I have some info. on Morgan and his family. He was born 5-14-1858 and died 2-14-1938. His wife went by "Ebbie" and his parents were William Carroll "Dove" Poarch 11-20-1822 to 12-18-1848 and Lucinda Caroline Massey 12-27-1830 to 2-16-1911. Williams' parents were John Carroll Poarch and Nancy Maddox which I need more info on. Morgan and Ebbie had 12 children. I'll be happy to give you their names etc... if you like. Please e-mail me, I'm happy to share.

Thank you so much for your reply. I did know that my Great Grandmother's nick-name was Ebbie and had totally forgotten it. I would love to know all of the names of Morgan's children. It is my understanding that he only had 5 children with Ebbie they were Orin, Earnest, Anna Belle, Bertha (my grandmother) and Arcie. Ebbie died during the birth of Arcie. I do know that there was a stepmother and that she and Morgan did have more children. I also believe that Morgan was a Methodist minister for some period of his life.
I have photo's of Morgan and ironically one of my brothers is a dead ringer for him.
Thank you so much for sharing your information I am very appreciative of what you have given me and will be delighted to receive any other information that you have.
I would like to know where you fit into this family tree.

Oops! I re-read my message to you and realized that I made a mistake. Morgan and Ebbie didn't have 12 children, Morgan was one of 12 children by William Carroll Poarch and Lucinda Caroline Massey. I'll be happy to send that info. if you would like and I'll keep looking for Morgans' family by his second wife. By the way, Morgans' father William was my ggggrandfather John Carroll Porch's brother. Morgan was my 1/2 1st cousin 3 times removed. (As per my family tree maker software). Debbie
