Hi, when i saw this i wondered if this Solomon Morgan was a descendant of Darlington Co. SC Morgans from Wales. There was a Solomon b 1735 there m. to Mehitabel Ludlow who had a son Solomon b abt 1765 on Morgan's Creek, North Carolina & 1790 was in Glenn Co. GA & 1850 Clinch & Echols Cos. GA. Solomon & Methitabel also had a dau named Jemima Morgan who m. Hardy BRIAN in 1778 in SC. They removed from Darlington Dist. SC & 1806 To E. Feliciana Par. LA.. They had 7 children 2 of married into the Rogillio family. Named a son Solomon Morgan Brian. I am interested in them because I have Morgans over in Amite & Pike cos. MS. and my John Hodges came from Darlington SC about the same time and married Ann Standard in Darlington about the same time. John Hodges first settled in Wilkinson Co. MS, and his children settled in St. Helena Parish, LA. They may have traveled together. Hardy Brian was the son of William Brian and Sarah WILLIAMSON. Hardy Brian was a Revolutionary War veteran, served under General Francis Marion, General Nathaniel Greene, and General Sumter. Moved with the family to East Feliciana Parish, La, 1806, then under Spanish rule. josie At 01:25 PM 10/31/00 -0500, you wrote: >For a number of years I have trying to tie in my MORGAN line with the name >Thomas Theall.
