Hello Dan,

Thanks again for your help. I went to the Lawrenceburg library and copied the 1875 and 1860 maps. I plan on going back down tomorrow.

Thanks!
Susan

Good Morning Susan,

My name is Dan Hooper. I am not related to your Morgan family but I do
research in Dearborn County. I have an Atlas from 1875 and it show a parcel
of land in Harrison Township as the Estate of Benj. Morgan. It was 80 acres.
Nearby ws a 266 acres site for a A. Morgan. I have attached a pdf file that
is a map of Dearborn County as of current times. If you look at area J3 on
this map you will find a Morgan Road. This corresponds to to area in the
1875 map. Also there is a cemetery record book by Dianne Fox and Lois Harper
that lists Benjamin (1787-1871) and Lucy Hathaway (1808-1876) buried in
Gibson Cemetery, Bright, Indiana. Also in the cemetery is Angeline,
Armatase/Armatage, Daniel P., Elmer, Enoch,Fannie, Francis, George W.,
Hannah, Harry C., Lucy E., Margaret, Mary E., Philo, Rebecca, Son &
Daughter, William H. Morgans all. The Lawrenceburg Public Library has copies
of the atlas and cemetery books.

Here is some info that might help. I have been able to find old records from
the historical society. Records only go back to 1826, there was a fire in
the court house. The historical society has microfilms of most old records.
