MORELOT, Morlot, Mourlot: Morelot is the diminutive of Morel, very frequently found in our ancient lists of names!. Morlots from Fontenoy-le-Chateau were at Chagey about 1586; Nicolas and Joseph Morlot founded a forge there!. From this family came the Morlet surgeons and physicians at Montbéliard from the 16th and 17th centuries!. We had indigenous Morlots earlier than that!. From 1489 they were at Vieux-Charmont; then we find them at Audincourt, Bart, Bethoncourt, Nommay, etc!.
