1800 Birth: Birth year of 1800 estimated based on age (49 years) in 18502402 census enumeration and his presumed enumeration as a newborn (male under age 10) in the 18002406 enumeration. (Example: A person born and enumerated after 18 August 1800 would accurately report an age of 49 when he was enumerated on 17 August 1850.) Birth place of Rutland County, Vermont assumed given that parents Abraham Morey and Abigail Stratton were enumerated there in 1800.

1800 U.S. Census:148, p. 125.,2406 Asa enumerated in the household of his father Abraham Morey in Rutland Township, Rutland County, Vermont as a male under the age of 10; Asa was a newborn.

The Asa of this enumeration was age 26 to 45; the Betsey, age 26 to 45 living with another female under the age of 10. This does not appear to be the family of Asa Morey, son of Abraham Morey and Abigail Stratton.

Asa failed to build the cabin as promised. The court ruled that Abraham was entitled to the land.

1831 Legal Matter:1237 At the 30 March 1831 term, the Licking County Common Pleas Court found Asa Morey, defendant, in default and ordered him to convey a disputed tract to land to Abraham Morey, plaintiff, presumed to be Asa’s father.
