Hi again, Tammy I too appreciate all that you are doing for the Bstrop site. I'd like to bring your attention to the 1850 census link on your website. You have listed a Herman Gillespie living in the same household as Rebecca Morgan. Unless all my leads are wrong, Herman is actually Hiram Gillespie. He should be my James HIram Gillespie who lived with the Morgan family. Apparently he went by Hiram as well as James Hiram at times. I'd appreciate it if you would check your source and see if the name Herman could acutally be Hiram. He lived with the Morgan family and apparently took care of them. I haven't a clue what happened to Rebecca Morgan's husband. The Handbook of Texas lists Charles Leroy Morgan (the C.L. Morgan child listed in the 1850 census) as a famous Civil War Hero who was the son of Hiram Morgan and Rebecca Gillespie Morgan. So apparently James Hiram Gillespie was related to Rebecca although I can't find her anywhere on my line. Also, the Morgan family and the Gillespie had many ties going back to the Carolinas and Tennessee. The census shows Rebecca as a 47 year old female from KY but the Texian Website for Bastrop area cemetaries shows a "Mrs. Rebecca Morgan born in 1821 from Butler Co. Ohio buried at Cedar Creek Lower Cemetary. This would make her only 29 during the census. Is this 2 different Rebecca Morgan's? What a mystery! And a frustration! Oh well, that's what makes it fun. Please keep the above in mind and if you run across anything let me know. Thnks so much for all you hard work. Rick Richard Gillespie, DC San Marcos, TX DrRickTx@rattlers.net
