The early John Whitlock Radford and Thomas Morgan families in America intermarried, forming the beginning of our Morgan/Radford
clan
Above is a portrait of John Whitlock Radford, probably taken before, but not too long before, he left Utah to go to Wyoming in 1888.  Above: John Whitlock Radford (1814-1889), and Rachel Leah Smith (Ross) Radford (1822-1894). This picture was probably taken at the time of their wedding in 1845. This picture looks like a cross between a photograph and a painting because it is a tintype (photograph on a tin plate) that has been hand colored. |

Rachel Leah Smith first married Andrew Jackson Ross in Tennessee in 1838. To this marriage was born James Richard Ross (1839)
and Melvin Ross (1842). Andrew Jackson Ross was killed in 1843 when he was thrown from a load of timber while coming down
out of the Tennesse mountains.
Rachel Leah Smith married John Whitlock Radford in 1845 in Illinois. The Smith, Braswell and Agee familes (Rachel Leah Smith's family) Click on the link above to read a history of the Smith, Braswell and Agee families who were Rachel Leah Smith's ancestors. In the picture below are John Whitlock Radford, Rachel Leah Smith (Ross) Radford and some of her family from her first marriage to Andrew Jackson Ross. Leah's son James Richard Ross, his wife and some of his children are in the picture. Her son Melvin Ross is not in the picture because this picture was taken about 1880 and Melvin was listed in the 1880 census as being in the Utah Territorial Prison. Melvin Ross's first wife, Julia Elizabeth Smith Ross is not in the picture because she had died from injuries incurred in a wagon accident in 1878. Some of Melvin and Julia's children are in the picture.
