My gggrandfather was Robert Morton, born 1799 in Ireland. He came to Quebec and married Sarah. His son John married Mary Ann Seale of Morin Heights, Argenteuil, Quebec. In the 1850's, they moved to Gananoque, Ontario, and in the 70's they moved on to Michigan and then to Manitoba. In 1890, at the age of 90 and probably suffering from Altzeimers, Robert shot his son John and John's second wife Ellen Cruise. These were the first recorded murders in Manitoba. Robert spent the remaining years of his life in an asylum. I have lots of info on the murders, mostly from the newspapers of the time.
I am searching for info on Robert Morton from Ireland to Canada, around 1820.
I have lots of info on the Robert Morton line and will share.
