(Pierce) Morgan, b. about 1859, m. about 1881 Lavina Isabella (?). Franklin was born in (Nixburg) Alabama, Lavinia in Texas. I found them in the 1900 Census living in Hillsboro, Washington County, showing him as working for a Icalee (?) Furniture company. Lavinia was a widow in the 1920 Census, living in Corvallis. I believe she died after 1930, probably in the Industrial Home for the Blind in Alameda, CA., close to where their son Milton P. was living in Sacramento working @ the State Printing office (according to the 1930 Census). I believe Franklin came to Haskell County, TX, from Alabama about 1866. The family story indicates he came about the same time as his mother (name uncertain) and brothers James Thomas (my ggrfather), John William and possibly Eugene Hilliard. James Thomas (J.T.) and John William (J.W.) supposedly went to Comanche County Texas, while Franklin was in "college" in Haskell County. J.T. and J.W. were "freighters" in West Texas, delivering goods between Ft. Worth, TX and Comanche, Menard, Ballinger, San Saba and Sonora. I have information that says Eugene Hilliard became a physician. The children of Franklin Pierce and Lavinia Isabella were: Milton P(ierce) b. 1881 (TX)m. Margaret Warren and Bess Wilner; Charles b. 1884; Otto Grady b. ?; Grace b. 1895. I have many interesting "Wild West" stories from the Morgan family memoirs. I would love to correspond with any one in this family line. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
