church and active in its organization. He was an enterprising, industrious and honest man, and to him and his descendants, Springfield owes no small part of its early and later prosperity. (History of the town of Springfield, Vermont)
