Nehemiah Morse
of Medina County, Ohio

©   Compiled by: Don Wright


A search of the Ohio and Michigan census records has been made but not found.   I have received information that indicates he was in Iowa, but a search of those areas have also turned up no information.

Note:  Nehemiah, wife and children are living with his wife's brother.
       This Nehemiah was the son of Nehemiah and Olive (Underwood) Morse

They, Nehemiah and his wife were sharing a home at the time.   Nehemiah and Mary also had a daughter, Maude Evelyn Veronica May Morse, born after this census. (my GGGrandmother).   She married Stephan Arnold Douglas Morris and they moved to SD.   They are buried here in Detroit cemetery, Brown County, SD.

State of Wisconsin Juneau County
On this 27th day of July, AD1869, before the undersigned authority within and for said county and state personally appeared Mrs. Sophia Sadoris, a resident of the town of Lindina, Juneau County, Wisconsin.   Whom I certify to be respectable and entitled to credit and who, being, by me, duly sworn according to law says that she resides at above stated, is 52 years of age, was well acquainted with Nehemiah Morse, deceased and with his widow and minor children and her oath says that Eva Morse, minor child of said Nehemiah and Mary S. Morse was born at the town of Summit, in the county of Juneau and state of Wisconsin on the 9th day of March AD 1861 and that her knowledge is derived from the fact that she is the Grandmother of said child, was present at it's birth and knows that the age is correctly stated. She further on oath says that she has no interest in this claim. - - - signed by Sophia Sadoris

Elizabeth Dobbs and Eliza Dobbs being by me first duly sworn in their oaths say that they have been acquainted with Mary S. Morse and her husband Nehemiah Morse up to the time of his death in the US Service. We know that the said Mary S. Morse has by her deceased husband, now living, three children named and aged as follows, to wit; Frank Morse who was born on the 4th day of June, 1887, John D. Morse, who was born on the 2nd day of Dec., 1888. Both were born in Winnebago County, Illinois. We were present at the time of birth of each. We were not present at the time Eva May Morse was born. The above are the only legitimate children of the said Mary Morse and her deceased husband now living. We know that she has not remarried since the death of her husband nor has she abandoned the support of any of the children above named nor permitted anyone for which increase is claimed to be adopted by any other person or persons as his, her or their child and that the said Nehemiah Morse left surviving him no minor children by a former marriage. We have no interest on the claim of Mary S. Morse for increase of pension.
