FROM THE 1850 CENSUS -- Myatt Township, Lawrence County, Arkansas

Household 746: [older children of William from a previous marriage]
Morgan, James, 23
Henderson W, 21
Mary, 17

(Older married children living in separate households would include:
Allen, Hugh, Martha (Nighton), William M.)

HOUSEHOLD 747:
Morgan, William, 51
Delveny, 24
Emily, 16
John, 12
Rodney, 11
Hariett, 5 (eldest child of Delveny)
Alford, 2
Morgan, 3/12
==============================================================

- Alford and Morgan do not appear again in the census and apparently died as toddlers..
- Two more children follow: Sarah Catherine in 1856, Jesse in 1854. They are found in the 1860 Census living with relatives. In 1870 they are found living in Wayne Co, MO, with their older sister, Harriet, now the wife of James Lewis Gentry.

William has apparently died by 1860 as he doesn't appear in the census that year and the children are living with other families at that time.

They lived in Myatt township, which today is in Sharp County, north west of Walnut Ridge and south of Mammoth Spring, near the Missouri border.

In the 1850 census, William and Delveny (Pearce) Morgan lived with their children (from both marriages) near the Pearces (probably Delveny's family), the Brackens (Delveny's mother's family), and the Lasiters. Hariett married a Lasiter (or Laster) who was killed during the Civil War, before she met and married James Louis Gentry.

Further research is necessary to determine if Hariett's first husband was one of the neighboring Lasiter boys
(there were several her age and older - see below).

As seen from the list below, the Morgan, Bracken, Pearce, Ferguson and Lasiter families were very intermixed, living almost communally in what was probably one very large extended family of parents, children, grandchildren, cousins and in-laws. This pattern was apparently common in Arkansas during this era. See, for example the McMillans and Kuykendalls in Faulkner County.

Notas:

Was living with James L. Gentry and Harriet (Morgan) Gentry in 1870 in Wayne Co, Missouri. Jessee appears to be Harriet's younger brother.

An 8 year-old Jesse Morgan appears in the 1860 census for Lawrence Co (Jackson Twp.), Arkansas living in the household of a Susan Walker, age 56 and her two children. Are these the same Jesse Morgan?

In the same year Harriet, age 13, is living under the roof of Rodney H. and Sarah Armstrong of Lawrence Co (North Township), Arkansas.

What has happened to the parents of Harriet, Jesse and Sarah?

(Not sure this is the correct Jesse Morgan, but with a daughter named Delpha, it is very likely, despite the wrong birthplace for his mother)

If so, then we find him again listed as a widow in Sharp Co, Arkansas, living in the home of his wife's parents, Sam and Nancy Fookes, with two children, Josephine (b. Jan 1883) and Jefferson J. (b. Nov 1883).

The birth of Jefferson so close after Josephine could well have been the cause of Elizabeth's death...

However, in 1910, Jesse is living with wife "Lizzie" of the same age:

These look like Jesse's children, being taken care of for him after his wife's death. 10 years later some are back with him and his new wife "Lizzie".
RESEARCH: Who is this Georgie A Morgan? Probably the widow of one of Jesse's brothers...

Apparently died young.

The 1900 census has Harriet L Gentry as the mother of 12 children, 11 still living. Mary A. is the only child not accounted for at that time and of which there is no current family memory. She must have died between 1880 (age 4) and 1900 (age 24), but when and how?
