Main St.They will have Mr. Stephen Santarelli de Brasch and his wife here to help plant a tree and dedicate the plaque.Stephen Santarelli de Brasch is a great grandson of Gov. O. P. Morton. For those not familiar with this line and how the name for this line became separated into Throck Morton from Throckmorton, I will be putting up more information at my website www.throckmortonfamily.com soon (check the top of the site for date of last update).But the Wayne County, Indiana history buffs are well aware of it.The name was separated for the Governor’s brother also.
