The Oliver Morton Chapter, D.A.R. was organized by Mrs. Addie Kate Morton Johnson in her home in Gray, Georgia, Jones County on February 22, 1922.  The chapter was named for Oliver Morton, the Revolutionary ancestor of Mrs. Johnson and several other charter members of the chapter.  Mrs. Addie Kate Johnson became the first Regent. There were 12 charter members.  The organizing Regent left a "Morton Johnson Scholarship Fund," and asked the chapter to name the recipients of this fund each year.
