Thomas MORRELL (1630-1704) to John MORRELL (1865-1935)
See Also: Thomas MORRELL (1630-1704) Date and Place of Birth: 1630 - England Date and Place of Death: 1704 - Newtown, Long Island, New York Thomas MORRELL, born in England in 1630, is the immigrant ancestor of the Morrell family herein being traced. Father: Thomas MORRELL (b.1590 in England) Mother: Joan (Joanna) Searle (b.1593 in England) Thomas Morrell b.1590 and Joan Searle were Married July 18, 1610 in St. Andrews-Plymouth, Devonshire, England.In addition to Thomas b.1630, there were two older children, Caleb and John. Thomas Morrell, the father, b.1590, died in about 1638 and Joan remarried. With her new husband, William Warner, and her son Thomas and his two older brothers, Caleb and John, they came here in about 1640 and settled in the vicinity of what became known as Newtown, New York, now Elmhurst, Queens, Long Island, New York where the family remained for some time. Immigrant ancestor Thomas Morrell b.1630 did not stay permanently. He returned to England for schooling, and, while there, met and, in 1660, married wealthy heiress Hannah Anne Gleane who was probably British aristocracy, the daughter of or at least related to Sir Peter Gleane and Lady Penelope Rodney, close associates of the Duke of York. The first son of immigrant ancestor Thomas b.1630 and his wife Hannah was Thomas MORRELL, born in England in 1662. Shortly thereafter, in 1664, the Dutch ceded New Amsterdam to England and Thomas, with his wife Hannah and son Thomas, now with the benefit of Hannah's money, returned to New York and prospered. Thomas bought extensive tracts of land, establishing a huge farm encompassing land that is now part of such sites LaGuardia Airport, the World's Fair site, the National Tennis Center, and Shea Stadium. Their family and descendents were extensive, beginning as follows: Thomas MORRELL (1630-1704) Spouse: Hannah Anne GLEANE (16??-????)

Child John Morrell m.Phoebe Morrell & Ann White and Had Descendents Sarah MORRELL b.ABT 1674 Abigail MORRELL b.ABT 1676Note: Due to the number of family members of various generations named John, Jonathan, Joseph, and Thomas, and also the fact that there were multiple children and wives with names such as Hannah, Sarah, and Judith, there exists some confusion about who exactly was descended from whom in the very early stages. Thomas MORRELL (1699-1771), who was defnitely an ancestor, was most likely the son of Jonathan MORRELL (1670-1726). There are, however, some records that suggest that he was instead the son of Joseph MORRELL (1667-1742). It may be possible to confirm the actual parentage at some future time. For now, we are accepting the most likely explanation based upon the best available evidence - that Thomas MORRELL (1699-1771) was the son of Jonathan MORRELL (1670-1726). That is how the line is depicted in this chart. Thomas MORRELL (1699-1771) was, in any event, indisputably the grandson of Thomas MORRELL (1630-1704) and Hannah Anne GLEANE, most likely through their son Jonathan MORRELL (1670-1726), but possibly through Joseph MORRELL (1667-1742). -------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan MORRELL (1670-1726) Date and Place of Birth: 1670 - Newtown, Long Island, New York Date and Place of Death: 1726 - Newtown, Long Island, New York Father: Thomas MORRELL (1630-1704) Mother: Hannah Anne GLEANE (16??-????)

Some of them were patriots and some of them were loyalists. Quite a few of the loyalist Morrells fled to Canada and are the ancestors of an extensive line of Morrells in Canada. The patriots obviously stayed as did some of the loyalists. Exactly who was who in terms of patriot vs. loyalist is a hard to determine. To some extent, one can say that the family lines may have followed the money or the lack thereof - the loyalist Morrells were the wealthy ones. -------------------------------------------------------------- Elijah MORRELL (1759-1805) Date and Place of Birth: June 10, 1759 - Newtown, Long Island, New York Date and Place of Death: May 9, 1805 - Father: Robert MORRELL (1736-1774) Mother: Rebecca CORNISH Spouse: Maria Ursilla WORT (1758?-????)
