Nina, I am not too sure where my Jim/James Morton was born, but I believe Kentucky. On the 1880 Arkansas Census, Crawford Co., Alma Twp. I found the following; Name Age Occupation Born MORTEN, James 45 Farmer KY Jane 26 House Keeper AR John 17 Farm Laborer AR George 8 AR Cornealus 6 AR Lilly 1 AR I believe this is my family, but I can find no proof. I am sure that John and George are from a previous marriage. Jane would have been too young to have a 17 year old son. My grandmother had a brother named Neal and a sister named Lilly, but there was never a mention of any half-brothers. If what I have been told is true - they moved to Oklahoma around 1885 or 1886. My grandmother was born in 1887 in Indian Territory. From some papers I have I believe both Jim and Jane were dead by 1900. If any of this sound familiar to anyone I sure would appreciate hearing from them. Ms. Cecil V. Boyd At 03:27 PM 03/28/2000 EST, you wrote: ><< I am very interested in you posting.
