Biography
The marriage record[1] of George Morton and Juliana Carpenter explicitly states George was accompanied by Thomas Morton, his brother. For more information see Allen, John K., George Morton of Plymouth Colony and Some of his Descendants, pub. by author, Chicago 1908.

- ↑ image and transcription
- ↑ George is said to have been part of the landed Gentry and of Royal descent. In addition, it is possible the paternal grandmother of Gov. William Bradford may have been Alice Morton, an aunt to the elder George Morton. This would make emigrants William Bradford and George Morton Second cousins.
- ↑ Juliana's sister, Alice, married (as her second husband) Gov. William Bradford.
- ↑ Some sources state he had an additional son, George. This younger George was not accounted for in the 1623 Plymouth Land Division nor named in the 1627 Plymouth Cattle Division. It is believed this younger George was fabricated in an attempt to link Richard Morton of Hatfield to George Morton of Plymouth.

DNA results I1-Y17927
Previous Y-DNA testing
Recent correspondence with the Morton/Mourton/Nunn Surname Project administrators indicated where they currently have two Y-DNA results for patrilineal descendants of George Morton.[1] They discovered the two individuals were close Y111 STR matches and fall under the I1-M253 clade. Plugging the STR values into the Nevgen Haplogroup Predictor comes up with I1 L22>Z2338>Y17927 with 100% certainty.
It was also discovered where this family were fairly close Y-STR matches to the Morton family of Sheffield, Yorkshire, England (with a branch of the family emigrating to Virginia). However, patrilineal descendants of Richard Morton of Hatfield, MA fall under haplogroup R1b-M269 so they cannot be descended from George Morton.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing would confirm or refute this prediction as well as further refine the haplogroup.
- ↑ One is descended from son John, while the other is descended from son Ephraim.
