On this date, Jan 11 in 1869 Miss Caroline Elizabeth Mitchell was born. Lizzie as she was known as was the 2nd of 11 kids born to Shadrack Robinson (aka S.R.) and Hannah (Rankin) Mitchell in Dandridge, TN.
The family would move from TN to SW Missouri sometime between 1870-1880 where S R and his sons would become prominent farmers here in Barton County. In 1888, when she was 19 yrs old she would marry George Morgan. George’s mother died in 1874 and his father remarried and relocated first to McDonald Co and finally out to KS. George decided to stay in Barton County and in the 1880 census was a farm laborer for John Bary.
As stated, George and Lizzie married in 1888. In reality this is when our direct line started farming in Barton County and farm ground is still in the family today. They would go on to have 3 children:
Lottie Adelia Morgan 1889-1948 m. Will Crockett
Arthur (Art) Morgan 1899-1972 m. Alice Pugh
Raymond Morgan 1907-2000 m. Reta Scolfield.
Lizzie (zMitchell) Morgan was Henry’s Great Grandmother. She is buried at the Oakton (aka Oakgrove) Cemetery.
