Linda,
I received your email
through ILMORGAN-L mailing list [where you gave the link
to the Morgan county poorhouse records available on-line
with IRAD.]
I had to take the time
to tell you that I read word for word the story of your
record quest for your Great Great Grandmother. What an
amazing story and a labor of love.
I followed your
instructions and found my Great Great Grandparents,
William Higg [and family].
Actually other records
show their last name as Higgs. But nontheless I found
their stay with four children. I have a heavy heart
reading that they were all admitted December 26th the
day after Christmas. I can only imagine what
Christmas was like for this family. Most of my other
research shows 3 children so I can assume that ... they
did lose one child.
Thank you so much for
sharing your research!!!
Gratefully,
Jacque Patton
