If you are researching Files and related families, you might be interested in information that I posted on Genforum sometime ago. Jacob Files (1832-1911) was the father of fifteen children born to three wives. He was the first to bring a thrashing machine (locomotive) into Morgan County. Residence was at Cherry Run, which was my father's birthplace.
