Cynthia was born in the Beech Fork area of Kentucky near Perryville. Her father was born at the North Carolina border near the Hico River and left as a young child with his parents Joseph and Jemima Harrel Morton for the Kentucky frontier. One author claims Jemima Harrel was part Cherokee but was terrified of Indians.(Sources: William E. Morton, "Morton Family", private publication, Fairland IN, Josiah Morton, "Morton Families" in Pike County Indiana, Ruth McClellan, "Our People of Pike County, Indiana", Unigraphic Inc., Evansville IN 1978, story told by John Robinson in 1940 at age 89.)
