Notes:

Kenneth Morgan reported that his grandfather, Thomas Marion Morgan, loved his "Uncle Mal" and spent much time in his household when he was growing up. He said Mal was a sleepwalker, and the boys tried to watch out for him at night to prevent him from getting hurt. Early one morning, Mal asked the boys to go with him to their field across the creek to bring a turning plow back to the garden. When they arrived at the field the plow was missing, and they began to study tracks closely in the plowed ground. They found Mal's barefoot tracks where he had picked up the plow and walked across the creek on a log. Arriving back at the garden near the house they found the plow. Mal remembered nothing about the trip in the moonlight.

Notes:

Married:
Barbara Yancey Dore indicated she could not find their marriage recorded in either Jasper, Newton of Sabine county. She further shows them being the parents of as many as 17 children. She also shows that Henry had two children by his first marriage to Susan WILLIAMS. Those children were sons, Jim and Adam.

Notes:

John was said to have died in South Carolina before his family moved to Georgia. However, since he was married in Georgia he probably actually died after the move to Georgia, but before the family moved on to Texas and Florida.It appears that he did die prior to the 1840, because his widow, Hannah Morgan is listed as the head of household in the "1840 Decatur County Georgia Census Index " (Frances T. Ingmire, Mountain Press).

John's five children, along with a 28 year old "Mrs. Morgan," are listed in the 1850 Decatur County, GA census in household #521. They live nearby to the McLemores, Boyetts, Morgans, and Kellys. It appears that John may have remarried, as his apparent widow, age 28, was too young to be the mother of any but the very youngest of his five children, who ranged in age from 14 to 23. This potential second wife would have been born circa 1822.

The online Decatur County, Georgia census for 1850 lists the family as follows:

521 521
Morgan Mrs.? 28 F SC
Morgan Malachi 23 M Laborer GA
Morgan Wm. 18 M Laborer GA
Morgan Maria 20 F GA
Morgan Reubin 16 M Laborer GA
Morgan Martha 14 F GA

John married Hannah Kelley on 1 Mar 1827 in Decatur County, Georgia. Hannah (daughter of Malachi Kelley and Sarah Singletary) was born before 1810 in South Carolina; died after 1840. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From the marriage records, and from the estate settlement of her father, Malachi Kelley, it appears that John Morgan was married to Hannah Kelley, and that she was the mother of his children. Hannah Morgan is listed as living next door to Malachi Kelly in Decatur County, Georgia at the time of the 1840 federal census.

Her household was composed of the following members:
2 males 5-10
1 male 10-15
1 female under 5
1 female 5-10
1 female 20-30

It appears from the 1850 Decatur County, Georgia census, that Hannah may have also died before 1850, as her children are living with a 28 year old "Mrs. Morgan." Unless her age is in error, however, the woman listed on the census appears to be too young to be the mother of the children.

The Estate of Malichi Kelley (Hannah's father) was probated in 1857, and Hannah was not an heir. However, two of her children Malichi Morgan and Kizzie Morgan were heirs. It would therefore appear that Hannah Kelley Morgan died sometime before 1857. There was, however, a Hannah Morgan who was granted a land patent for 252 acres of land in Jasper County, Texas on October 23, 1858 (Patent #204. Vl 18, File No 156). Could this possibly be a different Hannah Morgan?

Robert married Sarah Ann Kyle before 1847. Sarah was born about 1826 in Florida; died after 1852 in Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Barbara Yancey Dore shows that he was married three times, first to Nancy Ann ANDREWS, by whom he had 7 children, second to Martha, the widowed Mrs. Baker, by whom he had three children, and finally to Penelope "Penny" Eliza WIGGINS, with whom he did not have children. It is possible that youngest daughter Maria may have actually been born to his third wife, Penny, as she is not listed on the 1860 census with her brothers and widowed father. Dore also indicates he was a First Lt. in the Texas Army.

Leslie Anne Ferguson (lesanne357@aol.com) writes that he participated in the "Siege of Bexar" with a contingent from Jasper County. He went back home before the Battle of the Alamo. She indicates that Martin S. Byerly, along with his two sons, William and Adam, moved to Texas from South Carolina in 1833. She shows Adam as born in Newberry County, South Carolina.

The following additional information about the Byerly family is copied from Leslie's tree at Rootsweb's WorldConnect.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lesanne17&id=I31055

The Texas Historical Commission has erected a marker in the Byerly Campground Cemetary, which tells the following history:

"Adam Byerly migrated to Texas from South Carolina in 1833 with his father and two younger brothers. He received a mexican land grant of one-quarter league in 1835. Shortly afterward, he invited the Reverand Henry Stephenson, early Methodist missionary, to preach under a brush aubor on his property and initiated the first of many camp meetings at this site. Pioneer families travelled by wagon and camped here for a week or longer to worship and socialize. At one meeting about 1937, the Reverand Stephenson's daughter, Edith (1814-1858) married Adam Byerly's brother William (1805-1884).

In 1843 Adam and his wife Nancy deeded 10 acres, including the campground site, to the Methodist Episcopal church. About 1850, the Methodists erected a frame church building and opened this cemetary for community use. Earliest known grave is that of Edith Stephenson Byerly.
Several faiths shared use of the church building form 1898 to 1937, the structure also housed the community school. Camp meetings ended in the 1930's. The methodist congregation erected a new church in 1948 on land donated by William Byerly's grandson, Adam, and the old building was razed. A cemetery association formed in 1970, maintains the burial ground. (1977)"
