Hello Nina, I don't know, but WE still are Methodists to this day, so at least our Morton side has carried on the tradition. I know there were some in SC (but I would have to check back through my records) and there were a couple of Mortons in Erath County, Tx. that were lay ministers. Marji Morton Do you know if the Methodist Church has records (and how far back?) on their ministers? Marji
