Now, with over 117,000 names in my database, these surnames in Morgan County continue to be the strongest clues to knocking down my biggest "iron wall": BROWN BURNETT LAMBERT SEYMOUR STRAWN WILSON also...any stories, theories surrounding the attraction of Morgan County to those English citizens of Yorkshire. Why Morgan County? Which ports were used in leaving Yorkshire? Arriving in the USA? Moving on land from the USA port to Morgan County? From the Morgan County point of view, why "Yorkies"? Thanks ! - Tom Wilson
