You might try Nash NC for your Morgan's as that is where my line comes from and we have a Elizabeth Selah Milton married to a James Morgan. Her father was Zacariah Milton born 1720 Married to Sarah Thomas she had a son Named James. I am sending you some of my research on this line. Our family Moved to Alabama in 1830 and descended from Ezekiel Morgan b 1797. I have wills on Zac Milton but I am not at home so I can not send them to you now, but if you think it is your line I will look for them the next time I am home. The Miltons were from rocky Mt NC and there is lots of information on them in the gen lib. on NC
