It's funny, when I got on with Travis, it came back and said that the name was already in use, so I tried Travis1, and it sent me to the lobby with 1046 chat choices. I tried genealogy, then genealogy2, and nothing seemed to work!!!

<marfa> 

Kathy, which Richardson are you searching?

Tombstone, have you written the Jackson County Historical Society to see if they have any information? They sent me a lot of information on Morgan’s that weren't mine. I'll go through my papers tomorrow and see if any are your Nancy.

<Travis4> 

I've been uploading cemetery pictures to my web site all week. I've got over 400 up so far.

<Granny> 

Travis, that's great! Wish someone would do that for my folks!

<Tombstone> 

Thanks Granny...I think my Nancy is a generation earlier than yours

<Granny> 

Tombstone, I think so too, but still she may be in some of the information they sent me. I had forgotten about it until just now.

ADM - Did you ever hear any more from the person who was researching the TRAVIS surname?

<huntsvilleADM> 

Travis--I'm on the phone.....just a minute

<Travis4> 

OK.

<huntsvilleADM> 

Travis.....I never heard from that person....and the awful thing is that I forgot who told me about it! It was someone's nephew who lived in Florida and was researching TRAVIS in Alabama.....I know WHERE I was (group function)...maybe I can remember who told me. Sorry.....

<Granny> 

MizB...was John Malon Morgan grandfather of Morgan W.?

<Don> 

Tombstone, what did you do in Austin...how did you get to Alabama

<Tombstone> 

Granny...Could Nancy be sibling of John Benton Morgan..maybe a cousin

<Travis4> 

ADM - Well, there are lots of TRAVIS folks out there except for mine!

<Granny> 

Tombstone, we aren't sure of anything before John Benton, and aren't sure of his siblings. There are several schools of thought there. It is possible. I know that there were other Morgan’s in DeKalb County when they lived there.

<MizB> 

Great Grandfather Granny

<Granny> 

Tombstone, I also know that the Morgan’s seemed to repeat names over and over again, so it is entirely that there is a connection somewhere!

<Granny> 

MizB, then was his grandfather?

<Granny> 

Was it Thomas Benton Morgan?

<huntsvilleADM> 

If you have your family trees printed out, please try to add some new SURNAMES.....sometimes, you'll get a break-through on another branch while looking for someone else.

<Tombstone> 

Don...I was a stockbroker and married to an attorney. All my exes live in Texas

<MizB> 

Granny I have his name as Thomas Edward??? His mother was Margaret Elizabeth.

<Travis4> 

All your money probably stayed in Texas 2!

<huntsvilleADM> 

I have Octavia Leora Crittenden GARNER m. Augustus Franklin EVANS 19 Dec. 1872 in Limestone Co.

<Don> 

Then you were smart to go to Alabama...in many ways. I have been to Bibb Co., 3 times and really enjoyed the trip. Hope to go in the near future.

<Tombstone> 

Travis..community property at the time. he kept the property..I left the community

<Granny> 

MizB...I knew when I typed it that Thomas Benton did not sound right! You are right. I was trying to tell westy yesterday what his connection was, and couldn't remember...I have it written down somewhere.

<Travis4> 

Well, all my exes live in Texas 2 along with my Air Force retirement pay.

* Granny
