The Parsons/Morse papers document the description and sale of parcels of land owned originally by the Parsons family, and after 1842, the Morse family. The documents cover the years from 1719 to 1940. The land was in the general area of Stage Fort Park (then known as Fishermen’s Field) and Western Avenue. Other documents concern the schooner W. B. Ferguson, of which Isaac Morse was the master. Included are invoice receipts for the schooner on a trip to Baltimore on March 20, 1863; citizenship documentation and a required Oath of Allegiance to teach in New Orleans in 1863; license approval from the city of Gloucester for the W. B. Ferguson; and the appointment of Isaac Morse as Commissioner of Wrecks and Shipwrecked Goods for Essex county. Also included is a tin container which was used to preserve documents.
