If you have any other info abut him or his immediate family, or if you have scanned copies of the wills, feel free to send them to me (mchhistory@verizon.net). I'd love to see them.

Many thanks for the post. There were several errors in the original 1987 NHR documentation, however, so to set the record straight: the Mary Morgan who sold the farm in 1857 was William's second wife (not his daughter). William was born about 1862, probably in New Castle County. It's likely that he used an inheritance from his father to buy the 235 acres, living there initially with his first wife, Martha Williams, and their three children, all of whom predeceased him. I have copies of William's and Mary's wills if anyone is interested in the family.<br /><br />James Hollins/Hollands was a neighbor of the Morgans. He and his daughter, Jane, are named in William's will and Margaret is named in Mary Morgan's will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-28451958346411544382011-08-16T20:27:22.806-04:002011-08-16T20:27:22.806-04:00John, Thank you for identifying Esther!

I can't imagine what it must have been like for him to lose two infants and a wife within 2 years, then another child 4 years later. So then maybe it was Hannah, the second wife we didn't even know about, who ended up selling the farm after Milton's passing.<br /><br />Thanks again John for sharing this information on what I'll guess is some part of your family.
