needs independent verification: this citation is a death-record index entry (not a birth record) giving Jacob’s parents in its ‘Parents and Siblings’ field, age 77y3m8d at an 19 Oct 1896 death back-calculating to a birth of about 11 Jul 1819 — consistent with, and used here to fix, his existing documented birth date. His parents Joseph Morrill and Parmelia Martin are already in the tree, with 9 recorded children spanning 1802-1823. The gap in that family’s birth sequence between Lucy A. Morrill (b. 1818) and George Washington Morrill (b. 1823) fits Jacob’s documented 11 Jul 1819 birth exactly, with no existing child recorded in that slot. Death place conflict, not proposed for change: this death record gives Hopkinton as the event place, while the existing sourced tree value gives Boscawen — the existing sourced tree value is favored here and no change to death place is proposed; both are adjoining Merrimack County, NH towns.[4]
At the age of 43, Jacob M. Morrill enlisted on October 6, 1862 in Company D, Sixteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, as a private. He mustered out August 20, 1863. [5]
