THOMAS1 MORTON1 was born Abt. 1790 in Bristol, Maine, and died Bef. 1870 in Camden, Maine. He married NANCY UPHAM November 23, 1815 in Bristol, Maine2, daughter of EPHRIAM UPHAM and BETSEY GREENLAW. Notes for THOMAS MORTON: In "The vital records of Old Bristol and Nobleboro in the County of Lincoln, Maine", Thomas is listed as Thomas the 2nd when his marriage intentions were filed. There are two other Thomas' listed in the marriage records; Tho(ma)s and Vaney Gelkey of Long Island, intentions, June 10, 1792 and Thomas and Betsey Studley, May 6, 1800. This would imply that Thomas Morton and Vaney Gelky might have been the parents of Thomas the 2nd. This is UNPROVEN. Thomas is in the 1850 and 1860 census for Camden, Maine but not the 1870 census. As near as I can tell Camden and Rockport were consided one place. Notes for NANCY UPHAM: Age 82 at death. Born 1794? Children of THOMAS MORTON and NANCY UPHAM are: i. MARY2 MORTON, b.
