The Maine births and christenings index, from the Smithfield town records (Somerset County, page 12), lists a Milton Morrill, son of Peaslee Morrill, born 11 September 1819 at Smithfield. His age at the 1850 census (29) and at his death in 1892 (71) fit a birth in 1820, the year given by the memorial and carried here, so the index entry may record a year differently kept, or an older brother of the same name; the Smithfield and Belgrade town records would settle it.[11]
NOTE: Needs independent verification: the birth and death of Milton Maxwell Morrill rest on Find a Grave Index and Find a Grave memorial (secondary information) alone and have not yet been confirmed by a second source.
