Venn: Matric. sizar from Magdalene, Easter, i6ii; B.A. 1614-5. Ord. deacon (Peterb.) May 23; priest, May 24, 1619. Doubtless identical with the Anglican clergyman of these names who was sent out to Massachusetts by the Plymouth Council to superintend the Churches established in the colony, 1623. The colony was a failure and broke up in less than a year; Mr Morell went to Plymouth, Mass., remained there a year and then returned to England; his later history has not been learned. Published a narrative of his American observations in Latin hexameters and English verse. (D.N.B.; J. G. Bartlett.)
