Marji, Could you elaborate, please. When you refer to Morton "Parsons"/preachers, are you speaking of those in Virginia? If so,what counties? Also, what period of history? "My" line of Mortons were known as those from Orange Cty but they settled in other places around that same area and they settled in the Northern Neck of Virginia in the middle to late 1600's and then moved out to other counties. I also have heard that at least one was a Minister of the Gospel but don't know anything further at this time. Hope that you have further info.
