Early life. Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on April 27, 1791. He was the first son of Jedidiah Morse, a clergyman, and Elizabeth Breese, of New Jersey.
On February 21, 1838, Samuel F. B. Morse presented his telegraph invention to President Martin Van Buren and his cabinet. People began to see what could be possible with this new invention. However, a couple of months later a bill to support a $30,000 telegraph line project failed in Congress.
