I am at a friend's computer right now, so I don't have the files with me, but
believe I have Solomon Morthland in my records. I think (I will confirm this later for
you) he was the son of Hugh Morthland and Hannah Bauer who sold the family land in York
County PA in 1828(?) and moved to Ohio with their children. My speculation is that he may
have bankrupted himself by freeing the slaves he inherited with the Maryland properties. I
hope to find records in the Quaker records at Bryn Mawr Library. My ancester was
Hugh's younger brother Michael. I have fairly good records for the family who stayed
in York County, and am trying to trace the folks who moved away. By the way the address
listed is not correct. I have sent corrections to Ancestry twice and they have not
recorded it. My currect email addy is sarahclaws48(a)yahoo.com. I will be glad to share my
records, but that will have to be hard copy as my computer is not working. It will take me
a while to put them together but I w!
ill be glad to do so.
