Burton - Morton Cemetery, 71-1 Summary Report, page 19
It is likely that the person recorded as John W. Morton in 1880 is actually the James W. Morton of the 1870 census. This conclusion is based upon the age in each census and the fact that both are shown as having connection to South Carolina. It is not at all unusual for the record of the state of birth origin to vary from one census to another for the same person. The 1880 census in Word form for the Burton and Morton families on arsenal lands is shown below, with some of their more recognizable neighboring surnames.
