Melinda, I would need some dates to figure out if you are connected with my Mortons. I have a Norma Battle Morton who was born 3/25/1884 Waco, Mclennan Co, TX. The family was in TN 1822-1840, AL 1840-1850, MS (Tishomingo) 1850-1859, 1860-1869 Polk Co., AR, 1865 Waco, my 1st generation left Waco and moved out of Texas 1870 Census-Unknown, 1875-1880 Waco, Mclennan Co., Tx, 1886-1893 Houston, Harris Co., TX. I haven't been able to pin down who my 1st generation's(Sameul Gill Morton) siblings or parents are. He (Samuel 26, TN) was in the household of a Charles Moten, 36 TN, in 1850 Tishomingo along with his two boys from his 1st marriage. There was also a Ailys female age 70 born in SC. Perhaps this is his mom. Charles could be a sibling or cousin. I can e-mail you my family tree outline to see if you recognize any names.
