Thank you I think this will help us in our further research of this family. Carolyn Aaron Iredell Morgan was born Oct 1820 in Whitley Co. Kentucky the son of William Morgan and Elizabeth Bobbitt. Iredell's family subsequently moved to Shelby Co. Illinois where he married Lucretia Webb 9 June 1843 Shelby Co Illinois, dtr of John Webb and Elizabeth Young of Nashville, Davidson Co Tennessee and who migrated to Shelby Co Illinois where they both died. Lucretia was born abt 1824 Davidson Co Tennesee. It is not certain when she died or where. Iredell remained in Shelby Co Illinois until 1855 when he left and arrived in Parker Co Texas in 1856. On 22 Jan 1861 he purchased 160 acres in Parker Co. Texas. He was a blacksmith, as was his father, and many of his male descendants also were blacksmiths. The first seven of his 10 children were born in Shelby Co Illinois. The last three being born in Parker Co Texas. I'm am not certain when Lucretia died but sometime between 1866 and 1870 after the birth of her last child Martha Ann Morgan. By 1870 Iredell had lost his wife and left Parker Co Texas and went to the area of Southwest City, McDonald Co. Missouri. He remarried a second time 27 July 1871 McDonald Co. Missouri to Elizabeth "Lizzy" Boosby, whom I believe was a widow with several children. I also think her last name is misspelled and that it may have been BUSBY. He remained in McDonald Co Missouri for a few years after his 2nd marriage, when he once again returned to Texas. With his 2nd wife he had one son. This time he settled in Jack County for a number of years and by 1900 had moved in with his youngest daughter Martha Ann Morgan and her husband Jefferson D. Acord in Wise Co.
