Mother: Elizabeth WOODSON |
He was a County Court Justice 1754-76, and again in 1785. He was
made Sheriff in 1776 and in 1778. He was one of the two
Commissioners of Revenue from 1786 to 1796, and a Delegate to
the Genera Assembly of Virginia 1777-78. John Morton and nine
other men of Prince Edward County met at the courthouse in June
1776 as the "Committee of Prince Edward" to consider the trends
of the times. (The events that were leading to the break with
England.) They met again in July, and, recognizing that the
break was inevitable, made rules and resolutions and
appointed a Committee of Safety for the County.
Bradshaw tells us: On Feb. 19, 1776 officers of the Second
Company of the Fourth Virginia Regulars were
commissioned. John Morton was made the Captain and Obadiah
Woodson, Jr. the Second Lieutenant. The payroll of this Company
for the month of June 28-July 28, 1776, has been preserved.
Capt. Morton received 8 lbs. and Obadiah 5 lbs., 8 shillings.
The sixty-three privates received 2 lbs. each.
John was voted 20 lbs., 10 shillings, to use for bounty money
and recruiting expenses in Prince Edward County. His Company
left Prince Edward Courthouse in March 1776. It was engaged in
skirmishes with Lord Dunmore's troops at Suffolk and at
Portsmouth. Capt. Morton and his men went by water to the head
of the Elk (in Maryland) and marched through Philadelphia and
Newark to New Brunswick, New Jersey, where it joined
Washington's Army after his retreat from Fort Washington. The
regiment was in the battles of Trenton, Princeton,
Brandywine, and Germantown, and was at Valley Forge in the
terrible winter of 1777-8.
John Morton was very active in the County after the War and held
many important offices, as I have listed above. Patrick Henry
moved to Prince Edward County after the War and John and other
important men of the County served with him in several
capacities. His influence was not restricted to civic and
military duties. He was active in the church and must have been
one of the first Presbyterians, as he did the preliminary work
of arranging places for Rev. Davis to stay and introduced him to
his cousin, Joseph Morton and his wife Agnes. Later, he was the
Ruling Elder appointed by the Hanover Presbytery to the General
Assembly of Virginia in 1773 to urge passage of the bill to
extend the Act of Toleration.
Among Captain John Morton's many achievements, the one which
lives the longest in the memory of his townspeople is the part
he played in establishing Hampden-Sydney College. He was on the
committee to draw plans and let contracts for the building, and
was one of the first Trustees. The story of the origin and
building of this college by the men of the Hanover
Presbytery is very interestingly told in Bradshaw's History.
Morton Hall, the present classroom building at Hampden-Sydney,
was the gift of Samuel Packwood Morton of Baltimore, in honor of
his ancestor Capt. John.
In 1780 he received a land grant of 4000 acres at Worsham in
Prince Edward County. His land extended from the courthouse to
the Buffalo River near Farmville. Most of these facts came from
Bradshaw's book. Mr. Bradshaw recommended a book by Womack
called Buffalo as an authentic source for the Morton genealogy,
but it is out of print and I could not find it at any of the
libraries."
John and Mary Elizabeth had fifteen children. The Virginia
Magazine of History states that eight of his sons served in the
Revolution.
1. Charles Morton, b. June 19, 1752, m. Judith Walker
2. Elizabeth Morton, b. Nov. 28, 1754, m. Jacob Woodson
3. James Morton, b. Sept. 8, 1756. According to a note I have,
he was on Washington's Staff and was also Lafayette's
Aide. He was called "Solid Column".
4. Hezekiah Morton, b. Nov. 28, 1757. I believe he married a
Coleman.
5. Benjamin Morton, b. Feb. 24, 1760, m. Agnes Morton. He
lived in Charlotte County.
6. Jacob Morton, b. Nov. 3, 1761
7. Josiah Morton, b. April 26, 1763. He moved to Kentucky.
8. Nathaniel Morton, b. April 9, 1765. He married Napoleon's
niece, Miss Patterson, of Baltimore.
9. Mary Morton, b. Sept. 28, 1766
10. Nancy Morton, b. May 16, 1768
11. Sally Morton, b. June 4, 1700, m. a Fuqua
12. John Archer Morton, b. Nov. 18, 1772, m. Clara Lee Henry,
daughter of the Governor of Haiti. He was Minister to France.
He attended the wedding of Napoleon and Josephine and brought
back the suit he wore to show his mother.
13. Richard Morton, b. Jan. 25, 1776
14. Obadiah Morton, b. Dec. 22, 1778, m. Eliza Ligon. They
lived at Morton Hall.
15. Patty Morton, b. Dec. 15, 1780. She lived at the Morton
home in Prince Edward County near Sandy Ford. We have excerpts
from her will.
