Mosby, John Singleton page 493 MORTON, William Thomas Green, dentist, was born in Charlton township, Mass., Aug. 9, 1819; son of James Morton; grandson of Thomas Morton, a Revolutionary soldier, and a descendant of Robert Morton, who came from Scotland to Meriden, Mass., and removed thence to New Jersey, where he founded Elizabethtown. His father, a farmer, lost his property in 1835, and William was obliged to leave school and support himself. He studied dentistry with Horace Wells (q.v.) in Hartford, Conn., was a partner of Dr. Wells in Hartford, and soon after removed to Boston. He was married in May, 1844, to Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Whitman, of Farmington, Conn. He entered as a student of medicine[p.493] the office of Dr. Charles T. Jackson (q.v.) in March, 1844, and in July, 1844, first applied hydro-chloric ether to the tooth of a patient before applying the instrument used in filling, and he thus discovered that ether caused insensibility to pain. He then applied hydro-chloric ether to insects, birds and small quadrupeds, but with no positive results. He matriculated at Harvard medical school in 1844, where he made the acquaintance of Dr. Joseph C. Warren (q.v.), and attended clinical lectures at the Massachusetts General hospital. On September 30, 1846, he shut himself alone in a room, breathed hydrochloric ether, and was rendered for a time insensible, as described by himself after recovering. He next administered it to a patient with a painful tooth, and he extracted the tooth and brought his patient to consciousness by dashing cold water in his face. On Oct. 14, 1846, Dr. Warren sent for Morton to administer his preparation to a patient then about to undergo an operation. The operation proved painless and successful. The next trial was successfully made, Nov. 7, 1846, in amputating a leg, but the profession discouraged the use of the preparation in the hospital as against the code of medical ethics, the preparation being a secret of Morton's. He soon after made a free gift of the use of his discovery to the hospital, and in 1848 the trustees presented him with a silver box containing $1,000, the inscription on the box concluding, "He has become poor in a cause which made the world his debtor." He was granted a patent for his discovery in November, 1846, and in Europe in December, 1846, and when he offered the free use of his patent to the army and navy both departments declined to have anything to do with it. The popular opposition to its use ruined his practice in Boston, and when he applied to congress for relief in 1846, and again in 1849, his claims were opposed by both Dr. Jackson and Horace Wells. In 1852 his friends obtained the introduction of a bill in congress appropriating $100,000 as a national testimonial for his discovery on condition that he should surrender his patent to the U.S. government, but it failed to pass, as it did in 1853 and 1854. The medical profession of Boston, New York and Philadelphia gave the bill tardy support in 1856, 1858 and 1860 respectively. The bill before congressed was so amended as to embrace the names of Jackson, Wells and Long as equally entitled with Morton to credit for the discovery of the application of ether as an anæsthesia, and as amended was never acted upon. Dr. Morton received a prize of 2,500 france from the French Academy of Sciences for the application of the discovery to surgical operations. He was also decorated by the governments of Rubin and Sweden, and the commonwealth of Massachusetts caused his name to he placed second in the list of fifty-three immortals that adorn the dome of the State house in Boston. Dr. Nathan P. Weyman, of New York, left a history of the part taken by Dr. Morton in the ether controversy in "Trial of a Public Benefactor" (1859). Dr. Morton engaged in farming at Wellesley, Mass., and died suddenly while in Central Park, New York city, July 15, 1868.

Hi all, Now that all the smoke has cleared, I'll post my brickwall. Need help with the parents of: Elijah Green b. <1809>. Tenn, d. <1872> Hempstead Co, Ark., m. 1829/1830 Tuscaloose, Ala. Sarah Moore b. 1800, Ala. Had about 10 children. 3 born in Tuscaloosa 1833-1838 3 born in Miss 1842-1846 2 born Ark. 1848-1852 2 other girl children no info. Needless to say I need help finding his parents. Moved around so much, he has become the elusive phantom Elijah. Thanks Ray

They have a number of different databases (note the 'List All Collections' link.) They can be searched individually or all at one time from the main page. Many of the items are images of letters and other original documents. Most of these also have a link to a transcript of the document. If you cant quite read that old letter from 1860, just click over to the transcript. Many of the transcripts have footnotes to explain certain items in the document. Enjoy Ron Hanks

It is a sad thing when we miss out on an important message. Getting a seperate e-mail will correct the problem. I had to get a seperate one for my husbands music too (3 seperate mailboxes), there were to many items to look for, so there was an answer to the problem. Seperate pleasure from business and hobbies. On my genealogy mail box I would get up to 500 plus a day, along with many personal e-mails, and several of my personal ones ended up getting deleted, so I made another one for personal, and yes the delete key became my best friend. It has worked out wonderfully, so maybe if others are having the same problem with bouncing, this may be the answer to the problem. This is why I belong to list, in the hopes to maybe find the missing link. My Green brick wall has lasted now 10 years, but am still hopeful that with the kindness of people that maybe they will have the key to unlock the mystery of where in the h... are they.

The GREEN Surname List has always been a productive, positive list. The list polices itself with opinions expressed, and with little intervention from your list administrator. My apologies to those who wished I had stepped in sooner, but I was happy to see the discussion on a list which had been too quiet during the past year. After being a subscriber for ten years, it was only this year that I happily found an unknown cousin descended from my great-grandfather GREEN through their post to the list. Please continue to post your GREEN family queries and information. Let's not allow any personal attacks impede our goal of sharing information on this list for mutual benefit. Please try to follow Rootsweb list etiquette and place as much information about your query or information post on the subject line so that those not interested can use the delete key. Thanks for the participation, now let's find those family links. FYI, our list has 406 subscribers to the List mode and 141 to the Digest mode. - Dave Green

F.E. Green (1834-1916) married Mary M. Carter (1842-1895) and had daughter Camiller Green (1858-1916) who married John Thomas Carter (1859-1916), settled in Sabine Parish, La. All four of these people are buried in Old Pisgah Cem.. These are my maternal grandmother's parents and grandparents. Looking for further info. especially on John Thomas's parents/siblings and the Green family. Thanks, Mickey Inman --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

I don't think anyone wants the Famous Americans series to stop. The whole problem was that some people felt inundated by a long, stream of so many at once. A very simple remedy is to just send out a few over a period of several days. That might help end the discussion, too. Sincerely, Connie

Dear Greens, Here is my periodic query - hope there are some new Greens watching this list: I am looking for the parents of Margaret Ann GREEN, b 15 May 1829 in Fleming Co, KY. She m Wilson McDonald DARNALL, 1844 in IN. He had previously lived in Fleming Co. According to 1830 and 1840 censuses of Fleming Co, the Morton and Fielding Green households each included a female in the right age group to have been Margaret Ann. Does anyone know the names of Morton's and/or Fielding's (probably 1778-1855) children? Thank you! Cheers, Glenn Selch 2130 Chestnut Circle Erie, CO 80516 ph: 303-494-1693 email: gselch@comcast.net

If someone doesn't like the postings there is always a DELETE button. Many of us profit so much from others who take time to help. Don't let a few rotten apples spoil the whole bushel. Thanks....Pat T

Why would any one want someone to stop taking their time to send this wonderful tid bits of Family HISTORY to a list. Its great. Maybe one day I will find out my family and be a happy camper too. Keep up the good work, I to was slammed for my good efforts and I kept on typing the information and I had many persons telling me hay I did not know thats where he ended up at. It was great to be of help. Now I can not even focus long enough to think of doing something that awsome to aid in helping others anymore, muchless doing or continmung my family tree without the fear of screwing it up.. It would be real real nice if I could find my Green family by reading these postings, now if I could remember what I am reading, that would be nice to. In November 2004 I had an episode that left me with double vision as to which I think I have become use to, then in December 2004 I found out I have MS with up to 7 brain lesions with perminate damage. It has hit me like a mac truck with little recovery, I am only 45. So everyone who is having a cow over these postings, get a grip, be blessed that someone has the ability to do this for YOU. Its sad when all these little things seem to be to hard to do that useto be so easy. I have the right to be on a pitty pot, its only going to last one year, then I will be ok. Leona Greene

Leona, Your story is so touching and to the point, I am humbled by your praise. I don't let it bother me when 2 (just 2) members of the List complained because the overwhelming majority wanted me to continue the postings, which I did. I have no problem with those two Scrooges who apparently don't know what a mailing list is for, it is their loss for missing out on all of the fun as far as I'm concerned. I am so grateful to almost everyone on this list who weren't upset about the postings of Famous Americans, which I felt was totally wasted sitting in an online database only available to those who use Ancestry.com. I posted messages to several other boards and lists also, who had either Surnames or County hits in those records, and I am glad that the info is now out there to be discovered by someone looking for those individuals in the collection, through the message archives. I am also going to keep an eye out for other valuable data collections that features something to help researchers and I will be posting them to the boards and/ or lists when I get the chance to. So, it doesn't bother me if someone is so extremely rude and narrow-minded that they don't want others to be given resources not otherwise available to them, they are the ones who are the losers.

Thanks Deloris for sending all of the posting. I appreciate it all of your hard work. Linda St. Petersburg, FL

May I make a suggestion that might help? I appreciate the postings of everyone on my all Lists and hope they continue. However, sometimes the Subject Line is so long that the name gets cut off at the beginning of the Digest - all that appears is "Famous Americans". One has to scroll through each posting to see who the famous GREEN is. For a really long Digest this gets discouraging and I have a tendency to give up reading them - this doesn't help anyone trying to connect their families. Perhaps you could leave off the "Famous Americans" part and just put the name and location of the individual - it'd make typing it in easier, too. I believe Deloris does follow common posting etiquette, at least. FYI for those who don't know, a typical Subject Line should look like this: GREEN, William; OH>NE; 1843-1914 I also subscribe to the ALLEN list and most of the Subject Lines simply say "Allen" - well, duh! What is that going to tell me? (I was flamed when I made these same suggestions, but still subscribe even though I was told if I didn't like it I should leave - go figure...) Most of the time I don't even bother with the surname in the Subject Line - we're on the GREEN list, and unless we're inquiring about a spouse's Surname, it goes without saying that GREEN is the surname so why waste valuable time and space? (Btw, the abbreviation for Nebraska is NE not NB, as I see quite often.) Also, the post itself should have the Surname in CAPS so it can be scanned easily and quickly. For example, William GREEN was the son of Alexander GREEN and Louisa CLINE. Some of the spouses in their line, include Mary JOHNSON, Mary TAYLOR, William LEWIS, Myrtle THOMAS, Edward CHRISTIAN, Maude RHOWEDDER, and Oscar TUCKER. I've seen postings on some lists that are written in all CAPS and I've seen postings in all lower case, with no punctuation. (Newbie, do you want me to read this or not?) I've seen postings that ramble on and on, e.g., about how one person's mother told so-and-so's cousin about how such-and-such family moved to wherever. For a Query (Deloris' postings are different), it's best, imho, to be short and to the point - names, dates, locations (just the facts, ma'am) perhaps a few short sentences like, "It is possible that William was in the American Civil War" or "I have been unable to locate him in the 1910 Census, but he might have been in the National Military Home for the Disabled in KS" - something that actually contains a "clue". If we connect, *then* I'd be interested in hearing your "stories", otherwise, they mean nothing. No offense, but you're wasting your time and everyone else's, kwim? We're all here for the same reason, but it'll help everyone if people actually *read* what we take the time to share. You're doing good works, Deloris - thank you for caring enough to help others. It is often too easy for us to ignore "finds" that are irrelevant to our own family without taking the time to post it for others. I hope I can better follow your example in the future.

Why do you subscribe to this genealogy list? What would you be saying if all of Deloris' postings pertained to your family? Yes, Deloris changed her mind. Many people wrote to Deloris and requested her to continue to post because we are doing GREEN genealogy and want to learn more about our ancestors. This information is great. And you know what, none yet have been my family. This list is usually quiet. There are maybe 5-10 messages per month. Yes, it has been busier than usual, but for good reason. I can't understand why you let this annoy or bother you. There are others on this list who want this information. If information doesn't apply to your branch - use the delete button.
