George Morton

b. about 1585, d. June, 1624
  • 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 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

Joseph Morton1

b. October 25, 1711, d. July 26, 1793
  • Reference: 0214
  • Joseph Morton was born on October 25, 1711 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.2
  • He was the son of Joseph Morton and Mary Chittenden.1
  • Joseph Morton and Anna Bullock published their marriage intention on August 2, 1738 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and 26 Aug at Rehoboth.3
  • Joseph married Anna Bullock, daughter of Samuel Bullock Jr. and Ann Salisbury, on September 4, 1738 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, by the Rev. David Turner, as his first wife.3
    Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, Volume 3
  • Joseph Morton was among those members of the First Parish in Plymouth who, in December, 1743, withdrew, during the Great Awakening, because of their disapproval of Whitefield’s preaching and methods, formed the Third Parish, and built a Meeting-house in Middle Street (Precinct Book 1719-1813, p. 36.) The two Parishes re-united in 1784.

    Joseph Morton settled in Boston, where he kept the White Horse Tavern, opposite Hayward Place. The White Horse Tavern estate had a frontage on Newbury (now Washington) Street, opposite Hayward Place, of 114 feet (including Fayette Court, 11 feet wide, which almost evenly divides it), and a depth of 308 feet from Washington Street nearly, if not quite, back to what was later Head Place. The site was intersected by the laying out of Haymarket Place, in 1806. The front portion of the estate is now numbered 597 to 611 Washington Street; and the Tremont Theatre occupied a part of the rear of the lot.

    The hostelry was called the White Horse Inn as early as 27 April, 1700 (Deed from William Paine et ale. to Thomas Powell in Suffolk Deeds, xix. 347.) William Bowdoin conveyed the estate to Joseph Morton 20 March, 1765 (Ibid. civ. 89) ; and Morton conveyed it to his son Perez 3 May, 1791 (I bid. clxix. 224.)4
  • Joseph married Abigail Hersey on December 27, 1759 in Boston, Massachusetts, as his second wife.5
  • Joseph died on July 26, 1793 in Groton, Massachusetts, at age 81. His will, dated 31 March, 1787, was proved 8 October, 1793. It names his son Perez Executor and is replete with valuable genealogical data. (Sufiolk Probate Files, No. 20,211.) Cf. Davis's Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, p. 190.3
