     He left a will on 21 Jul 1715 at Medway, Massachusetts. In this will he mentioned his daughters, giving them his house and land. He also named "my Eldest Son" Joseph, second son Ebenezer and "My Youngest son" Jeremiah.⁹

     Joseph Daniel was born on 23 Sep 1666 at Medfield, Massachusetts.² He was the son of Joseph Daniel and Mary/Marie Fairbanks.¹ Joseph Daniel died on 14 Jan 1739 at age 72.³

     Spencer has identified Mary, wife of Ezra Morse. "By a deed of 15 April 1718, 'Ezra Morse of Dedham in the County of Suffolk within the province of Massachusetts bay in New England Yeoman & Mary his wife (one of the daughters of Joseph Daniel of Medway within the County afors^d, deced) and Joseph Mason of Medfield in the County aforsd. and Elizabeth his Wife (another of the daughters of Joseph Daniel aforementioned[)]' sold a house in Hanover Street, Boston, to Benjamin Gibson."²
     Spencer and Spooner later pointed out that "It is not entirely clear from the vital records of Dedham that she [Mary Daniels] was the mother of all of Ezra's children. There is no direct marriage record, and a gap in the birth pattern from1694 to 1703. In addition, the earliest baptismal and marriage records of the Dedham church are missing. [Reference is made to The Deacon's Book: Records of the First Church, Dedham, Massachusetts, 1677 - 1737 by Robert Brand Hanson] Ezra, however, may be credited with having children with the same woman from 1703 forwsrd. [Reference is made to Don Gleason Hill, The Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths, and of Intentions of Marriage, in the Town of Dedham, Volumes 1 & 2, pp. 26, 31, 34, 38, 39, 41 and also Robert Brand Hanson, Vital Records of Dedham, Massashusetts, 1645 - 1845, rev. ed., pp. 150 - 54, 218.]" This leaves open the identification of the mother of Ezra Morse III.⁸
