You might wish to contact a Patsy JOHNSON at: [email protected] There is also a Scott MORSE at: [email protected] In any case, from the many who have postings, they seem to agree that Jonathan HOWTON or HOUGHTON was born around 1767 in England. As a 12 year old boy he got on board a ship and sailed to America about the time the Rev. War was ending. He is buried at Hell's Half Acre in Hopkins Co., KY. I also did notice that there was a Jonathan HOWTON in Hopkins Co. early on and that there were two land grants filed by a Jonathan HOWTON in the early 1800's in Hopkins Co., KY. Some seem to think that he married Ann E. TROVER in New Orleans, LA. Scott MORSE has her born abt. 1770 in Preussen or Harrisburg, Charlotte, VA which I don't quite understand. . Their first child, David was b. in PA on Feb. 26, 1789 and others were born in VA, in PA and in KY. His parents generally seem to be listed as George HOWTON b. 1730 in Warwick, England and his mother is listed as Mary HAROLD b. in England. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
