After Thankful's death, Theodore married Susannah Davis (widow of Zaccheus Phinney) on Mar. 6, 1763. Susannah was the daughter of Jabez Davis and Annah Dimmock. Theodore and Susannah had two children, a daughter, Bere Cynthia Morse and a son Calvin. Theodore Morse lived to the age of 80, dying in Falmouth, in 1794. In most sources, he was known as Captain Morse, because he was a master sea captain and he had received a Captain's commission from the king as well. He was also known to be a yeoman (property owner).
