I can now say with absolute certainty that I know my MORTON Ancestry! A very kind person helped me last week with finding a death record that helped point me in the right direction. In today's mail I received numerous court papers from Clark County, Kentucky - that I ordered last April - and these papers confirm and add to what I have suspected. My great, great grandmother is/was Permelia Andrew MORTON who married Henry B. DAVIS in Clark County, Kentucky on 5 February 1824. James QUINSBERRY married them, according to the Marriage Register filed in Book I-W, page 202. Henry DAVIS and David B. YOUNG signed the bond.. Betsy MORTON writes a permission note for her daughter and calls Permelia/Pamella her daughter. A Polly MORTON attests to this. A Robert D. HART also signs. In Clark County Marriage Book I-W, page 149 Robert ADAMS and Sarah MORTON are shown married on 26 March 1817. Their bond is posted by Robert ADAMS and Samuel MORTON. E. KINARD(?) is shown to have married them. In Clark County Marriage Book I-W, page 176, Talton(Tarleton) FIELDER and Elizabeth MORTON are shown to be married on 29 March 1820 by James QUINSBERRY. 1 March 1822 Clark County, Kentucky Deeds, Deed Book 18, page 318, on 1 March 1822 Elizabeth MORTON purchased five acres of land in Clark County, Kentucky from John STRODE and his wife, Ruth. Probate Documents, Clark County, Kentucky, Probate Inventory 5 December 1833; Estate Settlement 22 September 1834. The Probate Inventory of Elizabeth MORTON was signed December 5, 1833; taken before the Clark County April Court 1834 and approved then. An Indentures was signed December 3, 1833, conveying Elizabeth MORTON's land to James STRODE. This Indenture was signed by the following: Robert ADAMS and Sally ADAMS of the County of Estill, KY; Tarlton FIELDER and Elizabeth FIELDER of the County of Estill, KY; Mariah MORTON of Clark County and Matilda MORTON of Clark County. Recorded in Deed Book 26, page 226, Clark County, Kentucky. On August 11, 1842, Henry DAVIS and Permelia DAVIS of the County of Adair, State of Missouri, signed an Indenture conveying their interest in Elizabeth MORTON's land to James Strode, recorded in Book 30, page 455. I was able to find a death record from "Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953" that lists the parents of Elizabeth MORTON FIELDER as Archy MORTON and Elizabeth MORTON. (Internet sites list this Elizabeth's maiden name as WOODALL.) Elizabeth MORTON FIELDER died on 27 December 1878 in Estill County, Kentucky. She was born circa 1799 in Clark County, Kentucky, all according to this record. So, what I do know: Permelia Andrew MORTON was also the daughter of Archy (ARCHIBALD?) MORTON and Elizabeth (Betsy MORTON) and she apparently had these sisters: Sally (Robert) MORTON ADAMS; Elizabeth (Tarleton) MORTON FIELDER; Mariah MORTON and Matilda MORTON. Does anyone know with certainty the parents of Archibald MORTON or his wife, Elizabeth? Samuel MORTON is shown on some Internet records but no source is listed for this. THANKS!!!
