Looking for family that might have additional info.
My ancestor Esther
Johnston, but legal and married name are Esther
Johnson. Esther's marriage bondsman, and thus probably her family, which we are led to believe by other sources, was John Frederick
Morgan. Esther was related to a highly thought of Daniel
Morgan that we believe to be Gen Daniel
Morgan of the Revolution, also due to other sources. Two daughters and one grandson of Esther intermarried with children/grandchildren of Chris Funkhouser/Margaret Young. One of Chris and Margaret's children was Young
Funkhouser after her family and one child was named Lee
Funkhouser, also probably after her family. Another child, Isaac
Funkhouser married another Young, named Mary
Polly Young, and had a grand child that married Andrew
Jackson Lee, brother of a George W. Lee.
We have recorded in our family names every generation from Chris
Funkhouser and Margaret Young to the present the name Lee, Robert Lee, Roberta, or
Virginia Lee. There is also family stories stating that the Funkhouser's were cousin to a Col. Robert E. Lee, before he became the Civil War General. Much additional info exists suggesting that this is highly likely.
Have reason to believe that this John Frederick
Morgan was related to a highly thought of Daniel
Morgan, believed by us to possibly be Gen Daniel
Morgan. John Frederick
Morgan was bondsman in marriage of Esther
Johnson to
Zachariah Cross in
Logan County,
Ky in August 1790 or August 1792, depending on family claim of date or transcribed record of original that has not yet been verified on original.
Trying to find lineage of John Frederick
Morgan, and his family relationship to this Daniel
Morgan, whomever he is. Marriage of Esther
Johnson and
Zachariah Cross were in
Logan County,
Ky but marriage was recorded in
Sumner County, Tenn where the Regional
Court was.
Can anyone assist???
Thanks,
Ernest
