Isaac Morrill graduated Harvard College in September 1740 with a Master of Arts degree. [7]

Isaac was minister at Wilmington, Massachusetts for more than 50 years between 1741-1793.

The will of Isaac Morrill names wife Dorothy, sons Isaac, James, Eliakim, William, Nathaniel, daughters Elizabeth Ford wife of Cadwallader Ford, Dorothy, and Abigail. Also names grandsons David and Samuel. Dorothy and Abigail are single at the time of the codicil Jan. 16, 1792.

Dorothy Ruggles is a direct descendant of Thomas Dudley, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 1630-1633, through Samuel4, Martha3 Woodbridge, Mercy2 Dudley, Thomas1. Thomas Dudley is a direct descendant of William I the Conqueror, and therefore also King Henry II and King John I. Descendants of Dorothy Ruggles may claim royal and noble ancestry. [8]
