Ida Mae Morton was my paternal GMother. She lived next door to me most of my life. She was married to my Grandfather Jarrett Bruce Legg. They had nine children. Leticia Legg Price, Mollie Legg, Marjorie Sarah Legg Shaffer, Eva Scott Legg Allen Jarrett Woodrow Legg Vera LeggCrisp, Claude Bruce Legg, Vada Legg Shepherd and Robert Jamison Legg. My Grandmother told me that her father Rice w.t. Morton married Mary Jane Throckmorton his first cousin so she was then Mary Jane Morton. Rice Morton was a traveling Methodist Mi mister riding horseback through the hills of W.Va. to preach at different churches around the state.
