My Elijah was in Fishkill, Dutchess Co. NY by 1810, he had moved there from
Westchester Co NY where the family goes way back, Now I think one branch
did go to Canada after the war, and the name was popular in this line. I
am trying to locate any living cousins or any one who has information on
his children, I have Joseph Morgan's line it comes down to my Husband, and
Hatfield Morgan's line comes down to several people I am in touch with, but
he had other sons and daughters.
