    1. MORTON or MORTEN
    2. Is anyone researching a MORTON family of Clermont Co.? I am interested in William MORTON who married Willimina CONKLIN. She was born probably 1802-1810, the dau. of Abraham and Jemima (LINDSLEY) CONKLIN of Columbia Twp., Hamilton Co., OH. MORTON is not my direct line but Willimina CONKLIN was the sister of my ancestor. In 1830, a William MORTON and family lived in Monroe Twp., next door to Isaac L. MORTON, probably his father. This is likely the correct couple since William and Willimina had a son named Isaac. There was one child in the household, a female under 5 years. In 1837, as William MORTEN, he and his wife of Clermont Co., sold her 1/9 share of her father's estate to her brother-in-law, William Tingley. A William Morton is indexed as living in Monroe Twp. in 1840 and 1860 but I haven't yet seen the 1860 census to determine if this is the right person. A Conklin genealogy states William and Willimina Morton had: Jemima, Susannah, Sarah, Emily, and Isaac Morton. I did not find Clermont Co. marriages (1850-1874) for any of these children under Morton or a variation of the surname, nor are they in the reconstructed marriages for Hamilton Co., OH. Judy Tooman
