He had been paying his addresses to a young lady, who, from some cause not mentioned, turned him off; and thereupon, he determined to emigrate to America. When the lady knew of it, she relented, and, knowing he would pass her residence as he proceeded to embark, placed herself in his view, hoping to bring about a reconciliation. To her grief, she found him inexorable; and although she accosted him with the affectionate enquiry, "Whither goest thou, Maurice?" yet he deigned not to turn his head or to look upon her. And they never saw each other more. Morris Hobbs, born about 1616, came to Hampton between 1640 and 1645; married Sarah, daughter of William Eastow; lived with his father-in-law on the present homestead of Horace Hobbs, one of his descendants, of the seventh generation.
