Moreton, Robert and Anne Capt.

Biography

Captain Robert and Anne Groves Morton came from one of the tidewater counties of Maryland or Virginia, and settled in Fell's Point. They had a daughter, Adelina, born 18 January 1802, as recorded in the register of St. Paul's (Episcopal) Parish, Baltimore; Adelina is said to have died as a child. A portrait of the girl (now in the NGA) was painted by American naive artist Joshua Johnson around 1810; the picture was passed down through the family of Mrs. Morton's sister, Prudence Caton Thompson.
