My grandmother whose maiden name was Morton, had written documentation of her heritage descending from John Morton who signed the declaration of independence. Her grandfather was a riverboat pilot on the Ohio River.

IIRC the story she told was that John Morton was a wealthy plantation owner who was recruited into the revolution and led a militia, he parlayed his entire fortune and property on supplying the army, after the revolutionary war he was scorned by the british loyalists and others in his area who lost their sons in the war, and threatened and harrassed. Poor and outcast he headed west and settled in the ohio region and lived out the rest of his life hunting and trapping in the wilderness out of a small cabin. He died poor, harrased by indians. His sons and their sons went on to learn to navigate the Ohio river and became a generation of Riverboat pilots.

I was born on july 4 and my grandma insisted my middle name be Morton.

I am proud of my heritage and the people of this great nation,

, but I am bitterly ashamed of our Congress and government of today in the USA, who stab us all in the back, piss on the graves of all those who fought for this great nation, and squander our heritage for greed and a legacy of glitter

all in the name of "progressive democracy" and environmental salvation

LFOD indeed...

I have noticed that Snopes is becoming Yahoogooglized, the political agenda is showing up more and more. They called the 50 Obama lies as false because 13 of them were not entirely true.

"So Snopes’ dopes are now the official history revisionist? "

I have no knowledge about the truth of this account of history, however, I have heard that Snopes was owned by George Soros. Has anyone else heard this?

[matthew fuller]

"Libs have been feverishly working to change our history and destroy what once was America. Book after book, documentary after documentary of lies, all lies to tear down this great big beautiful country. Destroy our pride in the country we love in order to push their goals forward. And as far as I can tell it's been going on since the 60's. "

The premier organization whose goals are the destruction of the USA and our value system as we know it, the ACLU, began in 1920. They've been at it for quite a while now, and unless we take back our schools, K thru Universities, they have won.

Thanks for posting this!

With all of the comments concerning errors contained in the story. Every one overlooked the very first mistake “On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted.” It was adopted on a 12-0 vote (New York abstained). John Adams famous letter to Abagail referred to this date. It was signed on July 4, because it took Jefferson that long to rewrite it after all of the changes.

The rebuttal on Snopes is mostly semantics, and ignores ‘hardships’ found in ‘died of wounds or hardships’ in their first attempt to set the record straight. It’s a bit disingenuous. A close examination of the paragraphs being rebutted, and the rebut itself, reveal no falsehoods that change the facts and/or premise of each item put forth in original piece. The closest thing to something not being ‘factual’ would be questions about the length of time, and the reasons why John Hart was on the run. Looks like Annenbergs folks over at Snopes still hanging on to revisions/wishful thinking of Zinn.
