This death certificate gives the mother’s maiden name as ‘Mary Brown’, conflicting with the tree’s recorded mother, Mary Littlefield. Possibly an unrecorded remarriage of Mary Littlefield to a Brown after Charles O. Morrill’s 1874 death; unresolved, flagged as a separate lead, not chased to date.^[10]

Born: 04 FEB 1857^[11] · Newburyport, Mass.
