Ian and Jackie, I recognized the "humble" as perhaps a village but the other term was new to me. Re: the Morton family: how far back can you trace from where you are living now? What about your parish records? Our family came from England in 1630's and settled in VA. There is considerable confusion about who came and where but our "progenitor" was a William. He came over when he was 20 yrs old, married an Anne and had 3 boys and 2 girls. We also have a John Morton who appears in the Northern Neck of Virginia in Northumberland County in 1694, bought property in Richmond County and began a long line of Mortons. I doubt very much that any of the early Mortons even thought about sending information back to England to be recorded at Parish level for they were to busy just living, with all that entailed. I do know who these Mortons are not!!! in terms of where they lived. They were faithful to the Church of England liturgy and not the Presbyterian form of worship. That fact, in itself, is helpful but still doesn't tell what their place of origination nor parentage. Does that help? In the early days of our country, there were a lot of Mortons in New England and Virginia, as well as Pennsylvania and subsequently in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and points west.
