I would greatly appreciate help in correcting the pedigree of my great great grandfather, Joseph/Joel Rice Morton, born 17 Jun 1819 Charlotte Co, VA, died 24 Feb 1891, Charlotte Co., VA, married Nov 1843 Prince Edward Co., VA (marriage bond) Martha Jane Foster 1824-1897, daughter of Stephen Foster and Elizabeth (Meadows) Foster. The marriage bond, the 1850 Prince Edward Co. census, and his son-in-law, Samuel Washington Daniel's family Bible show his name as Joseph R. Morton. All other sources, without documentation, show his name as Joel R. Morton. Joseph R. Morton is believed to be the son of Thomas Morton b. ca 1776 Charlotte Co., VA, d. aft 1843 in Charlotte Co., VA, and Nancy Boulton (Bolton) b. 1778, d. after Jun 1819. Joseph's marriage bond shows Thomas C. Morton, probably his brother, as surety. Thomas Morton ca 1776-after 1843, was the son of John and Elizabeth Morton, but some sources show he is the son of John Jr. (or Josiah, the son of Capt. John Morton) 1760's-1803 and Elizabeth Morton, others indicate he is the son of Capt. John Morton 1730-1796 and Mary Elizabeth Anderson, and one source shows him as the son of John Morton, Sr. and Elizabeth Frances Woodson. My files are filled with unlinked Morton information that I will be glad to share. Thanks for any help in clearing up this dilemma. Farrar Edwards
