    3. -- [ From: Bonnie Sell * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Dear List, Hello to all you listers who have been rather quiet lately. I have been reading the posts since my return home in early June. I visited Susquehanna County in early May. It was a great experience seeing the area where my early ancestors lived so many years ago. I want to post their names again in hopes someone will find a connection. My earliest ancestor in Susquehanna County was David Morgan who arrived there in 1810 and died there in 1866. His son James C. Morgan married Mary E. Townsend in Brooklyn in 1849. Mary was the daughter of Samuel D . Townsend and Sarah Benjamin. James and Mary's son Sumner G. Morgan married Alice Brooks circa 1873, location not known, but somewhere in PA . Alice was the daughter of Efelyn Spencer and Ashley Brooks. Alice was reportedly born in Factoryville, PA. Efelyn Spencer is believed to be the daughter of Thomas Spencer and ?. She is found in his household in the 1850 census in Springville Township. Her husband Ashley Brooks is possibly the son of Joel Brooks and ?. Joel Brooks is found in the 1850 census of Springville Township also. I have purchased the Centennial History of Susquehanna County and it has provided me with a lot of information. Thanks to those who posted quotes from the book for me. Any cousins out there researching any of these families? Bonnie J. Sell
