Anyone know the given names of the 4 sons and 8 daughters of Thomas Morton and Sylvina Gilkey of Ohio?

Question

Thomas Morton married Sylvina Gilkey in Maine about 1815 and moved to Muskingum County, Ohio about 1820. Supposedly, they had 4 sons and 8 daughters, but I can't find their names or vitals.

There is a lot of discussion (and some confusion) about the Mortons/Gilkeys on the GenForum website, where I noticed Sylvina came from a family of 12 children - her parents were John Gilkey and Sylvina Thomas.  Here is a link you may be interested in:
