Surnames: Morse Dobbs Classification: Pension Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UN2.2ACIB/1194 Message Board Post: 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 claimedto 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.
