Researching two women named Mary MORSE who married men named HIXON/HIXSON, early 1700s Mass. I have: Ezra MORSE, son of Ezra3 (John2, Samuel1) and Joanna (Hoare) Morse, was born in Dedham (Mass.) January 28, 1671, d. 17 Oct 1760 Mass. He m. Mary ---- Ch: (1) Ezra MORSE b. 12 Nov 1694 Dedham, Mass., d. 23 Dec 1789 Mass. m. Anna WHITE Ch: Mary MORSE b. 5 May 1723 Dedham, Mass., d. after 1768 m. John HIXON (2) Mary MORSE b. 8 Apr 1710 Dedham or Walpole, Mass., d. aft 1760 m. Walter HIXSON If this is true, Mary b. 1723 was the niece of Mary b. 1710. John HIXON was the nephew of Walter HIXSON. Can anyone confirm the parents and birth date of Mary b. 1723? The 1886 book of Dedham records says "Keziah and Mary, daughters of Ezra and Ann Mars, were born May 5th, 1723." The index has no entries for MARS but does not list Ezra MORSE on this page. I suspect that the surname was actually MORSE. Thank you! (Using Heritage Quest "Search Books" feature to find the book of records. Very handy.) Carol Botteron <botteron@alum.mit.edu> researching Hixson/Hixon of New England...let's share!
