I have a Moran Family Bible that belonged to my gg grandparents: John and Margaret Jane Moran. John was born June 24, 1814 in Ireland. He died May 15 1872. Margaret was born April 3, 1830 and died Jan 19, 1878. The children were: William May2, 1849, Thomas July 17, 1850, John R. Nov 12, l851, Elizabeth Jan 13 1854, David Jan. 16,1856, Martha Jane (Mattie) March 21,1858, George Dec. 27, l864 and Julyet Sept 2, l867. I found this family 1850 census Greene Co. Illinois and on the l860 Greene County, Illinois census. I do not know where these people died or were buried. John J. Moran was president of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. The town of Moran, Texas was named for him in l892. I would love to know more about this family. Martha (Mattie) was my g grandmother. Please contact me if this is your Moran family.
