Morrill Kindred suggests Moses is the son of Daniel and Betty (Osgood) Morrill. We can say that the various census records as well as his tombstone all put his date of birth at about 1784. This presents a problem, as Betty would have given birth three times in thirteen months. Because the 1850 census record gives Moses' birth place as New Hampshire, and because there is a record of a Moses born in 1784 in Boscawen, it is more reasonable to conclude Moses is the child of John and Elizabeth (Rogers) Morrill of Boscawen.
