English: Portrait of Rev. Thomas Morton Colson (1719-1786), Rector of Studland in Dorset. Engraved on back of gilt metal casing: "Rev'd Tho Morton Colson obt Mar 14th 1786 aet 67".
Text from "The COLSON Family of Dorchester (From 1596) Apothecaries, Barber Surgeons, Capital Burgesses, Clergymen & Mayor in 1712 & 1722" Compiled by Michael Russell, Online Parish Clerk for Dorchester, January 2015" [1]: Rev. Thomas COLSON MA (1716-1784) (sic, dates do not match to inscription engraved onto back of miniature case) was baptised at St Peters church in Dorchester on 25th Jan 1716/17. He was a son of Robert COLSON Junior (1676-1724) Attorney at Law, Capital Burgess and Mayor of Dorchester in 1712 and 1722 by his wife Mary MORTON (1681-). Her pedigree is recorded in the 1677 Visitation of Dorset and this shows that she was the 6th and last child of Charles MORETON of Hembrey in Dorset (1650-1681) by his wife Mary the daughter of John Lawrence (1653-1691) of Milton Abbas. Mary Morton was baptised on 12th Jan 1681 and had an elder brother John Morton who was baptised 7th Jan 1677/8. Thomas graduated at Balliol College Oxford where he matriculated at the age of 18 (sic) on 11th Nov 1735, going on to be awarded his BA in 1739 and MA in 1742 (see Alumni Oxoniensis (1715-1886) volume 1[2]). He joined the church being ordained a deacon at Christchurch in Oxford on 1st June 1740 and a priest at Wells Cathedral on 24th May 1741. Probably because of his father's status as a gentleman he was appointed Rector of St Andrews at Stoke Trister in Somerset which included the hamlet of Bayford. He was then appointed Rector of Studland in Dorset on 31st May 1744 where he remained for 40 years until his death there in 1784 (sic). He married firstly Mrs Jane CULME in Studland on 19 Jun 1753 but she died and was buried there on 27 Mar 1759. He then married Jane WORGAN on 15th May 1760 at Andover in Hampshire. They had three children:
