  2. Linton Morgan was my grandfather, thank you to everyone who posted his photo and information. His daughter Dixie Morgan Wise was my mother, and my sister Laura Lyn(1947-2008) was his namesake.

  3. Hi Chris! Thanks for your comment. If you happen to see this post again, we're trying to track down all of the descendants of Samuel Linton, including Linton Morgan and Mat Morgan's descendants. Drop me a line at who needs donuts 1 (that's all one word) at verizon dot net. Thanks!
