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!!! |

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

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

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> |

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 Morgans in DeKalb County when they lived
there. |
|
<MizB> |
Great
Grandfather Granny |
|
<Granny> |
Tombstone,
I also know that the Morgans 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. |

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. |
