Notes

Thomas is buried next to his father in Ebenezer Cemetery. No date is listed, just the inscription, "My little Tomey".

Thomas is buried in Ebenezer Cemetery. No date is listed, just the inscription, "My little Tomey". We know from my mother and histories that Thomas J. Morgan, Sr. died first because he was the first person buried at Ebenezer. We know that Thomas J. Morgan's administration that was filed in Feb. of 1853 does not name Thomas Jr. Therefore, "My little Tomey" is Elizabeth's reference to her son Thomas, Jr. who died after Thomas Sr. and before the administration of Thomas Sr.'s estate. Elizabeth and her children had an extremely difficult 7 months between 1852 and 1853. My mother also told me how sad her great-grandmother was that she lost little Tomey when he was so young. Her mother had relayed these tragedies to her about her own grandparents and Uncle.

This young Thomas appears to have had a sibling named after him and his father and born within range of his father's death. This Thomas J. Morgan Jr. lived into adulthood.
