  2. Mattie MORGAN (Living)

    Mary's Notes:
    KY Birth Index: "Mary DURHAM" born 8 Apr 1926, Letcher Co; mother, Cocial DURHAM. Volume 60, Certificate #29608. (I believe this should say "Mary MORGAN.")

    This child does not show up on the 1930 Census, so I presume she has died.

  6. Horne D. MORGAN (Living)
