I'm a descendant of JOHN WISEMAN MORGAN, who served in Chapman's Battery during the War Between the States. I believe he may have been the grandson of patriot BENJAMIN MORGAN (whom you have listed in your Revolutionary War section) through Benjamin's son AARON. If you would like more information, or have been in touch with other descendants of Benjamin, Aaron or John, I would like to exchange information. My Morgan ancestors come from Monroe County [West] Virginia.) Thanks for your site!

Looking for info on my ggrandmother, SUSAN MORGAN. Her son, JOSEPH GEARHART, married my grandmother LUCINDA PIPER 1 Feb 1890, Clarke Co., IA. Had three ch: RUBIE FORBES, (my mother), JOHN HOWARD GEARHART, and EDNA FOUCHE. On 6 May 1890, Susan wrote letter to Joseph and wife) from Altamont, KS. mentioning in letter Becca, Katie George and a "Walter and Katie have another girl" Writing on back of a picture says "Joseph Gearhart birthdate 28 July ?. I think, by searching internet, that Susan's father was DAVID MORGAN, she married JOSEPH ADAM GEARHART 30 Jan 1845, Floyd Co., KY, they had 14 ch, first 5 born Floyd Co., KY, 7 born Edgar Co., IL., and 2 born Labeth Co., KS. My grandmother (Lucinda) was born Clarke Co., IA. but her parents JOHN PIPER (born Frederick Co., VA) & MARTHA ANN MOCK (born Edgar Co., IL.) were mar 20 Apr 1854 in Edgar Co., IL. Joseph rode away when Rubie was abt. 5 yrs old, never to be seen again (or so the story goes.) A site on the Genforum Re: Gearhart's KY. to KS. #438 has dates, names, places that correspond to the few pieces of info that I have. There seems to be a multitude of Joseph's and Adams in Ky. I would appreciate any help or direction. I live on a farm 1 mi west of Clarke Co. line in Union Co. IA. You might say I am a career farmer. I am also one of the dying breed of independent farmers.

I'm researching the Trenter family history and we believe that my gg grandmother's name was SARAH MORGAN from Ireland. She married JOHN TRENTER from London, England. She was probably born between 1830's to 1855 or so. We know she came from a large family somewhere in Ireland. Her children's names were HAROLD, HENRY E., ROSIE and SARAH MARIA ELIZA TRENTER. They were all from London, England. My grandfather JOHN WILLIAM, son of SARAH MARIA E. TRENTER came to Canada as a ward of the Barnardo home in London at age 13 in 1904. Because his mother and father died when he was so young, we have very little family history. We realize the info is very scanty but if anyone has any leads I would appreciate hearing from you.
