Biography

Lucy Butler Morton, born 1755 Goochland Co., Virginia; married David Clarkson 1780 Albemarle Co., Virginia. David Clarkson was born 1767 in Albemarle Co., Virginia. He received a part of his father's place at the mouth of Priddy's Creek, where he died early.

Issue

Children:

• Joseph Morton Clarkson, born 1788 Albemarle Co., Virginia; died Alabama.
• Mary Clarkson, born about 1795; married James Collins 1 September 1823 Albemarle Co., Virginia. James was born about 1792.
• Nancy Morton Clarkson, born about 1796 Albermarle Co., Virginia; married Francis Catterton 2 October 1815 Albermarle Co., Virginia. Francis was born about 1795 Virginia.
• Elizabeth B. Clarkson, born 25 June 1798 Virginia; died 19 December 1882 Albemarle Co., Virginia; married Richard Durrett Simms, son of James Simms & Mildred Durrett, 1815 Virginia. Richard was born 25 November 1788 & died 15 May 1862 Albemarle Co., Virginia

Lucy's granddaughter was also named Lucy and her middle name was Morton.

Confusion: There is a Lucy Morton Clarkson that was born 08/10/1774 and died 04/29/1840 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She is listed as being the mother of Elizabeth Clarkson Simms 1798-1882. ^[1] For now, I'm going to assume the birth date is erroneous and I'm going to record the death date on this profile.
