Hello Everyone,
My MORTON branch has all been located in Durham and the research has gone back into the middle 1700's. They were all coal miners. My Great Grandfather came to the the USA c1860. He fought in the Civil War and then made his living as a coal miner. Interesting tidbit, my Grandfather was also a coal miner along with all of his sons. His daughter (my Mother) met my Dad and when she found out he WASN'T a coal miner, she was interested in him. Needless to say, they got married..............
