Elizabeth Morgan

1830 - 1902  (71 years)

• Name	Elizabeth Morgan
  Birth	31 Dec 1830	North Carolina   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	13 Dec 1902	Kirbyville, Jasper County, Texas   [1]
  Burial	Magnolia Springs Cemetery, Magnolia Springs, Jasper County, Texas
  Notes	Said by some to have been born in Surry County, NC, but no proof cited. This seems unlikely as the family was listed in Sampson County as of the 1830 census. Carolyn Lockhart wrote that after the death of Sion Jones in Georgia "Elizabeth sold her land in Decatur County (ca 1868) and came to Texas. She and [her widowed sister] Dorcas Lee had about 9 children with them. Someone met them in Galveston and it was the first time she had ever seen an iron cook stove. She instructed her kids not to mention their Indian ancestry. She herself never mentioned it even though she always wore fringes on her dresses to remind her own self of her heritage. She was 61 when she died, never remarried and never filed a pension from Sion Jones CSA record." In a letter from Carolyn Lockhart, she states that Elizabeth died in the home of her oldest son, Newton B. Jones. Like the Morgan's, the Jones family were also of Welsh ancestry. The Hawthorne family were neighbors in Georgia and also in Jasper County. Ruby Boyett showed she died in 1897, but this can not be correct as (1) she had a daughter born in 1899 (2) she can be found on the 1900 census with her husband and children and (3) her tombstone is said to be inscribed 13 Dec 1902.

  mtDNA results for, Mary UNKNOWN, the wife of Daniel Morgan Haplogroup HV results, from a direct female descendant Daniel Morgan's wife Mary. The mtDNA came from the following line of descent: Mary; Elizabeth MORGAN (daughter of Daniel and Mary); Sarah Jane JONES (daughter of Elizabeth and Sion JONES); Ida JONES (daughter of Sarah Jones and Henry Cochran JONES); Private (daughter of Ida Jones and Charles GIBSON); and Private (granddaughter of Ida Jones). It was hoped we could prove that Mary's maternal line was Native American, as has long been rumored. However, the HV Haplogroup is considered to have Western European origins, and is in fact one of the most common mtDNA signatures found in Europe.
