Cora Linn Morrison was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, March 17, 1852, the daughter of Abram B. Morrison and Mary Elizabeth Pond Morrison. She is descended from the Morrisons, hereditary judges in the Hebrides Islands since 1613, on her father's side. The family motto being translated, reads: "Longheadedness is better than riches." She is descended from the Ponds, on her mother's side, upon whom a coat-of-arms with the motto, "Fide et Amore," was conferred by Henry VIII, in 1509. Her grandfather, General Lucas Pond, was for many years a member of the Massachusetts Senate. Her great-uncle, Enoch Pond, D.D., was president of the Bangor Theological Seminary in Bangor, Maine. She had at least one sibling, a brother, Abraham Cressy Morrison.
She was educated in the grammar school of Malden, Massachusetts. A private tutor took charge of her for two years. She was sent to Delacove Institute, near Philadelphia, and finished her studies in Dean Academy (now Dean College), Franklin, Massachusetts.
