Biographical Sketch (1969):6, p. 23. "Lieut. Jonathan Morey born about 1633 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, son of Roger Morey and his wife, who may have been Mary Johnson. He was baptised 2 February 1637-8 (VR Salem v.2:67). When his father and younger brothers and sisters removed to Providence, Rhode Island about 1649, following Roger Williams to the new plantations, Jonathan Morey remained at Salem.

Mary (Bartlett) (Foster) Morey died 26 September 1692 (Mayflower Descendant, v.16:63) and Jonathan Morey 19 May 1708 (Mayflower Descendant, v.16:64)."

Biographical Sketch (1956):384 "Jonathan Morey married second, about 1693-4, Hannah (Pincen) (Young) Witherell. She was born at Scituate, Mass., 4 Dec. 1642 [Scituate VR 1:296], daughter of Thomas Pincen. She married first, 15 Jan. 1661, George Young [Scituate VR, 2:399], by whom she had five children; and second, about 1673-4, John Witherell, by whom she had four children. John Witherell was named executor in his father-in-law's will dated 4 April 1689 but died a year or two after this date, probably in March 1691. Although no record of John Witherell's death has been found, his will dated 13 July 1690 was probated 17 March 1690/1 [Plymouth Probate 1:97]. His wife Hannah was named sole executrix. On 27 June 1694, Thomas Pincen Jr. and Hannah Morey, son and daughter of Thomas Pincen Sr., presented their father's will for probate 'for as much as ye executor (John Witherell) therein named died sometime before ye testator . . . Hannah (now Morey) wife of said executor is named executrix' of her father's estate. In his will [Plymouth Probate 1:196], he names all her children by both husbands.

It is evident from her age at death that she had no children by Jonathan Morey. Her date of death has not been seen but she was living 12 May 1720 when John Bumpas and wife Hannah acknowledged receipt of 'legacy of £8.6.8 from our honored mother . . . given to me by my father in his will.' [Plymouth Probate 4:219].

'Left. Jonathan Morey deceased 19 May 1708 being entered into 75 yer of his age' [Mayflower Descendant 16:64, Plymouth VR]. Abstract of his will dated 24 Feb. 1699, probated 16 June 1708 [Plymouth Probate 2:133]: To widow Hannah all her wearing cloth both lining [!] and wollen [!], also I give to her 2 oxen and 3 cows and 2 beds that she brought with her and also all the household stuff that she brought . . . and furthermore it is my wish that my wife may live in the improvement of all my housing and lands one year after my decease without disturbance or molestation. All the remainder of my estate both real and personal, my just debts and funeral charges being paid, to be equally divided into three parts: for my wife and my two children each one third, that is to say, my wife one third part, my son John Mory one third part, and my daughter Hannah Bumpas one third part, and it is my will and mind that my son Jonathan will pay in some convenient time after my decease the sum of 20 and 5 pounds in money, then he shall fully enjoy all ye remainder of my lands and meadows, which 5 and 20 pounds shall be equally divided to these three: my wife, my son John, and my daughter Hannah. He named his wife Hannah executrix.

Thus, according to his will, we learn that he had only three surviving children, and the three named above are the only children who appear in the records. Instances occur where all the children are not named in their father's will, but when that happened we can usually find references to them in deeds showing that they had received portions. The exact terms of a will often idnicate whether all the children are probably named or not."
