Robert married Augusta Smith on 28 Dec 1892 in Jasper, Jasper County, Texas. Augusta (daughter of Jasper Smith and Martha Swinney) was born on 6 Dec 1875 in Texas; died on 20 May 1910 in Jasper, Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Zion Hill Cemetery, Jasper, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Nan McCoy Kittell instead shows her as the daughter of Oran or Oregon Smith.

Notes:

Married:
The 1900 census showed that she was the mother of 4 children, three still living. She and Manley had been married for 7 years. As of the 1910 census, it was indicated that they had been married 16 years, and that she was the mother of 8 children, 7 of whom were living. Laura Buckmaster shows 2 children not shown on the census. They are Mattie and Mary. One of these children may have been the child that died. But unless Augusta died in childbirth, it is unlikely their was a ninth child. The 1910 census was taken on the 21 Day of April, 1910. Gussie is shown as having died just a month later, on May 20, 1910.

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.
