Messed up profile. It looks as though at one time she was d/o George Morton and his wife Phebe, but she has always had this death date. The Death indicates she was born 1645. She was probably not a Cooper, married only George Morton. "The Morton family tree" by Chauncey Morton and Betsy Pike assigns this George as an older son of George Morton, who came on the Ann. The cited George Morton of Plymouth Colony makes this George grandson of George who came on the Anne. Where Robert comes in is anyone's guess. Anyway she should probably be disconnected from Simon to whom she really doesn't belong. Objections?
