Following is a connecting link to the subject Plat Book: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/morgan2/morplat/mcplat_mere.html A person has kindly looked up on her copy of the OUR SUBSCRIBERS IN MORGAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS 1872 PLAT BOOK my Watson family. Although the online version does not mention James WATSON,. her book does mention James Watson as owning the fishery where MAGA lists: Waldo, Albert M.MeredosiaFisheryMorey Co., Ind.1847 I do believe that James Watson operated a fishery in Morgan County, IL and came from Indiana about 1847 (he would have been 3 years old) with his father (a fisherman), Edward WATSON. Now for my question, HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF MOREY CO., INDIANA?? I've searched maps, GNS web sites, inquired with the Indiana State Library, the Indiana State Historical Assn. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Marie Butcher --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes
