Not clear about county of residence. Geographic location of Bellevue makes Erie Co a possibility. Not clear if the Morton family was a cousin of Gershom or Zebulon. The wife of Gershom Hall was possibly Keziah Atwood Gibbs and earlier possibly a lady named Sarah Zebulon’s father Loammi Hall, son of Gershom Hall died in Perry Center NY 1823. It is possible the cousin may have been from his mother's side. She is reported to have been Sarah (Sally) Deuel (or other close spelling) who married Loammi Hall in Onondaga Co NY abt 1815. The second marriage of Sarah was to George Barber, Perry Center NY abt 1827. Second cousins of Zebulon are possible as Gershom the son of Jabez & Hannah Lyon Hall of Lanesborough, Berkshire Co MA. had in addition to Loammi the following children: Rhoda b abt 1741 who married Abial Platt, Hannah who married Caleb Burton 1st, then Osborn, John b Jan 1753 who married Phebee Benedict, Elizabeth b 16 Feb 1754 who married William Lewis, Lydia b abt 1755 who married Stephen Northrup, Calvin b 27 Dec 1759 who married Marcy (Marcy) Barnes, Ezra b 5 Jan 1762 who married Thiphena Sprague, Abrigal b abt May 1764 who married William Pitts Baker. The undocumented family history states Gershom died 1837 while visiting the Morton family in the Bellevue OH vicinity. Gershom was a Rev. War vet but did not apply for a pension. I'm looking for help to verify the death story and locate additional Morton relatives.
