If your James Morton and son stayed in the Rutherford County area, then it's probably not my family, although one son of my ggg-grandfather (who is unknown and the source of my research) went to Rutherford County. My gg-grandfather, David MORTON, was born circa 1800 in NC and died in 1838. He had brothers Thomas and George that we know of, and a sister Mary Ann. All stayed in the Anderson/Union/Campbell county area with the exception of Thomas. Thomas was listed in the 1840 Anderson County census and then the family seems to disappear. I've been trying to find other NC Mortons who moved to TN and trying to tie them in to our line, but with absolutely no luck. There was a James MORTON listed in the 1830 Anderson County, TN census who is living near my gg-grandfather, David's, farm. George and Mary Ann had to be living either with him or with a Tilda MORTON who is also listed as living on an adjoining farm. I believe that Tilda must have died between the 1830 and 1840 census because my grat Uncle Wager said in his family write-up that Mary Ann lived on an adjoining farm. Either Mary Ann inherited the James Morton property or the Tilda Morton property. At any rate, thank you so very much for helping me with this. Blessings from Pittsburgh and have a great week.

Good luck in your searching. Nina, I am sorry to tell you this, but your first message came with a virus that McAlfee detected. You might want to check it out. It said something like this. "The file....Sorry ab.pif is a known trojan file." I was able to delete it. Hope it doesn't do anything to your computer. Early Mortons I have are John Morton who migrated from England, Married Joanne Hughes in Henrico Co., VA>John Jr. m. Elizabeth Morton, cousin>Stephen Morton , b. 1710, Charlotte Co., VA, d. 1793.
