[3]A Vashti Morrell is found in Roxbury in the 1630s. Since she had a son Ezekiel Morrill and referred to Isaac Morrell of Roxbury as her “loving brother,” she was probably the widow of an unknown brother of Abraham and Isaac. Because no death records for such a person can be found in the published vital records of Massachusetts, he probably never made the journey, but rather Vashti came to the New World as a widow.
