Biographical Notes |
Note: Ann Morton Anderson may have been the daughter of muslin manufacturer Adam Morton, who in 1841 (born about 1788) lived on Newmilus Street in Loudoun, Ayrshire. If this is correct, then her mother was Janet 35 (1806), who would have been the second wife of Adam because his oldest child at home was James 25 years old; and Janet was too young to have been his mother. James was a muslin foreman, obviously in his father's factory.
The children were as follows: James 25, Jean 20, Marion 20, Ann 15, Janet 13, Mary ten, Adam nine, Susan seven, Christiana five, Robert three and William four months. The first three children had a different mother because Janet was too young to have borne them.
