Joseph Morse died in Cavendish (area later became Baltimore), Windsor, Vermont after 25 March 1796 (discharge of mortgage to sons Jonas and Asa); bur. possibly in Baltimore Cemetery, less than half a mile from their home; m. (1) Needham, Middlesex, Mass. 4 December 1755 Mary Hawes (+ February 1768); m. (2) Holden, Worcester, Mass. 27 September 1768 to Lucy Whittemore. About 1757 moved to Holdon, Mass. May have been the Joseph Morse who enlisted 27 September 1777; discharged 23 October 1777 with Northern Army and sworn to in Worcester County. He was compensated for one month and three days’ service which included eight days’ travel of 150 miles. The company was raised for just thirty days. He may also have been involved in the march to Lexington/Concord after the fight there on 19 April 1775.
Joseph and Lucy moved to Vermont after the Revolutionary War while it was known as the Vermont Republic, which lasted from 1777 to 1791. Deeds buying land are dated 1789, 1791 and 1792, their land at the junction of Baltimore and Graves Roads in what became Baltimore (broke away from Cavendish), Windsor, Vermont. Town meetings in Cavendish became too hard to attend because of Hawks Mountain, so a small area broke off and became known as Baltimore. One description of Morse land includes land abutting a neighbor, Thaddeus Bowman (#186). Son, Jonas (92), married neighbor Lucy Bowman (#93). Another son Asa married Anna Bowman.
