I'm looking for any info on Hiram Morgan who probably came from Tenn to Texas during the Days of the Republic. We was married to Rebecca Gillespie and had several kids, many who were prominent in service to Texas, such as C.L. Morgan who had a distinguished career in the Confederacy and later with Terry's Texas Rangers. The Bastrop 1850 and 1860 census shows my great-great Uncle James Hiram Gillespie as living with Rebecca (a relative) and the kids but Hiram Morgan was not listed. I have found documents that indicate James was administrator of Hiram Morgan's will. I would really like to determine how Hiram died or what happened to him. I would also like to know any info on James Hiram Gillespie. He and C.L. Morgan and A.W. Moore apparently owned a Mercantile Store together. He may have served as County Clerk of Bastrop in the 1840s. I believe he also served in the Republic Army, the Texas Rangers and perhaps the Civil War, although he would have been in his late 50s by the Civil War period. There were several J. H. Gillespies in the area about that time and it is hard to determine which one the Muster Rolls are referring to. Thanks in Advance.
