After his mother died, his father had his sister, Frances Hubbard Morton, come and live with him and take David in charge - he was only about one year old. This sister/aunt lived only about one month after this. Baby David was then taken to his Grandfather Caldwell's home and then placed in charge of his maternal Aunt Betsy, who later became his step-mother.
David Morton was licensed to preach by the Methodist church in 1852. The degree of "Doctor of Divinity" was conferred upon him by Centenary College, Jackson, Louisiana.
He died from blood posoning, the result of a slight wound of the left thumb, made by a splinter four days previously.
