John Morgan

1800 - Bef 1840  (~ 41 years)

• Name	John Morgan  [1]
  Born	Between 1798 and 1800	North Carolina
  Gender	Male
  Died	Bef 1840  [2, 3]
  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
