p. 3 Samuel Morse was born in 1587, died April 5 (or June 20), 1654...
Samuel Morse married, before he left England, Elizabeth ---, who was born 1587 and died in 1654. >> (I would be suspicious of those dates, since they are exactly the same as Samuel's, but maybe I'm too cautious.)

Samuel
Jeremiah
