Biography

Daughter of John Welles, married a Morton. Based on a 1595 marriage, her birth is estimated about 1570-1575

  • Etheldred Morton: The 1617 will of John Welles refers to "Ethedred Morto[n] ye you[n]ger", which suggests Etheldred's mother may have also been named Etheldred.[1]

This is confirmed by the 1595 marriage between William Morton and Etheldred Wells. Etheldred Wells married William Morton 13 July 1595, in Ringstead.[2]

Children:

  1. John Morton baptised 20 May 1596[3]
  2. Elizabeth Morton baptised 26 December 1597[4]
  3. Etheldred Morton baptised 18 December 1599[5]
  4. John Morton baptised 12 November 1609[6] In the bequest to grandson John Morton, it refers to his being under 12 years old: "I will yt his father shall have use of yt till ye said John be twelve yers of age". This is consistent with John Morton's 1609 baptism.

Bob, I realize you adopted this profile. I am trying to put the profile of her father John into order. John had dtrs. But I think we only know the given name of one. Looking at the changes, until the recent change of death date she had a death of 1635. Which would be in keeping with Isabel, who died shortly after immigrating in 1635, and evidently gets called Elizabeth sometimes. We could merge her with Isabel, or we could change the date of death to after 1618 (father's will), change her given name to Unknown and current name to Morton. There are other things that could be done with her, if you think she might be a relation. What do you think?

The other known daughter is Etheldred she married William Morton. I think changing her to Etheldred would be a great solution.

Wells-1837 and Wells-1077 appear to represent the same person because: same information, same parents, same person. There is no research I could find that has her date or place of death so they should be marked uncertain until a source is found.

Something is wrong with this person's birth year or parents. Her parents would have been age 13, and 5 when she was born.
