- From FindaGrave:
From "Epitaphs from Burial Hill" by Bradford Kingman:
"Deacon George Morton was the son of Ephraim and Ann (Cooper) Morton, born 1645, and grandson of George Morton who came in the Ann in 1623, whose wife was Julian Carpenter of Wrentham, England, and married in Leyden in 1612. Ephraim, the father, was born on the passage to this country and died in 1663. No stone is to mark the place of his burial, or that of his brother Nathaniel Morton, who was Secretary of the Colony, and died in 1685, although he was probably buried near the Deacon Morton's grave.
The above is the oldest grave-stone on the hill bearing the name of Morton." (Page 14)
