NOTES
1). BURIAL Stuevely Cemetary, Duchouquet Township, Auglaize County, Ohio. BIOGRAPHY William P. Morey as son of Abraham Morey has not been proven by vital records or other independent sources. The relationship was described by Claire Sherwood in her Morey research based on circumstantial evidence and has been accepted by others. However, William P. was not listed as one of the children heirs at law in legal proceedings in connection with Abraham s estate. The issue remains unsolved. BIOGRAPHY Family Rememberance Jay Dewey Morey, grandson of William P. Morey, responded to the question. Do you know the names of the brothers and sisters of William P. Morey an dany dates and places of death? with this information, The names of William P.

BIOGRAPHY Family Rememberance In response to the question, You sent me the names of Wm. P. Morey s brothers and sisters. How were you able to get that information? Jay Dewey Morey grandson of William P. Morey responded, I got this information thrua cousin Jane Morey of Lima, Ohio, who now is about96 years old. It was dictated by an Uncle Wilson Morey, my father s brother. BIOGRAPHY Biographical Sketch 1969 The attempt to trace backward the lineage of William P. Morey, born in Vermont, 16 August 1814, family record died in Auglaize Co., Ohio, 14 March 1852, has been difficult chiefly because of the loss of Licking Co., Ohio records where the family lived in the late 1820 sand 1830 s. In conclusions reached in this report, weight has been placed on census records, cemetary inscriptions, and strong clues inherent in published material of Licking and adjoining Knox County on other members of the family. BIOGRAPHY Biographical Sketch 1969 Family records show that William P. Morey married Rebecca Patterson at some time prior to 1836 when their first child was born. Since marriage records are lost in Licking Co., we must conclude she was the daughterof the only Adam Patterson of Burlington Township, a near neighbor. The young couple removed to Moulton Township of Allen Co., Ohio, which when Auglaize Co., was set off in 1848, fell in the new county. Seven children were born to them before his accidental death in 1852 at the age of thirty seven. BIOGRAPHY 1814 Birth William P.
