I am trying to figure out who Samuel Gill Morton /Moton / Moten 's parents and siblings are. The only clue I have is from the 1850 Tishomingo Co., MS Census. Samuel had lost his 1st wife and had two boys. He was living in the household of Charles C. Moten. The household also had a 73 year old female born in SC. Her name is Ailsy. The writting is difficult to make out, so Ailsy might not be the exact spelling, likewise with the head of the household, Charles C. I have included my Morton Family Report through generation 3. We have also found a G.W. Morton who married 1 year later in Tishomingo Co.,MS to Nancy C. Carelack (12/2/1852). He also migrated to McCleanan Co., TX like Samuel G. Morton. G.W. Morton died at age 77 on 4/3/1907 and Nancy C. died 3/5/1892. So, I'm trying to figure out if Sameul and G.W. Morton are family. Descendants of Samuel Gill Morton Generation No. 1 1.

Someone gave the birthplace of the girls as TN (not GA), but maybe that's questionable data if the parents were deceased.

She was born March 16, 1863, and died August 15, 1941 in Plainview, Hale Co., TX. Notes for BERRY BUCKANON MORTON: In 1902 Berry "Buck" and his wife, Annie McFee along with their seven children came to Running Water, Hale Co., from Lorena, Hill Co., TX. They came to Canyon by train with all their worldly belongings. When they reached Canyon, the family and belongings had to be freighted by wagons and the stock had to be driven. It is believed that Buck purchased the old Estes place. They lived on this place for a period of about six years. In 1908, Buck bought the section of land located one miles south of Running Water on the draw. This place didn't have a house on it, so Buck moved his family to a rented house in Running Water until he could build a house. The best of yellow pine that could be bought at Fulton's Lumber Co. in Plainview was bought for a new two-story house with nine rooms, a hallway, and a run-around porch. This material was hauled out to the site by mule-drawn wagons. Buck raised mules for sale for freight. In 1918 the family sold their farm for $75 an acre and moved to Plainview where Buck continued to farm and raise mules. In the 1900 McLennan Co., TX census, I found: Buckhanon Morton, W, M, DOB 11/1856, MS, 43yo,married 22 y, Farmer, own farm, father-TX, mother-TX Annie, W,F,DOB 11/1863, TX, 37yo, mother of 9, 8/9 alive, father-Delaware, mother-MS Hugh H.,W,M, DOB 8/1880, TX, 19, Single, 3 mo of school, can read, write and speak English Cassie,W,F,DOB7/1882, TX,17,Single, 4 mo of school, can read, write and speak English Norma, W,F,DOB 4/1884,TX,12, Single, 4 mo of school, can read, write and speak English Ella, W,F,DOB 2/1891,TX,9, Single, 4 mo of school, can read, write, and speak English Roy, W,M,DOB 12/1892,TX,7,Single, 4 mo of school, can read, write, and speak English Guy, W,M,DOB 10/1894, TX, 5, Single, can speak English Lois, W,F,DOB 1/1897, TX, 3, Single, can speak English More About BERRY BUCKANON MORTON: Burial: Unknown, Plainview, Hale Co., TX Cause of Death: Melanoma Cancer Census: 1900, Waco, Mclennan Co., TX, Ed 68, Vol 75, sheet 8, line Notes for ANNIE CECELIA MCFEE: Annie was hit and killed by a car as she crossed the street to retreive her mail from her mailbox.
