This family is detailed in the LAUGHLIN Story.
Annie Morton was born in Cass County, Missouri 1861 at the time during the Civil War that was so turbulent along the state line between Missouri and Kansas. Conflict between the Secessionists (Southern Sympathizers) and the Unionists.
Annie's father had come from Kentucky in the late 1850s and we believe they went to Kentucky so that he could serve with the Confederates, but have found no Military records. Two children were born in Kentucky according to 1870 census, in 1867 and 1868.

Warren C. Morton was known as "Cash" Morton (on Annie Morton's death certificate). As a result, records were hard to find.
In Shelby County Kentucky we found Warren C. Morton listed with his mother and younger brother, Robert T. His father having died in 18__. Several of his brothers and sisters were living nearby. Under his father's will the estate was not settled until after the death of their mother in 1851 and all the conditions were met in 1853 at the death of younger son, Robert T. In the audit 24 day of August 1853 W.C. Morton received $1,141.57 as his share of the father's estate.
