Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2625 Surname: MORGAN ------------------------- Do you know if Gilbert had a middle name? Initial N??? I have a letter from the Civil War signed G N Morgan to Rebecca Jane Reid Forker. The father, George Morgan, had land vauled at 4,000 in 1850---this was a lot of money for that time. Have you ever found the other siblings in the area? Would a local paper have his death records (GEORGE) from Tionesta indicating who is the father of George? The reason my search for THOMAS MORGAN of Richland is so important is that if I find the father to Thomas---his overall family is known---it may take the name back into Wales into many many generations. The wife of Thomas was Rebecca Jenkins and this family too is documented before 1700. If the only son of Thomas was a George he could be named after the father of TM or brother to Rebecca. See if you can dig up anything else on George. I thank you for helping.
