Morgan County Missouri Bios - John Carroll Vanpool 

I am active in Morgan County, Missouri research as most of my ancestors are
from Morgan, Moniteau, and Cole Counties and they started there in the early
1800's. They came from NC, KY, OH, TN and VA. Porter Saunders was my
mother's first cousin. He died in WW1 and is in the Morgan County Memorial
to lost soldiers from Morgan County. 
You see most of my family were Union but I also had some Southern
Sympathisers as ancestors and they were lost to their families just as my
Union ancestors were. The grief was no less great. In fact I think it was
greater since there was such a great division in Missouri during the Civil
War and the pain for their widows was even greater because of the choices
that were made.
Regards,
