Morgan, 32, born in Scotland, was married to Anne, 31, also born in Scotland, Daughter Marrieta, 2, born in Iowa, and Son Allen, 1, also born in Iowa lived with them in Franklin, Polk County, Iowa. Robert Morgan's large family lived close. Polk County is in the center of Iowa; Appanoose on the Missouri border. You report that Alexander was buried in the Dale Cemetery in Appanoose County; I used to live close to that cemetery which is still used and nicely maintained. (Our house had a good view of it.) My Mitchell ancestors in Appanoose came from Lanarkshire as did your Alexander. Do you have anything about Mitchells or Macphees/Mcfees/Mcfies in your records? Sometimes Scots cousin groups clung together.
