Trisha, I am a descendant of Rev. Samuel P. Morton of Anson Co. and Stanley Co. North Carolina. The information you sent in {Morton} MORTON letter is very interesting and sounds more reasonable than anything I have seen. How can I help? The books you mentioned, are they available? Are they for sale, or how could I get one through a library? Thank you! Billie, Wright Egleston bilriteg@ipa.net
