In 1834 there is a probate of John Morse. He was a United Empire Loyalist, had land in Gosfield, Newark, District of Niagara and land in the County of Richfield, Ohio. The latter land was left by the last will of Benjamin Morse after the death of his wife Maria ? From the will Andrew Steinoff was a husband of Ann, John's daughter. I believe the Benjamin Morse was the brother of my Israel Morse (children of William Morse and Mary Eddy from Swansea, MA). Benjamin's certified birth 20 Nov. 1768 from Swansea. Preserved and Israel also have a certified birth date. Does any person know the last name of the Maria? John could be one of Benjamin's son as William Morse and Mary Eddy did not have a John according to my records. A Benjamin also was the signer of Mary Eddy Morse's application for a pension from William Morse applied for in Bedford, NY. To my knowledge this William is not on the DAR List. However I have a copy of the application from another source Heritage Quest) showing W17153. Supposedly my William Morse is buried in Pittstown, NY 12 Feb. 1800 and Mary Eddy Morse 1 July 1843, age 95, in St Lawrence County, NY. Any information on this family would be appreciated.
