No, I'm sorry Laura. I know very little about my Morgan's. Just two,
from the 1800's...Jesse E. Morgan from Ohio and Beulah Mossell Morgan
from Tennessee. Jesse is Beulah's father and Beulah married Lemuel
Brown of Lemont, Illinois. I'll store your post in case there is a
connection or I find another connection for you.
