Elder Isaac Heath and brother William Heath were joined in New England by various relatives. These included their brother in law John Johnson of Roxbury, widower of their sister Mary Heath, and their nephew and niece, Edward Morris of Roxbury, and Elizabeth (Morris)Cartwright of Boston.

Edward Morris and Elizabetn (Morris)Cartwright may have taken another sibling, Isaac Morris, aged 9, who was on the opewell in 1635 in the company of John and arbara Ruggles of Nazing, Essex, probably same as Isaac Morrison baptized at Great Amwell 3 Feb 1625/6. He may have died young as no further record of him.
