Notes:

Married:
According to the 1910 census, John and Julia had been married 31 years, and this was their only marriage. Julia was the mother of 7 children, all of whom were living.

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:

Copied from the website of Ruby Boyett Burkett:

"In the end, Grand-father Noah left everything he owned to his younger son, James Noah. The copies of the legal papers we have, plainly state, in a will written on May 15, 1897:

First, it is my will that all of my just debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon as convenient after my death.

Second, it is my will that the said J. N. Boyett, my son, have all my interest in the homestead of one hundred and four acres of land, part of the N. Kelley and part of the A. C. Parmer , said interest to include all the improvements, such as houses, barns etc. After checking birth and death dates, I now know that James Noah was 23 years old when his father willed him all his property and that he was 39 years old when he died so he owned the place about 16 years, depending on whether he sold it or his wife sold it after his death.

I hereby appoint my brother L. B. Boyett executor of this my last will and it is further my will that no action be taken in the probate court except proof of this will, and filing an inventory of this the property, and no bond be required of my executor. In the testimony of all which I sign my name hereto in the presence of M. Morgan and William Turner.

So this will was written on May 15, 1897 and fifteen days later, on May 30, 1897, Grand-father Noah Boyett, passed from this earth and was buried beside his beloved wife, Susan, there beside their "Old Boyett Homestead" in Erin, Jasper Co., Texas, where they had lived, loved and reared their large family. They would never know that only one more of their children would be buried there beside them in the quiet of the beautiful countryside they loved so much---the place where they had experienced happy time, times of sorrow, times of loneliness and all the spectrum of emotions, which come to a married couple as they struggle through a lifetime of rearing a family. This pioneering couple also experienced the dreaded separation couples have feared down through the ages? that of war time. Noah was called away to serve in the Civil War. He had to leave his wife and children but fortunately, lived to return home to them. Many others, from that area of Jasper Co., were not as fortunate. They were buried in far away places, never to return to their families."

Noah married Susan Putnell on 27 Sep 1851 in Union County, Arkansas. Susan was born on 10 Nov 1837 in Alabama; died on 16 Feb 1889 in Erin, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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?

Notes:

Ruby Boyett Burkett writes that Ethel Dred Boyett was married three times: to Elizabeth Jane RUSSELL, by whom he had four children: Charlotte, Felix, William, and Eliza Ann BOYETT. He and Sarah SAUCER had six children. He and Nancy PORTER had another six children. He may have been married a fourth time, as at the time of the 1880 Census, his wife, age 36 and born in Georgia, was listed as Margaret.

In a letter from Nan McCoy Kittell to Melinda Strong on June 25, 1999, Nan wrote "that Ethel Dred Boyette was buried Spring Branch cemetery near Springfield LA with his 3rd wife; his parents believed to be Edward and Rebecca Boyett, Sr." She further wrote that "Boit" is the correct way to pronounce the name, although some family members use "Boy-ett."

He was shown as Edward at the time of the 1860 Census, as was his namesake son.
