"The Morey family also goes back to the beginnings of Licking County, having come from Vermont to Granville in 1813 to bring their expertise as stone masons to the building of that village.

The Alexandrian Society established the bank and built for it the small stone structure on the east side of the square south of Broad; Henry George and Joseph Evans doing the work in connection with Wm. Stedman, or under him as contractor.

The first opening of the quarry on Prospect Hill was under Esq. Baker’s direction, by one Morey, to obtain the stone for this building. The quarry on Sugar Loaf was opened much earlier and it furnished the stone for the smelting stack of the furnace."

Biographical Sketch (1969):6, p. 17. "Between 1812 and 1817, streams of Vermonters poured into Licking County chiefly because of the homesteading efforts of Colonel Wait Wright of Rutland, Vermont. Partly because of the war with Canada, but primarily because of the richer prospects, large groups of relatives and friends, including the Wright, Mead, Eddy, and Morey families, migrated across New York State and Ohio to the new lands."
