Marriage certificate of Henry Hanton and Maria Morrison (see D-2 in file of Henry Hanton, 1887) gives Maria's father's name as "John."

Death certificate of Maria Morrison (D-4 in file of Henry Hanton, 1887)

gives Maria's father's name as "Archibold Morrison." (The informant was Olive Hanton, and the "o" in "Archibold" was indeed on the death certificate.)

Chart sent by Catherine Isabel Hanton, summarizing information from John Thomas, Earle and Lloyd Hanton, suggested that Archibald was born in N. Ireland, married near Belmonty, N. Ireland, and died in Holyoke,

Massachusetts.

Conversation with Lloyd Hanton (b. 1915): Said that Archibald Morrison

came to the U.S. to escape persecution from Catholics in N. Ireland. Believe he was married before coming here, and might have had several children before the voyage. Confirmed that they came from Belmonty, N.

Ireland.
