James Oliver Morgan1

Male, #39596, (1794 - )
Birth*1794 James was born at Edgefield District, South Carolina, in 1794. 
Marriage*1814 He married Mary Dathney at Augusta, Richmond Co., Georgia, in 1814. 
Biography* The progenitor of most Morgan descendants of Covington County was James Oliver Morgan, born in 1794 in Edgefield County, S.C. In 1816, he was married in Augusta, Ga., to Mary Dathney, who was born in 1794 in North Carolina.

Soon after their marriage, the young couple made their home in Greene County, Ga., where their first two children were born. They moved next to Henry County, where the remainder of their children were born. A few years later, the family moved further west to Columbus in Muscogee County, Georgia.

While living in Columbus, the children began to choose mates and form their own families. By the 1850 U.S. Census of Muscogee County, the family had only the youngest three children still residing at home.

James Oliver and Mary reared the following children: Green Berry, b. 1818, d. 1906, m. Darkis Tabitha Taylor; William Boynton, b. 1819, d. 1908, m. (1) Nancy Coffee (2) Nancy Wallace; James Jackson, b. 1822, d. 1898, m. (1) Susan Cartledge (2) Rebecca Eleanor Coffee; Lucinda A., b. 1825, d. 1855, m. Calvin Bland; Cynthia, b. ca 1826; Christopher Columbus, b. 1828, d. before 1900, m. Adaline Culpepper; Elijah Oliver, b. 1829, d. 1911, m. Sophia Ann Lanier; Thomas S., b. ca 1833, d. 1865, m. Nancy Askew and Julia A., b. ca 1836.

During the 1850s, some members of the family became attracted to south Alabama. It was probably, as it was for so many other families, the lure of cheap land featuring virgin forests and rich soil.
