Research Notes

Notes from external profile

In the 1850 Census, she is listed living in the household of Harriet Morton age 50 or 51 born in New York. Phila is listed as age 72 and born in Vermont. Also living in this household are William Hall aged 12 and Harriet Morton aged 20. The elder Harriet could be Phila's daughter. In an nearby household is Manville Morton aged 29 born in New York with wife Martha aged 27 born in Ohio, a Daniel Morton aged 3 born in Ohio and a Harriet Morton aged 2 months born in New York. Manville may be the brother of the younger Harriet with whom Phila is living and therefor her grandson. Both families are living in Brandt, Erie County, New York in 1850. Further information on the Mortons is found in "Early Settlers of New York State" Vol II p 75 in the Tombstone Inscriptions from the Evans Center Cemetery, the same Cemetery Phila is buried in.

• Harriet S wife of Artemus W Sep 22, 1870 age 70y 8 mo
• Harriet Ann dau of Manville A
• Martha P Apr 1, 1852 age 2 (incorrectly transcribed as 1832)
• Martha dau of Manville A
• Martha P Mar 9, 1857 age 3 y 10m 11 d

There is an Artemus found in Virgil, Cortland County, NY in the 1830 Census with males aged 10-15, 20-30, 30-40 and 70-80 and females aged under 5, 30-40 and 70-80. We cannot tell which male is the head of household but it is likely the eldest male. It is possible the Artemus who died in 1850 is the male aged 20-30 as he would have been 26 in 1830 and may have been living with his parents at that time along with a married brother or sister and their children..
