l>-- fohn Morton Had the Decisive Vote inL776 DISCUSSION In 1988 - the 350th Anniversary of the Delaware settlement - there was a fierce debate in Finland whether John Morton of Finnish origin casted the decisive vote for the Declaration of American Independence or not. In <strong>1992</strong> there are many events under the theme "Roots in Finlaid". Consequently, it might be appropriat'e to publish Peter S. Craig's letter confirming the role of John Morton in the process of declaring the independence in the United States. The letter from Peter S. Craig, Amerition by Dr. Richard H. Hulan). can Historian, to Olavi Koivukangas, Director of the Institute of Migration, July 28,79912 ...Yes, John Morton did cast the deciding vote putting the colony of Pennsylvania John Morton(1725-1777) was the son of John Morton (7683-1725) and Mary Archer (c170V1777). His father was son of MArten MArtensson Jr. (c1.6a6-U1.8) and Margaret Bartlesdotter (c1656- on record as favoring the Declaration of Plndependence. The vote was 12 coloc771.0). His mother was son of John Archer (1,649-1740) and Gertrude Barnies for independence, none opposed tlesdotter (c1,660a7 a$. (New York abstained). The vote of the MArten Mlrtensson was eight years Pennsylvania delegation was 3-2 in old when he came to New Sweden with favor of independence, with ]ohn Morton joining BenjaminFranklin and ]ames Wilson to put Pennsylvania on the side his father, MArten MArtensson Sr., on the Orn in L654. MArten MArtensson, "born in Finland in Sweden" was reported to of independence. (Two other members be about 100 years old when he was of the Pennsylvania delegation who opposed independence agreed to abstain buried on 31 May 1706. ]ohn Archer, born in Sweden (by the 1693 church cen- from voting.) sus), came to America with his father Matthias Hultgren, pastor of Gloria Dei church, wrote in the 1780's: "John Johan Grelsson (later called John Corneliusson) from the Fryksdal valley in Morton was ... a member of the 1776 Viirmland on the Mercurius in 1656.
