CHAPTER XV.

BY JUDGE C. R. MORRISON, OF MANCHESTER, N. H.

"CHARTER" SAMUEL MORISON AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

1. Explanatory. He is called "Charter" Samuel because he was one of the grantees in the Charter of Londonderry, and as a convenient designation to distinguish him from others of the same name. The consecutive numbering is by heads of families and biographical sketches. The star refers back to the consecutive number under which parents and brothers and sisters may be found. Added sections, by reference, are other sections where the same person appears again or has appeared. A figure over a name indicates the descent from Charter Samuel counting him as one. All references included in parenthesis, as (Margaret', Samuel, John2), are to Morrisons, and by the christian name only. Any intermediate parent of another name will be readily found from the star number, which in all cases refers back to the father or mother, whether a Morrison or some other name. All places are in New Hampshire unless otherwise indicated. The first one hundred and sixty-five sections are genealogical tables; but added sections refer the reader to biographical sketches where other necessary information will be found. It is believed that this arrangement will be conducive to the convenience of the reader. He will also find in added sections back references from the biographical sketches to the genealogical tables.
