He m. Frances McKinnon b.24 Dec.1869-d.3 Mar. 1950 also in San Marcos Tx.. She wrote poetry and later was a newspaper columnist in San Marcos.
According to John R. Mortons death certificate his parent were James W. Morton and Elizabeth Charles and there the trail goes cold.
I can find no birth dates or census records for James W. and Elizabeth Morton or their children in Virginia.
Thank You in advance for any help or info. is appreciated.
