Googled Ralph Laferty and this site was on the list. Would love to talk with someone about sources for the Laverty/Laferty and Stuart/Stewart family!

Virgil,
I want to thank you so very much for all your work here. It will add to our family tree for sure. My daughter found your site just a couple days ago while searching for Morton, among other names. Bernice was my mother's first cousin. I visited Aunt Hattie with Mom when I was young. Is any more information on descendants of the Mortons wanted? B.F. Morton and Mattie Dodds had 14 children, not 13. You're missing Hattie's oldest sister, Lettie, who married Cal Caswell. I have some information on most of the 14, as well as a copy of a photo.
I would be interested to know your source materials, especially for the older relatives' information. I have a gov't archives record of Alvin Morton's last battle and a Phillips Co. Centennial History (1972) with quite a few stories about the Mortons. Although Jason Morton was buried in New Hampton, Iowa, I believe Hannah Ellis Morton was the first burial in the Iowa Union Cemetery in Phillips Co.
