Message Board Post:
Keziah Bridgewater Payne d 1812 was massacred at Pigeon Roost. I live only abt. 15 miles
from Pigeon Roost and have visited. I drove by it for years oblivious to any personal
connection to my family. Thankfully, with the help of these forums, I was able to link my
grt grt grt grandmother Keziah to this part of history.
Keziah Morgan McConnell b 1813 was her niece and namesake.
I am descended from this line through her son Samuel who remained in Indiana.
Samuel's (married Sarah Bess, a descendent of the Collings in the PR massacre)
daughter Kate was my grt. grandmother.
Most of Kate's (married Frank Klakamp/Kleekamp)descendants are still in the Jackson
County Indiana area.
Samuel and Melissa were siblings.
Do you have anything on "our" William Morgan's family history? The
Morgan's and Bridgewater's are plentiful
in this area, particularly Scott County, some were quite
successful. I have no information on the Coughman's either.
I know it has been sometime since your post, however, if you ever get to the area again I
would be happy to connect.
