I feel like there is a possibility that Thomas may be child of Thomas and Vaney (Sylvina) Gilkey. Even though most of the family moved to Ohio, there were children of this couple who married in Maine (most of them in Northport.) Do you know of any descendants of Thomas Morton and Nancy Upham who may have migrated to Ohio? The reason why I feel that Thomas Morton could be a son of Thomas Morton and Sylvina Gilkey is because I have identified almost all of the children who fit the sexes and age groups of the children in the 1810 northport, Hancock County census, except one boy who falls in the same age group as your Thomas Morton who married Nancy Upham. It is definitely worth looking into. As you know from the marriage "record" of Thomas and Sylvina (Viney) Gilkey, Thomas Morton was from Bristol; however, I do have evidence of a deed transaction between John and Sylvine Gilkey and Thomas Morton for a parcel of land in Northport, Hancock County. John and Sylvine are the parents of Thomas Morton's wife. I sure would love to pursue this connection further with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
