Notes
There is no evidence to connect the subject of this biography with the John Morton who, in February 1368, at the age of 21, succeeded his father, Thomas Morton, to an estate in Morton and Cockerton, Co. Dur. A John Morton, perhaps his son, was still in possession in 1418 (DKR, xlv. 236; Surtees Soc. xxxii. 7, 14, 197).
