BIOGRAPHY: fr. Harworth, near Scrooby 1623 in 'Anne' to Plymouth merchant of well-to-do Roman Catholic family; "Dict Am Biog" probably son of Anthony Morton a wealthy Catholic gentleman living near Scrooby, Nottinghamshire MORTON.GED includes notes: Immigration: Jun 1623, in Plymouth, MA (Descendants of Levi Wood, 1755-1833, V. S.Pease, 1913). Occupation: Merchant. In the "Descendants of Levi Wood", George Morton is noted as a man of affairs, and before joining the colony had acted for several years as fiscal agent for the Pilgrims. It was he who chartered the ship "Mayflower" which was the first to enter the service of transporting the Pilgrims from England to America. "Abraham Sampson in America" tells how he remained in Holland to promote the success of the colony by encouraging immigration. The work for which he is most noted is his publication since known as "Mourt's Relation". The Relation is composed of letters and journals from the chief colonists in Plymouth. He traveled on the Ann, the third and last ship to carry what are distinctively known as the forefathers. The Ann reached Plymouth early in June 1623. A year later, in June 1624, he died. Leon Clark Hills in History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters, agrees on his reaching the colony in 1623, but places him on the Little James, along with John Jenney and his family. There were only three families and a single man noted as passengers on the Little James. The Little James was intended to remain in the colony. In "Saints and Strangers", George Morton is noted to be of a well-to-do- Roman Catholic family of Harworth, in Bawtry and near Scrooby. He is also said to have died impoverished shortly after his arrival and his family was provided for by his brother-in-law, William Bradford. "Descendants of Levi Wood" 1894.

I had to smile on your "It's the "fairly clear" which bothers me <smile>" statement. The answer is yes and no. We have copies of wills along with land records for some but not all. We have some good data here and there with sources cited. The main lines are fairly well agreed upon ... until something comes along to disprove it. This is why it is important to document where you got your data. Sharing helps make it more interesting. Captain William Carpenter of Rehoboth (b. 1605) has excellent sources due to the recent (in the last decade or so) finds in church records that revealed the marriage and baptisim records. Richard Carpenter (below) does not have the excellent documentation. His data has the more meager and relys on unconfirmed sources.
