NOTE: A bare entry for William Morrell (ABT 1775, no parents or death recorded, father of record on a family with two children) was combined with this record. Both are the same man: the stub family’s two children (John b. 1801, Adrian/Adriana b. 1803) are the identical pair, with the same birth years, as this record’s own children John W. and Adriana; no other William Morrell in the tree born 1770-1780 in Newtown has any children matching either name or year. The stub carried no source for its ABT 1775 estimate, so this record’s precise, sourced 12 Apr 1772 christening date is kept. The stub appears to have been created inadvertently during an earlier search of the Newtown Presbyterian church register instead of being linked to this person.
