James L. Morgan, his wife Ella Mae, their children, Maudelle Morgan Cooke Shepherd Swanzy, and Frances Helen Morgan Ferrell are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Timpson. Their son James P. Morgan is buried in Oaklawn Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas.

I believe that Mary Louise Morgan married Daniel Henry Johnson. They had a son Daniel Henry Johson, Jr. His wife is Carrie. They did live in the San Antonio, Texas, area.

Do you need previous generations of the Morgan family? I found a couple of sites at ancestry.com that traces the ancestry several generations from James Luther Morgan.

Marion,
It is unfortunate..the letter my Mother had given me from Frances dated 1978 had some family history and by the sound of it, Frances was willing to share a lot - my Mother never followed up and I just recently took up the mantle of finding family members.
But, your information provides me some names
Is it acceptable to ask for an address of Joe "Jody" Ferrell, Jr. of Timpson? I'm also a bit confused by the obit..she had a brother named Bill Morgan of Granbury? Wouldn't here brother's name be Lewis?

Yes, please please please send me whatever line you have for James Luther Morgan ancestory...

Thanks for any continuing help...

Warmest regards,
