My ancestor, Samuel H. Morgan, death records indicated that he was born in Ohio Co., WV, approximately January 1822. A marriage took place in Brooke Co between Edward Morgan and Elizabeth Hedges on January 13, 1820. The 1820 census for Ohio Co., WV listed an Edward, wife and no children and I believe this to be the same Edward and Elizabeth who were married in Brooke Co. In the 1830, Brooke Co, I found Edward and wife with three children (Samuel fits the age bracket (5-10) for a male child) The 1840 census indicated the wife of Edward Morgan was listed in another age bracket, which I'm assuming Edward's first wife (Elizabeth) could have died prior to 1840, or there was an error in the census. (Samuel fits in the age bracket (15-20) for a male child). In the 1850 census in Ohio Co (believe to be the same Edward in the 1830-1840 census in Brooke Co. His wife is listed as Margaret. There is a span between the ages of the children, a gap of seven years, which could indicate the 1st wife (Elizabeth) might have died. Samuel Morgan marriage records were found in Belmont Co. Ohio. He had married Mary Elizabeth Gilliland on February 13, 1844. Mary's father, Thomas Gilliland, was born in Ohio Co and in the early 1800's removed to Belmont Co. It has been said, that Thomas's father had married a Morgan. So there might be a connection as why Samuel was in Belmont Co. Samuel and Mary are in Morgan Co., Ohio in the 1850-1860 census and in 1870 census in Washington Co., Ohio. Samuel died in 1873 and Mary in 1879 and both are buried in the Beverly Cemetery in Washington Co., Ohio. If there is any one who might have information on Edward and Elizabeth, I would appreciate the help. My research for the Morgan family has been a slow process since my grandfather had died at an early age and my grandmother knew little about his family. She lived in California and her father's family lived in Ohio, so there was little contact with family members. Again, any help with this family will be much appreciated. Linda Kent Cave Junction, OR
