About Mathias Mårtenson Morton
http://www.colonialswedes.org/forefathers/Morton.html
Excerpt from Craig, Dr. Peter Stebbins, "Mårten Mårtensson and his Morton Family," Swedish Colonial News, Volume 1, Number 13 (Spring 1996):
Matthias Mårtensson, born in 1669, was married in 1690 to Anna, daughter of Johan
Gustafsson and Brita Månsdotter. He built a log cabin at the Morton Homestead, adjacent to his
father's. Matthias' cabin is the oldest log cabin still standing in America today. He inherited the
Morton Homestead property with the duty to care for his father and stepmother, but died in
December 1708. His widow and children moved to New Castle County, where Anna married [2]
the widower Jonas Walraven, and [3] the widower Charles Springer.

Andrew Morton, born 1691, moved back to Ammansland to become the third owner of the
Morton Homestead, where he died after 1740. By two wives, Maria and Catharina (parents
not identified), he had five known children, the eldest of whom (Jonas, c.1714-c. 1781)
became the fourth owner of the Morton Homestead and built the ferry house which now
stands on the site of Mårten Mårtensson's original log cabin.
