All right, I knew that I shouldn't have opened this distraction. Bryant Morton, born circa 1704 in a place unknown, married 1727 in Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Mass., to Thankful Parker born 1708 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, Mass. They moved to Maine where they lived for some years in Cape Elizabeth and then circa 1750 moved to Gorham. Thankful died before 1771 when Bryant married Lucy White, the widow of Benjamin Chamberlain. Bryant died 1793 in Gorham. Lucy died circa 1813 in Gorham. Thankful Parker's parents were Benjamin Parker (1674-1720) of Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Mass., and Rebecca Lombard (1676-after 1720). Rebecca was from Barnstable, Barnstable County, Mass. The Lombards came to Massachusetts from Thornecombe, Dorset, England on the "Mary & John" in 1630. To the best of my knowledge (limited), Thankful was the only Lombard descendant from this line to go to Maine. I have kept the antecedant messages with this note for clarity's sake.
