Bruce, Have you the names of John Morton's children. Greenberry named a son John. I have seen that name in North Carolina records but cannot connect. Also the name Jehu stands out in our lineage. My grandmother told me the Mortons were from Scotland. They called her grandmother, "grandmother MOTON".

I have only reached John MORTON and have not yet looked for siblings or any other children other than my direct ancestor. My MORTON ancestors were all in Scotland until ~1910 when they all moved to London, UK.

John's descendants were John (b. 1731), Archibald (b. 1760), George (b. 1782), and George (b. 1825).

I am not discounting emigration during that timescale since so many Scots either emigrated because of the terrible hardships in Scotland or were transported (some as slaves).

I'll keep battling on!!

Thanks..keep me in mind if you run across my Mortons. George 1782 could be a possibility by the dates.
