Biography

Mary Morton was an Alabamian.

The last known record for her is the 1880 census in Alabama.

Research Notes

There has been a conflation of Pollys in internet trees.

  1. This Mary was born in Alabama and may well have finished her life there. She seems to have stayed single all her life and stayed with her parents in Marshall County, Alabama. Her brother Joshua did die in Greer Co., Okla. It is possible she moved there with him after the death of their parents, but it hasn't been proven.
  1. She has been confused with Polly Ann Moulton who married a Reynolds. Dates 27 May 1826-17 May 1892 belong to Polly and have been removed. That Polly is buried with her husband in Mountain View, Kiowa Co., Oklahoma.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
