James Morrell settled an area near the St. John River in New Brunswick in the 1830s that came to be known as Morrell Siding. Many descendents had believed he was related to the loyalist Morrells who removed from Long Island, New York, to the New Brunswick area after the Revolutionary War. Surprisingly, DNA evidense proved otherwise. James Morrell is derived from an entirely distinct lineage and may have been the first of his line in North America.
