He married Honor M. _______ (born about 1847) and had several children ( Mary, Susan Frances, John Charles, Lovey, and Minnie) before his death. It appears that Peter was the son of Peter Morgan who was the son of John and Elizabeth Morgan. John appears to be the son of Samuel Morgan. I would greatly appreciate any additional information on Peter. Regards, Jeff Gossett

I am searching York Co., SC for the three families mentioned above, the Dye, Pratt, and Childers. I know the Dye and Childers families have been connected somehow, and I'm wishing to find out exactly. The exact head of households I am looking for is the Perry and Letha Dye, John and Jane Childers, and William B. Pratt and family. Perry Dye and John and Jane Childers lived next door in 1870 census. Then their son Samuel B. Dye and John and Jane Childers' sons James and John Childers moved to Texas at the same time. In the 1880 Lamar Co., TX Census Samuel B. Dye is head o9f household with his mother Letha living with him. And John Childers is also living with Samuel B. Dye named as his Nephew. James Childers at this time is living in Delta Co., TX living with William B. Pratt also from York Co., SC. Any help on connecting these families is very appreciated. Thanks, Jay Odom

Does anyone have any information on the following individuals buried in Bullocks Creek Presbyterian Church cemetery? MICKLE, Ann E. (Ann Ellen Graham), July 31, 1829-Nov. 20, 1889 (her birth year is reversed on the York County SC GenWeb Site) MICKLE, Rev. J. (Jonathan Belton), May 7, 1819-Jan. 9,1892 Ann was the daughter of James Graham of Chester County and the sister of Thomas Milliken Graham of Chester, York and Mecklenburg Counties. Thomas was my gg-grandfather. J.B., born in Camden, was a lawyer, newspaper editor and obviously became a minister at some point after their marriage in 1855. Ann was his second wife. Margaret Wylie Mickle, also buried there, was their oldest daughter but I don't have information on the other children. I would appreciate hearing from any descendents.
