Seeking information about my GG grandparents, Joel (or Joseph) Rice MORTON b.1819, d. 1891, married 11 Nov 1843 Martha Jane FOSTER b. 1824, d. 1897, all in Charlotte Co., Virginia. Was Joel's name Joel or Joseph? Who were Martha Jane's parents and siblings and where were they from? Joel's parents were Thomas Morton and Nancy Boulton; his grandparents were John Morton, Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth. I have information about their descendants and will be glad to share, Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Farrar Edwards

Farrar, I am also searching for my MORTON family (without much luck). Some time ago I found a very helpful guy named Vern. He is also looking for Mortons. I remember him telling me one of his Mortons was named Joel. You might want to contact him on the off chance there could be a connection. His e-mail address was LVHOPKINS @aol.com. I wish you lots of luck. Ms. Cecil V.

Looking for any info on Thomas Henry Morton. Born April 14, 1898 -- probably in Vance Co., NC - and died in VA Hospital in Salisbury, NC in April 1968. Thomas was the son of Alexander and Katie Lucas Morton. He married Ellen Preddy abt. 1920 and they divorced before 1930. Last known residence (in 1950s) was Raleigh, NC. He is said to be buried in Lexington, NC. Siblings are said to include: Charlie, Lawrence, "Junior", Florence and Samuel. Samuel died in the early 1990s in GA. This line is my maternal grandfather. We have no other information on him. Renee W. Roderiques NC lines: Woods, Carrington, Pickett, Clinton, Vickers, Preddy, Blackley.

<< I am very interested in you posting. My great-grandparents were JAMES and JANE MORTON. >> Hi Cecil. Do you by chance know where James MORTON originated from prior to Arkansas? Thanks so much. Nina

Hello, I am very interested in the Samuel Morton and William Morton you mentioned. I feel sure my Rev. Samuel Parsons Morton fits in with this family some where. He was born 1807 in NC and died June 18, 1887 and is buried in Red Hill Cemetery, Stanley, Co. NC. He was in Anson Co. in 1850 and 1860. He was a minister and a school teacher. He was a minister at Rocky River Baptist Church and at Red Hill Baptist Church. I need to find who his parents were. Billie Egleston, bilriteg@ipa.net

Nina...Thanks a million times over. I will try the book stores online and maybe I'll get lucky and find this book or someone may have a copy and can help further. This is great news! Jean

Nina - Thanks for the additional information.

Naomi and Jean, there were a TON of Morton's from Blount County, TN who were descendants of William MORTON and his wife, Margaret Pharr (Farr). If you can find a copy of THE LOOKOUT MT MORTONs by Donna Morton Morgan (I think that's her name), you will find a lot of information about this line. Since they were in Blount County, I would think they might belong to this family. William was the son of Samuel MORTON and Ann HOLTON WALLACE (a widow) and was born in NC and lived in Buncombe County, NC. After the death of Samuel (he's buried in Cabarrus County, I believe), the family moved to Blount County. Much has been written about this one line and although I believe in my heart that one of the other brothers of William is my ggg-grandfather, I sure can't prove it. Good luck and Happy Hunting. Nina MORTON T.

Jean, Thank you for the inforamtion about your Rebecca. Mine would have been age 30 in 1860. My search continues.

Naomi, Sorry.....I dont have the maiden name for James David Morton's Mother...only her first name, Rebecca. However, tonight I did find my old notes, and she was in the 1860 Blount Co. TN census. her age was 48 (ca 1812). Jean

Hi, Jean. All my MORTON's come from TN (Union, Anderson, Knox Counties) and I'm really interested in your James David MORTON. In the 1830 Anderson County census there is a family of James MORTONs living nearby my gg-grandfather, David MORTON. Also nearby is a Tilda MORTON who I cannot place anywhere. Because your MORTON has both the names James and David, I'm so excited. Been trying to find out about this family forever. Send me a private email at kat3946429@aol.com and I'll share what info I have. Maybe we can tie this all together. Nina Morton T.

This is a LONG shot, but felt compelled to ask.

Hello Jean I am very interested in you posting. My great-grandparents were JAMES and JANE MORTON. They were in were in Arkansas and having children in Oct. of 1878. They had five children that I know of - the first four were born in Arkansas and the last (my grandmother) in Indian Territory, Oklahoma, in 1887. Could this be you family? If there is even a chance I will send you the information I have on the children. I will keep my fingers crossed until I hear from you. I have been working on them since I got interested in genealogy, but have not even found a crack in the wall. I hope to hear from you soon. Ms. Cecil V.
