What a neat question! The only ones I have from Morgan County are Polly
LaForce and Young Henson. I would love to ask all the "why" questions that
you can't find in a book--why did they leave Tennessee and why didn't they
stay in Illinois but later go on to Missouri. I want to ask Polly how she
felt about being picked up and moved. Did they go alone or with a group? I
think they would have a time getting a word in edgewise--I'd be too busy
asking questions.
