Ginger - I am researching Allemong, Merchant and related families and would be very happy to share information. I am descended from Samuel Merchant (c 1799 - c 1873), married (1) Nancy Yost, (2) Mary Jane Allemong, through the Nancy Yost line. Samuel's son by Nancy Yost, John Merchant, married Ellen Catharine Allemong. I am trying to establish the exact relationship of these two Allemong women within the Allemong clan (and consequently to the other Morgan Co Allemongs that descend from Lewis), and also trying to chart out the Merchants, who came from the Mill Creek area of Berkeley County to what was to become Morgan County around 1808. Related families and/or near neighbors include Dawson, Stotler, Hovermale, Speelman, Henry, Aulabaugh, Michael, Gant, Grove, Beagant/Bageant.
