Oh, yeah, the women in Nevada-area have huge bug eyes that half close. They always look so sleepy. As a teacher, how do you equate that with IQ? Yeah. I took some photos of some of the women not long ago--but my old camera requires that I send the film away to the East (Ohio, or Ill.? My daughter knows.) My husband had the same eyes. Look at pic of Daniel Boone and you will see what I mean! He and my niece by marriage next door and her 5 kids and her mom and her sis in CO and another sis in CA all have those eyes!
From the man;y books I read on Morgans before I started this project, I found several different references saying how the Gen. had such unusual intense blue eyes--like my husband's eyes. Also there were several times the writers wrote about the General's beautiful, creamy, flawless complextion. Several of those nieces with sleepy eyes have the jet black hair, like my husband, his mom, sisters, nieces, a nephew, and several great nieces and great nephews. The women have hook noses from their old German dad from Kiev, Russia. My mother-in-law, whose notes I deciphered, had jet black hair in youth and said that is the Welsh, plus blue eyes, in them. Her turned up, pug nose was hooked after she fell (as a mom with a baby in arms onto her face! Her granddaughter, Dr. Robin Titus in the valley is quite lovely: same blue eyes (only hers are not sleepy) and jet black hair. Her nose if the little pug nose and her daughter and granddaughter have it! They have the same blue eyes (only open)--but not the jet black hair. Aren't genes sometimes strange?
The Daniel Boone pixs I've seen,and he's facing the artist, do not show too much droopy eye. But it is evident in the women I just pointed out. Gen. Morgan stood at 6 ft. or slightly taller. Writers comment about his height and strength. Most men about that time stood around 5 ' 7"
The Morgans, blacksmiths in Wales, plied their trade in the Colonies. Might was so important! My mother-in-law, Laura Dickinson Miller, was about 5 ' tall and he daughters stand about 5'3".
Thanks for listening. Mary Ann
