In the ever fascinating world of Ghosts of my Clans I decided to switch it up and my eyes fell upon the name Morgan. I am today going to hunt the Ghost Morgan Given. He is a 1st cousin 4x removed. We share a Very Great Grandfather William Given.
Morgan one of 13 children was born 1848 in Virginia and is the son of James Given and Ruth his wife. At the age of 2 he is living with his family in the area of Braxton, Virginia. In 1860 Morgan is 12, still living in Braxton and attends school. In 1867 Morgan's mother dies and in 1870 there are still 6 children in the home the youngest is only 5. Morgan helps his father maintain and run the farm.
In December of 1872 Morgan marries Melsena Friend in Clay County, West Virginia. In 1873 Morgan's first child is born. He lives only 8 months. 1880 we find Morgan in Birch, Braxton County, West Virginia farming with his wife and 2 young sons.
Morgan is still living in Birch by 1900 and working his farm with his 4 sons.
In June of 1907 Morgan passes.
