I will assume that we are talking about the same two people. My James Morgan was b. Jan. 22, 1828 and died Aug 8, 1888. He was the son of Daniel Morgan and Mary (maiden name unknown). Mary is said to have been a full blood native American, possibly Creek. James is buried in the Withers Cemetery in Jasper Co., TX (south of Jasper). Land Patent: Oct. 3, 1860, 160 acres in Jasper Co., TX Pt. #511, vol. 30, File 299. Daniel and Mary are buried in Jasper Co., south of Jasper and near the small community of Roganville on private land. James was the brother of my great grandmother, Dorcus Morgan who married Elias M.C. Lee in Decatur Ga. I know absolutely nothing about the Harrell family since I have only just learned of Nancy's maiden name from you. Thank you for that information. In the Jasper County, TX Census for 1860 thee was a James Morgan 32, farmer b. NC. Wife, Nancy 26, b. FL , with daughter Mary 4, b. TX, son Joseph 2, b. TX, daughter Susan, 5 mo. b. TX and a "domestic" 62, male named Olive Harrel, born in NC. That is a connection right there, the "Harrel". I have a lot more on the Morgan family if you need any of it. The Harrell line is just too far out on the tree limb for me to persue it. Hope this has helped you. Jo Ann Lee Gartig
