Welcome to the Morton Heritage Blog

This blog will document the ancestry of the Mortons of Moore County, Texas all the way back to 17th Century England. For privacy sake, we will not document anyone born after the turn of the 20th Century. Although eventually we may branch out, for now I would like to limit the blog to the direct Morton ancestors, their spouses, and siblings. Please feel free to leave comments if you have any other stories or information. Every Ancestor considered official by this blog must have independent verification beyond inclusion in someone else's family tree therefore evidence such as census or marriage records will be provided. Since we have become so scattered I thought this would be a good way to help remember where we come from and help us teach our kids what ties us together.

Generation 2 in America


As stated, Thomas Morton was the next in our direct line and the first born in North America (although the USA didn't exist yet obviously.) Thomas was the second of three boys according to all the records I have seen so far. The first was John2 Born 1689. Thomas was born in 1690 and then Joseph was born in 1693.

Here are some references to records that further verify the marriage date, parents, and one son (Capt. John.) It also shows a connection from our family to the Randolph family.


I haven't done any research on these siblings since I am concentrating on the direct line first with a few exceptions.
