From "A Valley Heritage - The King-Morgan Families of Calhoun County, Alabama" by Morris Penny - Huntsville, AL.
"Jonathan Morgan, youngest child of Samuel Morgan, Sr., was born in Franklin County, Georgia, just after the beginning of the 19th Century. At the age 19 he married a young lady named Pricilla and to them were born ten children. She died in 1832 and was buried in the Mount Pleasant Methodist Church Cemetery in present day Banks County.
A short time after Pricilla's death, Jonathan married Christianna B. Gardner and to them were born seven children. Jonathan Morgan was a farmer whose property was near Homer, Georgia. When Franklin County was divided to create new counties, the Morgan Farm was placed within the boundaries of Banks County. Christianna was a good mother to her stepchildren. Even when they were disobedient or mischievious, she never told Jonathan. She was quite fond of chewing tobacco, so the boys would often slip it to her. Her secret was successfully kept from Jonathan until her death. When her clothes were being stored away, Jonathan found a small piece of tobacco in a dress and not til then did he discover that his wife occasionally chewed tobacco."
Jonathan married his third wife, Christianna Gardner, on Sep. 23, 1832, in Clarke County, Georgia. They had seven children: Lucretia Ann, Samuel Floyd, Lucinda W., Rhoda, Anderson, Green Bush, and Thomas Jefferson. Jonathan outlived all four of his wives and had a total of 17 children.
