Bill, Don't recognize any of those names. My George must have dropped in from outer space. Can't find where he came from. Oh, well! Gives me something to search for I guess. Thanks anyway!

Kenni, Rev. Samuel P. Morton had a son named George A. Morton. In 1860 he was 18 years old and at home with his father and step mother in Anson co. NC. He was living in Hebron, Texas in 1910. He must have known someone there as his parents never left NC. Do you find the name Wincie in your family anywhere? That was my grandmother's name and I had never heard it before. Recently, I learned the Elizabeth W. Morton (a daughter of S.P. Morton) was Elizabeth Wincie Morton. She would have been an aunt to my grandmother. I have found that name among other S.P.Morton descendants. Just a thought. Billie

Kenni, I have a George Washington Morton b. 1811in NC d. 1875 in Etoile,TX near Nacogdoches, TX. He was somehow kin to Winship Morton (my direct line). Winship was b. 1784 somewhere in NC d. 1860 in Etoile, TX. Does this fit anywhere with your G.W.? Mary Morton Gustine

Billie, I have a George Washington Morton born in NC around 1806. Have been unable to find anything else about him. He was married to Arrena Nunn. Would you have anything about a GW Morton? Would appreciate any help. I have a lot about his family and would be willing to share.

Billie, Trisha There was a Levi Parsons Morton who was VP to Benjamin Harrison in 1888 and also Gov. of NY 1895-6. I suggest you investigate the Parsons family for some connection. This might also be true for the person looking for "Parson" Morton, although there were several Morton preachers, Parsons Morton as a name is also a possiblity. Betty T.

Trisha and Billie, I don't know if this info applies, but somewhere I read that a John Trockmorton, b. 7/20/1823, son of Thomas and Emelie (Young) Throckmorton, left his wife and family (Nicholas Co. WV, I think) and moved to another county, changing his name to John T. Morton, where he re-married and raised another family. I have seen the name spelled Throgmorton and Frogmorton. I have looked at them because, like you, I am trying to find the VA Mortons that were ancestors of my Indiana clan of Richard, Nancy, Elizabeth and Jarrod Morton. Anyone got any Jarrod/Jered/ Girod/Gerard Mortons out there? Betty T.

The Strother line that has come into our Hammett line was probably in Culpepper and Fauquier Co., Va. at that time frame. Maybe your Morton was there. I am a Morton from halifax, N. S.

Dear Kay, There was a Rev. Culpepper minister at Rock River Baptist Church before Rev. Samuel P. Morton. Sounds reasonable that they may have been from Culpepper, VA as towns are often named for people. - - -Billie

Melinda, Rev. Samuel Parsons Morton was born 1808 in NC, probably in Montgomery Co. He died 1887 in Stanly Co. NC. He was a minister at Rocky River Baptist Church, Anson Co. and at Red Hill Baptist Church in Stanly Co. NC where he is laid to rest. There was a William Morton in 1790 census records in Montgomery CO. NC. Rev. Samuel P. Morton had a daughter named Elizabeth W. Morton. Hope this helps. Billie

Pioneer-Cherokee Heritage Series Vol.#3" written by Don L. Shadburn. I believe that she found the book listed under Forsyth County, Ga. rootsweb pages. On page 695 the following information was found. Nelly Martin,nee Morton, a white woman, had children by Samuel Martin, a mixed-blood Cherokee and a half-brother of Thomas Buffington and the Fawling brothers, John and William. A daughter, Mary Ann Martin, married to Jesse Howell, a whilte man, and had three children before their divorce.(one of the earliest divorces in GA) When I found BUFFINGTON/MARTIN/HOWELL/THOMPSON AND THROGMORTON on the same pages in 1782 Hampshire Co.,VA census I decided that there had to be a connection with my MORTON because Nelly Morton was the dau of Marshall Morton my last known MORTON.

I am still searching for data on Elizabeth Battle MORTON b. 1768 place unknown who supposedly the d/o "Parson" MORTON. Elizabeth was the w/o James Storke STROTHER and they married 8 May 1788 in Fairfax Co., VA. James S. STROTHER was a RevWar veteran. Thanks for any help. Melinda Larson

Is anyone researching Mortons in NC that have branches in the Franklin County area circa 1900s? I have Alexander Morton married to Katie Lucas living in Franklinton, NC in 1910 and 1920. Alexander was born abt 1871 in Franklinton and Katie born in NC abt 1874. They are listed with the following children: Thomas Henry Morton (born April 14, 1898, died April 1968. Married Ellen Preddy before 1922; divorced before 1932.) Charles S. Morton (born abt 1902) Andrew Morton (born abt 1906) Oza Morton (born Abt. 1907) Sam Morton (born 1912. Died in GA after 1985) Alexander Morton (born abt 1918) There may have been a later son named Lawrence. Oza may have gone by the name Florence, or there was a later daughter named Florence who married a Poole and lived in Raleigh, NC in the 1960s. Alexander (son) always went by "Junior". I have not been able to find any evidence that any of these people are still alive. (And, ironically, with the exception of Thomas and Sam, I can't prove they're dead, either!)

I am thrilled at all the communications re the Morton family. I have been researching in other directions and frankly, thought I was alone in my search. I should have known better but now having found the web site: /genforum.geneealogy.com/morton, etc., I am delighted at all the response. Let's keep up the dialogue and those of us who are still searching will, I am sure, learn more about the Morton family. Thanks to all, Peggy Fountain Taylor

Trisha, Thanks for your response. I will get back to you via your e.mail but for now let me note that I am almost 100% sure that the NC branch is not ours. Our family went from Orange Cty, Va to Ky and then in the early 1900s to TN. There may have been family members that went to NC but generally they stayed in VA. Keep looking, for you may find some connection to the VA family. Peggy Taylor

I know that our family went from Virginia to Kentucky and then to Tennessee. The paternal line stopped with William dy, the son of William Ragland Morton, son of William Morton b abt 1763 d abt1808 in Russelville, KY. The family was known as from Orange County, VA. I think that your line may be different from mine. Thanks for the information, however. PFTaylor

I realize from the MORTON book written by Gladys Morton Mitchell that "We know that our MORTON line came to USA with Rev. William Marytn" but I have been unable to find any connection further back than Marshall MORTON, Sr. While reading the book "Unhallowed Intrusion" written by Don L. Shadburn, I found this information. (BUFFINGTON, Thomas and FAWLING, John and William) were half-brothers to Samuel Martin, who was possibly married/or lived with Nelly MORTON. I had found in 1790 Newberry District, SC Census Marshall MORTON on pg 078, George Martin, pg 078, Patrick Martin,pg 078 and Samuel MARTIN, pg #080. and a Peter Buffington on page #77. But this is as far back as I could go. Then I decided to search the name BUFFINGTON because it was less used as a surname. Then I find in 1782 HAMPSHIRE CO, VA. the following: BUFFINGTON, THOMAS, pg 27 MARTIN, SAMUEL, pg 27 MARTIN, GEORGE, pg 25 MARTIN, DAVID, pg 27 THROGMORTON,LEWIS, pg 27( could this possibly be?) Also, I find in research that the THOMPSON/THOMSON families were in both these census( My William MORTON,SR. was married to Elizabeth THOMPSON. He was the son of Marshall MORTON, SR.) The Thompson families also moved to NE ALA with the MORTONS. THOMPSON,FRANCIS,pg 27 THOMPSON,ABRAHAM,pg 27 THOMPSON,SAMUEL,pg 27 There are many more Martin/Thompson/Thomson's on pages 25 and 26 but only one THROGMORTON. The correct spelling would probably be THROCKMORTON.

Trisha, I am a descendant of Rev. Samuel P. Morton of Anson Co. and Stanley Co. North Carolina. The information you sent in {Morton} MORTON letter is very interesting and sounds more reasonable than anything I have seen. How can I help? The books you mentioned, are they available? Are they for sale, or how could I get one through a library? Thank you! Billie, Wright Egleston bilriteg@ipa.net
