Emily (17 Apr 1839-6 Sep 1908) — m. Joel Whitney Hinkley on 30 Apr 1854

Darius (4 Feb 1841-????)

David J. III (27 Jul 1843-22 or 27 Jul 1862)

John (12 Feb 1846-19 Feb 1849)

Charles (8 Jan 1848-1 Sep 1864)

Emma/Julia (5 Nov 1849-18 Dec 1865)

David was born in Candia, Rockingham County, New Hampshire to David Morrison, Sr. and Eleanor Lang of Candia. His family moved to Palermo, Waldo County, Maine in the early 1820s. Sometime after his father’s death in 1833, the family moved inland to Madrid, Maine.

Hannah, named for her paternal grandmother, was born in Maine to Stephen S. Lufkin from Clinton, Kennebec County and Polly Stinchfield from New Gloucester, Cumberland County.

David was a miller. He and Hannah married in the late 1830s. The 1850 census listed the family in Madrid with five children: Emily, Darius, David, Charles, and Emma. David’s mother and four of his sisters (one married) were also living in Madrid, and Hannah’s parents were living down the road in Phillips.

Hannah died in 1855 and is buried in Marrow Cemetery, Phillips, the same place as her father and her son John. David married Sophronia Reed (Dec 1819-7 Mar 1896) from Strong on 23 Mar 1857 in Phillips. They had one child:

Polly (~1858-????) — prob. died young

The 1860 census listed the family in Farmington: David (48), Sophronia (40), David J. (17), Charles (12), Julia (10), and Polly (2). I am assuming 1850’s Emma was 1860’s Julia.

David died in 1860, just over a month after his mother. He is buried with Hannah. His burial record incorrectly listed his mother, Eleanor, as his wife. Sophronia married Almon Butterfield the following year, and died in 1896 in Rumford, Oxford County, Maine.

Children

Emily Morrison (1839-1908)

Emily has her own entry in the family tree.

Darius Morrison (1841-????)

Darius, named for an uncle who died as a child, was not with the family in 1860. Can’t find any further record of him.

David J. Morrison III (1843-1862)

David, described as 5'8" tall, brown hair, blue eyes, enlisted in the 11th Maine Infantry, Company A in 1861. He was severely wounded on 31 May 1862 in the Battle of Seven Pines at Fair Oaks, Henrico County, Virginia (not the Fair Oaks in Fairfax County), and died almost two months later. He is buried in the US Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery in Washington, DC.

John Morrison (1846-1849)

John died in 1849, and is buried in Marrow Cemetery with his parents.

Charles Morrison (1848-1864)

Charles joined the 32nd Maine Volunteers, Company E. He died in 1864, cause unspecified, and is buried in Madrid Village Cemetery.

Emma or Julia Morrison (1849-1865)

As noted above, a child born about 1849 was called Emma in the 1850 census, and the 1860 census showed a child also born about 1849 named Julia, and I assume they were the same girl. Julia died in 1865, and is buried in Madrid Village Cemetery. The 15-year-old Emma Morrison living with Emily and her family in the 1870 census for Rangeley remains unexplained, but she was in any case several years younger than our Emma/Julia.
