Not to argue with your grandmother’s story, but John Morton died on his farm in Chester, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia today) in April 1777 of tuberculosis. He was the first signer to die. He left the farm and a few slaves to his wife and children, who were forced to flee to New Jersey when the British captured Philadelphia that fall.

"The surviving children of John Morton were as follows: Aaron, the eldest, married Frances, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Paschall Annitt. They lived in Delaware County for several years and afterward emigrated to Ohio."

sorry about that I guess i had the story wrong all these years, I guess she was tracing back how she ended up in Ohio the daughter of a steam powered riverboat pilot and I got the story fuzzed up..

grandma died when I was young she was in her late ninetys I believe. Dont know how I got it that mixed up,

well that made my day, finding out what i thought I knew turned out to be a lie, dammit

well it doesn't matter anyway my whole family is gone now, no one to even left to ask about it
