Jan - Wish I had more to offer you on the THOMPSON line. I just found my Elizabeth THOMPSON B abt 1790( in SC) who married my William M. MORTON B abt 1787/88 also in SC. Their first child was born ABT 1812(William M. Morton, Jr.) When the MORTONs and THOMPSONs moved to Blount Co.,AL they lived close together. The 1830 Census for Blount Co.,AL shows my William M. Morton, Sr.,his father William Morton, Sr., and assorted brothers living in same area as John Thompson, Joshua Thompson and William Thompson. Marshall Morton, Sr. was found on page 8, Joshua Thompson on page 9. Still don't know how to put the Thompson family together. Can't tell who were brothers,uncles or father to my Elizabeth Thompson but they must be family. Found all of them in Pickens,SC before their move to NE Alabama. Good luck on your search.

Patricia and Jan, I believe these Mortons are in my line. My cousin, Carol, knows these far better than I do. You may want to contact her at Sixpalz@aol.com. Some of the Mortons married into the Nelson line in Marshall and Blount/Etowah Counties. Also have another cousin who is direct descendent of the Mortons who moved into Clay County and other AL counties.
