Mary Ann Linton Morgan Udall (February 11, 1865 – March 16, 1951) was an American genealogist from Utah. CONTENT
Biography[edit]
Born to parents Samuel Linton and Mary Ellen Sutton Linton in Nephi, Utah on February 11, 1865,[1] Morgan was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[2]
CONTENT (marriage to John Hamilton Morgan, other activities, death of John Hamilton and move to Preston, ID; marriage to David King Udall and move to St. Johns, friendship and companionship with Ida Hunt Udall, later moves to Washington, D. C. and to Salt Lake City, genealogical research)
In the 1897 Nephi municipal election, Mary Linton Morgan ran for the office of recorder on the Citizens Reform ticket.[3] Citizens Reform was a third-party attempt at non-partisan politics and part of nationwide Progressive Era politics.[4] The Citizens Reform slate in Nephi supported Prohibition and promised to "do away with chronic office seekers".[3]

As an avocational family genealogist, Morgan studied the Morgan, Linton, Sutton, Ellison, Selfridge, and Hamilton lineages.[5] The Institute of American Genealogy's 1934 edition of the Handbook of American Genealogy named Morgan in its list of "leading professional, avocational, and family genealogists of America", titled "Who's Who in Genealogy".[6][7]
Morgan died in Salt Lake City on March 16, 1951.[1] She was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery on March 19.[8]
