Notes

"A fine is preserved, dated Trinity 1577 wherein William Bradfurthe is plaintiff and Anthony Morton and Mary, his wife, are deforciants, and lands at Austerfield and Bawtry are at issue [1].

"Anthony Morton wasted the Morton Estate" [2]

Thoroton [3] in talking about Harworth in Bawtry has this to say about Anthony Morton:

This Town and Hamlets have been of long time the Inheritance of Moreton, an ancient and worshipful Family, until Anth. Moreton Esq (who paid in Queen Elizabeth's time 3s 4d for half a knight's fee in Harworth) wasted the Estate, he was the father of Robert Moreton who sold Harworth to Mr William Saunderson.

Thoroton lists the owners of the estates of Barten, Hesley and Harworth (all around Bawtry) in 1612 [4] as being Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbuy, George Chaworth, knight, Anthony Morton, Esquire....etc. Anthony Morton was therefore still alive in 1612.

Burial

Place: Harworth Chapel, Bawtry, Nottinghamshire, England

"Wealthy Catholic gentleman living near Bawtry or Harworth, not far from the little village of Scrooby, in Nottinghamshire, England." --Martha S. Winters

"William Bradford's first wife was very probably Alice Morton, a sister of the Anthony Morton from whom he bought land and houses. According to the Browne Reference (see below), William Bradford (c1515-1595) won these properties in a 'fine' where Bradford was a 'plaintiff' and Anthony Morton and his wife, Mary are 'deforciants'. The same article asserts that William Bradford's 1st wife was Alice Morton, sister of Anthony Morton, and that Anthony Morton was the grandfather of George Morton, the Plymouth Colonist. One of Anthony Morton's two sons was George Morton (the elder) who married Catherine Boun and had a son, the George Morton of Leyden and Plymouth, a member of the Seperatists, many of whom sailed to Plymouth on the Mayflower." George Morton was therefore, a second cousin to Gov. William Bradford. George sailed originally on the Speedwell which developed leaks and had to return to England, so he came later on the Anne in 1623. He married Juliane Carpenter, a sister of Alice Carpenter, the 2nd wife of Governor Bradford. Thus he was also a brother-in-law to Gov. William Bradford of Plymouth." --Phillips Verner Bradford.

(I) George Morton, the first of the name to found a family in America, and the ancestor of former Vice-President Levi P. Morton, was born about 1585, at Austerfield, Yorkshire, England, and it is believed was of the ancient Mortons, who bore for arms: Quarterly, gules and ermine; in the dexter chief and sinister base, each a goat's head erased argent attired or. Crest, a goat's head argent attired or. Hunter, in his "Founders of New Plymouth," suggests that he may have been the George Morton hitherto unaccounted for in the . family of Anthony Morton, of Bawtry, one of the historical families of England, and that from Romanist lineage "he so far departed from the spirit and principles of his family as to have fallen into the ranks of the Protestant Puritans and Separatists."

Anthony Morton is buried at Harworth Chapel at Bawtry, Nottingham, England; His parents could be Robert Morton & Alice Markham
