Named in the 1880 county history

The history of Geauga County was published 19 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Morgan Orton was born in Connecticut. He came to Burton, Ohio, in 1 S 1 5 ; resided there about one year ; came to Auburn in 1816 ; was married to Rebecca Moore about 1819, and they had six children - Belinda, Permelia, Corington, Anna, Albert, and Wesley. Mr. Orton settled on the north part of the Ely tract in 1816. About 1817 he sold out to Benjamin Woods, and went a short distance west of the center and bought on the Rutland tract, where he lived for several years. Then he sold out to Culver and the Barneys. He then came back to the State road and settled near where he settled in 1816, and lived there several years, during which time he built a nice framed house and barn, and cleared up his farm. In 1850 he sold this farm to Jonathan Burnett, and moved to Iowa. Mr.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Geauga County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
