In pension application, 1820, he stated age as 67 or 68, and that of wife Mary as 64. But his first enlistment was under New Haven officers, and he may have been son of Capt. John Lines, bapt. at Woodbridge, 6 May 1750. He was living at Redding, 1820. He may be a different man from a John Lines who m. Mary Bennit and had a son Philip, b. at Clifton Park, N.

24. Morehouse [Thomas and Elisha, sons of Thomas]. Thomas (bapt. 1708) and Elisha Morehouse, presumably of Norwalk, are known (from their mother's will) to have had issue, and we are inclined to think that several Norwalk Morehouses, not otherwise placed, have their source here. Charity Morehouse m. at Norwalk, 3 Sept. 1758, John Piatt. Michael Morehouse first purchased in Norwalk in 1754. Thomas Morehouse in 1770 sold to Michael, land bounded on Solomon Morehouse's land. In 1783, Michael and Betty sold land to Andrew Morehouse; in 1786 Michael sold to Solomon More house. Michael and Betty conveyed to their son Stephen in 1798, retaining life use. Michael m. at Westport, 23 Aug. 1750, Elizabeth Mills, who is prob. the Betty of the deeds. By a family tradition, which we hesitate to accept in its entirety, Michael Morehouse, a native of Scotland, settled in Wilton, m. Miss Oysterbanks, and had a son Michael (a Revolutionary soldier), who in turn (by an unknown wife) had children: Nathan (m. Betsey Mills, dau. of Joseph), Andrew, Michael, Esther, Julia, Caroline, and Sally.

* Mrs. Cornelia Penfield Lathrop, compiler of the Penfield Genealogy, contributes a note regarding the wife of the first American Penfield. It is my belief that Samuel Penfield (1) was married but once. The basis for the "three wives—Mary, Ann, Mary" is founded on the records of Bristol, R. I, which give the birth dates of three children as those of Samuel and Mary, of two as Samuel and Anne and one as Samuel and Mary. The two whose mother is "Anne" were twins,—hence one entry. Since the same clerk entered Samuel's daughter Sarah as the daughter of "Thomas and Mary," an entry later corrected, it is more than probable that Samuel was married only once—to Mary Lewis, who married (2) William Stone. The birth date of Mary Lewis nearly coincides with that of the woman who lies under the curious inscription in Portland, Conn, t "Mrs. Mary Penfield and widow of Wm. Stone who dyed January 30, 1741, about 90 years of age," near the burial plots of the family of John, second son of Samuel (1) and Mary, who settled in East Middletown.
