Looking for ANY known siblings, parents, and relationships to any of the following persons:
William Herman Morton, born 23 Jan 1887 Milltown, Indiana
Married Leona M. Parker born abt. 1889-1891 in Indiana. Lived in Orleans, Orange County, Indiana.
Children:
1) Edmond G. Morton (Born: 1908)

Orleans, Orange, Indiana; Died: 30 Oct 1929 Orleans, Orange, Indiana as a young father of Rosemary Jeannette McCart abt. 1-2 years old, and unborn son, Robert Wayne McCart. When Wayne died after a sudden illness of cancer, the Morton's packed the family up, including their young widowed daughter Mary Christine (Morton) McCart, age 20 to Des Moines, Iowa. The McCart's are heavily researched.
I am primarily interested in the MORTON family and would like to know the parentage and lineage of William Herman Morton and his wife, Leona M. (Parker)Morton.
They show up on the 1930 US Federal Census in Des Moines, Iowa as a family unit the year after Wayne died.
OBITUARY WAYNE EDWARD MCCART:
Contributed by, Cathy Beard
Wayne McCart was born December 13, 1907 and in the bloom of early manhood he passed from this life to a heavenly rest October 30, 1929, at the age of 21 years and 10 months. His mother died when he was small, leaving him and his two sisters, Lula and Shirley to the care of his father, Edward McCart. He received his education in the public schools of Orleans, having completed two years in high school. He was married to Mary C. Morton September 18, 1926 and to this union was born a daughter, Rosemary Jeanette. Wayne was a good boy and gave evidence of the presence of God with him and though we lay the body away the real Wayne is living and is safe in the keeping of the Heavenly Father who is love. There leaves to mourn his going his wife and daughter, his father and two sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends. Services were conducted at the Baptist Church Friday, November 1 by Rev. F. C. Luedecke.

joseph morton manse Glasgow area C19 ship building link

kirsten2008 — 10 Aug 2008 1:30:55 GMT

My grandmother (now deceased) told me of her grandfather, Joseph Morton, who died in Derby in the early 1920s. She stated that he came from a family linked to shipbuilding based in Glasgow, but 'ran away' to work on the railways. He had told her he grew up at a manse in the Glasgow area. I'm afraid I know no more details, so this is a needle in a haystack. All I've found out, however, is that he is recorded as born in Peterborough, Eng., in 1851. And he was in Derby as a railway worker by 1891. I'm trying to trace any truth in what my grandmother was told - if anyone knows of anything that might validate this I would be very grateful!

Morton family

Anne Quinn — 24 Aug 2006 5:17:38 GMT

My Gr.Grandparents David Morton and Margaret Wilson lived in the townland of Corran in the Killashandra parish Co Cavan. They were both 70years old in the 1841 census making their births around 1770 and they married in 1790. Both said they were born in Co Cavan but I could not find either their births or marriage in the Killashandra Church of Ireland records. David's brothers were William and Edward and their father could possibly have been either Robert or John Morton. Does anyone have any Mortons from other parishes in either Co Cavan or Co Fermanagh that might tie into them? Any help would be appreciated.

MORTONs of Kinawley Parish, Ireland, MD, & PA in 18th century

George W. Page — 2 Mar 2005 3:34:08 GMT

The MORTON's probably of Derryvore or Drumboury Townland in the Parish of Kinawley in Ireland are well represented in the Kinaweley Parish Records from 1768- 1773. Edward Morton was the eldest of the five brothers who went to Philadelphia in 1765. John Morton emigrated to Philadelphia, U.S.A. with his brothers, Edward, William, Richard, and Thomas, in 1765. His parents, William Morton & Mary Downey, also went. Mary Doonan (Downey) the Godmother, was his sister.

John Jackman, b. 1745 probably in Ireland, married Margaret MORTON, the daughter of Edward Morton, possibly of Mullaghinchogar, Enniskillen, Ireland. John Jackman had three children married in the St. John's Episcopal Church in Baltimore Co., in 1771. John and Edward Jackman appeared in that county as early as 1768 when they signed a petition against moving the county seat. They probably immigrated together with the MORTONs in 1765.

THere were two MORTON marriages in that same church in Baltimore Co., MD:
10 Feb. 1771 Joseph Morton and Molley Shelby [Is he possibly the Joseph Morton who was the son of Edward & Jane Morton, and a sibling of Margaret Morton who m. John Jackman a few years later in 1780. Their other child was named Moses Morton.]
page 262

5 July 1771 John Morton and Sarah Harline [I don't know of a John Morton who was the son of Edward and Jane Morton.]

These MORTONs ended-up in Washington Co., PA after the Rev. War.

Does anyone have any more info about them?

John Morton the Co-Signor of the Declaration

Stephen E. Morton — 28 Dec 2001 3:54:43 GMT

For those interested I have a lot of information concerning John Morton the Co-Signor of the Declaration of Independence. The information is quite extensive and won't fit in these message areas. If you will send me a request for the info, I would be glad to compile it up in a text doc or MS-Word doc and send it to you.

I am interested in searching John's down line as I have been told by family members now passed that I am a direct descendant. Still trying to prove it though.

Thanks.

Chief Officer Neil McDougall MORTON

martinbriscoe57 — 22 Jun 2008 3:49:16 GMT

I was photographing war graves near Oban for the War Grave Photographic Project today.

One of the outstanding oneS that I did was Chief Officer Neil McDougall MORTON, the inscription on the grave seemed unusual so I looked it up when I got home and the incident was a major scandal at the time. The ship was torpedoed 200 miles from land, the 41 survivors were told to get on the hull of the U-Boat. The lifeboats were then sunk and most of them had their life jackets taken from them and all had their outer clothing taken. The U-Boat then submerged, there were only three survivors.

I have a picture of the grave if there is anyone connected to his family.

Moses Morton m. Adaline Devereaux, circa 1840, Western PA, Sugar Grove

goldiezadah — 9 Apr 2008 4:41:50 GMT

Hi,

I am looking for more information on the Moses Morton-Adaline Devereaux family. One problem I have is that I have seen many times a death date given for Adaline given some time in the 1800's but yet we have a reunion picture which has my grandmother and great aunt in it and they both identified Adaline in it. (See my Schram Family Tree if you wish to see it.) Of course, now they are gone so I can't re-ask them about it.

Also, many people on line have added two new children to Moses and Adaline's family. I have researched Sophronia and found her in the census and am satisfied that she is a member of the family and was missed in the "Genealogy of the Family of Jonathan Devereaux" but Elija Morton still remains a mystery. Does anyone know if he died early in life? Or anything else about him?

The picture of their son, Ernest Morton, in front of a phonograph is also on my pages which may of interest to someone. I try to get a many picture on line as I can to share with the community but it takes time. If you have time could you look at the original picture where the pictures of Adaline and Ernest came from to see if there any other Morton's you recognize?

While it was called a "Devereaux" reunion, Richard Devereaux's daughters brought their husbands and children and grandchildren to the reunion. I also believe this reunion took place at Moses Morton house. Does any one know where that was?

Thanks for any help.

Morton Family in Great Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York (1850-)

CarolDallas — 6 Aug 2007 7:02:20 GMT

Seeking to share information with other researchers interested in this Morton family. The given names include Hugh, Agnes, John, William, Gaven (Gavin), James, Jane, David, Mary, Alexander, Samuel, and Harriet. John Morton was married twice; his first wife was Jane Lindsay and his second wife was Sarah Simmons.

I am interested in proving the link I have made from the Gavin Morton who lived in Minnesota after 1870 and the Gavin in this John Morton family. There is another Gavin who is about the same age who continues to live in the Upstate New York area after 1870.

Any information you might have about any of these Mortons may help me with my research. Most of my information comes from on-line sources, but I will be happy to share what I have pulled together. I have information and sources that can bring the line forward to the present if I am able to prove that the Gavin in Minnesota is the son of John in Great Valley.

Stephen Morton, b. 1710

textilegoddess — 3 Mar 2008 6:21:36 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have been tracing the records of my Morton ancestors that came to Rutherford County, TN from VA in last years of the 18th century. James Blythe Morton (1758-1808) was the first of my line to be in Rutherford County, I think.

I found an article in the William & Mary Historical Quarterly that traced his line to John Morton (1650-1722) through his grandson (by John Morton, Jr. b. 1684) Stephen Morton (1710-1793). However, this article has no other information on Stephen Morton, except his birth and death dates. There is no record that I can find of whom he married, or anything else.

Here is a bit of text describing James Blythe Morton from the article ("Morton Family of Henrico, Prince Edward and Brunswick Counties, Virginia." James Walter Allen.
William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, 2nd Ser., Vol. 11, No. 3. (Jul., 1931), pp. 210-220.):

"James4 Morton (Steph3, John2, Johnl)
James5 and Joseph5 Morton witnesses to the will of Nancy Morton of Rutherford Co. Tenn. in 1823 were sons of James4 Morton born (circa) 1758 and his wife Catherine (Kitty) Wells. He was one of the youngest lieutenants in the Revolution and was from Charlotte Co. Va. In 1795 his daughter Judith married Owen Edwards in Henry Co. Va. He went to Tenn. circa 1800 and died in Rutherford Co. in 1808 and left will naming the following: wife Catherine, Son Joseph, son James Blyth and daughters Judith, Sally, Lucinda and Tabitha."

Does anyone out there have information on this Stephen Morton? The ancestry family trees seem to think that James Blythe Morton was John Morton's son (Stephen's brother), but this article says not. I am more inclined to believe an article in a scholarly journal than the hints. Thank you in advance if you have any information on him or this family!

(I am sorry about the formatting on this post. The board will not let me enter html and it won't recognize my paragraph breaks!)

Morton / Burns / Douglas / Kenney

dlcurtis74 — 27 Jan 2008 2:13:39 GMT

I am looking for information on Grace Morton, who married Thomas Kenney, and the Morton family tree from Scotland.

Grace Morton (said to be decendant from the Clan of the Black Douglas's from Scotland) was born in 1880 in Connecticut:

Her parents were Williams Morton and Jane Burns.

Grace's Father:
William Morton born 1845 in Scotland (married to Jane Burns, born 1848 in Scotland).

William Morton's Father:
James Morton, born in Scotland (married to Catherine Adams, born Nov. 1824 in Scotland).

Jane Burn's mother: Grace (Douglas)Burns

Mostly the family came to the US and lived in New Haven and Litchfield counties of Connecticut.

My Great Grandparents Thomas & Grace Kenney moved to the Bronx, NY because of a job for Thomas with the Gas Company (is my best guess).

After his 1st wife died he married Deborah and had the following children: Benjamin, Emily, Perry, Hirem Meeker & Sophronia. I'm trying to confirm his parents in OH. I have a letter from 1861 from his mother (I believe). No name, only that she lives in Mason, Warren Co. OH. If anyone has any information on this family in any of these three counties, please let me know. Thanks!

Mark Morton, Canada (possibly Ontario)

Neil_Smith1970 — 4 Jan 2008 3:53:03 GMT

Hi, I have recently discovered that my first cousin once removed was taken to Canada in September 1920 on board the SS Metagama with the Macpherson Party, an organisation that took poor & needy children from England & Scotland to Canada to train in various professions & 'distribute' them to families. The destination given on the passengers list is Marchmont Home, Belleville, Ontario. Further searching found that he was to be placed with a Mark Morton, but no other information is forthcoming. Does anyone know of a Mark Morton who would be living in the area around 1920?

My relation was Frederick Attwell b 1909, Old Windsor, Berkshire, England. He was living in a boys' home at the time.

Cheers

babyjackson1 — 8 Dec 2007 12:26:59 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to trace my husbands maternal family tree. His G Grandparents are William Lyons and Annie Lyons nee McCrae.

William Lyons married Annie McCrae in county Derry, Ireland on the 16th of May, 1875 (as per the details recorded on their son (Thomas Lyons - born Cambursland Scotland) birth certificate).

I believe both William and Annie were born in Ireland where they had some of their children and later travelled to Scotland and had more children. I am unsure where or when they died.

Any information in relation to this family would be greatly appreciated.

I would also love to hear from any descendants.

Thanks Rebecca

Mortons from Manchester

My grandfather was George Edward Morton, born around 1901, married to Theodora Thornhill on 12 Jul 1924 in Manchester. His father was Archibald Morton, who was a shopkeeper (grocery), according to the marriage certificate (they divorced later). Does anyone have any information on this family? I have very little, but am working hard on my research.

Morton/Waterman/Crafts in Ohio- photo book

I was at an antique sale today and found a unique little 2 by 3 inch photo-book which belonged to Susie C. Morton Pierce. Each picture is labelled neatly with a name, and their relation to Sue Morton. I looked up her genealogy (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:320851...) to see if I could find it online.

The pictures included are of herself(2); her parents Martha E. Waterman and Henry Morton; her sister Emma M. Morton; her grandparents Susan A. Crafts and William Waterman; her great-grandfather Reverend Ashley Crafts; and another picture at the end which the name is missing on. There is an empty slot labelled Fred Henry Morton, her brother.

If anyone is interested in seeing this, etc. please let me know by responding to this or emailing me (jadey213@yahoo.com). Thanks!
