Good Morning, It has been a rather slack summer with not a lot of information going back and forth on the Morgan County, GA list. I think it is about time for a "Fall" Roll Call. So, gather your known Morgan County, GA family information and let's begin a Roll Call beginning on 1 Oct 2003. Try to include as much information about your family as possible, especially their exact names, their dates of birth/death, where they were born and died and their migration path and time frame, if known. Also try to include as much collateral information about your family as you know because this information often helps the rest of us tie in our families to your family. I apologize for being out of pocket for much of the summer but this has been a rather long summer for many in my family. Many thanks for the support you have shown me and my family. John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA

Diane Stark McConnell Sanfilippo Reasarching Butler, Epsey B. b 24 Jan 1806 Walton County, m. John W. Stark 25 Nov, 1824, Morgan County - broke this brick wall this summer thanks to the Butler name site! Had an answer to my query the next day - said 'My Great Great Grandfather was the older brother of your Great Great Grandmother Epsey Butler! That led to another name 'Myhand' - Epsey's mother and broke that wall within weeks! This has been my summer to make tremendous inroads in breaking brick walls - McDonald, McConnell, Butler, Myhand, Walraven... ;-) Also found my McDonald Great Great Grandfather David Adrian McDonald CSA buried right here in Richmond at Hollywood Cemetery - off to see his grave sometime this fall! After we finish cleaning up after Isabel! Diane
