Would anyone have any information about  Baptist Morton who died in 1851. He lived at Derrynoose, County Armagh. Would be grateful for any snippet of information on him.

this is available via the The newspaper library Colindale London, which is available to see for a fee at several websites but I would think the Armagh museum may well have a copy   Killylea ia about 6 miles north of Derrynoose  Church of ireland records exist at both Derrynoose and Killylea and i wondered if there was some link
