Starkey married Arrilla Freeman on 24 Nov 1901 in Buna, Jasper County, Texas. Arrilla (daughter of Joseph Burrel Freeman and Olive Theodocia "Docia" Morgan) was born on 6 Feb 1884 in Buna, Jasper County, Texas; died on 15 Jun 1970 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Sandra Meier notes that the marriage license was filed in Newton County, Vol H, page 246.

Notes:

Sandra Meier shows him as the son of Andrew FREEMAN and Polly SIMPKINS.

After Olive died, Joseph remarried. At the time of the 1900 census, Joseph was living with his second wife, Lavernia, in Newton County Texas, along with Arrilla, John and Alice, all born to he and Olive, and with his four children by Lavernia, Prentice, Myrtle, Jesse and Maud. The census indicates they married circa 1891, and that Lavernia was the mother of 4 children, all of whom were still living. An 18 year old Gilbert HANY, listed as a boarder, was living with them as well. Perhaps he was a brother of Lavernia's.

Joseph married Olive Theodocia "Docia" Morgan on 4 Mar 1883 in Jasper County, Texas. Olive (daughter of James M. Morgan and Nancy Harrell) was born on 21 Nov 1864 in Texas; died about 1889 in Buna, Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Withers Cemetery, 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."
