Wanda,
I hesitate to start doing look-ups. I could get into more work than I have time for. I
can tell you there are hundreds of names referenced, but no guarantees that yours will be
among them. Certainly people with several families will be more likely to find ancestors.
If you have just one ancestor here, and he died very early, you are less likely to find
him.
Many of the articles that were included date from when local news was given in the
newspapers. Remember that very early papers mostly related national or world events.

Sharon,
I had a relative that died in Morgan County about 1829.
Can you tell me if there are any Matlock families listed.
Thanks,
Wanda in CO

For those of you who enjoyed "Pioneers of Morgan
County" by Noah Major, get
ready to be excited again!
Some of you may know of former county historian
Becky Hardin, now deceased,
and her work over many years to acquire and share
Morgan County History.
Becky, with the help of others, put together two
Morgan County Scrapbooks, Vol I
and II. Each is a compilation of
information on the county. Scrapbook I
has been reprinted for some years and is available
through Morgan County
History and Genealogy Association. You can go
to the MCHGA web page for that
information.
There has been a lot of interest in getting Scrapbook
II reprinted. Becky
Hardin's family was willing for MCHGA to republish
this work, originally
published in 1989. It is hot off the presses, an 8
1/2" by 11" soft cover book of
512 pages done in "perfect" binding, which
means book type binding.
Contents include sections on schools, churches,
lodges, other organizations, each
township, and miscellaneous and name/place
index. Most information was
extracted by Becky Hardin and others from Morgan
County newspapers. There are many
pictures of Morgan County groups and places.
The miscellaneous category includes information
circa 1940 about known
cemeteries, schools, and churches. There are
some bits of local history and
defunct newspapers, and best of all.....a name and
place index.
This information is now on the MCHGA website.
You can go there to download
an order form. Notice that tax is paid only
by Indiana residents. The
pricing structure is favorable to members.
Besides some great meetings, quarterly newsletters come
with the membership,
including articles on Morgan County families and
places. More information
about membership can be obtained on the website.
We hope there is value in this book for many
listers. It includes much
compiled information that could be useful in family
research. The index goes
from page 466 to page 507.
I hope there's information there for each of you.

Morgan Co History and Geneaology Association
