Thanks to everyone who took the time to read yesterday's LONG msg. I remembered that someone had sent me copies of pictures marked "Taken in St. Joseph, MO". These pictures are marked as being James Tolin, Hugh Tolin, John Tolin, and Fred W. Tolin. The same person who sent these also sent a copy of a picture of Effa Tolin. Morgan Tolin had a daughter named Effarilla who was named after his wife's mother Effarilla Corley Jordan. Porterfield Tolin, son of Elias, had a son named Hugh. Porterfield moved to Missouri. So, I "think" that Elias Tolin is Morgan Tolin's father. I haven't been researching long enough to confidently say that he was so I welcome any comments. Thanks, Darla
