Hi List! Margaret, Can't get my web browser to come up right now or would give you a URL to look at and see if this listing is the same that you are referring to. If your browser works, go to Morgan Home Page http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmorgan/morgan.htm And find the Link titled "Morgan County Resources", I think. Can't remember the URL. This will be a Link to Norm Witherbee's page and if you scan the page you will find a Link about the Monument at the Morgan County Courthouse along with a listing of the soldiers that are displayed. As for 1821 records, Morgan Courthouse had a fire early on and all records before 1827 were destroyed with the exception of the Land records, where that book was at the home of the Recorder. Believe Morgan became a County in 1821, go to Timline Link on Morgan Home page and see. Did you check the Home page Link under Military in Morgan and check the RW link of Rev War soldiers buried in Morgan? Sometimes lists a Cemetery. Did you check the Cemetery Inscriptions that are online? Over 200 have been posted. Use the Search Engine on the Home page and it might break it down to some township cemeteries for you, if the surname can be found.
