Born about 1607 (deposed on 31 March 1668 "aged about sixty years;" deposed on 27 June 1674 "aged about sixty years" (this age is at odds with the other two, and should perhaps have been "about seventy"); aged 72 in 1678), son of Anthony Morse. Shoemaker from Marlborough, Wiltshire, who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "James" (on or about 5 April 1635, "Anthony Morse" and "William Morse," of "Marlborough, shoemakers," were adjacent entries in the passenger list of the James, about to set sail from Southampton for New England) & settled in Newbury MA. Died in Newbury MA, 12 October 1686.
Married at St. Mary's, Marlborough, Wiltshire, 2 May 1629, Ann Cox. "Anne, wife Anthony" Morse died at Newbury on 9 March 1679/80.
Anthony Morse was brother of WILLIAM MORSE {1635, Newbury}. On 8 November 1679, in the course of the witchcraft accusations brought by William Morse and his wife, "Anthony Mores testified that occasionally being at his brother's house he was a witness to the things which had happened there."
Savage stated that Anthony Morse was "said to have been born 9 May 1606" and to have had first wife Mary. No evidence for either of these claims has been found.
