I read in FAR that Elaine Lillback of Fairport Harbor has written a book about the lives of the Finland Martinnens through the Pennsylvania Mortons. The book is at the publisher and is due for the Christmas season. John Morton was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and his great-grandfather's roots have been traced to Rautalampi, Finland by some genealogists. He was one of the early New Sweden settlers in the Delaware region in the early 1600s.
