8. | Duncan Morgan was born on 8 Jun 1806 in Sampson County, North Carolina (son of Rueben Morgan and Dorcus Newton); died on 26 May 1881 in Magnolia Springs, Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Morgan Cemetery, Jasper County, Texas. Notes:
In her letter dated 12 September 1999, Jo Ann Lee Gartig writes that "Kenneth (Morgan) has asked me to pass on to you the information which he learned at the Morgan cemetery off the road to Roganville. This small square of land, surrounded by upright concrete posts with two strands of clothesline wire strung through them to provide a fence, is located on the back boundary of property now owned by an elderly gentleman named Leroy Walker. Mr. Walker did not know much about the history of the cemetery or the people in it, but he did say there was an Indian there. This might be Mary Morgan, wife of Daniel...The "rights" to the cemetery belong to W.D. "Bill" Morgan, and 83 year old man living in Orange, Texas. Bill Morgan keeps the cemetery cleaned. The cemetery has one double headstone which reads:
Duncan Morgan 6-08-1806 5-26-1881 Elizabeth Morgan 7-24-1816 4-12-1903
There were also seven ironstone rocks marking other graves.
In searching for this cemetery, Kenneth had stopped at houses along the road to ask about its locality. At the third house he came to, he learned from Mr. J.F. Ferguson that Kenneth's ancestors property was just up the road on Everitts Creek where the ancestor had once had a gristmill. This is how Kenneth met Mr. Walker and was shown the cemetery.
This cemetery by-the-way, is located on the headright of M.L. Morgan.
In a postscript to the letter dated 13 September 1999, Jo Ann adds that she called Bill Morgan at his home. He is the one responsible for placing the headstone for Duncan and Elizabeth Morgan in the "old Morgan cemetery" near Roganville. Unfortunately, he does not know about any of the other graves. He seemed to remember that a young boy was buried there. After I related the story of Dorcus Morgan Lee's youngest son Elias Banto (Lee) having bled to death after cutting his foot as a young teen, he recalled that his father had told that story also. It seems that the boy was at the grist mill on Everitts Creek which borders the land where the cemetery is when the accident happened. Whether this boy was Elias Banto Lee or not we will probably never know.

Nan stated that both family tradition and the Jasper 1860 census indicate that two member's of the Morgan family listed in 1850 and 1860 were actually slaves rather than children: G.W. age 18, and Joseph age 17, both listed as being "domestics." It is noted that neither were still living with the family after the Civil War.
