Archie married Julia A. Morgan on 16 Feb 1898 in Newton County, Texas. Julia (daughter of James M. Morgan and Nancy Harrell) was born on 16 Apr 1876 in Texas; died on 25 Dec 1967 in Kirbyville, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James appears to have been the trailblazer in the family. In 1850, he was already in Jasper County, Texas, while his parents and siblings were still in Decatur County, Georgia. He was listed as a laborer in the home of 74 year old Elijah ISAACS, born in South Carolina. The rest of the family arrived after James, moving to Jasper sometime prior to the 1860 census. Elijah ISAACS is said to be the son of Samuel ISAACS of Lincoln Co., TN; Pendleton Co, S.C, Wilkes Co, N.C. and Lincoln Co, TN. He was a twin, his brother being Elisha ISAACS. He was married to Esther Donaho. Steve Moody, a descendant of Elijah ISAACS, wrote me that "Elija Isaacks' mother was Mary Morgan, daughter of Joseph Morgan Jr. I've never been able to figure out how James was related, I thought maybe he was a cousin."

Morgan, James 23 Jan.1828-8 Aug.1888 "In Memory of James Morgan- Age 60 Years, 6 Mos and 16 Days. "Enter Thou Info The Joy Of The Lord. Sweetly Resting Here Secure From All Alarms. Although We Grieve Still We Believe Them Safe In Jesus Arms" Fair Condition

Floyd Boyett sent an email, dated April 2, 2006, with the following information about the Military service of James Morgan:

"The family is on the indigent list for Jasper Co., James is the only James (or J. M.) Morgan on the 1860 Jasper census and the only James (or J. M.) Morgan on the 1870 Jasper census. Also found James M. Morgan, son of Daniel and Mary, listed in "Civil War Soldiers of Jasper and Newton Counties of Texas" published by Ericson Books of Nacogdoches, Texas. Also found J. Morgan on the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System web site that was in the 13th Texas Calvary, Burnett's Regiment. I think we can safely say this is our man. He has no Confederate headstone."
