This is the Morse family arms and crest. Tony is descended from Anthony Morse, who came to Massachusetts from England in 1635 (and really, it's crazy how many of his ancestors were on the ship James). I think it may have been a little precognitive.
Anthony Morse is also the ancestor of Sarah Anthony Morse. She married and had two daughters (neither of whom had children). She died when her younger daughter, Lizzie, was three. Her husband, Andrew Borden, remarried. He and his second wife were later murdered. Lizzie was acquitted, though people tend to forget that part.
And yes, this means that Lizzie Borden is in my extended family tree.
