    3. I'm searching for some information about my GGGgrandfather Morgan James who lived in Waukesha Co. (Ottawa Township) in 1850, moved to Waushara Co. (Springwater) by 1860, and then returned to Waukesha before he died. I have been able to assemble this information about him. He was born in Wales about 1797, came to the US in August of 1846. He married Ann ??, also born in Wales. Their children all born in Wales were Ann (my GG)b. 1825 who married John Carlin, twins Mary and Richard b. 1833, Thomas b. 1835 and Catherine (Cate) b. 1837. In 1850, Mary, Richard and Thomas were working and living at neighboring farms. Both sons died in the Civil War. The Waukesha Historical Society and Museum sent me his probate record dated 12-24-1869 in which he names wife Ann, and daughters Ann, Mary and Cate. His will was executed on 4-25-1866 (does this mean he died in 1866 or 1869?) The Museum also sent this information James R. Morgan (I think they reversed the names) born 1789, died June 27, 1869, buried Jerusalem Cemetery. I believe some of the conflicting birth date information is because there was another Morgan James in Waukesha. Does anyone have access to obits, death records, or cemetery lists who could help me figure out the correct date of death for my Morgan. I am also interested in finding what happened to Mary and Cate - who they married and info on their descendants. Is anyone familiar with this family? Thank You Leslie Jensen
