WILLIAM HENRY MORGAN FAMILY
William Henry MORGAN was- born 10 December 1848 in Hamburg,
Macon County; Georgia and died 27 October 1922 in Brazos County,
Texas. He -was the son of Thomas Hurry MORGAN, -born 8 December 1810
in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and died 24 January 1896 in Hamburg;
Georgia. His mother was Elizabeth Jane SMITH. She died 8
September 1851 in Hamburg, Georgia.
William H. MORGAN left his native Macon County, Georgia after
the Civil War in the early 1870's. He was employed on a well-
drilling crew bound for Texas. After a period of time, he went
back to Georgia only to return with a group of friends and
relatives to settle permanently in Brazos County near the community
now known as Reliance.
There were eight f a m i l i e s that came from Macon County, Georgia
and settled in what they referred to as "Little Georgia ". These
eight families were: James.Ely MATHIS, W. H. MORGAN, J. R. SMITH,
J. E. SMITH, A. W. SHEALY, George W. SAXON, John P. JONES,- and
William JONES. One of the James Ely MATHIS descendants told us
that they were all related families with'the exception of the
George W. SAXON family.
This same descendent of James Ely MATHIS also told us that the
families came by boat from Mobile, Alabama to Galveston, Texas
where they secured wagons and teams for the remainder of their trip
to Brazos County. The of the community was later changed from
Little Georgia to °Reliance. It was changed to Reliance by David
S. LLOYD of Mississippi who was one of the original trustees when
the land was deeded for building a school or chruch. The name
Reliance was chosen because it depicted confidence, dependence and
a ground of trust.
William Henry MORGAN and Martha HAMMOND of Kurten, Texas were
married on 20 December 1877, and the couple moved into their home
that day on land that WilliAm Henry had previously purchased. The
land consisted of 225 acres iri the Abner Lee, Sr. Survey. The
a property is located ten miles northeast of Bryan on FM 1179 in the
Reliance Community. —
Martha HAMMOND was born 24 February 1857 in Louisiana and died
22 January 1940 in Brazos County, Texas. She came to Brazos County
with her family after 1860. Her father was Matthew HAMMOND, born
43
25 March 1825 in Alabama and died 5 January 1876 in Brazos County,
Texas. Her mother was Satira Jane PICKENS, born 21 December 1822
in Alabama and died 3 March 1890 in Brazos County, Texas.
The young MORGANS planted cotton and corn and ran cattle on
their land in Reliance. The 1880 Agricultural Census of Brazos
County gives a picture of their agricultural production for 1879
and 1880. William H. MORGAN owned his farm. It consisted of 25
tilled acres and 115 acres of woodland and forest. The value of
the farm including land, fences and buildings was $1,000.00 and the
farming implements and machinery were valued at $40.00. The
livestock was valued at $375.00. Mr. MORGAN spent $50.00 to repair
or build fences in 1879. He paid $110.00 in wages for farm labor
during 1879 and had help for 25 weeks. The estimated value of all
farm production (sold or consumed or on hand) in 1879 was $456.00.
On 1 June 1880 he had on hand 2 horses, 3 mules, 2 working oxen,
5 milch (sic) cows and 6 other cattle. During 1879 he had 1 calf
dropped, he purchased 4 cattle and sold 3 living cattle. Two of
his cattle either strayed or were stolen and were not recovered.
His milch (sic) cows produced 156 pounds of butter in 1879. He
also had 16 swine on hand 1 June 1880. Also on hand on 1 June were
6 chickens and 30 dozen eggs were produced in 1879. Mr. MORGAN
grew 75 bushels of Indian Corn on 12 acres. He made 6 bales of
cotton on 30 acres and cut 10 cords of wood.
William H. MORGAN or "Uncle Billy" as he was sometime called
was active in the National Grange, also called the Patrons of
Husbandry. He was one of the organizers of the Grange in the
Reliance area. The National Grange was founded in 1867. By 1875
there were over 21,000 local Granges with 850,000 members. The
members of the Grange organized opposition to the unfair practices
of the railroads such as high freight prices. William MORGAN at
one time ran a Grange (cooperative) store in the Reliance area.
He also owned and operated a cotton gin and general store near
the Morgan home. There was a post office in the MORGAN store. He
sold the store in the 1880's to Davis SHIRLEY. Sometime after 1900
this same store was sold to Charlie SHEALY. The MORGAN family was
the first family in the area to use a gasoline engine to pump water
and saw wood. Some of his early efforts at conservation included
terracing and the use of drainage ditches.
The MORGAN family was very supportive of schools and
organizations in the community and were early members of the
Reliance Baptist Church. Mr. MORGAN was an active member of the
Masonic Lodge at Kurten, Texas.

GENEALOGIST PLANNING
Interesting
and meaningful
issues of
the GENEALOGIST
require planning. Gathering ar-
ticles and
information takes
timep thus the need for plan-
ning is essential. If a stock
of ideas and
information to
work with can
be developed, fu-
ture issues
should fall into
place.
The editorial staff encourages
member participation in
developing and planning future
issues of the GENEALOGIST.
Members with special interests
are invited to write articles,
send in clippings and ideas or
suggestions pertaining to our
area at or before the turn of
the century.
Please be thinking of subjects
you feel could be developed
into good items. Some sug-
gested topics might include the
following: Reunions, family,
church: school, or military.
Membership lists,Bible records,
early professional or social
organizations, congregations or
staffs of early institutions
such as schools or hospitals.
Legalp early practicing
lawyers, court house informa-
tion such as probate in-
dexes,grand juries, etc. Educa-
tion, early county superinten-
dents, teachers, TAMU, school
census, or school histories.
The editorial staff would like
to receive items and ideas from
non members as well as members
but may not be able to include
every contribution because of
the limitation of space or the
difficulty and time required to
develop a subject. Preference,
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We have a special group of
people with such a variety of
interests and talents. I al-
ways come away from our monthly
meetings with a nice feeling.
Harry PORTZER recently
described his search for a
missing ancestor. Rynell
NOVAK took us to an impressive
DUNN family reunion. Bill
PAGE always updates us an what
is happening at Evans Library.
If you haven't been to our
meetings lately, you have
missed all this and we've
missed you. Come and bring
someone who shares an interest
in family history.
Speaking of Bill PAGE, he is
revising his "Pages Pages" for
reprint. If you are not
familiar with Bill's opus it
is a guide to genealogical re-
search at Texas ABM's Evans
Library. Thank you very much
Bill.
Hope to see you at future meet-
ings.

FAMILY STUFF (cont'd) JANIS HUNT
--------------------------- - - - - --
He did well at law, for he had mastered it as thoroughly as he
did everything he turned his mind to, and his knowledge was backed up
by a hair- trigger wit and a keenly logical mind. In a short time he
was able to build, with Grandfather's help as overseer, an
inexpensive little home, whose chief features were a huge gallery
that surrounded three sides of it, making it look more or less like
an overgrown mushroom, a wonderful white grapevine that grew over one
side of this gallery, and a magnificent pear tree at another side.
He and Mother were also able or thought they were anyway, to start a
newspaper. A little weekly called the Timpson Times -- Timpson being
the name of the town in which we then lived. (Timpson)
All seemed to be going well. He and Mother were entirely happy
in that they were beginning to have a feeling of security against the
future and they were doing work they both loved. He had a big case
coming up for trial soon, a case which was to bring him in the
largest fee he had ever received. He hade come home from town and
raced straight for his fiddle. In passing a saloon he had heard
someone playing a beautiful waltz, and he had waited outside until it
was finished. Now he wanted to nail it while it was still hot. As
soon as supper was over he took it up again. It was the Bocaccio
Waltz I think. Sometimes I have heard it called the Kiss Waltz.
He played until suddenly a string snapped. "That ends it," he
said, and tossed the fiddle on the bed. Mother reminded him that he
had better start dictating a speech that he was to give. She was to
take it down in her beautiful, legible script, for two things that
Father never seemed able to learn were penmanship and spelling. He
always wrote a throng, unformed hand, almost exactly like Bill and
Donald.
He and Mother sat down beside the table, he with his speech and
Mother with her pearl - handled gold pen, and I played some intricate
game between them and the open front door. Suddenly a strange man
appeared in the door, holding something out in his hand. I thought
he was bringing something to give to my father, and stood watching
him stride quickly forward. Then - so close to me that the powder
singed my face - there was a terrific roar and the lamp went out and
my mother screamed. The next thing I knew we were together in the
doorway, Mother screaming, and the man turning on the step to point
the gun directly in her face. Why he didn't pull the trigger a
second time I don't know, but there was already the sound of hurrying
feet coming along the road and the man hurried down the walk, with
Grandfather following him. He reached his horse and sprang into the
saddle and was off. Try to imagine that in my own lifetime a
murderer was able to make his escape all the way from a town in East
Texas to his hideout in the Rocky Mountains - on horseback.
When the lamp was lighted again my father lay on the floor, shot
through the forehead. Bill Mitchell had made good his boast.
64
The little family had known privation and grief over the death of
little brother who had died at the age of three, but this was
different. In the first place, we learned about fear, a thing we had
never known before. Mother was left with her mother and father and
two children, - my sister Pearl, two years old, and myself, seven.
Within six weeks my grandfather died. Nothing special seemed to be
wrong. He just found he couldn't go on, I suppose. He had loved my
father more than most of his own children.
Mother wrote to her brother John and asked him if he could help
her out. He wrote back that he considered the paper a "losing
venture" and would have none of it, but that he would lend her enough
money to finish paying for the house if she would give him the deeds
as security. She replied that were any number of people who would be
willing to do as much, and to whom she would prefer being indebted.
I believe those were the last letters ever to pass between them. He
never sent my grandmother the price of a stamp until years afterward
when she was in her last illness and her doctor wrote to him, as a
fellow physician. He them sent Grandmother a check for ten dollars -
in care of the doctor. Perhaps I shouldn't write this thing - but I
promised to give you all the "'grejents" and maybe now and then it
will be well for you to take a swing at a little snake of selfishness
that pokes his head up.
I was too young to realize all the ins and outs of Mother's
struggles at that time. Grandfather was buried by the Masons, of
which he had been a member since heaven knows when, and she set out
to run the paper alone. Those were the days of tramp printers, the
aristocrats of the open road and rolling -stone gentry. They could
always get a job in any town that boasted more than one paper and
they commanded top wages. They worked in one town until they began
to feel bored, and then they were up and away, and no power could
hold them. Poor mother was always having printer trouble.
I can see the old office of the Timpson Times right now as
plainly as though I had gone out of its door yesterday, with the old
Washington press and the cases of type and the rolling stone and the
composing stones and the hell box, and the filthy roller towel hard
by the wash basin.
One week just as she was ready to go to press the roller boy
failed to show up. Mother could do everything about the paper but
kick the Washington press and work the roller, which really took some
strength and endurance as well as hands inured to good hard manual
labor.
She tried in every way she knew to get hold of someone, and
finally locked the office and went out to see what she could do.
Among other places she went to Bryant's Dry Goods Emporium and asked
Mr. Bryant - the wealthiest and most eligible bachelor in town - if
he knew where she could find someone. He told her to go on back to
the office and he'd find a boy for her. In half an hour or so Mr.
65
Bryant himself appeared, all done up in a spanking new suit of
overalls and with his beautiful whiskers gleaming, and told her he
intended to roll the paper for her. And bless goodness he did. By
the time he was through his hands were one solid blister, but he held
on until the last paper was off the press.
Mother herself was a very fast typesetter, and wrote political
editorials with teeth in 'em, and what with local news and patent
inside and a goodly use of clippings she could get a pretty good
country paper on her own.
When Christmas rolled around that year, Papa's favorite saloon
keeper sent her a thirty -two pound turkey which he had been fattening
in the yard back of his saloon for months. Grandma couldn't get it
into the oven of the range, so she joyfully roasted it in front of
the fireplace, by tieing it up on a cord with a pan underneath to
catch the drippings, and every time anybody passed he was supposed to
give it a whirl. I think she enjoyed that more than anything that
had happened in years, for she had always contended that no food has
tasted right since she had been forced to cook on a stove.
On Easter Grandma made Easter Eggs for Pearl and me by boiling
them with onion skins, which turned them a lovely warm orange -ish
tan. They were the first I had ever had, and I was thrilled to
death, and ate fully a dozen before somebody stopped me.
k ' Finally Mother found what a seemed to be the ideal person for her
needs. A newspaper man from New Orleans who had developed what was
probably incipient tuberculosis and wanted to find a job somewhere in
Texas so that he might recover. Salary was not much object, and so
he was taken on. He proved to be most competent, both as a printer
and a general newspaper man, and he should have been, as he had
worked on the biggest papers in the United States at one time or
another. He was really a brilliant, capable man, and took hold of
Mother's problems with real interest. Together they really began to
pull the little paper out of its difficulties. Then one day they
took a trip to Nacogdoches and when they returned that evening they
had been married.
My grandmother was heartbroken. George Bishop had told them very
frankly that he had been a heavy drinker, but Mother knew that
marriage to her would keep him from ever being even mildly tempted to
drink again. Well, I guess there's no good going into that. His
first slip was on the occasion of the birth of their first and only
child, Lois. He had been unable to withstand the offers to treat and
so was brought home raving, crazy drunk and my terrified mother had
to leap out of bed to keep him from throwing the baby, only about two
days old, up to the ceiling and catching her again like a bean bag.
In between sprees he was a fine man, kindly and generous. But
now and then someone would get him to take a drink and he never came
up for air until he was in D.T.'s. Of course now a thing like that
s
would hardly make a ripple, but those were the days when people
didn't brag about how lit they were last night. Drunkenness was a
disgrace, and with all our troubles disgrace was just one thing we
had never known.
In the meantime, however, the Timpson Times was coming along, and
had got on the exchange list of most of the worth while southern
papers. As a result, Mother got a most flattering offer from the
Atlanta Constitution, and since my stepfather could get a job
anywhere, they decided to take it on, leasing the paper and renting
the house for a time. I don't remember just how long we stayed in
Atlanta, but Mother found my stepfather's periodical binges harder to
cope with in a city than she had back at home, so after a time they
returned to Timpson. It was not long, though, until she had an offer
from the Houston Post, and they left Timpson, this time for good.
From that time on we lived in various Texas cities - Houston,
Austin, Dallas, back to Houston, and then - the dream of Mother's
life! - New Orleans. We looked forward to seeing New Orleans as I
have never looked forward to seeing Europe. It meant everything
glamorous and sophisticated. We had become accustomed to
conveniences only a little more primitive than those we know now -
bathrooms with inside plumbing, gas, no electric lights or
telephones, and we had electric trolley cars in Houston.
When we got off the train in New Orleans the first thing to meet
our eyes was a rattling old horse -car. What a disillusionment! But
that was only the beginning. We were to discover that there was
hardly such a thing in all of New Orleans as plumbing. Water was
furnished through huge wooden barrel -like tanks that caught the rain
water from the roofs. There was no way of cutting off the flow at
the beginning of a rain to allow the roof to wash off, hence all of
the dust and dirt were poured into the cistern. Since this supply
was bound to be limited, it was obviously impossible for it to be
used for flushing toilets or filling bathtubs. One washed at a basin
and liked it, and the toilet was an ordinary outhouse over a deep
cemented pit which was emptied at stated intervals by what was
optimistically called a "sanitary wagon ". Men, provided with buckets
on long poles, scooped out the contents of these pits and emptied
them into the wagons. The odor was indescribable.
So this was our city of glamor and romance. At first we loathed
it, but in time we began to accept the inconveniences
philosophically, and to learn all about it, and Mother and I spent
days upon days poking into old holes and corners and snooping in out -
of- the -way spots. My stepfather was in a way his undoing, for he
knew every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the whole town, and they were
always ready to bend an elbow with him. Poor devil. He really did
want to let it alone.
There were times when they would decide that it was best for
Mother to give up newspaper work and concentrate on short story
67
writing, and she would stop at home for a while working on stories.
Then George would not come home some night, and would show up after a
week or so, seedy and pallid, with his salary in hock for the next
three months, and Mother would have to go back to the desk again.
Mother's birthday was coming, and we had all planned a big
birthday surprise for her with a beautiful antique bureau she wanted
very much. My stepfather was to have it there the morning of her
birthday. That night he didn't come home. The birthday was over as
far as any celebration went. For a week we had no trace of him.
Then one day a newspaper man -- Dan Moore, afterwards managing editor
of the New Orleans Times Picayune -- came with his wife. Mother went
to meet them in the parlor. They had come to tell her that George
Bishop had gone to a downtown hotel and left an order not to be
disturbed at the desk. He had gone to his room and taken a whole
bottle of morphine. When he was found, he was almost gone. He never
regained consciousness.
Well, once more she was the sole support of the family. I really
think it was easier, though, because the dreadful uncertainty of
those last years was gone. She would never again have to lie awake
through the long nights worrying over whether he would get home or
not. We were poor as all get out, but it was fun shopping in the old
Dryads Market for liver at ten cents a pound, or a ten cent soup bone
with meat enough for tomorrow's hash. Then came the great day when
instead of a rejection slip she got a check from the Ladies' Home
Journal! It was unbelievable. We were drunk with joy. Twenty -five
dollars for a story! At that rate we would soon be rolling in
wealth.
Then followed a long period of precarious living. Mother would
decide that she should turn all of her attention to fiction land give
up her newspaper work. In fact, if she had been a less reckless
spender in flush times, she could have done well on her fiction
alone, for in a remarkably short time she was receiving what was at
that time tops for her stories. Twenty -five dollar checks were soon
a thing of the past, and she was getting three figures for what would
be called now a short -short which she could toss off in a day.
Leading magazines were asking for her work. When she would get in
three or four big checks in a row she would inevitable get the
feeling that there were to be no more rejection slips and would
plunge into wild extravagances -- always for the children or a
friend, never for herself. She would lend money right and left, and
I feel sure that her work would suffer during those periods because
they were invariably followed by a terribly black time when all the
postman seemed to bring was the hateful long legal envelopes with a
nice chatty personal note from the editor but conveying the same old
story -- not quite suited to our needs at this time.
Then she would go into fits of depression such as I have never
known anyone else to equal, and I being the family clown, would work
myself into a snit dragging her out of them.
M .
The following was found concerning the same family and is a con -
clusion to "FAMILY STUFF ".
From the Dallas Morning News of July 22, 1886
EDITOR TRUITT MURDERED
The Assassin Creeps Up to His Door and Shoots Him Through the Head.
Special to the News.
Nacogdoches, July 21. - -Jim Truitt, Editor of the Timpson
Times, Timpson Tex., was murdered last evening about 8 o'clock.
He and his wife were sitting in their room talking, his back being
close to the open door. The assassin placed the muzzle of his
pistol close to the head of his victim,_ who turned at the same
moment and -the ball entered just above the eye, coming out at the
back of his head. He died in about five minutes.
Just before dark a man rode up and paid a negro boy 15 cents
to show him Truitt's house. Hitching his horse about seventy yards
distant he crept up, fired the fatal shot, retraced his steps,
mounted his horse and fled. A cousin of the murdered man is in hot
pursuit.
Sheriffs north and west of here will be on the alert for a man
of medium size, stout built, very dark skin, between 30 and 40
years old, commonly dressed and wearing a broad brimmed white hat.
