Goodloe/Goodlow W. Morgan's father was Reuben Morgan (b. 1789 and d. 1866 in (Caswell) NC and his mother was Mary Merritt (b. 1791 and d. 1870 in (Caswell) NC.Reuben Morgan andMary Merritt are as far back as I have been able to research to date. I do not know if Reuben's mother or Mary's mother may have been surnamed Goodloe.However, I suspect that the repeated use of the surname has some importance in the family.I was born very late in my parents' lives, and my grandfather Samuel Goodloe Morgan died when I was 7 months old.I have therefore not been able to determine where the name Goodloe was introduced on our family naming scheme.
