Son of the colourful Richard Douglas, Morton arrived in Australia aged 6 years, around 1853, with
his parents and older brother.
While still in his early twenties he became a horse dealer, to which he devoted some
considerable time, becoming well known in the various pastoral districts
which he visited in the course of his work.
