Morton MORTON was orginally an English surname. derived from the name of a locality. There are parishes and places of this name in Oxford, Bucks, Chester, Dorset, Essex, Not- tingham, Salop, Stafford, Gloucester, Devon and Berks counties. In Scotland the family was well established in Edinburghshire and Dumfriesshire before the year 1300. The Irish family was doubtless a branch of the, Scotch

family. In Ireland the name is most numer- ou, in Antrim county, but is diffused through- out the country.

(I) John Morton was born in Roscommon county, Ireland, and grew up in his native parish under the conditions common to the people of the middle class. He married Bridget Byron, also a native of Roscommon. He came to America in 1847, with his wife, settling soon afterward in Dorchester, Massa- chusetts, where he lived for several years. He removed to West Roxbury, where in 1856 he with his brother James bought land on Lawn street, recorded in Norfolk register of deeds. This is the first record of the family in America. He built a little home in which he and his wife spent a peaceful and happy life together until separated by death. He died in 1888 at the age of seventy-six. He was a Democrat in politics and numbered among his friends some of the best people of that section. He and his wife were active and faithful members of the Catholic church. She was born in 1819, and is still living, hardy and happy, making her home with her daughter. Children : 1. James H., born December 25, 1846, was for forty-one years employed in various positions in Mount Hope cemetery, a landscape gardener there for twenty-three years and afterward superintendent of nine- teen cemeteries of the city of Boston, a posi- tion for which he was well fitted by natural qualifications and long training, and in which he demonstrated his ability and knowledge; he was also president of the National Super- intendents' Association of Cemeteries. He married Ellen Manning, of West Roxbury, and had eight children. 2. Michael S., born September 12, 1850, mentioned below. 3 Katherine, born June 3. 1862, was educated in the Convent of St. Johns, at Baltimore, and became a sister of that order; was ap- pointed principal of a convent school at Bal- timore, Maryland, in charge of four hundred pupils ; afterwards principal and Mother Su- perior of the School for Sisters of Charity in Chicago, having a thousand pupils; owing to failing health she was assigned to her present position in charge of the Catholic school at Petersburg, Virginia, where her duties are less arduous. 4. Sarah, born January 1, 1864, lives with her mother and sister Ellen at Mount Hope, West Roxbury, and has charge of the household. 5. Ellen, is an invalid. One child died in infancy.

(II) Michael S., son of John Morton, was born in East street, Dorchester, Massachus-

etts, now Boston, September 12, 1850. He was educated in the public schools and French's Commercial College, and learned the trade of cabinet-maker in the factory of the Smith American Organ Company, which was at that time doing a flourishing business. In 1876 he formed a partnership as a general merchant at Afton, Virginia. The year fol- lowing he bought out his partner and con- tinued three years with excellent success when owing to home ties he sold the store and returned to Boston. He embarked in busi- ness at Forest Hills in Boston as a dealer in groceries and provisions. He was active and energetic, accommodating and enterprising, and his business grew rapidly. From time to time he invested in real estate in the vicinity and is now one of the largest taxpayers of that section. In 1886 he erected the large build- ing in which his store is now located. The departments for meats and provisions and for groceries are each a model, attractive, and a well ordered and wisely selected stock to meet the tastes and demands of his trade. The business occupies floor space to the extent of five thousand square feet. Few merchants in Forest Hills are better known or more popu- lar. In 1906 he was appointed to the board of trustees of the Boston Insane Hospital, and served with credit until the hospital was taken over by the state. His home on Morton street is in a picturesque location overlooking an at- tractive section of the city and a stretch of beautiful country over the arbor-way connect- ing the Aboretum and Franklin Park.

He married, July 12, 1881, at St. Thomas' Church, Jamaica Plain, Mary E. Driscoll, born in Newton, Massachusetts, April 2. 1857, daughter of John and Hannah (Foley) Dris- coll. She was educated in the public schools, graduating from West Roxbury high school and the Boston Normal College and became a teacher in the public schools of Boston, con- tinuing until the time of her marriage. Mr. Morton ascribes much of his success in busi- ness to the good influences of his wife, whose sweet and gentle disposition has done so much to 'make a happy home and family. Her father was born in county Cork, Ireland, and came to this country in 1850; died at Jamaica Plain, September 29, 1905, aged seventy-three. Her mother was also a native of county Cork ; came to America in 1851 ; was married at St. Joseph Circuit Street Catholic Church, Rox- bury, and died at Jamaica Plain in 1887, aged sixty-two. Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll lived first at Newton, then at Jamaica Plain ; they reared

a family of three children: i. Mary E. Dris- coll, married Mr. Morton, mentioned above. ii. John William Driscoll, born March 27, 1862, died aged thirty ; married Mary Davis. iii. Helen J. Driscoll, born January 22, 1864, lives at the homestead in Jamaica Plain, un- married. Mr. and Mrs. Morton are Catholics and liberal supporters of the church of their parish. Children of Michael S. and Mary E. (Driscoll) Morton : I. Grace Mary, born June 23, 1882, was carefully educated and became proficient in music; resides with her parents. 2. Robert Michael, August 15, 1883, is associated in business with his father. 3. Thomas Matthew, July 1I, 1884, educated in the public schools; now a clerk in his father's store. 4. John Raymond, February 7, 1888, a student in the Textile School, Lowell, Mas- sachusetts. 5. Arthur James, May 31, 1889, now serving his apprenticeship at the leather trade. 6. Gertrude Elizabeth, May 14, 1890, student in the Boston Latin School. 7. Kath- erine Helen, May 24, 1891, student in the Bos- ton high school. 8. Walter Joseph, June 3, 1892, student in the Boston Latin School. 9. Frances Lincoln, December 25, 1893, student in the Boston Latin School. 10. Louise Leon- ide, May 17, 1896, student in the Boston gram- mar school. II. Vincent De Paul, May 25, 1899, student in the Boston grammar school. Great honor and credit is due Mrs. Morton for raising this large family, who by her care and attention was able, through God, to bring them to maturity without the loss of one.

The Sanderson family is of SANDERSON ancient English origin, the greater number of those in America bearing this name tracing their de- scent from two brothers, Robert and Edward.

Robert Sanderson and his first wife Lydia, were among the first settlers of Hampton, New Hampshire, in 1638, and his eldest child was born there. Soon afterward he removed to Watertown, Massachusetts, of which he was a proprietor in 1642, remaining there until about 1653, removing then to Boston where he held the office of deacon. He sold his house and ten acres of land in Hampton, July 20, 1650, to Richard Swaine, he then residing in Watertown, and October 17, 1653, bought land of William Godfrey. By trade he was a goldsmith and silversmith. John Hull, a se- lectman and many years town treasurer of Bos- ton, the first mint master of New England, and the coiner of the pine-tree shillings, in his diary under date of 1652-53, relates how

he was chosen to make coin, and adds: "I chose my friend Robert Sanderson to be my partner, to which the court consented." Sep- tember 1, 1658, he says: "My boy, John San- derson, complained of his head aching, and took his bed ; a strong fever set in and after 17 days sore sickness, he departed this life." Under date of November 8, 1658, he says : "The Lord exercised with sickness my part- ner, Robert Sanderson, and his son Joseph, but yet was pleased to recover them both. Joseph kept the house about a month, and my partner 18 days." Róbert Sanderson died October 7, 1693, and his will was proved Oc- tober 20, of the same year. He bequeathed to his wife Elizabeth ; son Robert Sanderson and daughter Anne West ; grandchildren Rob- ert Darby, Mary Caswell and Joseph Jones; children of Robert and Anna, and of James Fenniman; great-granddaughter of Abia Beard ; son-in-law Richard West; brother Edward Sanderson; Joseph, son of William Sanderson ; refers to house and land at Water- town, had by former wife; mentions kinsman William Shattuck, of Watertown. He mar- ried (second) in Watertown, about 1642, Mary, widow of John Cross, and she died June 21, 1691. He married (third) Eliza- beth - -, who was born in 1617, died Oc- tober 15, 1695, leaving a will.

(I) Edward, brother of Robert Sanderson, was the immigrant ancestor of the branch of the family of which this sketch treats. He was born in England and came to Watertown about the same time as his brother .. He sold his house and land in Watertown to William Shattuck Sr., and probably removed to Cam- bridge. The name is frequently spelled San- ders and Saunders on the early records. He married, October 15, 1645, Mary, believed to be the eldest daughter of Bagot and Bridget Eggleston, of Dorchester, later of Windsor, Connecticut. Their children were: Jonathan, see forward, and Hester, baptized March 20, 1 686-87.

He was an honorary member and life trustee of the Franklin County Agri- cultural Society; for nearly ten years presi- dent of Powers Institute and that institute owes much to his interest and labors in its behalf ; trustee of the Cushman Library, and it is owing to his liberality that the hall over `the library was built.

At the expiration of two years he became a student at the Powers Institute, and at the end of another two years became teller of the Franklin County Bank, where he remained until the fall of 1862 when he

accepted the position of teller in the Spring- field Bank of Springfield, which later became the Second National Bank. He held this posi- tion until January, 1866, when he went to Savannah, Georgia, and engaged in mercan- tile business, at the end of two years removing to Chicago, Illinois, and continuing in the same line of business there until 1869. He returned to Franklin county in 1873 and became associated with Henry W. Warner at Nash's Mills, Greenfield, in the manufacture of hardware and baby-carriage trimmings. The business was incorporated in 1887, Mr. Sanderson being made treasurer of the com- pany, an office with which he has been identi- fied up to the present time, 1909.

He is a member of Hampden Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Spring- field ; of the Royal Arch Masons; of Connec- ticut Vally Commandery, Knights Templar ; and a charter member and one of the first vice-presidents of the Greenfield Club. He married, May 7, 1879, Jeannie, daughter of General Walter Smith, of Mobile, Alabama. Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson have no children.

The Byam family is of ancient BYAM Welsh origin. Like most Welsh names that have been anglicized, Byam is very unlike the original from which it is derived. Evan is a personal and baptismal name common in Wales. The prefix Ap in Welsh is equivalent to Mac and De and Fitz. and means "son of." John Ap Adam, for instance, means John, son of Adam, and Will- iam Ap Evan, William, son of Evan. Thus Ap-Evan is of the same class of surnames as Richardson, Johnson, Jackson, etc., in English. Ap-Evan was spelled Ap-yevan for a time, then Abyevan, Abyan and Abyam. In fact we find in one single document, the will of Will-

iam Byam, of Bath, in 1570, the three spell- ings: Abyan, Abyam and Byam. The sur- name Abyam is found in the Subsidy Rolls for 1545, and the spelling Byam came into use about this time. In fact the testator in the will mentioned spelled his name Byam as early as 1535, as witness to the will of Isabella Chan- cellor, of Bath.

The armorial bearings of the Byam family are as follows: I. Argent three dragons' or wiverns' heads erased vert, each holding in his mouth a dexter hand, couped at the wrist, dropping blood, originally derived from Tegau's Euron, the daughter and heir of King Pelinor, and wife of Caradoc Craich-Vras; and, in an after age, exclusively borne by their descend- ant Rhys Goch, living in the eleventh century. 2. Sable, a chevron between three spear heads argent, their points embrued, for Caradoc him- self. 3. Gules a lion rampant or, for Elistam Glodrydd, founder of one of the royal tribes of Wales. 4. Gules, three towers triple turreted argent for Gowel, Prince of Caerlon, and living in the twelfth century. 5. Vert a chevron be- tween three wolves' heads for Joanett, daugh- ter and heir of Grono ap Traharne ap Blaeth ap Elvareh, Lord of Penrhos. 6. Argent a cross gules for Burgh-De-Burgh, the same as the Marquis of Clanricarde-the late Viscounts and present Earls of Mayo, etc. The Byams, of Selworthy, Somersetshire, bear: Vert two branches of laurel between four pheons argent. Crest : A wolf passant or collared and lined ermine.

From the relative size of the family in the old country and the peculiar derivation of the surname, .it is fair to presume that all the Byams are descended from Ievan ap Jenkin, whose sons were called Ap Ievan, and descend- ants of his sons John and Thomas took the surname Byam. The ancestry of this Ievan is traced to the first century, according to the College of Arms, certified in 1841, and is a remarkable pedigree, originating with the princes of Wales: 1. Llyr Llediaith. 2. Bran, a hostage at Rome. 3. Caradoc or Carac- tacus. 4. Eudaf. 5. Cynan. 6. Cadvan, King of North Wales. 7. Stradwell, daughter and heir, married Coel Godebog, to whom she carried her inheritance, and who, acquiring other possessions, was entitled King of Britain (Harleian mss. 1974). 8. Gwal, their daugh- ter, sister of Heln, who married Constantine Chlorus, Emperor of Rome, (died 306), mar- ried Edeyri ap Padarn, whose father was sur- named Peisrwydd. 9. Cunneda Wledig, King of North Wales. 10. Eineon Yrch of the town

and district, from him called Caereineon, in Merioneth ; married Brauste. II. Llyr, sur- named Molynog, married Gwenllian, daughter of Brychan ap Aulach. 12. Caradoc Vraich- Vras, Earl of Hereford, Lord of Radnor, A. D. 520, founder of a dynasty of Princes who ruled for some centuries over the territory between the Wye and Severn, and over Brecknock, till after the Norman invasion, in fact, till Bleddin was slain in 1090. He married Tegau'r Eur- vron, daughter of Pelinor, King of Gwent. 13. Mainarch, Lord of Brecknock, paternally de- scended from Caradoc, Earl of Hereford and inheriting the lands and titles, married Ellen, daughter of Eineon, Lord of Cwmwd. 14. Rhys Goch, Lord of Ystradwy, married Joan, daughter of Cadwgan ap Athelstan Glodrydd. 15. Cynwillin ap Rhys Goch married Jonnett, daughter of Howell, Prince of Caerleon. 16. Cynfrin ap Cynwillin married Gqladys, daugh- ter of Sitsyllt ap Dyffenwell, Lord of Upper Gwent. 17. Arthur ap Cynfim married Ellen, daughter of Meuric ap Cradoc. 18. Howell ap Arthur married Joan, daughter of Grono, Lord of Kybor. 19. Griffith ap Howell mar- ried Jonnett, daughter and sole heir of Grono Vychan, of Penrhos. 20. David ap Griffith married Maud, daughter of Llewellyn ap Ken- frig. 21. Howell Gam ap David married Joan, daughter of Adam ap Rhys ap Eineon. 22. Howell Vychan, ap Howell Gam. 23. Meuric ap Howell Vychan married Gwellian, daugh- ter of Gwilliam ap Jenkin of Gwernddu, and ancestor of the Herberts, Earls of Pembroke. 24. Ievan ap Meurie, of Penrose, married Joan, daughter of Llewelyn ap Vychan ap Llewelyn ap Madoc ap Hoel. 25. Jenkin ap Ievan, by I Teralds called, but in anticipation of that sur- name Jenkyn Byam, of Maerdy, county Mon- mouth, living June 20, 1456, married daughter of Llewelyn ap Qwillim ap Rhys Lloyd ap Adam, of Brecknockshire. 26. Ievan ap Jen- kyn, in book entitled "Descendants of Caradoc Vraich-Cras, penes Heralds College." Chil- dren : 1. Thomas ap Ievan, mentioned in Bath Subsidy Rolls, 1523; married Joan, daughter of Llewelyn ap Gwillim. 2. John ap Ievan, of Bath, county Somerset, mentioned in Subsidy Roll, 1523, died about 1541 ; his son, William ap Ievan, spelled the name Byam as early as 1535. From the elder brother descends the present family of county Pembroke.
