Seeking any information on MYRON MORGAN who married HANNAH MARTHA PEMBROOK in 1884 in Onawa, Ia.; their ch: CAPIDORAH CLARA MORGAN (1 Dec 1887 Stanton, Nebraska -- 10 Apr 1951 Walthill, Ne.); MALLORY PEMBROOK MORGAN (5 Sep 1889 Stanton -- 26 Feb 1976 Longmont, Co.). Myron disappeared about two years after Mallory was born. We do not know birth or death dates of Myron or who his parents were. We suspect his parents were MALLORY MORGAN and SARAH ANN BARBER. We think Mallory, Sr. was born in Pennsylvania about 1829, and Sarah Ann was born May 1837 in NY. Any info at all about this line of Morgans would be appreciated. Mallory P. is my husband's grandfather.

Looking for ancestors of PHILLIP W. MORGAN (b. Livingston, Ky. 11 Oct 1836), m. 19 Mar 1857 HARRIET J. DAMON, in Hamilton Co. IL. His father was reported to be from Virginia. Children: Dr. LEWIS C., MARY A., FLORENCE O., NORA N., WILLIAM G., EMALINE W., OWEN A., ALICE M. A short bio on Dr. Lewis C. Morgan can be seen at http://www.carolyar.com/illinois/Bios/Morgan.htm. This gives much info. I have surmised that his father may?? be a FRISBY MORGAN, but no direct proof. As a point of interest Harriet J. Damon's ancestry can be followed back to ancient English kings by way of her grandfather SIMEON DAMON JR's wife JERUSHA WHITE.

My Morgan family records are so scant that I am having a very difficult time doing any research. According to THOMAS MORGAN's death certificate 2 Jun 1885, he was 66 years old, indicating he was born 1819 in England (no shire or town mentioned), son of JOHN and JANE MORGAN. He mar JANE BEARD. I did find a JOHN MORGAN, wheelwright of Bradford Street, Birmingham listed in 1818. I have no idea when he came to the States but his son, my great grandfather JOHN MORGAN, was born in Chelsea or Charlestown Ma. 22 Jun 1853.

I have been searching for years for DANIEL MORGAN (b ca 1800 in either Surry or Rowan Co., NC); mar MARY ???. He and Mary were living in Jasper Co., Tx. in 1850. He died ca 1880 and is reported to be buried in a family plot on the old homestead in Jasper Co. We do not know when or where Mary died and is buried. She census records show both were born in NC. She probably died before 1870 since she does not appear on the census then or afterward. Their ch: ELIZABETH MORGAN (b 31 Dec 1830 -- 1902) (my great grandmother) who mar SION JONES in Decatur Co., Ga. 3 Feb 1853. Sion died in Decatur Co. 14 Aug 1864 from disease contracted while serving in the Confederate States Army. JAMES MORGAN (1831 NC) who mar NANCY ??? and is bur in Withers Cemetery, Jasper Co., Tx.; REUBEN MORGAN (1832 NC) mar SUSAN NEAL 26 Feb 1857; OWEN MORGAN (1834, who may have been retarded), never married; DORCUS MORGAN (1836 NC) mar ELIAS M. C. LEE in Decatur Co., Ga. 23 Nov 1857. Elias was killed as a soldier in the Confederate Army and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va. The 1850 census lists another son, either DANIEL or DAVID (b 1838 NC). That census lists DANIEL (Sr. ?) as 79.

I am looking for information concerning the parents and earlier history of my gggg grandfather, JAMES O. (middle initial possibly O. for OLIVER?) MORGAN (7 Feb 1792 Edgefield Co., SC?). His brothers were ELDRIDGE MORGAN, MOSES MORGAN, MINTER MORGAN (possibly WILLIAM MINTER) and CHRISTOPHER MORGAN. James mar MARY DATHNEY 6 Apr 1816 in Richmond Co. Ga. James may have been a Methodist minister. He lived in Greene, Muscogee and Henry Counties, Ga., 1818 -- 1836. His ch: GREENBERRY MORGAN (1818-1906), WILLIAM MORGAN (1819-1908), JAMES JACKSON MORGAN (1822-1898), CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS MORGAN (1828), LUCINDA MORGAN (1829-1855), ELIJAH MORGAN (1829-1911), THOMAS MORGAN (1833), and JULIE ANN MORGAN (1836-1912). No conclusive proof as to how long James remained in Georgia before moving to Alabama. His sons Greenberry, James Jackson and Elijah also moved to Alabama and are buried in Crenshaw and Coffee Counties. The other children remained in Georgia and died in either Henry, Marion or Chattahoochee Counties. James and wife Mary probably appear on the 1870 Butler Co., AL. Census with ages listed as 76 and 75. Their (widowed?) dau Julie Morgan Lanier and two of her children, JAMES and MALISSA LANIER were living with James. James Morgan died in Brantley, Crenshaw Co., AL. in 1877 and is buried at Oak Grove Church Cemetery there. Any help on finding parents and birthplace of James (O.) Morgan would be greatly appreciated.
