Hi Cheryl, Here is more info on Amos F. Morey and his father, John...
From the book, "History of Stark County, Vol 1" page 50.

Early in the '50s Rev. John Morey came. He founded the Methodist Church at Galva, which with Lafayette
and West Jersey constituted a circuit.

Rev. Amos Morey took charge of the circuit in 1857 and during
his first year granted about thirty letters to members of the congregation
who wanted to go West, chiefly to Kansas. This weakened the
church somewhat, but a revival, toward the close of the year added
about one hundred new members. Amos Morey died on January 14,
1892, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rhoda M. Jackson, in Abingdon,
Illinois. He was then seventy-nine years of age and had spent about fifty years in active work as a minister.

Mrs. Jackson now lives in Lafayette.

Hi Rhoda, I hope you still come here. I have an Amos Morey in my family tree with no other info. Only that he was the son of Asa and Elizabeth and the Brother of Philomena, Sarah, John, Isaac, Philomena, Sarah, John, Isaac, Asa and Jesse. I'm related to Asa whom is my 5th great grandfather. My grandmother is the last Morey in my line.
