Your message finally came up.
I have a David Morrison married to General James O'Hara's daughter Elizabeth Mary O'Hara. O'Hara Township in Pittsburgh was named after General James O'Hara. Col John Mitchell was his assistant.
The records are very clear at the main Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh. Margaret Mitchell's father Eugene Muse Mitchell received about $350,000 to build the first Carnegie Library out side the city of Pittsburgh in 1887. It would be the 7th library built and as I said, the first to be built outside the city of Pittsburgh. Since Margaret Mitchell father was born in 1866 that would make him 21 years old when he received the money.
Margaret Mitchell of course wrote the story Gone With the Wind. She used her fathers library in Atlanta for all her research for that book.
David Morrison seems to be related to the Crawford/Muse family who owned a steel plate company in Mckeesport. Margaret Mitchell's grandfather was Russell Crawford Mitchell.
There is other well recorded connection to David O Selznick and his Pittsburgh Selznick family. Of course David O Selznick produced the movie Gone With the Wind.
I have lots of records on this so this is not a coincidence.
