I know very little about my Morgan line, but what I've found so far is that they came from New York in the 1840s to Hickman County, Kentucky and then into Obion County, Tennessee, and then to Greene County, Arkansas where they still live. I think it's the first line I've ever researched that didn't spend a few years in the Pendleton District of South Carolina. *g* Juli -----Original Message----- From: Mindy Akins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 12:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [SC-OPD] Really good maps Hi Juli, I noticed you are a Morgan.
