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.
