My name is CONNIE L. MORGAN SONNICHSEN. I am the gg granddaughter of ANDREW MORGAN (Dec 1824, in Bloomfield, Ia.). For the last 20 years I have been dabbling with our Morgan family history. I linked to your home page and was intrigued that there is a Morgan Family Club. I searched through your Cemetery and Marriage sites but was disappointed that there was no mention of any Morgan's in Iowa, Oregon, and Washington. I have no record of Andrew Morgan's parents and maybe there is a connection with one of your Morgan's. I hope I can, or someone else can make a connection. I know that our descendants came from Wales. The time in Wales to the time of Andrew's birth in Iowa in 1824 is a blank at this time. I did enjoy reading through your site and hope to someday be reading about my own ancestors in your Morgan Family History page.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I am searching for info about my great grandfather JAMES MORGAN, born abt 1860s, we think in Cross Gates Scotland. He came to the US. He married JANET STEWART, definitely from Cross Gates Scotland, children: JOHN, HARRY, JANET, CHARLES (my grandfather) and 2 more ch. He was a mason by trade and built the ornate entrance to Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY, where he lived in a large house around 9th Street or Avenue. He was involved in a hotel around Groton or Croton on the Hudson River, where he was interested in adding a railway operated by gravity! He was very comfortable and considered to be a millionaire. He was connected somehow to the Aoleon Piano/Organ Company (may have built the Aoleon Building on 5th Avenue in Manhattan) but was said to have helped start the company. Dau Janet mar a LLOYD; Charles mar HULDA REIDEL (who had 5 ch). Charles had 2 ch: ARMITAGE JAMES (my father) and JESSIE (MURPHY).

My mother's paternal grandmother was MARGARET SUSAN MORGAN (4 Apr 1865 in Ronceverte, Greenbriar Co., WVa.) but known in the family as Mary Margaret. Her parents were NOAH R. MORGAN and MARTHA J. BOONE but no other info. The family legend is that we are related to Sarah Morgan, mother of Daniel Boone, [not to Daniel]. I assume this means through her brother. I would be pathetically grateful for any help on this.

I am looking for the ancestors of JAMES JACKSON MORGAN born about 1817/1818 in Virginia. He possibly had a brother LEWIS MORGAN. They both show up on the Pulaski Co., Ky. 1850 census. James J. was my gg grandfather. He married LOUISA VAUGHN in 1847 and had several kids: MARY SARAH, WILLIAM, HENRY, JACOB ("Jake"), JOSEPH and JOHN LAIR (1864--1947, Stoddard Co., Mo.) who was my great grandfather. James J. disappears between the 1860 and 1870 census and possibly died in the War for Southern Independence. I think Louisa went to Missouri with John L. I would also be interested in any info concerning Louisa who also supposedly came from VA.

This is a wonderful Web Page. HENRY MORGAN, son of Col. MORGAN MORGAN was my gggg grandfather. Henry had son JOSEPH (1783) who in turn had a son JOSEPH DOSSETT MORGAN (1818 in SC). Joseph had a dau LEE ELLA ALICE (1855) who mar JOHN M. PARHAM, They had son JOHN ALBERT PARHAM (1890). John was my father. When you see the Col. Morgan Morgan history all I see is that he sold his land and moved. Keep up the good work.

I'm searching for info about my gg aunt: ELIZA JANE MORGAN (b NC--d abt 1871) mar WILLIAM E. LAWS (b abt 1842 NC--Jul 1864 from wounds at Battle of Gettysburg, Pa.) he was Confederate States Army soldier. William was son of SELIM (William C.) LAWS and MARY E. EUBANKS; one ch: ROBERT EDWIN LAWS (28 Oct 1864 Windsor, Canada --19 OCT 1935 Covina, Ca.). After both parents died, about 1871, little Robert went to live with his grandparents, Selim & Mary LAWS in Union Co., TN. I have been trying to get more history of my LAWS family. Maybe, through the MORGAN side, I might find more about my LAWS side. We do know Selim and wife Mary were in Iredell Co., NC before the War for Southern Independence. Where is Eliza Jane from in NC? She would have been born abt late 1830s to early 1840s? She may have been living close to Selim Laws and family - meeting William E. Laws and marrying him, there? Would appreciate any help. Thank you.

I am looking for info on JOHN W. MORGAN, mar LULA FLOYD; dau, LOUISIANA ELIZABETH ("Lou") MORGAN (8 Sep 1860 in MS). Lou mar HANIBA SLEDGE JACKSON 14 Sep 1876 in Tate Co., MS. On Collin Co., Tx. 1900 and 1910 census, Louisiana listed birthplace of both of her parents as Ga. However, Louisiana's 1 Feb 1939 Dallas Co., TX. death certificate lists their birthplaces as AL. for John and Ms. for Lula. I have been unable to find John, Lula, and Louisiana as a family group in any census so I don't have any more info on them. I would appreciate any info anyone could give me.

Looking for info on EDWARD FRANCIS MORGAN. He entered US Army in 1943 during World War II, living at Conshohocken, PA. with parents & sister. Reported missing in action abt 1943-1945 in South Pacific area; said to be on Rendova Island. We were to be married upon his return. No trace of him in any government records. This is common with MIA's I'm told. I'm always looking for him, any help would be appreciated. [EDITOR's note: for all those trying to locate records on relatives who served in World War II: the national records center in St. Louis, Mo. was destroyed by anti-Vietnam War rioters during the 1960's (1970's ?) and the military records of US soldiers who served during World War II were destroyed, including those of our Editor's father who was killed in action. There were no copies of most of these records in any other location, so the military records of several million American boys are lost forever.]
