George Morton
b. about 1585, d. June, 1624
- Relationship: 9th great-grandfather of Steven George Levine
- Reference: 3424
- George Morton was born about 1585 in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England. He early joined the Pilgrims at Leyden, and continued of their company until his death. When the first of the colonists departed for America, Mr. Morton remained behind, although he "much desired" to embark then and intended soon to join them. As he was a merchant, possibly his business interests caused his detention, or, what is more probable, he remained to promote the success of the colony by encouraging emigration among others. That he served in some official capacity before coming to America is undoubted. One writer states that he was "the agent of those of his sect in London," and another that he acted as "the financial agent in London for Plymouth County."1
- He and Juliana Carpenter published their marriage intention on July 16, 1612.2
- George married Juliana Carpenter, daughter of Alexander Carpenter and Priscilla Dillen, on July 23, 1612 in Leyden, Holland, as shown by the entry in the Leyden Records : "George Morton, merchant, from York in England accompanied by Thomas Morton, his brother, and Roger Wilson his acquaintance, with Juliana Carpenter, maid from Bath in England, accompanied by Alexander Carpenter, her father, and Alice Carpenter, her sister, and Anna Robinson, her acquaintance."3
- The work for which this eminent forefather is most noted, and which will forever link his name with American history, is the publication issued by him in London, in 1622, of what has since been known as "Mourt's Relation." This "Relation" may justly be termed the first history of New England, and is composed of letters and journals from the chief colonists at Plymouth, either addressed or intrusted to George Morton, whose authorship in the work is possibly limited to the preface. The "Relation" itself is full of valuable information and still continues an authority. Shortly after it was placed before the public, George Morton prepared to emigrate to America, and sailed with his wife and children in the "Ann," the third and last ship to carry what are distinctively known as the Forefathers, and reached Plymouth early in June, 1623. "New England's Memorial" speaks of -Mr. Timothy Hatherly and Mr. George Morton as "two of the principal passengers that came in this ship," and from Morton's activity in promoting emigration it may be inferred that the "Ann's" valuable addition to the colony was in a measure due to his efforts.4
- He did not long survive his arrival, and his early death was a serious loss to the infant settlement. His character and attainments were such as to suggest the thought that had he lived to the age reached by several of his distinguished contemporaries, he would have filled as conspicuous a place in the life of the colony. The Memorial thus chronicles his decease :
"Mr. George Morton was a pious, gracious servant of God, and very faithful in whatsoever public employment he was betrusted withal, and an unfeigned well-willer, and according to his sphere and condition a suitable promoter of the common good and growth of the plantation of New Plymouth, laboring to still the discontents that sometimes would arise amongst some spirits, by occasion of the difficulties of these new beginnings ; but it pleased God to put a period to his days soon after his arrival in New England, not surviving a full year after his coming ashore. With much comfort and peace he fell asleep in the Lord, in the month of June anno 1624."2

- Isaac married Anna Barber in 1774.2
- Family tradition states that he was a member of the Boston Tea Party, and was an ensign in a Boston company at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. He enlisted as a private in the revolutionary army, April 5, 1776, apparently (according to the records of the United States war department) in Captain Samuel Bradford's company, Twenty-third regiment, Continental troops, raised in Massachusetts. "His name appears on an undated pay roll of the company, which shows that he received pay for September, October, November and December 1776, but affords no further particulars relative to his service," says a letter from the chief of the record and pension office, war department, Washington, D. C. The records of the family also show that he served as an ensign and as a captain. The chief of the record and pension office, above mentioned, further states: "The records also show that one Isaac Morton served as an ensign and as a lieutenant in the Tenth Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Colonel Thomas Marshall, Revolutionary war. He was commissioned ensign November 6, 1776, promoted to be lieutenant November 1, 1777, and discharged December 4, 1777." From the records of revolutionary war service in the office of secretary of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is learned that "Isaac Morton appears with rank of captain on muster and pay roll of Colonel Thomas Poor's regiment. Engaged July 8, 1778; discharged October 2, 1778; time of service, three months seventeen days, including twelve days (two hundred and forty miles) travel home. Company commanded by Lieutenant Zaccheus Thayer, subsequent to October 12, 1778. Regiment raised for the term of eight months from time of arrival at Peekskill." He "appears among a list of officers of Suffolk county militia appointed to command men raised for various purposes. Said Morton detached for service at Peekskill. Commissioned July 14, 1778." He "appears in an account rendered against the state of Massachusetts by said Morton, Captain, for state pay for service from July 14, 1778, to October 24, 1778, 3 months, ? days, at North river. Reported" a supernumerary officer." He "appears with the rank of Captain on pay roll of Capt. Isaac Morten's company, Col. Thomas Poor's regiment, for September, 1778, dated Fort Clinton, November 14, 1778." He "appears in a copy of a regimental order dated West Point, October 12, 1778. Said Morton and others reported as having been discharged by Colonel Poor from any further service in his regiment, agreeable to General Washington's orders. Rank, captain." The records of the family state that Captain Morton served throughout the war, eight years in all, in the army and navy ; also that he drew a pension of twenty dollars a month. At the close of the revolutionary war Captain Morton removed from Boston, Massachusetts, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, engaging in the bread and sea biscuit baking business. In 1798 yellow fever appeared in Portsmouth and he removed to Exeter, New Hampshire, where he continued the baking business, his son William, then about twelve years old, delivering the bread to customers.1
- He, like his father, died suddenly on September 24, 1824 at age 70 . It is said that he was sitting in a chair down by the old Piscataqua bridge, telling his revolutionary yarns, when he fell backward dead.1
- Captain Isaac Morton and Anna Barber were buried in Proprietors' cemetery, Portsmouth, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, As the graves of Captain Morton and his wife are the.3
