William ORTON
This is very confusing William Orton and Grace Brooks are the parents of both William Orton, and Martha Orton who married Richard Greet. I believe these two lines run together somewhere in the decendents. Family Group Sheet copy reads Sealed to Spouse (and parents) 13 Dec 19--; the last two digits did not copy, so 1944 is an estimate. Family Group Record from Ancestral File lists a Joseph Orton (AFN:P2B4-CB) born 1849 as a child to Grace (AFN:2QL 1-V2). She would have had to be 117 years old when she had this child. More research needed.
IGI info has some confusion. State death date is 1825 and burial date as 22 Jan 1754--before he was born. AFN:KMZ8-RX Family Group Sheets of Effie Bettridge Thomas show burial date as 1835. Sealed to Spouse 13 Dec 19-- last two digits did not show up when Family Group Sheet of Effie Bettridge Thomas were copied, so 1944 was estimated. IGI shows B 12 Dec 1922; E 26 Apr 1927; 07 Nov 1960 SLAKE.

Could have been born 7 Sep 1768. Both dates are given on IGI. Is this the same Joseph as child #4? Family Group Sheet copy reads Sealed to Spouse (and parents) 13 Dec 19--; the last two digits did not copy, so 1944 is an estimate.

RESEARCH-FOR-MERGE: This individual might be the same as William /Orton/, RIN 433. Cousin to wife, Grace Greet???
