The name of his more immediate ancestor, Richard Warren, was in "New England's Memorial." How father first met mother I know not.

She was singularly beautiful--beautiful even to the day of her death; but she was poor, and without connection, for Philip Warren was the last of his name.
What the Warrens might have been was nothing to the Morgesons; they themselves had no past, and only realized the present.

They never thought of inquiring into that matter, so they opposed, with great promptness, father's wish to marry Mary Warren.

All, except old Locke Morgeson, his grandfather, who rode over to Barmouth to see her one day, and when he came back told father to take her, offered him half his house to live in, and promised to push him in the world.

His offer quelled the rioters, silencing in particular the opposition of John Morgeson, father's father.
In a month from this time, Locke Morgeson, Jr., took Mary Warren from her father's house as his wife.
